Infantry only mode, worst idea ever.

Re: Infantry only mode, worst idea ever.

You know, I may just be dropping in here but I still don't get why this thing is worth a 17 page discussion. It's quite simple to me, and I don't need 5 paragraphs to make my points.

If you don't like IO, then don't go to servers that have it enabled. Is that so hard?
Oh wait, so you're concerned that the people on those servers are going to beat your score in the rankings by whoring out on Karkand? Already happening, guys. Come on. There's always some prick on the Karkand servers that always has the tanks and ends the game with 150+ points over and over. But hey, those of us who play BF2 for FUN instead of rank and fame, don't care one dime about IO servers. Then again, lets face it: Most of us do play for the points, but there is a diffrence between the whores (the guys in the top 10 who only whore Karkand) and the people who don't have the crazy urge to end EVERY round with at least 70 points.

So what if some medic noob plays 24/7 on a Karkand IO server and gets 150 points a pop? Is it lame, yes it is, kinda. Am I going to lose sleep over it? No... not at all. And neither should any of you. It's just a game guys, get a girl or something.

Which is exactly what i said (admittedly in a longer winded manner) in all my previous posts. Its not just about the stats, they seem to think IO will mean the end of Bf2 as they know it, all the servers will switch to IO and there will be no where for them to play with vehicles. To me, thats melodramatic (i got it right that time PlaneWhore, wheres my gold star) and over the top. Server owners know there will be people who want to use vehicles, thus there will always be servers avaialble to you.

Will Infantry Only Servers be Ranked? I can't find an offical source to verify.

Re: Infantry only mode, worst idea ever.

There is no question anymore about us getting IO mode - it's here, deal with it.
What you guys should be arguing about is making it all in can be.
Personally - by removing armour, jets and attack helicopters from BF2 that is all you need to have a kickass IO mode. Why change anything else?

Looks like it yes, BFROE director stating the RoE will be re-written to cover it is pretty much a sign of a done deal to me. Colin Clark said they hadnt decided yet, this says otherwise;

Third from the bottom Here

Note: He has since edited his post, no doubt under the instruction of DICE. Fortunately i copied what he had written in the un edited post to our community forum and it read as follows;

There will still be an ROE people it will be adjusted to fit this game mode but do not fear it will cover rules that keep knife/pistol servers at bay.

We will let you know when NEW ROE is out!

Pedantic AND sarcastic?

Oh come on now Deliverance, that wasn't me being pedantic, that was me making a humorous observation. Which was true, by the way.. I couldn't spell parallel to save my life, of course up until about 3 posts ago.

Am I sarcastic? Of course I am. Einstein was a sarcastic bastard too I'm sure. Am I an ego-maniac poised to dethrone Kim Jong-il himself? Maybe. But pedantic? I take offense to that comment. You sir have crossed the line. I challenge you to a DE duel at sundown.. or however long it takes you to reinstall your copy of CS:S. Then after than you can suck it up and admit that CS:S provides you with superior infantry combat.. the likes of which you will never see out of the Battlefield series.. ever.

And these are the posts that will end this thread. Everything that can be said has been said, and now the ball is in DICE's rather narrow and dilapidated side of the court. We'll see if they make the wise choice, or the easy choice.

I write code for a living

Well done, i opted out of Binary Calculous at Uni, but at least you spelt it correctly. And who the hell codes in binary?

Robots. Of course.

Exactly...keep all the transport vehicles so you can get off the carrier, or move to where the action is instead of having to hoof it.

Simple 'vehicle-lite' mode:

• Replace Tank/APC spawns with Heavy Jeeps
• Repalce AA vehicle spawns with Light Jeeps
• Remove Jets
• Replace Attack Helicopter & Littlebird spawns with Transport Helicopters (i.e. USMC carrier on Wake Island 2007 would have 3 Blackhawk spawns)

That's it!!! Pretty simple, no HP changes...and every class will still be useful. Unlike the current implementation of Infantry-only mode that will make Medics godly and Engineers useless. Might as well call it 'Medic only' mode.

As a further example on Karkand, the USMC Gas Station flag would have 4 Heavy Jeep spawns instead of 1 Tank, 2 APCs and 1 Heavy Jeep. The MEC Factory flag would also have 4 Heavy Jeeps.

Robots. Of course.

A real programmer wouldn't have the 'Enter' key on his keyboard...he would use:

\r\n or rather:

00001101 00001010

Re: Infantry only mode, worst idea ever.

DOWN with "IO" mode. I hope it burns in hell, along with the thousands of prebubecant angst ridden tools that have some burning desire to play such an idiotic mode. :cry:


Or better yet, since it seems to be a forgone conclusion that this will be implemented whether we wanted it or not: Make a better game browser so I can avoid this giant Pile Of Sh1t looming on the horizon!!!

Re: Infantry only mode, worst idea ever.

You mean Windows?

I guess you Linux programmers will just do 00001010 then?

Make a better game browser so I can avoid this giant Pile Of Sh1t looming on the horizon!!!

Good question. Will there be a new option in the Browser to filter for Infantry Only? Or will it just show up as a server option? Things like Autobalance or Ticket Ratio?

I suspect it will be the the laddar.

Re: Infantry only mode, worst idea ever.

The problem I see with increased HP is that, even now sometimes it takes half a clip to kill some one. So with increased HP I can see 2 clips used to kill one guy, which would really suck.

.

Eventually every code is broken down into 00001010, yes even windows. Otherwise that box under or on your table would be just a box.
