And yes, there will be alot of point whoring and medics, but i think it wouldnt be significant compared to the awesome infantry assaults on flags, people shooting up the coast with boats, and squads working as a group to flank people.

        Atleast thats the things i experienced in the 1.4 BETA2 infantry only server. If only there were more than 32 players..:p
        While I agree with you in principle, in practice it's much different. The people waiting for the jets on vehicle servers now will be replaced by the point whoring lonewolf medics in IO. It's the same animal but in a different habitat. Your ideal scenario, with people flanking other people, assaulting flags as a team, etc. is all available in BF2 as it is right now, if you get the right mix of people in the server. And therein lies the caveat - you must get the right mix of people. If you assume that people will be more cohesive and really draw out the team aspect of this game simply because there won't be any jets or tanks I sure hope you can handle disappointment. In that ideal scenario you described if you were to take people that normally play that way and put them in a server with jets and tanks, they would still play that way, because that depends on the player and not the game mode. The people you're describing, who wait in line for tanks and jets and/or TK anyone that gets to them first, are not team players. They are not interested in winning, or helping out their team, they are interested in points. Much like all the lonewolf medics you're liable to see in IO.

        IO will be a different mode, but with the same players. IO cannot make people play as a team and it won't change the mentality of the people you dislike, nor will it make them go away, it'll just make point whoring easier for the, well, point whores.

          Vehicles aren't a big deal in my opinion. The main issue I have is the stupid artillery. That should be completely removed from the game. IMO

            TO all the posters who said "the vehicles are what make bf2 unique" you are correct....which is why you can STILL PLAY THE SERVERS THAT ARNT IO! IF you get board and just wanna run around play the IO servers. NOThing is differnt form the game. You just have another game mode to play if you get board with tankes kicking your *** all the time.

            IO is a wonderful idea. It will attract palyers that dotn want to drive stuff around. But yet the players who stilll ove to drive stuff an still play the other servers.

            Its not a big deal guys. Layoff.

              And yea i agree with Shiyan, artillery should be gone from all modes.

                Its not the health, Its decreasing the damage of nades and such. And i dunno if its confirmed or not.

                    It's odd that players who don't want to drive stuff around would buy BF2 in the first place, hence my earlier comment. Especially since the FPS/infantry aspect of BF2 leaves a lot to be desired.

                      I want the IO. Maps like Kark and other city maps, tanks whores ruin the game! On city maps I want to have a nice Inf. game with tactics but no tanwhores race to get to the hotel ASAP, enemy tanks on the right side shooting anyone tht leaves the base, our tanks on the left side. Going AT alone does jack **** to tanks especially when they are engines/and have supplie boxes around them... the rest are snipers, medics, support...

                      BS! Bring IO on!...

                        Fix'd.

                        Karkand will be such a cluster**** without vehicles (yes, even moreso than it is already). No vehicles = no sneaking to the back bases. It really doesn't take many MECs to cover the few side roads and the train tracks against infantry, and since the back flags are normally inaccessible without screaming by in a Humvee or APC (preferably APC since normal gunfire cannot take it out), there won't be anything but a giant slaughterhouse near the hotel. Die, get revived, die, get revived, die, get revived... 32 people per team repeating this nonsense ad nauseum. If that's your idea of a good time gaming, then more power to you. :p

                            I dont really care about io, armor or anything because bf2142 demo is coming and bf2 will be empty. A lot of servers will move to bf2142.

                            bf2 is almost dead.

                              BF2142 WILL most likly not last long within 6 months it will probably be like SF where there are only 100 ranked servers. the thing that will probably kill bf2 is the mods like PoE2,FH2,USI,Dcon,ETC

                              2142 is just a mod that dose not require bf2 and costs 50$. PoE2,FH2,USI, and Dcon will be FREE.

                              BTW my avatar is a screen shot from PoE2 here are some more.

                                Actually, this game mode has effected the way everyone is able to play BF2. Why are we still waiting for the 1.4 Patch? Oh yeah, because they're making some new game mode. What do you think is more important to all BF2 players, being able to play the game without Vehicles, or being able to play the game without CTD's/Server Crashes? That's what I thought
