Re: [xXx]gh0st's view on Infantry Only (IO)

Its not like they are balancing the vehicles properly, until they do infantry only is the only way to play some of the whoring maps. Im sorry but relying on my teams aircraft is just not good enough for me. :hmm:

I cant wait to play wake island again.

Re: [xXx]gh0st's view on Infantry Only (IO)

Basically what I've read so far is that the infantrywhores do not want any competition or challenge to their whoring ways. So, they want to take a game that WE ALL bought and change it around to suit THEIR STYLE of playing. They can't be bothered with learning combined-arms tactics either offensively or defensively. They can't learn or practice intelligent, cooperative, team-based strategies. They just want to run around and shoot other people like in CS, UT, et al. Oh, but they also want to amass points that they couldn't normally get playing in the original BF2 game because they couldn't be bothered with learning to counter vehicular threats.

BS. - they ADD a new mode. not change the vanilla bf2.


play some IO to see that it is also fun. and you know what? because you run much more in IO mode, the scores, you are all woried about, are not greater than these in normal vanilla. while in armour i score en average 60-70 pts on full 64 server [only combat points, i dont bother with teamwork :) in tank]. i played many rounds of IO on 32 [there were none 64 available] and havent scored higher than 80 yet. maybe im not the l33test out there, but that scores gave me gold stars. and yes, medics are the most played kit, but to the less extent than i thought it'll be. snipers [there are always some] and support.
i like IO simply because it FORCES players to team up. one player is a dead player. and btw - wake in IO mode is much more fun than karkand in IO mode.. not to mention jalalabad, what a hell of a map [16p - 32p is impossible for usmc to win in IO]

Re: [xXx]gh0st's view on Infantry Only (IO)

well.. so mec team was full of idiots.
all times i played it, usmc never managed to cap a flag. few mec snipers near the lake spawn point, all others in the outpost. and you do what to cap the flag? im talking about io mode

now then your team is a full of idots because a nice balanced squad like 1 aussalt who can use the nade laucher 1 support and 2 medics

is just on of the powerfull squads around then because as squad you have long/mid/close ranges

or make a full squad of medics

[sidtherat]

Re: [xXx]gh0st's view on Infantry Only (IO)

well, problem is, mec can also make such balanced squads. usmc is screwed period, with commander spotting lone dots, and full squads you cant sneak, you cant beat them head on. remember - mec has the same classes, and squads as you, but they dont need to run 100m in the open with grenades and claymores everywhere..

Re: [xXx]gh0st's view on Infantry Only (IO)

ill see how it goes , i tried IO before and its fun idd and no idiot numbers of medics to be seen tbh . A lot more teamwork i saw actually , people running their asses off to defend/retake . Was mostly impressed .

Re: [xXx]gh0st's view on Infantry Only (IO)

I and some other public people had a full round shoqu stalemate.

I was squadleader and those folks listen to me to wich direction.
so every time we fighted with a full group of 6 man agaisnt others.

just great ^^

Re: [xXx]gh0st's view on Infantry Only (IO)

Im sorry but that idea would not work at all. You get the noobies waiting on the carrier and so you would crush them.... People would wait for you and m95 you out the cockpit.... you would be a sitting duck for enemy aircraft..... if a second aircraft went in to land there would be a chance he would crash into you as you sat on the runway...... vodniks, buggies would crash into you so.... the best way is the way it is right now..

OK; a minute on the ground is too long, so make it 10 or 15 sec. The point is the plane should have to LAND in order to get more bombs or missiles and make it more life-like. All your examples of how you could die could indeed happen; so it looks like it might actually take some skill and planning in order to be a pilot instead of just flying around dropping an endless supply of bombs on anything that moves. You will need folks to help protect you while you sit there. Wow teamwork what a concept. The people that get killed by standing in the way will eventually learn to move and could help keep the enemy off your back.

If they won't make the planes land to be rearmed; then at least give me something at the airport that I can blow up that will end the planes ability to be rearmed with bombs. It could be repairable by the engineers; just like the arty, radar, and UAV trailer.

Most folks I know that want an IO game aren't concerned about armor; but they sure are tired of the planes bombing anything and everything with their endless supply of bombs.

Re: [xXx]gh0st's view on Infantry Only (IO)

This is not and never will be a "Completely realistic" game. It's an Arcade shooter.
They will never have the planes land to rearm. Stop dreaming.

IMO although I like the aircraft in BF2 I think they never should have had the jets have both A2A and bombing capability. That by itself makes the aircraft overpowered. There should have been separate bomber aircraft and the "fighters" should only deal with aircraft and maybe soft ground targets with the guns.

give me something at the airport that I can blow up that will end the planes ability to be rearmed with bombs.

Now here at least you're using your head. I actually like this idea alot.

This is not possible in the code. Have you noticed the way a supply box works? You get supplies all around it, if you enter a certain area. It’s the same thing with the airfields, if you enter that area (even in the air). A workaround would be to increase the delay between entering the area and actually getting supplies, so aircrafts would need to pass more then once to be full. But this would add the same delay for the usual supply box,which is not what we want.

If they won't make the planes land to be rearmed; then at least give me something at the airport that I can blow up that will end the planes ability to be rearmed with bombs. It could be repairable by the engineers; just like the arty, radar, and UAV trailer.

This is a nice idea, but I don’t know if they could add it, without ruining other things. It’s more then simply patching the game.

Re: [xXx]gh0st's view on Infantry Only (IO)

Itsazvo, I dont mind it at all. But Ive got some ideas how to butcher Infantry aspect of the game far more effectively than you can imagine.

If jets have to land, how about more powerful bombs then? More powerful cannons?! More speed?

[archanos]

Re: [xXx]gh0st's view on Infantry Only (IO)

wow all this ranting about the IO the admins might as well make this a sticky

[Batausu]

Re: [xXx]gh0st's view on Infantry Only (IO)

Nukes, maybe?
That would be fun! Only one or two per round and per team.
And put in a requirement, like capturing an enemy nuke silo or something…

LOL INFANTRYWHORES. So now using a gun is whoring infantry eh? I can counter vehicles just fine, better than you. I simply dont like them. You have no idea how much your team needs to work together in an infantry match. Theres no cars, so you cant let anyone run past you to your back flag, because you cant chase them in a car. Its a whole different style of play. Why do you even care? Its not like you will be forced to play it. The only complaint I have about this infantry mode is they changed all the health and weapons and stuff, so you cant actually use it as infantry practice because the guns are different in the real game. And shut your face about changing the game for the 'infantrywhores' playstyle. You stupid noobs have had the game nerfed from day one will every single competitive player against it, so dont tell me about changes you dont want.
