Re: New version and new map...?

You guys may also notice a new server variable in the server list. It says bf2_infantryonly.

Re: New version and new map...?

Someone also mentions the server variable bf2_infantryonly, but I don't see that anywhere in gamemonitor.

Re: New version and new map...?

No variable present though, so I DOUBT it's what you guys think it is.

However . . . BF2_Plasma . . . ? That's a new one.

Also it's NOT a SF map as it clearly states US vs MEC. In SF, it'd be SEALs vs MECSF as can be seen here:

aLSO IT'S A "159.153.X.X" server. This Range of IP addy's belong to EA, hence it is real. My only two concerns are the server name, and the player names. Usually BFTEST accounts are "BFTEST#". Now there are test accounts using "leet speak" or using other names, follwed by BFTEST.

Road to Jalalabad? This is a bit strange... Jalalabad is in Afghanistan Between Kabul and Pakistan, which does not fit into the Mec/US scheme. (The MEC maps are in the Gulf Region). Also, using a real town is quite peculiar (correct me if I'm wrong, but as far as I know Mashtuur and Karkand are fictional settlements)

Nuh, bf2_plasma has been in there since day one.

bf2_infantryonly is there alright in game monitor. Interesting stuff indeed. That must mean that there are no vehicles or planes. Sounds very cool and groovy. However, the server variable is not set to anything (those kind of flags are a boolean 0 or 1, ie on or off) but this is blank meaning that is not actually active yet.

Going by the version number I would *guess* that if this stays the same it is only a hotfix as the new version (1.1.2887-719.0) is too close to the current version (1.1.2878-710.0) to imply a major change so maybe it's running 1.31.

I can't tell you how disappointed I am - for me that is DICE selling out

I'm puzzled as to why you're disappointed and think that Dice are selling out. I reckon that if it's true it sounds good offering the option to runs maps with infantry only. If it's available as an option then where's the harm in that?

I, for one, would definitely be interested in playing on infantry-only maps.

I dont think its a sell-out... its OBVIOUS by reading these boards that a LOT of people appreciate infantry combat free from molestation by vehicles, so why not make it an optional game mode without having to fear persecution by BFROE kids.

Infantry only is a horrible idea. More walking....why on earth would that be a good idea?

Think for a second. No one is going to run a server with this setting on on kubra dam or zatar wetlands 64 sized. It's for city maps, 16 and 32 sized maps.

Re: New version and new map...?

You could have cars/buggies in the game! No tanks no planes no helos... just transport cars to get yourself frm a to b faster.


Inf. only = awsome.
