Infantry only mode, worst idea ever.

Re: Infantry only mode, worst idea ever.

In your first sceenshot the top guy on your team is indeed support. But you have the same team score yet he has 24 more kills then you. And the guy below you is support with -1 team points and 21 more kills then you. What are you trying to prove? In your second one there are 16 or so people with more kills then you. Again what are you trying to prove? To me it seems that you can score team points with the best of them. As assault I would take a guess that they are mostly flag cap and cap assist points. I would also guess that you were revived many times while on a flag by a medic who without, you wouldn't have capped as many flags. I am not trying to flame or be a ****. I just feel you argument is not holding water right now.

I don't team swap to the winning team. I didn't get revived at all during those rounds so the kdr isn't great.

Are you suggesting a top 3 finish is easier on the losing team?

The point is I'm making is that I'm not being pwned because I don't have my tank. The point I'm NOT making is that I'm UBER LEET ASSAULT.

The accusation is I'm anti IO because I can't compete, yet here I am finishing in the top 3 on a team thats getting pwned, holding my own (and some) with a kit I only use 7% of the time, my point IS proved.

Simply holding my own proves the accusations are false, get over it.

Re: Infantry only mode, worst idea ever.

I dont necessiarly think there needed to be a infantry mode... The problem with infantry compared to vehciles IMO is weapons are utterly useless half the time. The guns feet like bb guns or something worse. 4 shots to the chest with a sniper rifle and still live and 5 shots to the head with an ak47 and they still live, and wow a whole magazine with a pistol. And no I dont have horrible aim. Reason I wont buy BF2142 is because I KNOW the guns are going to be utterly useless and it will be the same vehicle hell BF2 is. BF2 is fun but the weapons taking ahundred hits to kill someone (ok im exaggerating... a little) just spoils the fun for me. They just needed to increase all guns damage by atleast 25 to 50% and make sniper rifles 1 shot kill from lower waist to head, not counting the limbs and add a breathing pattern to it. Its rediculous when Im 2 feet behind someone and I shoot them in the head with an M24 twice and they dont die. Horrible detection.

the detection is bad and I agree with your post except 1 hit kill snipers is crappy, AWP are bad enough and thats in a totally inclosed space on CS battlefield has huge levels to hide and never get stopped.

Re: Infantry only mode, worst idea ever.

take Day of Defeat for an example of the sniper rifle. You can land 1 shot kills with chest and head shot areas but you have breath patterns so you have to time your shots right. It wont be spammable like it is now with a non shaking crosshair. They could just make the 1 shot kill more tidied up like it will be a bit more picky where on the chest your shot and ofcourse anyhead blow is a instant death. Basically right now someone can stand still 10 seconds and survive 4 sniper shots to the chest or head. It makes sniping pretty useless. Snipers have to be stationary to snipe effectivly running around sniping would have great inaccuracy if the breath pattern was greater depending on ur prone crouch or standing position. Also you forget, commanders are the ultimate sniper pwner, you stay in one place too long your dead. And if all other weapons had increased damage, not 1 shot kills but if your a sniper running around trying to 1 shot kill at closer ranges your going to get pwned by a m4/m16/ak47 ect u get the idea.

Re: Infantry only mode, worst idea ever.

No Vehicles seems pretty choice if it were an entirely different game, but BF2 is one of the best ideas to come around being that it incorporates the use of life like aircraft imaging aerodynamics (still needs a bit of work but close = SCRAP THE J-10!!!), and those who don't mind getting killed with armored vehicles, shouldn't mind having their Armored Vehicles destroyed by overhead aircraft. Seems some pounders won't ever be completely happy until "ALL" vehicles are removed. So why did they buy the game in the first place? Just to ruin if for the rest of us who like more advanced combat games that are more life like? Hell, there are plenty of Combat Games out there that don't have aircraft, so wth is the problem? Oh! Dice pandoring to keep their customers for future games, but keep in mind, they also risk losing a major amount of sells for those of us fed up with this logic.

Why I don't like the split? There are way less servers for vehicle maps now, and splitting the game into two groups, causes over population, enabling vehicle whores (forced ground pounding, (wow, should have bought "Call of Duty") and TK's for vehicles than ever before. IMO, this new patch, just ruined it for most of many of us.

When a game is sold under the pretense, that there are defined specifics involved, but no guarantee it will stay that way, not to mention, the Heat Seaking Missiles/Aerodynamics constantly changing back n' forth with each patch, and only until patch 1.3 The U.S. F/A-18 was as inaccurate as the F-35, and still lags behind (turning/speed) the J-10 and is the only jet that has a chance against "ANY" of the Foreign MEC/PLA Jets.

All in All, DICE can't make up their minds, and continue to follow the band wagon of the dumbest combat tactics, compared to mid-evil days and those still using swords and catapults. Don't like advanced more life like games? Still enjoy the arcade style of old games? Then wtf did you buy it in the first place? Just to complain and whine about how you got bombed and killed in your armored vehicles so much? Ever hear of anti-aircraft G2A Missiles, or gain the skills needed to pilot effectivly? What? Too much info for your keyboard, mouse, and added Joy Sticks?

IO is great...major points for everyone.

The lowest I've ever seen is 5, from a...forgot the rank, it's 1 after private first class, who had just joined the game.

Just for your information the G2A is really god damn awful, tanks can be whores camping the spawns though is not really that big a problem for most people, and choppers can survive even anti tank rockets not to mention take AA out easily before they even get a shot off. All the while if they change any of these things you people scream at them, I dont even fly anymore because of how much I feel like a whore yet a slight nerf and BF2 turns to trash for you. So did you buy BF2 because you wanted the most skill less game you could find, you say we ruin it for you?

Avergae Leading score I see in a 120 ticket'd game is 70.. I'm usually hitting that mark. Bores the hell out of me walking some distances
What servers are playing for longer causing higher scores? e.g. 40 team points as assualt is crazy in a short round, the most team points I've got in a short round as medic (non IO) is 66 ... I got 112 that game, and closest guy to me was 54

Re: Infantry only mode, worst idea ever.

the best way to gain score is infantry only and 16 players and 64 maps...my average score is 150 points per round

Re: Infantry only mode, worst idea ever.

Don't play it alot, but I do like the change every once and awhile.

Re: Infantry only mode, worst idea ever.

I dont think it fits battlefield. BF has always been about vehicle and inf combat mixed together.

Drvies me crazy when I go on a ranked 16 player server and they had those stupid inf only rules. I guess this mode was in response to that... but thats not battlefield and having a ranked server that opperates different from the others is wrong. Even if you are paying for that server, its wrong because for the ranking system to be legit, you cant just pick and choose what weapons you want to use. This is the reason knife only ranked servers got das boot.

They got 'the boat?' Heh...I got the reference, but it makes no sense in this context.

I think the mode gives more options for a person to explore. And when you look at it that way, it fits the BF series pretty well because the vehicles also give you more options.

Re: Infantry only mode, worst idea ever.

I hate Infantry Only!!!!! I accidently ended up on and infantry only SF server and I am working on Engineer....whoopi....I was getting shot like a duck in a barrel....can you say purple heart!!! Yeah I could run faster and fix all of 2 commander assests the Sat Com, and UAV. Also there is too much room on these maps for infantry only!! If you look at CS:S maps they are tiny compared to SF or even most Vanilla BF2 maps. There should be a tagged added to Infantry only servers so people know not to log into them....this would also help them go away when no one plays on them!!!

Re: Infantry only mode, worst idea ever.

I have played it a lot,i think it is a fun alternative to the normal game....breaks it up a bit----try it.

[sluggo1]

Re: Infantry only mode, worst idea ever.

I actually like both formats. I like to fly choppers occasionally and armor now and then its all fun to me. If we are going to be honest here how can anybody that flies a jet make a statement about unbalance. A good jet pilot owns the game and there is nothing in BF2 yet to level that playing field. What is fair about a jet making a low level pass over the runway to rearm itself. It doesn't even need to land, off again to own the game. If ground ponders put up with you for the last few years you should at least leave them alone. Furthermore if your damn jets didn't ruin the game I don't think a few foot soldiers will. The pure truth is that the essence of battle is a soldier and his personal weapon. There is more satisfaction in taking a flag when the odds are against you and you make three or four kills and kill a few spawning back than all the jets, tanks and APC's in the game. Tonight I played infantry only and I finished the game with 68 kills all on the ground without the aid of one machine. I had to use skill to make every kill. How useless is most every kit in the game except anti-tank in a regular server. Its the only effective way to deal with armor. There is a difference between us though I don't begrudge you of your game if you like it fine. Both games can coexist and infantry only fans have as much right to there game as you do, there reasons are as valid as yours go fly your damn jet and leave them alone. You are the guy that thinks he knows what is best for everyone. Well you don't especially for those that want to play infantry only and your opinion carries no more weight than any one of them.

Re: Infantry only mode, worst idea ever.

Didnt bother looking at the last replies but after playing this mode with 1.4 patch all that i said was correct and argument breaker.

The people who play this mode play it to rack up points and kills.

Its the worst teamwork experience ive seen in the game by far.
