by doing what exactly?
Leaving all the novice players in counterstrike lite and the real players on normal servers?
how on earth can you possibly think that BF2 infantry combat is a test of skill?

Re: Infantry only mode, worst idea ever.

You act as though the vehicle combat is any different... The non working AA, AT missiles that go through things, apc that can shoot in any crack and crevice and take out like 5 people, jets that can carpet bomb large chunks of the map and fly over an airfield for a second and come back and do it over and over again, choppers that have the same non-aiming capabilities to take out infantry as apc and a 1 shot TV missiles to take out tanks while they themselves can take more than 1 missiles to shoot down.

And people still play HALO, that game seems worse to me than the amount of crap that goes on BF2 with the guns.

Lol classic... non working AA... haha I shot down so many planes with it since 1.2 it's FAR from useless...learn how to use it.
AT missiles going through things... I thought that was fixed? At least I didn't encounter that ever since...
Yup, APCs can take out infantry that is hiding behind inappropriate cover, that was even an advertising slogan for BF2...
"jets that can carpet bomb large chunks of the map" LOL, what a crap, it's not likewe are having B52s there... they are effective, yes, but not superhuman.
"choppers that have the same non-aiming capabilities to take out infantry as apc and a 1 shot TV missiles to take out tanks while they themselves can take more than 1 missiles to shoot down."
HAve you ever thought about the fact that there are more threads at the same time for a chopper than choppers? No? Well I thought so... + They are choppers, they are meant to do that.

IC - when killing in vehicles it's just realistic. Ok - maybe all planes should land to re-arm, helos should re-arm slower, and vehicles, and Tanks need a crate or return to base to re-arm. As a support guy my arms sure get tired lugging around all thoes DU rounds so I can re-supply tanks.

Yes, the boys wil be playing IO and the men will be playing vanilla.

Basically planes landing to rearm would be a really cool feature, hte fact that losers would block you or drive a vehicle into you and then punish while you are doing it not. And no, they are not realistic, because if they were, a singlebomb would cause as much damage as the whole load does now... (plus many other things of course) Tanks carry about the same amount of rounds they do irl too.
And you totally missed my point, which was: Why bother including vehicles if they are just as strong as infantry? And why is there just a limited amount if they are as strong as infantry? That wouldn't make any sense if vehicles where on par with infantry and grounds vehicles with planes.

Yes, the boys wil be playing IO and the men will be playing vanilla.

You are a moron, all of you who say anything like blabla is for boys the other thing for men...
It will be like that:
The anti vehicle whiners will play IO only.
The vehicle whores will play normal mode only.
Guys like me who like to use the full potential of the game will play whatever they like to play at the given moment.

Btw a hint: IO IS vanilla.

Oh rly. Vanilla is original and unmodified. You saying that IO mode was in the original?

There's 4 types of players.

1. Infantry map spm whores who play the 1 to 3 maps yielding the highest spm rate (their greatest threat is the tank and helo, which is removed to pander to their points grab with IO mode). Generally poor team players.

2. Equipment whores who get their highest spm by spawn raping. Typically a helo pilot on Sharqi, tank on Karkand, pilot on Wake etc. Sometimes good, and sometimes bad team players.

3. Real players, MacGuyver types who use anything and everything to suit the situation. They play hard and play well. Usually good team players too.

4. Noobs and tards (enough said).

Now if there's any sorting of men from boys there it's definitely type 1 = boys, type 3 = men.

Re: Infantry only mode, worst idea ever.

We do not want IO so we can pad our stats, does it matter to a medic whether the person hes healing or reviving was hurt by a vehicle or by an infantry? In my opinion this mode will get rid of stat padders, those people that camp infront of karkand, people in jets that focus on the ground instead of on eachother, and those that prevent people from leaving the carrier. Basically the things that ruin the game, just so those people can get a few useless points. I do not hate vehicles, just those that dont require aiming, and those that are invincible to the ground.

And sorry if I dont believe, "LOL I kill planes since 1.2!" considering in 1.2 they were impossible not to kill with and have been gradually nerfed back to what they were pre 1.2. Against the pilots I seem to play against I've killed a few but only when they make really really stupid mistakes.

I've seen medics revive the same guy 7 or 8 times with no attempt to kill the enemy infantry first, the enemy just as happy to keep killing the revived guy letting the medic live on to revive again and again.

Only, what happens if the dead guy was killed by an APC rocket or tank shell, why he's unrevivable, a big problem for a Karkand spm medic whore.

IO isn't getting rid of stat padding, IO IS stat padding.

O my. IO is not a MOD. it's a MODE.

mode--> MOD. that's a huge difference

Re: Infantry only mode, worst idea ever.

There is more skill in having an gun, with a crosshair and bullet, than there is sitting in a base, rotating your turret, waiting for anything that spawns infront of you to 'pwn'.

And if by the luckiest of chances, the poor soul who just spawned makes it into cover, like the Oman watch towers, the explosives shells will still make simple work of the infrantry.

How about this for an idea for all you tank lovers out there. How about, instead of your 40+ ton tank getting ordinary points, they have to get 4 kills to get a point as they lack skill to use =). also, a grenade has a chance of damaging the tracks, and standard infrantry can stick a cork in the barrel to take away the use of your Hell cannon? =) (Notice the extreme sarcasm in my last suggestion )
