Korengal valley anyone?

[Jarryd_455495]

I've only been able to play on weekends lately but when ever i look on the list, i never see korengal valley being played which makes me sad cause i really want to play it.

So my question is if anyone else sees this, with this map or any map? or if someone could tell me when a populated server that is playing korengal valley is happening?

hey mate, add me on xfire trekkyaaron and I'll shout if a server I'm on is playing it

I've plyed it aroud 5 times so far, on Tactical Gamer

I just played Korengal last night, and had to sit through non-stop whining about the map. A few of the people on my side (US) actually asked everyone to suicide and stay dead, so that the map would end quicker. It is a difficult map for the US to win, requiring more teamwork and communication than many other maps. I like it because of that, but I think many people who are new to PR get frustrated with the map, which is why I think you don't see it too often.

The thing that ruins it was the fact that the old main was so much better than the current one, considering this one is worse for the baserape problem.

And one supply truck? What genius thought of that?

I think I was playing in that same game (H server) and I was one of the guys complaining along with my entire squad. The map is completely broken now without rallypoints. There is a reason why you never saw FOBs built on Korengal in 0.85. The terrain sucks, you have basically 1 road and you can only cross the river in a few select spots, and with the view distance, you can spot any FOB from across the map essentially. We tried our hardest to stay out of US main and get up FOBs, but it was pointless with the major Taliban advantage. It wasn't our team either as we destroyed the same team next game on Gaza as HAMAS (even though that map is imbalanced too IMO).

My squad was the only one to even get up a FOB too (actually we got up two) and the only spot we could get it up in was A1 in a corner off the map and in A3 which was easily overrun as they heard the truck coming a mile away. The exit to US main doesn't even make any sense. How are you supposed to get out of main without getting shot when you have to do like 5 turns due to US roadblocks and than go down a winding hill without going off the road, hitting a mine, or being shot out? I was personally shot and then my co-driver had to take over and get it out of there. Even if you get out of main, you still have a high chance of getting killed or dying from a fall and without any FOBs or permanent RPs, you have to spawn right back into the main rape. I would have much preferred that the old US main stayed and was beefed up and given more cover than the current one.

Actually I think that makes the Korengal most near realistic map among PR becasue I'm pretty sure it feels like for any BLUFOR tries to fight in that kind of geography.

And again this also makes the team play and FOB defense so much important. Although that much change in .909 squads are still running for the next flag without looking back. People should get the importance of defense squads! For Korengal there must be a dedicated FOB Defense squad.

Though I still think Korengal is definitely a INS friendly map. May be "Add heli to Korengal" was not that much bad suggestion after all.

p.s.:awww...i wanna play Korengal

It doesn't matter if its more realistic or not, its just not fun as BLUFOR because you get raped no matter what you do. Sure, you can defend a FOB to the end, but you gain nothing for it, just ticket losses. That's if you can even get a FOB up in the first place. I mean, you have 1 exit from US main and three roads away from it which are easy to mine and camp with technicals. If a cache spawns to the North, then its even worse as they can blow up the North pass. Any random sapper can totally neutralize any US logistics or vehicles.

A helo doesn't change much either. Where is he supposed to land? It would just be a waste of tickets as he would get shot down or crash everytime he took off or landed.

it don't think it is due to it being a bad map it is the bloody lag that their is on that map now especally the us main massive fps drop

I'm agree with you as I said at the end. Despite to all defending and teamplay again if also INS team plays well it will be a hell for BLUFOR.

I meant a CAS or Cobra which will definitely make a difference
