Re: Infantry only mode, worst idea ever.
You were doing so well with a reasonably mature arguement, then they you let yourself down so badly with yet another immature, and irrelevant CS comment. I Crave IO, i played CS since its original beta, all the way through to source (the same goes for DoD, TFC). I dont want to play CS, if i did i would install it again and play it. I want to play BF2.
I've said it once, and I'll say it again...BF2 and CS are two COMPLETELY different styles of game, if you are to blinkered to realise that (or it suits you to see it that way so you can use it as a moronic excuse for an arguement) then i pity you.
Your pretty up your own arse arent you dude? "I told you so"? Lets say, that in a parralell universe that you are right, and IO is removed. How does that make you any better than all the whiney little turds who got this game so dumbed down a 5 year old could play it? Seriously, how does that make you any different? You whine because your either a) unable, or unwilling to play IO or B) because your to selfish to let those who do actually have the OPTION to do so, which in my book makes you on a equal footing with them.
I note how you havent argued your case in the Poll thread? Why is that? Because 2 thirds of the poll respondents actually want IO and it wont be such an easy debate as one in this thread, which is aimed at those who DONT want IO?
Whether you like it or not, its all kind of irrelvant, DICE will appease the majority (as they should) and in this case, the poll is conclusive. Your to paranoid to realise that your warped vision of BF2 armageddon where there are only IO servers and your precious vehicles dont exist is completely unfounded.

Thanks for fortifying my position. Which is exactly why I'm concerned about the impact IO will have on my enjoyment of BF2. You say players are "concerned with points in this game". And I'd agree, you are right. Don't try to sell IO as a quality gameplay mode to me if the only way you can sell it to the BF2 population is to make it a ranked point fest. If IO mode is as great as certain players in this thread are speculating, then DICE could EASILY release it as an unranked option and purely from the quality of the gameplay it'd be a huge success and doesn't need the ranked gimmick.
Back to the original point I was making, players ARE in fact obsessed with points. So obsessed with points they'll become obsessed with the one gameplay mode that will provide them with the easiest stream of points possible regardless if they find it less fun or linear ect. I find this fact disturbing, and I for one know I could never play like that.
So let's rehash the basic reasons why IO was and still is a bad idea.
I feel good though, I've done my part to warn the public, and either way I win. Either I get to continue playing an untainted Battlefield 2 as DICE drops the idea, OR I get to come back on these forums a week or two after patch day and flip up my middle finger at certain individuals, and go "Told you so!". Don't say I didn't warn you.
Finally, to all of those players who really crave an IO mode, I've said it once, and I'll say it again...

- 1. DICE Canda DEVS have wasted how many hundreds of man hours working on this mode? What could they've accomplished instead of dicking around with this childish gameplay mode? Oh I don't know, revamp the assault class, rebalance medics, completely rework the airplanes and A2A system.. just to name a few. Fact is, I've already been directly effected by the time DICE has wasted creating this mess
- 2. This legalized version of point farming will attract a lot of players (mostly for points), it'll split BF2 communities, ruin good servers as frequent players leave to either join IO or leave IO, and this will have a global negative impact on BF2 as a whole. I've seen it in other games, and I know I'll see it in this one too.
- 3. This IO mode will split the different types of players and create a disturbing balance on vehicle on servers. Because where you had a reasonable 10 out of 64 players trying to get armor, you've now got essentially double that (give or take), and as we all know the end result of having 20 players trying to get a vehicle is a horrible team and a boring round.
