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

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

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.

Just like using a jet makes you a planewhore, or using a tank makes you a tankwhore. Me, I'm an equal opportunity-whore, I'll use whatever vehicle is handy or whatever kit is needed to contribute to victory for the team I'm on.

All of the kits, vehicles and aircraft are weapon systems put into this game to round out the appeal and make it more challenging and fun to play.

If you remove the vehicles/aircraft from the battlefield and isolate everything down to "infantry-only", you wind up with half a game for everyone concerned and the community as a whole loses out.

Alex, you really need to keep abreast of the changes occuring with the Beta testing. The second beta version is out now. DICE has restored the normal health and damage to the IO mode.

In closing, I do care about this game that I've come to enjoy playing so much. It really saddens me to see it basically being flushed by adding modes, content and exploitable features without all of the bugs being worked out and a final version of the game being released.

I like how he says he can counter vehicles better than you. How exactly does he know how you play, anyway?

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?

You already have it. It is called an airplane. :laugh:

You can have more powerful bombs. If I can have a way to keep you from rearming; I don't care what you have to start with, since I would keep your resupply point destroyed.

Who knows? Most of the post wasn't a logical, thoughtful explanation of why he/she views IO as a good thing for BF2. It was a post filled with adolescent posturing and childish name-calling.:laugh:

Hey [xXx]gh0st, aren't you the punk that TK'd me on Ghost Town, as I climbed a ladder.

Sheesh, advise given by a TKer.

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

i see alot of players worried that this new mode (IO) will take somthing away from normal bf2.

i dont think its really going to damage it the way some seem to think it will.

we have various players that like,SF,some like,EF,AF ect thats 3 differnt games that are not BF2 vanilla.

i no the expansions are more like bf2 vanilla than the IO mode,but the point im trying to make is,

a new game mode is not going to divide the whole community 50/50 with IO on one side and bf2+expansion on the other.

you have youre SF players (by that i mean exlusive) and same for EF and AF,

but thats a small count from normal bf2 servers(there are more vanilla servers than all the add-ons combined)

then there are a few scatterd citymap only servers + the few 24/7 servers.

IO will have its fan base of dedicated players for sure just like bf2 and expansions do.

but i doubt very mutch IO,SF,EF,AF will take the majority of the ranked servers,that will still be BF2 vanilla.

for the simple fact with out bf2 vanilla there is no expansions.

let those who are willing to enjoy the new game mode play it,for those that dont(just like some that hate AF,EF,SF)then they can stick to bf2 or whatever they prefer.

personaly i dont like some of the maps in bf2 +expansions but i wouldn't say remove them just beacuse i dont like them.

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

I'm tellin' ya. I already made huge posts in this thread, including the OP, it's not gonna work!

Hey [xXx]gh0st, aren't you the punk that TK'd me on Ghost Town, as I climbed a ladder.

Sheesh, advise given by a TKer.

I haven't played SF in almost 5 months, except 2 nights ago, briefly. I did kill someone climbing a ladder, but i would swear it was enemy. But the way I killed him I couldn't stop laughing, I shot a grenade and it hit him in the head (didnt explode), and it killed him. I suppose he had 1 bar of health perhaps and it was as if I threw a stone at his skull. lmao. If that wasn't you, then no, I didn't tk because I hardly tk as it is, unless you did something to piss me off, which I doubt cause I barely played that night.

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

I figured this was still interesting enough to talk about, but I'm not so sure if I even care anymore. After reading alot about what we really are getting with 1.4, I think I might just wait for QW or even COD3 is looking pretty nice.

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

First of all, I don't understand what all the fuss is about. Playing infantry only will be just as hard as player normal, just different. Medic whoring will in fact be limited because there are less kills. Last time I played the beta, the spawn times were really long, so it's not like an army of 16 medics will be able to keep storming one flag, and keep reviving themselves like crazy. A few die and not get revived, and it's all over soon.
What you moaning guys don't understand is that rounds will NOT last any longer, except maybe because there won't be as many respawn tickets used. The flag ticket rates are still the same, and not it'll probably take you even longer to get to that flag someone else captured, making your tickets drop even more than normal.
Second of all, what's the whole deal with the statpadding? I know for sure that a lot of people have statpadded in some way; some using medpacks/revives, some by clocking over 500 hours in armor, some by constantly playing assault (before the GL was nerfed), some by flaghopping with the BH.
However, I don't have any problem with that. I play this game because I like the competition IN A ROUND. Not globally. I never look at my stats and think: wow ... I pwnd em, I'm awesome. Unless you are already in the top 200, why do you even bother about your global score? In case you ARE in the top 200, go do something else, you've probably spent more than a healthy amount of time on this game.

If you do not like the IO mode, don't play it. If you can't stand playing without vehicles, that is the same as IO players not being able to stand playing WITH them.

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

the whole idea of infantry only goes against the essence of battlefield, it was a bad idea from the start. as long as the io gamemode doesnt get played in the same cycle as conquest, i wont have any objections. although i think i speak for the many when i say we would have much rather had ctf's.

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

Well guess what, you just discovered a new side of the essence of battlefield games. If everyone thought like that, every single sequel would be the same game with better graphics

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

I don´t understand why people don´t want IO mode.
Just don´t play it.

If there are people that do want to play maps only with inantary let them!

Almost everyone says he/she doesn´t care abaut stats...so why worry that someone else will be playing this version of bf2?

Are you afraid that the servers playing vannila will be deserted? If so then there is a lot more people that prefer the infantary mode of bf2 than the vehicle version, so don´t try to impose your will.

I really think that people will still play both vertions. And I will only comment the balance of I/O mode after playing it and not before.

wrong, every sequal would be the same game in a new setting. take 1942 and vietnam for example. anyhow, that wasnt the point, the point is that i would have much perfered a new gamemode like ctf than simply removing vehicles and changeing soldier attributes.

Have you even played BF1942/Vietnam?

If you have, I think you would undertand what you just said made no sense at all, whatsoever.

The "essence" worked fine back then, and it works fine now. Why change it?

Don't you realize that as far as a first person shooter; BF2 is like running around with rollerskates on. The FPS side of it is clunky and mediocre at best.

If you want to play a real FPS, I would suggest games more fit for it's genuine playstyle like Counterstrike and Call of Duty. Those actually feel and play like a solid FPS.

BF2 does not, however, and well, I think it's because the maps are huge and we have vehicles, but if you take those vehicles out, what do you have?

A sub-par first person shooter. Why would you want that?

i have to say, your taste in fps are kinda arcadey. day of defeat/dod:s are much better ww2 shooters than any version of call of duty ever was. and counter-strike, man thats the most stale unskilled game out there. im not gonna suggest tom clansy games as a replacement because they are ultra realistic (more than realistic, which is bad) but cs rots your skills man, stop playing it!
