Infantry only mode, worst idea ever.

[thehed]

Re: Infantry only mode, worst idea ever.

IO is going to be popular for maybe two weeks, then 90% of the BF2 players will be back on regular BF2. Why? Check out the Iron Gator map in SF. This map makes up a small portion of all SF servers when you're trying to find one to play. The play is repetitive, and
the match lasts a fraction of the time compared to other maps.

Maybe,
but Iron Gator is not a good Example. Many do not have the power to play it smooth.

Re: Infantry only mode, worst idea ever.

Who said anything about turning BF2 into an IO game?

WAKE UP YOU LOSERS - IO is a game mode. You armor whores aren't going to be affected by it, okay?!

It just means that both parties of people will be happy. Armor whores keep their precious BF2, but people who don't like armor get their IO. Pretty fair and simple.

finaly someone who understand my point. they add something to the game. how can you hate that? and no, i dont gonna play css. i hate that game, i just love the bf2 engine with the nice graphics, guns, maps and commander mode.

Werent your little neurons able to read the point the original poster makes in the first post??

Servers turning on this feature affects the rest of servers making vehicles less available due to the offer decrease.

BTW i dont know why you all little whiners that get owned constantly think that all the ppl in tanks, jets and vehicles in general is the only thing they know how to do.
I stop counting the whiners that accused me of having no skill on foot when i owned them with my tank getting out of it and owning them again without tank.

When im in a server I CHOOSE what to play how to play it and when to play it. That includes going on foot, on a jeep or in a plane.

I DONT WANT ANYONE SAYING TO ME WHAT I CAN HAVE AND NOT HAVE inside the purpose of this game: MILITARY WARFARE WITH VEHICLES

Again, the ****ing whiners win another battle, they ****ed all the fun out of mashtuur making the Bh an unusable cow and their untalented asses want dice to nerf the whole vehicle warfare aspect of the game.

Congrats dice, you ****ed again.

whoring in a tank is for noobs.

Thanks!

And getting owned by a tank and not doing nothing about it ( c4 it, at it, mine it, etccc ) is really a noob galore demonstration.

Congrats on your unskill talents to stop a tank.

Exacly!! they will switch to IO cause it's more fun. If 50% is switching, then IO isn't a bad idea after all uh?

get out of your tank and stop me. then you got skills. i'm not saying that i pwn you or something. but for me? IO servers is the only place on bf2 where you can show your real aiming and reaction skills. offcourse i can C4 your... sneek behind your tank and put it on the back, but even that is more the right timing and not skills.

Re: Infantry only mode, worst idea ever.

IO mode at least addresses the problem of jets and choppers been hediously overpowered on most maps. Dalian 16 player and Sharqi 32 player really suffer from having choppers on the map as chopper whores fly around obtaining newbie points from easy kills. Jets are no better on levels like Dalian 32 and Oil Fields 32+ and Gulf of Oman 32+ they just fly around and bomb entire flag points then head back to reload instantly and are back to hassle u within like 3 seconds!

Cause thats the point of the chopper.

You clear the area so your ground troops can take the flag more easily.

HAve a problem with that??

Create teamwork and with anotehr teammate drop the chopper down with at kit, vodnik, tank or whatever.

Or even go, Grab your own chopper and try owning the enemy chopper.

You can´t cause you are skilless at flying??

Then **** yourself.

OMg ****ing whiners...

"uuuu bubububuubu i got owned by an aair machine, EA/Dice please nerf it so i can ran across the map and kill with my elite new unlock uuubuuuuhubu"

Oh my god... pussys...

Exacly!! they will switch to IO cause it's more fun. If 50% is switching, then IO isn't a bad idea after all uh?

Bs, they will switch to it cause you´ll be able to rank more points as a medic, supply, grenade whoring, claymore spamming, etc.

Im trying to get my expert explosive badge and the most effective way is karkand claymore whoring all the way.

SOme days ago i did 31 kills and 12 deaths only by claymore.

A pitty that i didnt get the badge though.

get out of your tank and stop me. then you got skills. i'm not saying that i pwn you or something. but for me? IO servers is the only place on bf2 where you can show your real aiming and reaction skills.

Aiming and reaction...

IS that the only skill you can demonstrate in bf2??

Plus you say it as if there was no aming and reaction in tank assaulting. try getting into an area full of antitanks or something and see if you cana void all the rockets going towards you.

If that is skilless then im the pope!!

But nevertheless, lets see.

There is:

teamwork skills.

Strategy skills.

Flying skills.

Commanding skills.

etc, etc, etc...

But hey, we have to reduce all that to one main skill and throw it down the bin cause there are people that dont respect the original purpose of this type of game: Military walfare including vehicles.

Great example of how to nerf a game entirely itself.

You just have to aim and shoot.

Great skill. LOL.

I believe inteligence will have to stay out of the equation then.

your choice is the easy choice. take a chopper and shoot the whole team down. rly.. who need skills for that. you don't even need to handle the chopper. only the gun. and i think you got also unlocks so what is the point? that's a fair game. but hey, there are thousends of servers. even 50% is switching, there is no problem for you.

ok. and now take a look at IO. more teamwork skills (it's fact). More Strategy skills. Commanding skills are the same. so only flying skills disapear. mmm.. not a big deal to me.

Re: Infantry only mode, worst idea ever.

Id have no problem with not having IO mode if dice didnt make me feel like a whore for using vehicles, I pass by tanks just because its so boring and so easy to dodge/kill anything that is attacking you. Flying an attack helicopter is a joke, I mean woopdie doo people trying to AT you, and a bunch of static AA that you can kill in a single shot.

Vehicles might have been fun had dice known what they were doing, the old 1.2 AA made copters so fun to ride in but the whiners need their godmode so thats gone..

I mean with attack copters you can shoot in the general vicinity of infantry to kill them, and you can 1 shot tanks from 400 meters away with the TV missile, yet you have a problem with a couple of static AA, with rediculously low lock on range, and flares to give you tons of time to take them out being able to kill you. And that is why they are making infantry mode, its to appease you as much as to appease us.

Re: Infantry only mode, worst idea ever.

I'm tempted to start a thread proposing that COOP should be ranked and to everyone objecting I'll answer "It's an option, if you don't like it then don't play it!" using red large font capitals and suggesting everyone that doesn't understand such a simple fact are idiots.

[rowdyman]

Re: Infantry only mode, worst idea ever.

I think they already had the a good foundation for IO mode in the SF maps. They just needed to remove APC's, tanks, and choppers. Leave the small, light, fast jobs like the ATV and the technicals, and the game would play very well on most of the SF maps already created. I mean when I think Special Forces, I don't picture an Abrams MBT; I picture highly trained, lightly armed, and highly mobile.

Re: Infantry only mode, worst idea ever.

i just think that there worried there won't be a lot of grunts on the ground to rape because a lot of people will move over to IO. i know i'm going to:)

if anyone has played the small map with 32+ players. they know that most kits are still used and it's a bloodbath. talk about non stop action.

people that say there only going to play medic now are just point whores. remember it's just a game to have fun playing. you only need one medic per squad no matter what map your playing.


i play city maps for a reason. so i don't get raped from the air by point whores so i can enjoy the game. i think a lot of people feel the same way.

i find ground fighting more fun than being in the air or in a tank. it's going to be nice to have more maps to play than just the city maps.

Exactly my thoughts.

:laugh: Maybe there should also be a ranked IO-COOP-bots only mode. I'm sure they're getting tired of all of the kills from their human counterparts. NERF THE HUMANS!!!

I recommended a long-time Halo friend of mine to play BF2. After two days of playing it, he gave up because there was too much going on, he couldn't tell who was who, and the armor/planes frustrated him. I tried playing Halo several months ago, and quit because it was too simple; it felt like paintball instead of a military battle.

IO bothers me for the same reason. Why design a game centered around modern military forces and then simplify it by removing the things that make the game distinct? They might as well give everyone a bolt-action rifle and call it Battlefield WWI.

Excuse me my choice??

When i get artilleryed, or killed by chopper i try to find a solution.

If my chopper isnt available or isnt doing the job then i get a tank.

If not available or whatever i get an AA.

And in the worst case scenario a Tow.

I even try joining someone trying to get it down ( do you think you´re the only one getting owned?? ) and try to bring him down with my rockets.

Again. if that is the easy way then....

So thats it, you are resuming all the game and its potential in one sole thing. That sucks.

ok. and now take a look at IO. more teamwork skills (it's fact). More Strategy skills. Commanding skills are the same. so only flying skills disapear. mmm.. not a big deal to me.

its fact??

Its your fact.

Try flying a plane looking at the hud and searching for targets the grpund trooops have spotted. Then hitting them with the only two bombs.

That if you are not trying to get out the ****ing enemy fighter that is searching for your bomber.

And that again if you dont have to take out the enemy bomber that supossedly is bombing out all your infantry.

Is that skiless??

c´mon... gimme a break.

And no, commanding skills are not the same.

You dont need the same amount of strategy only directing ground troops than goprund troops plus tanks you have to make sure are always near a supply drop, saying to your plane squads what targets to bomb, or wherte to go, saying which flags to clear, etc, etc, etc.

Bombing is not that hard, and you really dont have to worry about the bomber taking out your infantry. So really you got 1 thing to worry about and thats the enemy plane, and those infantry that are getting "taken out by the enemy bomber" dont ONLY have to worry about that enemy plane like you do, they have to worry about every single god damn thing from hills that are to steep, to going between a car thats parked to close to a wall. So go ahead and counter this with "planes are supposed to rule the battlefield" or whatever other crap you can produce because planes are the newbiest thing in the game, and any fun they might have been has been stripped down by people like you who just want godmode, and say unhhh planes are to harddddd.
