I/O with Cars Only?

Re: I/O with Cars Only?

Perhaps instead of I/O or Standard mode as the only two options, they could add a control option server side (a slider bar for each of the vehicle classes) that would allow a mix of I/O w/ light vehicles allowed.. or transport choppers only, or a combination of both, etc. and leave it up to the server owner(s) as to how to configure their games.

I agree, I/O as it is, makes the AT and Engineer class pointless for the most part.

Anyway, EA is done patching this game.

There's nothing wrong with the .50 cals. Sure it's a powerful weapon, but one anti-tank round or AT mine will kill the jeep, making engy and AT more useful than current IO.

Re: I/O with Cars Only?

Well, with vehicles -- It emphasizes as need for a few Anti-Tank guys to take out enemy vehicles -- But really, the vehicles should really just be used for transportation, not as a weapon. Often times during I/O games -- alot of players struggle to get to the other side of the map when another team is capturing it -- I think having cars would make the game move a bit faster and make it even more fun :P

Re: I/O with Cars Only?

I don't know. One of my favourite past times is jumping in a DPV on full 64 player Jalabad server and ploughing it through the MEC hoards. You can rack up quite a kill count. IO games tend to have everyone following each other like sheep. One guy in a DPV, or anycar, would take out half the team in one run.

Well, that what I would do in IO servers with vehicles since the infantry combat is woeful.

requested them to do it?

I assume it'd be possible by changing map files a bit, but DICE just put out 1.50 for 2142, looks like it's going to be no more patches for either games.

But yes, transports only would be great, jeeps and transport choppers only.

Seriously, I love playing I/O games of BF2 -- but I can't help but think how much more fun it'd be if we only got cars/jeeps and no tanks, planes, attack helis, etc.

Not only would BF2 be more fun to play -- But it would also give a purpose to playing as an Anti-Tank or Engineer -- Whereas in just plain I/O, the two classes are almost next to useless (well, unless you're playing them just for kicks).

Has DICE completely given up on BF2 or would it actually be possible to add this mode in if we.. umm... (I know it's a long shot) requested them to do this along with some other fixes as their last BF2 patch ever perhaps?

Who's with me?... Anyone? :P
