    'Infantry Only' is killing this game

    I myself enjoy playing infantry only although only on 16 player maps versus 32 or 64.

    Well now my gaming experience includes joining several servers and sifting for new rules/ content to include the level of server rules' participation and administration. In other words, I gotta go through 3 servers to find one that's sane and this includes the same servers sometimes depending on the admin or lack there of.

    Then there are always stupid rules like; 'Jeeps OK for transport only' meaning don;t use the '50 cal.

    Well for me it's just getting out of control because today I played on;

    an admin'd infantry only server where the admin repeatedly kicked players on our team but no one on the other then kicked me for saying "this server sucks, is it infantry only or what?" because the other team had been liberally using theirs and our armor.

    a spontaneous infantry only 32 server where there were no rules posted about it but several had decided to go inf. only with about 30 people playing so you can imagine the level of participation and an admin of course just kicking away.....

    You can't escape the knife/ pistol & infantry only servers unless you only play 64 player maps and again the participation is moronic.

    So........

    I assume there are maps for 5V5 inf. only matches for TWL, etc..that don't have armor/ jeeps on them at all.

    SO WTF EA/ Dice, make these non-armor 5V5 maps ranked in the next patch and then religiously clean out the rif-raff servers so the paying customers can have a good experience and buy all the rest of your BF2 stuff down the road.

    I think the majority of us want to trust that EA/ Dice to some degree feels the same way.

    Heck, make a ranked 16 player Karkand map mod where you only get pistol/ knives [no armor/ jeeps] with no map related ticket drain or support kits [medic revive, resupply] and let the kids have their fun their too. This would only effect knife & pistol badges & global scores so who cares what they do there.

    Past that, religiously clear player stats and close servers for anything not following the ROE.

    Life goes on and think of all the e-mail you won't get....

    PS - also fix the hotel map glitch on karkand please.

    don't sweat it bro, the next patch will have a infantry only mode. I suspect when this comes out a "conquest" game mode filter will net you servers your lookin for. people that want infantry only will be filtering servers with that game mode. I predict a lot of the "OMG CHOPPER,TANK,JET WHORES!" type of posts will be reduced...I don't think you can get rid of em =\ After Inf Only mode comes out a simple "play infantry only please..." type response to these threads should end it.

      I think this wouldnt be a problem if they had an "infantry only" option tbh.

        infantry only maps in any shape or set of rules are against the ROE..

        so I wouldnt go around bragging that you like to play on them

            Infanty only is rather stupid. Levels like iron gator, where helis can only effect a certain area are better.

            Ie not infantry only but infantry have an advantage is the best IMO.

              The only real skill in infantry servers is who can dolphin dive the best.

                  jump in a tank, **** everyone off, laugh at them, then leave with the combat points.

                    I think it would be nice to implement a map that catered to infantry only with no Arty or armor/jets. Maybe in a swamp/delapitated forest with foxholes and whatnot where its just man vs man without damn arty killing you every 3 minutes or a tank blowing you to bits 6 times because he's pointed at your spawn point.

                      I sometimes go on infantry only and use tanks and apc's. It's funny when everyone goes crazy, but they don't realise it is my right to use vehicles according to ROE.

                        If I want infantry only I'll play a different game. I bought BF2 because of its total war gameplay. Adding an infantry only option is going to scatter the already dwindling amount of players in two groups of online players, making it even harder to find a good server. Brilliant.

                          Play on TPG (the perfect General) They only have rules on not stealing teammate vehicles, TKing for vehicles and that's about it. Everything else goes like it should. And 90% of the time there is actually an admin present.
