Re: what the hell is wrong people!

Before I/O I was so annoyed with tanks on 'city' maps because all they did was spawn camp and kill inf. players ignoring enemy tanks. In pubs it was hard because hardly anyone would go AT, and you couldn't shoot tanks down on your own with AT because they have magical supply boxes that fix them and a few APCs around, so it was impossible to shoot them down almost by yourself.

I really wanted I/O on city maps. I/O would be GREAT with team work, but it's the players that make it so sht. All they seem to do is spam nades, just yesteday I tried some I/O again on Kark. Good thing my side of the team was good and we capped other flags, but when we were MEC, USMC side couldn't get to any other flags, all they did was nade spam. It was boring as hell.


I/O on 'city' maps could be great (with buggies added ofcourse) but stupid nade spamming game-play ruins it.

I tired of dying of random artillery, random nades, camping armor at my spawn, and went and played some I/O. Now I'm back to the full featured game because I got tired of the endless nade wars, and roving bands of medics and supply guys. I/O gave me a new appreciation for the normal game, and I'm back to playing that now.

Re: what the hell is wrong people!

Nothing is wrong with people, it just comes down to personal preference.

I like to play both I/O and 'base raping jet mode'. :p

It just depends what I feel like doing, generally I usually just end up playing on Mashtuur because it's my favorite map.

Is there something wrong with meh? Maybe I need a BF2 counseler.

Re: what the hell is wrong people!

if you can't spell, use punctuation correctly, or you are just going to complain about something you can easily avoid, DON'T POST

Re: what the hell is wrong people!

Yes because Karkand is the only map on BF2.

Re: what the hell is wrong people!

Forums should have built-in spell checking with the ability to permanently delete any message with more than three or four mistakes: online message boards used to be legible... now it's just f*cking atrocious. I'm extremely annoyed that people can't be bothered to polish their posts, or at the very least, make an earnest attempt to write correctly using paragraphs (walls of text are not cool). We're too accepting of prose and mistakes.

Re: what the hell is wrong people!

Ppl got tired of armor on both sides AVOIDING each other

For example: Karkand

The mec tank, & APC's go to the east of the hotel, & "camp out" the US uncap spawn

The US tanks, & APC's "camp out" the alley ways west of the hotel

They will even defend this tactic saying they are reducing the other teams tickets, & brag about their k/d ratio

Your average jet pilot will go after other jets first, & your average chopper pilot will go after other choppers first, but your average tank driver just wants to "gay out" infantry

So, to answer your question, 9 yr. old "1337" destined to be gay tankers drove the push for IO

The game is not "better" w/ out tanks, the game is "better" w/ out 9 yr. old "1337" tankers that avoid contact w/ enemy armored vehicles, & do not provide support for their infantry team m8's

IMVHO

It's a shame because I <3 tanks, but I will never miss the arty

Totally agree, I have to admit Im an armor whore, but anyone thats ever played with me will tell ya I dont back away from enemy armor, I dont care if Im in an APC and he's in a tank, Im goin at him balls out.....never know, he may have a tank thats half dead and a few hits from an APC will kill it totally.
I really hate when I come up on a friendly tank just sitting there in the way because hes afraid to go into battle, it happens on Wake ALOT when the North Base is the last MEC flag, most people are afraid to drive right to the flag because at that point most of the MEC are AT, theyd rather sit inthe middle of the road rapin the spawn points, I dont know how many times I was able to drive right in, get a ton of kills and get the flag neutralized.

Re: what the hell is wrong people!

Every mode of BF has its issues, with vehicles the infantry get owned... iam personally sick of hitting a tank with 4 AT rockets and not making a dent...or rolling up the road in a tank only to get bombed by plane from behind.... or my favorite, a helo circling the final flag pwning every living grunt. Thats not fun.
But without vehicles theres the smacktards and a$$hats that nade spam and claymore whore. Iam quick to forgive a player via friendly fire if its my fault or an accident, but those nade/claymore whores are cheap/no skill/cowards with a $hithouse accurancy %.
Either mode has its good points and its bad, as one person here said, "If you dont like it, dont play it" And thats what Iam doing, IO for me with a touch of POE 2 for mature gameplay when the a$$hats drive me away from Vanilla BF.
The games meant to be "FUN", not aggravation.

Thanks mate, the day I saw it I fell out of my chair laughing.... I think it should follow the EA/Dice logo at the begining of BF2 intro.

Re: what the hell is wrong people!

IO is more balanced then with vehicles. This is the main reason I play it. What drove me away from vehicle servers was plenty. No counter to jets. So I played city maps only. But AT rockets are a joke against tanks and choppers, I have hit a tank and APC in the rear with a mounted TOW only to have them spin and kill me then drive off. I have seen APC's and tanks drive over landmines (up to three) and not blow up.( the mines did but not them) Infantry stands no chance against vehicles in any situation. I understand they should be tough. But a single infantry should be able to take out a tank with a shot from a TOW in the rear. Playing infantry is not very fun on vehicle maps. Yea a good squad of grunts can take out tanks and APC's. But then all that hard work is wiped out with on enemy arty strike. No sir IO for me. I love the mad globs of people crashing into each other. Great firefights. Go ahead and say it is a nade spamming sniper fest. While this can happen.(at least I can kill the guy throwing the nades, try killing a guy throwing bombs every minute.) So can crazy firefights where you can come out the other side with four or five single pump kills. Not to mention when a front line is established. I have seen it take five minutes to advance the line twenty meters.

Bull. If a TOW doesn't take out a tank/APC then you're not aiming for a weak point. It's not a guaranteed single shot kill, you have to aim for the tracks of the tank or the back/wheels of an APC. I hold my own just fine against a tank, alone, as an AT guy. It's all about firing, finding cover and moving to a different firing point, rinse and repeat. I stand a solid chance against armour, and most of the time I win out by thinking tactically.

To say infantry stands no chance against all vehicles is totally ridiculous.

Also, could everyone stop whining about ineffective AA? It works just fine for me, you just have to learn how to use it and when to fire at the right time when you have a lock on to ensure a hit. Speaking as a ground pounder I have no complaints about jets bar the J10 inbalance.

As for mines not killing tanks, I have no idea what you're talking about.

BF2 is a game with many layers and different ways of going about things, lots of vocations to pick up on. Just because you can't kill a tank by bunnyhoping in front of it with a noob tube doesn't mean there's any imbalance there, it just means you haven't mastered how to take down armour on foot. I say learn how to deal with all threats in the game rather than abandon them all for some watered down Infantry Only.

IO can be fun as something a bit different but I'd never consider it a viable alternative to BF2 warts n' all.

Re: what the hell is wrong people!

I don't know about the rest of you but I only play I/O because my comp can't handle all the vehicle whoring.
