I agree that this is the quickest way to destroy an otherwise exciting game. I read the posts before and everyone complained about the nade/clay spam but you can't imagine it until you die every four or five steps. I was actually killed 9 times before I spawned in a place that didn't have a claymore waiting for me. One thing that was nice about it was that once I got to a grassy hillside, I got 10 or so kills in a row before having to relocate. I can't see how anyone would find that sort of chaos entertaining. What made it worse was the fact that they had set the player ratios to 500. It went on forever! :dead:

Re: I finally played IO.
I never play I.O with more than 30 players.
Small games have no nade/clay spamming and more teamwork.Comment

Re: I finally played IO.
I hate when people cry about how IO is "SOOOO Bad".
If you don't like playing it, then don't.
Or learn how to play IOs instand of whining about them.Comment

Re: I finally played IO.
I was totally against IO when I first heard of it being added to BF2, but having played it since I don't find it all that bad (definitely seems to depend on the server, seeing as how I have read countless other threads similar to this one regarding nightmare spawn situations and gernade spam, etc)
All in all, my IO experiences have been relatively good, but I much prefer vehicle-enabled servers and continue to hold the opinion that BF2 was meant to be played with them.Comment

Re: I finally played IO.
I'll play IO on occasion, but it's nothing spectacular. Sure there are problems, but I see that on normal servers too. I mostly play infantry unless I can grab a tank or transport or APC.
Anyway, I prefer vehicles as well. And saying that players need to adapt to IO is a laugh and a half. Sorry, Eye_of_God, but it's extremely easy to play medic or support and kill everything in sight. IO doesn't take more skill than BF2. It's a different mode with less threats. It's easier.
I don't want to argue that, but it's pretty obvious. The only threats in IO are other soldiers. It's way more difficult to try and defend or recap a flag when there is a tank sitting there and you are assault or medic or support. Thing is, it's not hard to play BF2 the normal way either. Not adapting to that is lame. Not a slam, but just a comment that generalizes things like every friggin post here.Comment

Re: I finally played IO.
I don't care for IO , i bought this game cause it has vehicles you can drive/fly, if i wanted to run on foot every where i would play a different game like CS or SoF2. (SoF2 before it was ruined by RD)
The only thing good about IO is the rounds can last long time so if you need a medal or badge its easier to get in it.Comment

Re: I finally played IO.
Some of you are crazy...
IO is fun and I rarely get nade spammed. Just know where the grenades will be.
And my clan server is pretty fun cause we aint nade spammers...Comment

Re: I finally played IO.
:yay:
IO FTW :P
Anyways, I play IO for 80% of my time and I find it great. I prefer the 16/32 size maps though... I do agree 64 get's very confusing. Dave to say the least I think IO is just as hard as with vehicles. It's easy to hide from a tank... How do you hide from another infantry when he see's you?

Sweet Omnipotent Gods, why did you allow another one of these troll-bait threads to be created!?Comment

Re: I finally played IO.
My guess is you didn't really read my entire post. I did learn how to play IO and did rather well. The problem was the lack of etiquette shown by the other players. It's one thing to be in an uncap killing people as they spawn but to leave a claymore next to a spawn point is just cowardice stat padding.Originally posted by Eye_of_god View PostComment
