So this is IO..(infantry only)

Re: So this is IO..(infantry only)

there is a game called CSS. all infantry all the time. enjoy

Man I'm getting so sick of people making the Counter-strike reference to people who want to play Battlefield without the vehicle whorage. There is a night and day difference between playing CS:S and playing something like a Battlefield game without vehicles.

CS:S is by in large a team deathmatch game with dynamite. BF games are conquest style with classes which require more in the way of teamwork.

I'm getting the impression that there is quite a demand for a vehicle-less class based FPS. Maybe thats going to be Team Fortress 2, we can but cross our fingers.

Re: So this is IO..(infantry only)

I play inft only in TWL matchs, and pretty much all it is a nade spam/medic spam..

But for the people who say useing vehicle's take no skill, all you need to do is play as SpecOp/Engi/AT.. maybe you dont have the skill..

I disagree. Its easy to whore in a vehicle, I do it myself. All you have to do is fire from afar, nullifying engies and specops as they cant get close enough. AT class is still a threat but all you have to do is reverse, hop out, repair, get back in, and repeat.

And don't even start me on jets. Choppers at least you can hit even if you're support or in a VOD.

Re: So this is IO..(infantry only)

What you saw was a poor man's version of IO, not the real deal. Unfortunately, there are some over ambitious admins running around thinking they can set things up just right. Wait until Tuesday to form your opinions.

Re: So this is IO..(infantry only)

I think alot of the IO supporters want nade spamming dealt with as well, thats why theres posts like "make supply bags only replenish 1 nade" and stuff like that. Personally I dont think nades should be replenishable, once you use them they are gone and you have to rely on your gun, and the number should be lowered as well.

Even on non IO all people seem to do is nade spam, hey someones taking our flag lets just throw gernades in! And everyone wants claymore dealth with.

Agreed

I got in a Tank last night on a public server for the first time in over 6 months. I got 15 kills in a short amount of time then ended up getting pwned by enemy tank. Far to easy and not very satisfying. And every time I got a kill I had regret. I don't think I could live with myself If I became and amour whore. I can hardly believe out of my 352hrs in the game 5 have been in amour.

The only real grenade spammin issues i have seen have been on karkand. Every round begins with almost every single mother****er on there chucking grenades like theres no tomorrow. Its like some sort of ritual frenzy that has to be completed before normal fighting can begin. I tend to refrain myself as i find it a most boring way to get a kill. It would be nice if they could resolve the problem painlessly, but i dont see how they could do it.

At the end of the day you can try to tell an idiot not to throw grenades, but 9 times out of ten he'll keep on doing it.

Re: So this is IO..(infantry only)

I love IO. Man them Vehicle whores piss me off so bad

So you're using the 1.4 beta test then, good effort.

Roger that.

If you dont like IO, we've heard it all before, so dont waste your breath.

Obviously another beta tester.

Dude, people already spam nades and claymores like crazy in City Maps. With IO now we wont have to worry about amour.

Yes why of course what a great solution to the problem, lets make it WORSE. Really, you guys brains are in your ar$e.

I can't believe DICE are going through this IO charade when you point whoring prone spammers are still only going to play Karkand anyway. Why doesn't 1.4 just remove the vehicles from Karkand?

IMO Removing amour will not make nade spam much worse.

True, its not so bad on 32plr karkand servers though. But I tend to keep off them because amour becomes more of an issue.

It would be good if they did something about the nades / claywhores but since this is the last patch. I don't think it is possible.

Re: So this is IO..(infantry only)

Ok Im the OP and have read some of the replys and just wanna respond a lilttle to them.
First I too am a majority ground pounded, most of my play time is on the ground and I too have said things like "tanks/planes/helis suck etc.."

But after today Ive grown to see there importance on certain maps.

Like the fact I cant wrap my head around what was so fun about 2 teams consisting of 70% medics, 20% Support, and 10% Snipers all throwing bags and explosives at each other in a 100 yard square area. Lack of armor push allowed the MEC to just crowd the hill, so Nades were present at every sector of the 2 uncaps, every alley and street was filled with claymores, along with the non stop blasting of nades at every turn. No one pushed, no one moved, everyone sat in one small area killing eacvh other with explosives and revivng one another.

I expected BF2 as the exact same but with the lack of camping tanks or me runnin scared from them. But it seemed to be the worse parts of the infantry aspect of Bf2 magnified to an extreme. No one cared about cover, no one used a gun, it was just people hopping around throwing explosives at one another till the tickets expired.

IO seems very fun and has potential, but I was hoping this meant "infantry smalls arms fire" not throwing explosives at one another or littlering the map with them. Id rather take on a tank thats down one street then deal with every street littered with insta death explosions and revives setting you up for repeatedly being insta killed.

Oh and the comment about it being funny how I said I fear BFROE, my stats matter to only 2 people..me and my brother..we compete with one another..so if I got reset he'd rub that crap in.

Re: So this is IO..(infantry only)

Isn't it wierd that so many ppl say how good IO is, yet there is never anyone on the 1.4 beta servers?

When and how did you all develop this experienced critique of IO mode?
You're all so obsessed with point whoring that you can't even give 1.3 up for a couple of weeks to play this GREAT new IO mode.

If it's so fuxxing good why aren't you all playing 1.4 beta, why are the servers empty?

IMO Removing amour will not make nade spam much worse.

This comment is already proven to be untrue, please try to keep up.
