Anyone miss vehicles only?

[barz26]

I remember when i first played BF2, Karkand was still the map of choice but vehicles made it seem more of a game, more teamwork was required, squads of AT just to take out 1 tank and an APC. Having to use a bit more savvy to escape getting thumped by people who loaded into game faster and took the jets, heli's. Seemed to me to be a better and more all rounded game. I/O wasn't an option.

One of my flatmates started after I/O began, he's brilliant at I/O but shocking at vehicles. Also because he pretty much plays I/O theres so many badges, medals and game play that he won't experience.

Here's my question, who thinks BF2 was more of a game or enjoyed it more before I/O (stat padding seems a lot easier I/O in my opinion)

Over to you

theres more team work required in io, vehicles like the j10 can change the tides of any round with a near experienced pilot.

There's more medic teamwork it seems. In vehicles i've seen squads of AT own a map, 2 APC's and a tank all engineer rolling down towards the enemy, working as part of a team, Spec forces working as a team to take ALL the assets out. I just think that people that play I/O all the time are missing out on a huuuge part of the gameplay

You're playing the wrong io servers, not all or medic whore fests. I like vehicles more but when I'm looking for teamwork I usually end up in an IO server. Vehicle servers get really retarded with the tk/force tk crap.

LOL, think it's just me and you mate having this convo. Yeh it can be annoying spawning on the airfield/carrier to be met with 5 other players with M95's waiting for a plane/Heli. You just know whats going to happen if you get in the vehicle first!!!

Thats so not true...

Re: Anyone miss vehicles only?

I think i can pretty much sum up most I/O game in one sentence.

Spawn, run, spam, you killed you killed you were killed by...you're good to go...you were killed by....youre good to go....spam you killed you were killed by...MEDIC!!!!Spawn repeat

Thats so not true...

Then you don't play BF2...

Go join a wake, kark, oman server, experienced pilots on one team and a handful of pubbers on the other..

come back and attempt to make a fool of yourself again if you feel like.

When one team has one or two good squads who are capping flags, a good pilot wouldnt really help that much now would he? Yes he can take care of armor but thats pretty much it. In the end his team would run out of tickets

Re: Anyone miss vehicles only?

the team can't cap **** no matter how much team work with a competent soloer or chopper crew in the air, same goes for jets/bombers.

Re: Anyone miss vehicles only?

All the more reason to get good with heli's and jets yourself (dont mean you meant players in general). I think if the odds are stacked against you then it forces you to become a better player

Re: Anyone miss vehicles only?

thats always the case but when it comes down to it, if you're on the ground with that in the air, you're cannon fodder.

[barz26]

Re: Anyone miss vehicles only?

works both ways

If there's a couple of good flyers on the other team, dont get in a vehicle, dont hang around, when you take a flag to neutral run like buggery and get another one, make sure you have a commander etc etc

Re: Anyone miss vehicles only?

yea but this is very uncommon in pubs to have teams even like that. Meaning most of the time, it leaves it up to who has the more experienced pilots/tankers.
