this sounds good

Re: this sounds good

I would assume IO means FAVs would still be around, although I don't know how they did it in BF2. I think it'd be really interesting to have a Camp G where PAC starts out at harbor. On the other hand, it could just mean that there is a stalemate forever because EU will all be spawning at Toll Roads (which means you'll have a heck of a time getting to the back bases).

Berlin would be a great map to have without vehicle. And on Cerbere, although the walker doesn't really bug me, that map works fine without vehicles. Tunis would work as well. Ultimately, I don't think it'd change much in the game except maybe on Camp G and Berlin (Berlin I feel would be a whole different map without vehicles).

Re: this sounds good

IO camp G should have harbour as PAC,

The only way PAC can get harbour without using vehicles is to get loads of guys onto the roofs and just camp the crap out of it until a PAC squad makes it to the flag.

Especially with no pod surfing IO would be a lot harder and less fun.

The only IO map that would work imo is Berlin. The rest all need vehicles to make them at the very least fun/challenging/dont-want-to-walk-miles-to-only-get-shot

Haven't played in months, but if 1.50 is all it's cracked out to be I may come back.

Re: this sounds good

Update 1.50 will be released for public beta towards the end of April and is there to get your feedback as well as run checks on server stability. All being well, we will release Update 1.50 at the beginning of May

ermm... Hello

Re: this sounds good

personally i'm looking forward to infantry only. has anyone out there played verdun on 16 player conquest? it's straight up urban warfare. hand to hand combat. i've always wanted that map w/o vehicles & hope it's one of the "chosen ones". tunis harbor would be another good one, as both sides have uncaps & is pretty symmetrical in it's design. i'll just miss running over ungodly amounts of soldiers:laugh::laugh:

Re: this sounds good

Sounds sweet =) I've always wanted Infy only

Re: this sounds good

It's kinda the end of April in Central Europe at the moment. The Master Server seems to be down. Could it actually be?

Re: this sounds good

regardless of what they do as long as I get a wake island map for 2142. Killin under a palm tree. SUWEEEEEETTTT!!!

Re: this sounds good

Yeah I always go for central camp. Jump in a FAV - pick up some passengers if they're not stood around scratching their ***. Fly through Toll and through the gate then straight down past the abandoned mini van. This has the benefit of covering your trail from the EU and also means it's less likely that they will nick the FAV. Run up the steps and hide behind the boxes and before you can say 'bob's ur uncle' cc belongs to PAC

Re: this sounds good

central camp is the easiest flag to get with the FAVs on crowded servers. the toll station's flag is out in open and still has some engies hanging out and commander might be chilling there too, but the central camp is the least guarded and whoever that has to hunt you down has to come up the stairs usually which gives you the upper hand. the ruins is okay but its further and if you try to drive the FAV up to the dragon's teeth, you might very well meet the EU walker and get pwned. if you take the FAV ASAP when the round starts, assuming the engies still haven't finished setting up mines, you can reach central camp in a flash and avoid facing the EU walker. central camp should be the goal with the FAVs in most cases because it totally messes up EU's defense strategy. they have to split up and don't know whether to cover ruins or toll station. it also means the EU will back off harbor to fight for other flags, giving the PAC harbor eventually.

Very successful tactic. this has helped us PAC win many matches.

Re: this sounds good

New maps - awesome
Infantry only - not so awesome...I have a feeling that a majority of the servers will switch to this option, especially for small conquest maps like cerbere and camp G, which would change the gameplay. As for FoB infantry-only, I'll admit that I like it there - personally the armor there, especially the APC, seemed a bit overpowered for the clustering of infantry at Crossroads...APC could just sit back and lob mortars the whole round and get 20+ kills. FoB infantry-only will be fun. But I disagree with cerbere and camp G infantry-only - FAVs are a core part of the map, removing it would suck.

We're just waiting to see which maps will be IO. Chances are we'll run one IO server and the rest will be regular conquest.

Re: this sounds good

what they mostly need is some brains, ive seen plenty of times where the pac just took their walker with the 2 favs on front throuh the flag when they all get slaughtered by mines etc. ive only seen once where the walker distracted every eu soldier by going for the first flag and both favs fully loaded went to the 3rd flag which is the hardest to get when populated hehe i was stunned when i saw that, the eu lost the round within 10 minutes instead of that they win after 45 minutes.

Re: this sounds good

Camp G IO will need some balancing. The PAC need the armour to break out effectively. Maybe The first flag outta the base starts neutral.
