new game mode

[a_hamburger]

i dont know if this has been suggested yet, but how about a no-grenade mode? i mean, on no vehicles, its horrible(especially on Karkand) and a no-claymore mode too. just GUNS, like war is supposed to be. or ammo bags and supply crates cant give u more grenades. post feedback.

Re: new game mode

imo in infantry only that should be a permanant mode...


But not exactly like that.


Give each person 1 grenade to start with, and it takes 1 supply bag to re-supply 1 more grenade.

That way there will still be grenades, but they will only be for what they are meant for... That makes it so you can't just spam them. Grenades aren't supposed to be the main weapon, and in inf only maps, it's pretty depressing actually how devolved this "first-person-shooter" has gotten over the past couple months.


INF. ONLY mode should be called FPGT.... first-person-grenade-thrower/tosser..






In BF2C there is a map called "Course of the river"... I think it is also played in CAL. In this map, you start with 1 grenade, and your capacity is 1. To get more grenades, you need 2 ammo packs to get ONE grenade.

It is perfectly balanced. If you play that map, you will notice it's about 80% guns 20% grenades.. pretty good mix. If you go into the middle flag's radius, you will most likely get grenaded. You won't be grenaded as an offensive weapon.

Re: new game mode

Instead of no grenades, it be better (in my opinion) if you could only throw a number of grenades in a time frame. What I'm seeing from your solution is that people would stop playing and only throw supply bags on the ground. There could still be nade spamming because all the nade spammers would go in there alleyway full of supply bags and keep doing it. :\

Well that's fine... they can throw their supply bags... but that makes them easy to kill.

They would be trying to hurry up and throw down 2 supply bags, pick them up, and then get to their grenades, meanwhile you are shooting them.

This way there are no more "karkand snipers" if you know what I mean.. No more rushing bases and throwing all of your grenades.. no more spamming 3 grenades at people... etc.


INF only won't sound like this: http://media.putfile.com/The-sweet-s...-infantry-only any more..

Re: new game mode

ijust GUNS, like war is supposed to be.

So your saying war is just guns? No jets, ships, tanks, jeeps, helos, or apc's.

Re: new game mode

I don't find grenades that annoying but what about if they tied the use of them in with your accuracy with them e.g If you have 20% accuracy with them, 80% of the time you would fumble it and drop it at your own feet. Ok, so these numbers don't work but you get my drift. Would be quite amusing and would hurt the spammers while those that were good with them would maintain an advantage with them.

Re: new game mode

u know what i mean. more guns than grenades. mabey it should also be that u cant get grenades from ammo packs. i mean, im not seeing and grenades in that little leather pouch!

Re: new game mode

I think that you shouldnt be able to throw grenades while you are jumping. People hide behind things, jump up, and throw it down the tight little road and you get killed.

Re: new game mode

speaking of new game modes, i want capture the flag, would it be so hard for EA to add that in? No it wouldnt, they just dont give a flying ****.

Re: new game mode

I honestly think there are only a few maps that would really work as CTF. As they are either not suitable, too small or too roundish. Its a good idea in theory, but requires different maps. Of Vanilla maps I could see DV, Fushe Pass, Kubra Dam, OCS, Strike at Karkand work, but no others.

ctf would be great for some maps, like songhua stalemate (bring that back from the dead) but my point was we need some new game mode other than conquest or a surge of new FREE community dev'd maps or ea dev'd maps.

Re: new game mode

I think infantry only has ruined BF2. The majority of servers I see are I/O. If I wanted to play an infantry game with no vehicles, I'd play counter-strike. The maps are too big for I/O. It should be restricted to 16-player size maps. Not to mention the fact that BF2 doesn't handle infantry combat well. And I/O just becomes a sniper/medic fest.
