Calling all I/O players!!!

[Nicfurious29]

I absolutely love Infanrty Only mode for BF2.

It was recently announced that patch 1.50 will be bringing I/O to BF2142 and I definitely plan on purchasing the game because of this.

I was just wondering if any other BF2 infantry men decided to give 2142 a try because of the addition of I/O?

Well, I dont really like I/O gameplay because I hate running. So if its a big map I usually look for an other server (exept if its Kharkand). But its fun because it makes every soldier equal, so its not like you running around a corner and seeing a tank gun firing in your face, if you know what I mean...

IO on 2142 = Broken

The way the maps are designed on 2142 one team is always the 'attacker' and has to always bundle through a small choke point, without vehicles its near impossible.

Camp G and cerebre landing for example

Then you have all the other 2142 maps which involve you trekking for 5 mins on foot to get anywhere. Dont get me started on shubisiaiaiaitibaiaiiabababa



2142 Is completely different to BF2, there are no short distant maps like karkand/jalalabad/masthur which can be walked comfortably.

EDIT: DICE seem to have hinted that only certain maps will get IO so dont expect a BF2 IO everything mode.

EDIT: possibly verdun and belgrade would be nice as IO maybe not berlin though, since belgrade and verdun are both semi urban but not choke-point-y, few transports and favs would improve them on IO though.

Re: Calling all I/O players!!!

I agree, but like you said, on some maps it's good.

And in te 1.5 beta Inf only is not a server option, but a map option.
Normally you can have either a titan or conquest map, but a server can change between that (ie 1 titan, 1 conquest, 1 titan etc)
If it is this way some servers (including ours) will switch some maps to IO while the other maps remain with vehicles.

(I like IO in Bf2 btw, in Sharqi and Mashtuur)

Re: Calling all I/O players!!!

Even in BF2's I/O mode there is still the occasional boat or jet ski. I'm sure they'll leave an FAV or 2 in the maps, just so they don't get stagnant, but I'm sure you'll still have people whining about going across the map to cap the back flag... :shakehead:

Re: Calling all I/O players!!!

Fall of Berlin is the only map that needs IO. The walkers are fine, but the APC rockets are way too overpowered for that choked-up of a map.

Re: Calling all I/O players!!!

IO is awesomesauce on BF2..not really sure if it would tempt me back to BF2142

Great, straying even farther from what Battlefield is supposed to be!

Re: Calling all I/O players!!!

I didn't really find the layout of 2142 that exciting, the way you ranked up was screwed, if you played everyday for a week say 3-4 hours a day, and you had any kind of skill, you could be a general already, and once their is no more opportunity for advancement what keeps pulling you back to the game? And I agree that I/O screws games up. All the good sniping maps are gone now because no one wants to walk around them, examples Kubra Dam, Songhua, Zatar Wetlands. All you can ever find these days is Karkand, You are lucky to find a jalalabad server.

Re: Calling all I/O players!!!

The only reason i would even touch 2142 is because im curious to see what wake 2142 looks like, other than that its bf2. Im tempted to ask what would convince me to withdraw my avatar.

Yeah, it is meant to be fun, and IO is fun.

:yay:

Re: Calling all I/O players!!!

I think it's good news, because there were already tons of I/O servers in 2142 that kicked the players that used the walkers (mainly on Camp G)

I don't really think much will change, there will still be vehicle maps imo, Sidi ftw!

Have you actually played 2142? Not saying that you haven't, but surprisingly many 2142 haters haven't even tried the demo, I've noticed.
