I did a search and didn't find any direct mention of these points here so I thought I'd post this as it was only posted a couple of hours ago on the EA UK website. I saw some references in the thread on the 1.4 patch which is why I went looking but if this contains old news please feel free to delete it mods:

Thought I would stop by to provide some information on the no vehicles play mode.

Hi Guys,
Please review the no vehicle option details below. Hopefully this helps people understand and enjoy this feature a bit more.

No vehicles – We removed vehicles to change up the manner in which the game it played. This places more focus on how players strategize their movements and also reinforces player skill (i.e. accuracy, etc).

Damage decrease – Prolonged gunfights that allow players to make decisions under fire.

Commander without Artillery or Vehicles

Longer spawn time – The long respawn also creates an incentive to change up the manner in which the game is played. There is a greater consequence on death. We also saw the need to slow the pace of the game down somewhat in order to increase the intensity.

Longer Revive Time – This helps to compensate for the long spawn time. With 30 seconds of revive time, there is a greater chance to be revived. This is also beneficial since there is a greater need to revive players. The extra time also allows for medics to give some thought as to when to revive a player. Medics can allow dangers to pass then revive a player rather than being required to rush into danger.

Reduce health pack replenish – This is a rebalance of the medic class to prevent exploits created by the reduction in damage.

RIBs & Parachutes left in game – Some maps require water transport or parachutes to work.

TOW missile left in place

-Colin Clarke

Erm, slowing the pace of the game increases intensity??? Is this some definition of the words 'increase' and 'intensity' I wasn't previously aware of?

I thought it was bad enough when I heard that the sniper rifles no longer killed with a single shot to the head but noooo EA had to screw with the dynamics a bit too much didn't they?

It probably wont be ranked, and longer respawn times plus increased HP will just make it annoying and it will all be about who gets the fucking lucky headshots now.

You'll see more snipers w/M95 since everyone would want an instant headshot kill, i'm sure claymores will still instantly kill and they even have grenades.

So, why exactly do we need the TOW batteries? Oh yeah, because now they're one of the only things that can actually kill. GG EA/DICE.

This sounds so dumb. If ppl want no vehicles play 16 player SF maps, they have nearly nothing but infantry.

I'm wondering how heal points will work. Do you still have to heal 100% of health or has that been scaled down?

to run 2 version copy & paste your bf2 install folder somewhere else & add 1.3 to the end or something.
then install beta 1.4.then make another copy of the game .exe shortcut thats on your desktop & right click the copied .exe,click properties & & where it says TARGET at the top insert in the box next to it the destination you saved the copy of your bf2 install folder,so it'd read something like

c:\where u saved the copy of install folder to\BF2.exe" +menu 1 +fullscreen 1

click apply/close.then rename that .copied exe to 1.3bf2.exe or whatever u want.
you'll now have 2 desktop shortcuts,1 named bf2.exe (for 1.4 beta version),& the renamed.exe (for 1.3)
you'll now have 2 fully working version of bf2.

to change back to having 1 version again on your pc just delete the new shortcut .exe & the install folder in program files thats patched to 1.4.then rename the copy of the install folder you moved somewhere else back to battlefield 2,then bung it back in program files.

no kidding. people who complain or whine that they want infantry only should play SF. thats why i play it alot. i love infantry battles and SF is perfect for that. most maps have only 1 tank and 1 apc on both sides. but with grapple hooks, anti tanks can kill armor real fast from top of buildings. i really hope this infantry only mod is for unranked and not ranked. and if it is for ranked servers hopefully it stays in regular servers and not SF.

What about op. clean sweep? HWAHHA swim for u live!!! (they should not block the boats).

BTW if boats and transport heli's are the only thing that are allowed with that inf. mode that would be nice for op. clean sweep. It will make that map a better place.

You guys know EA added Inf only to try to make it look like not too bad of a fuck up. EA knows they were gonna make this inf mod only for unranked. EA knows no one plays unranked.

I think that mode isn't going to be popular, I rather stick on servers with GOOD admins that keep the rounds infantry-only than that mode...

Also making it purely unranked just failed that mode completely.

it looked like a good idea when i saw it but the i saw ''it takes about 20 bullets to kill someone and headshots are almost useless'' what was wrong with the damage and stuff i more hate the lag thing where you shoot someone to the head but only a puff of dust will appear and he kills you(also applies to knife )

they made this to do away with inf only servers (its against ROE)

same thing when they took out the IAR req for knife...to remove K/P servers.

and have any of you played it yet? maybe you should try it out before you bitch about it
