Infantry Only or Vehicle Lite

[Donkey]

Well as much dicussion has been had regarding IO mode...I'm thinking that it isnt bad but it might be implemented poorly...

So lets have a vote and see....

IO current

or this as posted around many a times

Instead of this implementation what if we had a 'vehicle-lite' version like this:

* Replace Tanks/APC spawns with Heavy Jeeps
* Replace AA Vehicle spawns with Light Jeep
* Remove Jets
* Replace Attack Helicopters with Transport Helicopters (i.e. USMC carrier would have 3 Blackhawks)
* In AF replace Littlebirds with Transport Helicopters (some have suggested replacing Attack Helicopters with Littlebirds, but as we know Littlebirds own in the sky vs. infantry)

As is it allows for more Concentration on team and squad work. Only thing jeeps would do is to help get to somewhere faster. I think this No Veichle option would be a good experience.

You have to be in a team to fire your gun?????

how does this make it more team oriented????

Re: Infantry Only or Vehicle Lite

If there are no veichles why would you wander off by yourself trying to cap a flag? I would think that this means that you would want to stay with your team/squad and cap the flag as a group. A lot of times people who take veichles have only themselves in it and go to the flag furthest away from the action and try to cap each flag like that. This is why in my opinion Infantry Only mode is a good idea.

Have you ever played any other FPS that had no vehicles???? It doesnt promote teamwork... You will have people running around just trying to get the highest kills possible....You will have the same players you have now in BF2 just they wont have a vehicle...Making a new game mode is not going to change the behavior of BF2 players...

Re: Infantry Only or Vehicle Lite

I'd like the damage and stamina to stay the way it is in the normal mode.

you do realise that some maps are 64 player?
Going with vehicle lite not only are you appealing to all BF2 players, differentiating from Counterstrike, making the play fast and intense, giving relevance to AT, engineer and special forces, but you are encouraging MORE teamwork by squads transporting together.
There is no balance issues with light vehicles, they can be easily defeated and are still powerful enough to used as effective tools
Saying no to this is ridiculous with all due respect
To fight fire with fire, if you don't like transports don't use them :p

Are you just trying to start a flame????

Seriously man this is a discussion board about BF2, I am having a discussion about BF2...

back on topic...

I really think the VL version would be best suited and would have no problems what so ever with it...

I would also find it cool if they could create this on a map specific setting on the servers....What I am trying to say is so you could have a 32 player map this way then the same map in rotation with all vehicles...You know so you could mix it up more....

Re: Infantry Only or Vehicle Lite

I never said I didn't like transports but I think it would be better without them. We'll just have to wait and see...

Re: Infantry Only or Vehicle Lite

Light vehicles would make for a better game. Some of the maps are to large to accomadate IO. It takes a long time to walk/sprint across a map. So instead of a transport chopper then need to add a Duece and a half to transport people across the map. Its not fast, no guns and your AT and Engineer kits could still have a purpose. Even in ground combat, there have always been some type of light transport like a jeep and a transport carrier. Just an idea.

I am interested to see how the IO plays out. I like the concept, as I am a ground pounder, but I hate having to walk a long ways. There are times that a light vehicle really helps out. I guess I fall in the minority, as I like to load up the light transports and use them the way they where intended. A squad moving across a map in light transports, wow what a concept.

Right on...Nothing is more badass then showin up with a posse and everyone bailing out taking up positions laying down the fire...like IRL

Re: Infantry Only or Vehicle Lite

With no vehicles, maps like Zatar, Dragon Valley, Kubra, etc. will be completely useless. Who wants to walk for 15 minutes to cap a flag?
Have you ever walked the length of Wake, or Kubra? It's no walk in the park. (Press W and hit J or K or L - auto walk).

All IO is for, are the urban players who can't handle tanks and apcs. Or the people afraid of air attacks.

I voted VL, obvoiusly.
