Re: IO Mode = Nade Fest

nade spammers have no more skill then a 4 year old with only 1 hand.

Re: IO Mode = Nade Fest

You guys need to play on the =R= Infantry only server. It is well-admined, and flags are a main priority. Tons of people have and use VOIP. I've been in some pretty heated fights on sharqi where we backed the US up to the TV station. Hell, sometimes on that server I wish I was revived more. I often get ran passed by 3 different medics, it's not nearly a nade spam medic fest.

Re: IO Mode = Nade Fest

i thik the only reason ppl nade spam is because the opposition allows this 'tactic' (if you want to call it that) to be effective...

if people would spawn on the left USMC uncap spawn point, then everyone would be able to pass on by to suburb and square...but everyone spawns on the right and throws nades immediately upon respawning....

basically if either team wasnt mindless predictable drone nubtards, grenade spammin woulde be useless.....its the noob tactic/mentality for everyone to stand in the same predictable place, and throw grenades at the same predicatable place....

grenades are no match for my knife

Ppl are never satisfied about others' work.

Re: IO Mode = Nade Fest

If they want to fix the nade thing, all they have to do is require FF to be on. If FF was on in IO I for one wouldn't spam nades (not that I'm the worst offender there is). As it is everybody just runs around throwing nades at their feet since it doesn't hurt them.

Re: IO Mode = Nade Fest

There are no helos on karkand

even the use of zatar is the same difference, so 20 people get the armor/helo/plane and 44 get IO

Since the helos will be used solo

the jets carpet bomb the ground troops, since they get the ESP light up button that tells them a vehicle or ground position is ocuppied, and tracks the movement for them, they rarely fight each other

the helos keep destroying the tanks, by hovering near the spawn

so, yeah 44 plus people get to be IO


So yes, some people, have a different game mode ( although it is still conquest, we know), others go there and get owned, or really cant play it well, because the have no real ground skill, since they live in a plane/armor, and then come here and whine about IO being "easy" mode

Meh, first it's 2 people, now you'll admit 20 get vehicles on some maps. Now what about the squads and spec ops using the transport helo? That's another 2 to 12 in vehicles. Subtract 2 commanders from 64 players and now there's 24 to 34 players not playing IO.

How many of that 24 to 34 are in AA, TOW, gunning on tanks, passengers in other vehicles or driving a DPV or FAV themselves. I'd guess usually about half. Now we've got 12 to 17 players on a 64 player server who are playing IO. Subtract 4 to 6 sniper noobs that always just snipe regardless of what map is playing and now there's only 6 to 13 playing IO on a 'non' IO map.

How many of that remaining 6 to 13 are engineers or AT laying ambush, and don't want to drive anyway is anybody's guess. Also it's a jet map, there'll usually be another 2 hopeful pilots waiting for a jet. We're down to what ?2? to ?7? players who might forcibly be playing what is in effect IO mode on a non IO map. Lets not even mention the fact there's usually around 4 minimum AFK players on a 64 player server in any given round.

Your example is one eyed and biased, when you posted it you knew it applied to the minority, not the majority of maps. Goodbye credibility!

Re: IO Mode = Nade Fest

I've played a bit of IO on both Karkand and Jal and I found it a bit dull without tanks and trucks... kinda don't see the point.

One the nade front I haven't had any trouble because I don't fun at the bottlenecks, dolphin-nading-suiciders annoy me.
