1.5 = I/O nade spam

[74javelin]

we run a 64 man I/O server that is full most of the time. nades where getting bad with 1.41. but now with 1.5 everyone is nade spamming like crazy. i can go rounds without being killed by a gun. most of my kills are from shooting people that are throwing nades at me. I/O just isn't fun for me anymore, i'm not into nade and claymore spamming.

my guess is since people can't go prone anymore they just throw nades the hole round.

anyone else notice this?

Too bad DICE has been too damn stubborn and continues to refuse to change this problem, despite most people wanting it fixed. Baza says that IO isn't for 64 player servers as his excuse, and that against the consensus, absolutely nothing will be done to even alleviate nade spam. There are so many simple fixes for that. I honestly don't think the programmers have ever played a few rounds on an IO 64 man server...

It's always been like that, IO=Grenade Only, not Infantry Only.

Yeah, nothing has really changed with 1.5, it was nadey before. You just have to learn to play smarter. Adapt to win.

Spamming nades on Great wall is fun, with all the idiots who camp the walls and towers, just stand right alongside the wall and they never even see you :wee:

Re: 1.5 = I/O nade spam

on the other hand, it sure feels good to kill prone divers.

but yeah IO has always been nade spamfest for me.

It would be good if admins were allowed to disable up to two weapons of their choice on a server I think.

Most of the time it would be nades and clays I suppose.

Re: 1.5 = I/O nade spam

One of the reasons why I always found IO detestable

but then again I never was a fan of 64 player servers

Imagine infantry only without grenades, it would actually be pretty cool. Assault would be worth playing for the tube!

Re: 1.5 = I/O nade spam

If people weren't complaining about grenades, it would be UGL's, if it wasn't UGL's, then some "n00b" gun. I mean, people will always complain unless they are winning. It's human nature.

Re: 1.5 = I/O nade spam

tbh its true that the whole problem could be alleviated with some tweaking, nade resupply recharge time, less nades for certain classes etc etc

but it really isn't enjoyable when the game becomes a strange version of pacman where you must avoid all the weird round things

bang bang bang bang

I've noticed a lot more bunny hopping, prone spamming and grenade throwing, yes.

But then again, I've never liked the idea of infantry only in a battlefield game.

Re: 1.5 = I/O nade spam

i do pretty good and i'm use to all the nades. but it seems like since the patch people that use to use there guns are now just spamming nades.

i see it as the guys that weren't that good would go to nade spamming. but i see good players spamming now too.

we are having back to back rounds where neither team can get a flag because of all the nades.

i still go prone and have no problem killing that way. but looks like a lot of people quit using there guns because of the patch.
