Things that you love and hate in IO.

Re: Things that you love and hate in IO.

I like having the option of IO.

Balances things out.

As for the grenade spamming at the start of Karkand....has anyone thought of not running forward when MEC and hiding behind the building with the burning car??

Run forward...die by grenade....revive or respawn....run forward.....die by grenade...die or respawn....run forward.....die by grenade...type "STOP GRENADE SPAMMING!!".............

Clays can be a bit annoying, never thought i'd say that!!

Re: Things that you love and hate in IO.

The whole nade spamming thing is easy, just don't move from your spawn. I've noticed the junction in the alleyway in Karkand is where most nades seem to land.

Why is it you always see the nades and claymores that kill you?

Re: Things that you love and hate in IO.

I like: squads tending to stick together on larger maps, on good servers.

I dislike: the excessive use of snipers/medics/support kits. Nade spamming.

only hate that theres always people that refuse to act as a squad

Re: Things that you love and hate in IO.

I love I/O, I always die so often on vehicle/airmap servers.

I/O Cons:
1.Grenade Spammers
2,.Dolphin Divers/Bunny Hoppers
3.TOO MANY DAMN MEDICS! SWEET JEEBUS ON A BIKE, KARKAND IS THE DEFINITION OF HEAVEN TO G36E WHORES!
4. Pretty much it...I would say there's too many snipers, but there's too many of those in general, I/O or not.

Everything else 'tis good in the hood, yo.

Re: Things that you love and hate in IO.

IO Jahalalbad is to die for as a MEC sniper....like shooting fish in a barrel sometimes. And almost as much fun as a USMC sniper.

I've mostly seen better teamwork on IO maps. But what gets my goat is nade spamming, bunnyhopping and just plain poor tatics (i.e. lets all swarm one flag).

godforbid that happens in a game that flag capping can make all the difference between a win or lose

attacking jsut one flag is usually poor tactics when your whole team isnt helping out, but really the best plan of attack on most maps is to flank the enemy flags from multipul directions so the enemy cant focus on one direction. though it's already hard enough to try and get people orginized who are not in a clan.

Re: Things that you love and hate in IO.

Never liked IO. More often than not it's lame, cause there are 1 or 2 hotspots where everybody goes crazy. Only think that I like is not spawning next to a tank or apc. IO also means city maps only which I don't like. Ever played IO Jalalabad? It's just stupid.

IO is just too much for some people, unless they got 3 inches of steel armour under their arse they dont want to fight, *****'s !

That argument probably works both ways. In my expierence people seem to act even more stupid on IO. They don't have to worry about vehicles just run to the most crowded part of the map and try to get as many points as possible as quickley as possible not careing about winning the map. I can understand how many people love that style of play though.

Re: Things that you love and hate in IO.

What I like about IO: Nothing.

What I don't like about IO: Everything.

Pretty much what I think.

IO ruins Battlefield, and the day it comes to 2142, is the day I give up all hope for Dice/Battlefield. All those vehicles that you people ***** about, thats what these games are about. Infantry, tanks, planes, helicopters. If you cant stand being killed by jets and tanks, go play Counter-Strike.

so last flag left in the game, everyone should just sit on their hands while 3 or 5 guys struggle to take it down while battling 20-30 enemies?

Re: Things that you love and hate in IO.

what i like : not much

what i dislike: Alot.
90% of the maps are useless in this mode, 90% of your team is the same class, 90% of the time no one goes anywere (i.e. Karkand becomes a war at the uncap as does Jalala)
Like it was said before..its a bastard version of CS. Bf2 was not meant to be played like this, which sucks cause almost all servers are IO now.
Worse example of how bad it can get...TsC server..FF everything and IO..
Basically people throwing nades with no fear of Tking, people detonatinmg c4 at there feet for kills, clays everywere...all out idiot play.

[ZekersSneakers]

Re: Things that you love and hate in IO.

If they nurfed the nades to 2 each & 1 claymore for snipers & 3 med/ammo packs respectivley it would be utopia ....almost.

I hope you aren't serious, one grenade in this game as it is now is too much.

1 grenade, 2 packs, 1 claymore, 2 packs req for a nade refill, nade damage dropped dramastically (direct hit should take you to 1 bar) = fixed.

Re: Things that you love and hate in IO.

Like:
-People learn to play (not all though, some are noobs whatever you do)
-Lots of teamplay
-Harder gameplay than usual
-No noobs in tanks/vehicles (Many maps are spoiled because powerful vehicles are disposed by dumb players)


Dislike
-People who can't play
-Not enough 16p maps
-Some maps just don't work IO, people still play the though

Ranked IO is not so great, there are a few clan servers with high skill limit which are absolutely awesome public servers. Everyone knows what to do and you really can count on peoples skill and knowing to do the best thing. Good thing in ranked IO mode is that people finally (hopefully) learn to play. The ones I don't like are those who for example in these forums complain about clays, nades and almost everything. These are the one's who'll never master any fps game, no matter how long they play.

Players who learn the game through IO mode aren't even playing Battlefield
