IO Mode = Nade Fest

[GSG9xSNIPER]

IO would be a great mode if it didn't have nades. Becuase of the nades we have alot of medics constant reviving people who die from nades.

IO mode should have NO NADES.

I vote no claymores, no pistols, no weapons, just people sprinting into one another!

Re: IO Mode = Nade Fest

IO mode shouldn't exist period. I agree about the grenades though.

Snipers. spec-ops and medics should get 1 grenade. Assault should get 2 and support should get 3. On top of that you shouldn't be able to resupply grenades with anything but a supply crate.

Grenade spamming is really horrible (especially on Karkand) and it's so easy and yet can yield such incredible results. I often run right at someone attacking them with my rifle and they start throwing nades at their feet. I mean.. WTF?

Amen! ...to a point.

If unarmed transportation vehicles were still in play I wouldn't mind IO mode. It's a healthy way to get away from the "Death from Above" feeling that bothers most BF2 players, while at the same time allowing pilots/drivers/whatever to have their thrills on regular servers.

The way it's currently implemented though? Nah'. That's a "BIG" no no.

nade spammers suck. Lots of them on the new map.

Re: IO Mode = Nade Fest

I've been playing it all day and my K/D ratio has been unreal. I usually only play medic on normal games but IO Jalalabad sniping is like a new heaven for stat padding and getting your kill rate up like crazy.

agreed, it goes against what battlefield is about.

Snipers. spec-ops and medics should get 1 grenade. Assault should get 2 and support should get 3. On top of that you shouldn't be able to resupply grenades with anything but a supply crate.

imo that is too drastic a measure, i think everyone should get two greandes except assault which gets 5 (or 5 gl rounds), i think grenades should just rearm very slowly.

Hey....lets just keep changing the game forever.

Re: IO Mode = Nade Fest

wtf do you people want? To just like walk up to the hotel flag and have it handed to you? Or do you want a game in which you kill people and no one kills you? OMG i got naded, well don't walk through the bottleneck then, find a new way. This is a war game, there are nades in wars, hence nades in a war game. If you don't like IO and dont want to be naded go play on a vehicle server and quit bitching about it here. Jesus Christ, thats why theres an option, if you can't cut it playing IO and find yourself only being blown to hell by nades, go back to your precious tanks and planes and leave those of us who enjoy IO the hell alone. I've never seen a gaming community so hell bent on complaining like a bunch of little bitches about every god damn thing. To some players out there, IO saved this game. I can armor whore it with the best of them, but it gets old. Heres something new that they've given us to keep the game interesting and you're just ungrateful...grow up.

No one is forcing any of you to play this game...if its so horrible, go find something else to entertain yourselves with.

Re: IO Mode = Nade Fest

If you don't like to get blown up by grenades (count me in that category), then don't go to grenade bottlenecks.

Everytime I play a map like Jalalabad or Karkand, it astounds me the number of people who just run up to the major grenading areas and get blown into the air. And that's not just once, but again and again and again, like mindless sheep.

Honestly, grenade spamming annoys me no more than jet-whoring, attack chopper-whoring, and tank-whoring. It's just a part of what BF2 is, so learn to adapt, improvise, and overcome, instead of beating a dead horse all the time.

Re: IO Mode = Nade Fest

Go away with your faulty ideas leave it as it is whiner! It's a fricking game-mode play it or don't play it. If you want to convince people on no nades in IO you should've made a poll you didn't so go away. All those strange ideas people come up..

Re: IO Mode = Nade Fest

Lmao whiners, if you don't like IO don't play it.

Re: IO Mode = Nade Fest

wtf do you people want?

I want a game where instead of fighting enemies who chuck grenades at their feet in a last ditch attempt for an easy kill plus a suicide I get to fight enemies who actually use their rifles. I want to be on a flag capturing it and instead of being forced to do the "nade dance" I have to engage my opponents rifle to rifle in a test of actual skill. Unfortunately for most Battlefield 2 players (24/7 Karkand whores especially) pointing your rifle at your enemy is too hard and it's much easier to toss a couple nades at your feet and kill everything in a 20 foot radius.. including yourself.

Re: IO Mode = Nade Fest

From my experience, IO is a sniper's fest.
To be efficient with hand grenades, you have to be relatively close to your opponent. Not so with a sniper's rifle.
All I can say about it is that IO is a nice relax time after a stressful round with vehicles.
When I'm bored with it, I go back to hard mode game.
So no, I don't want IO to be removed. :p

Re: IO Mode = Nade Fest

So people on vanilla BF2 dont use grenades????

Thats right the 2 people who get armor, dont have to use there weapons, they can hide in a tank.

Its a seperate game mode, and you know what that means, dont like it, dont play it

People have complained forever about no other game modes, and no you have one, and you still complain
