I want to play both game modes. I like playing other kits besides anti-tank but it's kinda hard to play assault or support when there's always armor around.

Up to half those kills could have been in the tank without getting the tank highest rating. Also that is a crap score on 64 player server. So they arent that fair.
I played with him, he was grounpounding all the round and used a tank as a transport, and if u think 140 points are bad look at your fucking stats u peice of shit. His 1 round is as colse to your BR on karkand.
And sam... Chill :p
yeah thats coz i dont play 64 player servers, thus i cant dont work up my BR. The BR i have is from a 32 player server, and just so you know a good score on 64 player karkand is more around the 200 mark.

Seeing as you have both been playing more than 4x more than me, and only have KDR just over mine and if you compare my time to KDR i get 0.01 per hour played, in 40 more hours my KDR is gunna be above yours. Thats just with infantry which i note u dont even do much of. So before you try to go looking all good check your own stats, I dont even claim to be good but trust me neither are you.

Oh shut the fuck up all of you! This was a poll about infantry servers ranked status, and now it's a flame war about individual skill!

God damn you people! Damn you to hell!

Yes it should be ranked, because the people that own the game and servers have already decided that it is, so not only is this poll answered it servers no purpose. But maybe that's why the thread went to shit, as all the others here do.

At the end of the day.it's going to happen.Posting things on here changes absolutely fuck all.Argue all you want because infantry only servers are going to exist.

Stop arguing,they will be ranked,and whats more there will be a few of these servers.

Maybe not as many as normal BF2 servers,but enough to keep the infantry happy.

No it isnt... rounds last less time, there are less people alive at any one time...   You are confusing 64 player maps with less than 64 players with maps that arent 64 player.

You still on about how 14X is a bad score for a 64 player map??

well thats just bullshit. a full 64 player karkand map takes about 8-12 minutes and the gold medal will get about 80 most of the time (somtimes as low as 60), Sometimes (about 5% of the time) someone will break the 100 points barrier. Yes with less people on the server scores can be increased up to the 200ish mark, but only when there less the 25 on the server and if you take a very careful look at the pictures again you will see that there is at least 21 people per team. making his score of 140 very good considering the next best was sub 100.

And back on topic: (well sort of anyway). Who is going to play infantry only dragon valley, kubra dam, zatar wetlands, fu she pass and operation clean sweep?? It would take you 10 minutes just to get from 1 side of the map to the other. So no one will do it. Im sure everyone will find most inf only maps will be reduced to the 3 city maps, kark, sharqi and mashtuur. Where there is very little in the way of vehicles anyway (no planes, 1 Attack heli, 3 tanks and 3 apcs at most per team for all maps combined)

Your Infantry Stats: "Averages 08:29:27 105 142 0.74 21.49%"
Yeah, BF2 is the first game I ever played online, I "love" to get killed by vehicles and I never said that I was very good as Infantry. The only thing I wanted to say is that having Infantry only as a ranked mode will make the stats somehow worthless, because you can not compare the circumstances of a battle without vehicles to a battle which is dominated by them. The master of infantry play may be owned very bad in a vehicle battle.
I would say nothing against a Infantry Only mode with seperated stats.
Right. I think Infantry Only servers shouldn't be ranked. You're just not playing the same game as regular BF2 when you don't have the vehicles, and to rank them on the same criteria undermines the stats system. I'll be playing on Infantry Only servers because I like to groundpound and I've always thought the game was the most fun during intense ground-level firefights, but it wouldn't bother me if those points didn't count.

If being a real BF player means I have to enjoy someone talentless always beating me on the ground just because he has a J10, I don't think I want to be a real BF player.
Hey,then quit BF2.
It doesn't matter if the guy in a jet has talent or not,when you are in the wrong spot at the wrong time you are dead as dead can be and no 1337 AK-47 skillz can save you!!!

If your ego can't handle the fact that you die once in a while from jets or helis BF2 is in fact the wrong game for you.
Either take a jet yourself(if it doesn't take much skill you should have no problems to shoot the "talentless" down) or change to a game where you can kill the whole army with your handgun(CS:S,DoD,etc,etc,fuckin' etc.).

The infantry only option is ok as long as it is unranked,otherwise every other bastardized "game mode" of BF2 like K&P or "Admins get the jets" would be legitimate too.

If you want infantry only fights play it,do whatever you like  - but nobody needs and wants a RANKED infantry only mode except for all the pussies who can't adapt against things you can't kill(which is what makes BF2 better than your average CS-clon.).

If EA makes the infantry only option ranked they are pissing off every player who kept playing infantry with all the vehicles around and still could get good stats.

Why again does the way one player plays have any effect on the way other players feel about their gaming experience?

I don't see how it effects you if people play on infantry only servers.  If you don't like them, don't play on them.  Are you a big jet/helicopter guy?

If ANYTHING, normal maps should be unranked.

This is the only TRUE fairness in the game, as how is sitting in a tank all the time being completely invincible to 4/7 kits on a city map fair?


Although you would have more intense fights and have abit more fun and nothing to worry about and be any kit you want tobe, and not having to switch to AT just to take out a bloody tank.

But I cant be arsed now, when I really wanted it I liked doing that, but now I need vehicle badges so I wont be able to apriciate it as much.

And really I think all they should do with it is take out armor and helicopters on city maps, leave the rest of the maps how they are, and keep transport.

Some people jerk off to their stats and they fear that they don't get an errection anymore.

If you want fair stats, please take out every J-10 kill because they take the least skill, every armor spawnrape kill on karkand, every claymore kill on karkand, every MI-28 kill on sharqi, every Su-34 kill on Oman a.s.o.

And now dear Ohhnooo-the-stats-!!!-inf-only-is-not-allowed-to-be-ranked-guys give us a break and keep your brainfarts to yourself.

I ask myself why all players who complain about the Infantry Only option got lousy stats with infantry kdrs lower then 1,5 and got a lot of vehicle kills......

For 3453th time, the issue isn't Infantry Only, it's ranked Infantry Only. At least in this particular thread.
If you quote - quote complete and don't remove the sentence about the stats.
Ok I edited the post to include your complete post although I can't see how that changes anything. My point is that issue about whether Infantry Mode should be ranked or not is different from the issue about whether it should exist at all. I have nothing against the existance of Infantry Mode just like I don't mind COOP, but neither of them should be ranked.
You guys can only complain about stats and this even shows in your style of playing, how about you guys start to play the game and not the stats?
If stat isn't important to you, why do you need Infantry Mode to be ranked?

Games with less than 64 people last longer than games with 64 people. Vilham you are a clueless idiot. My best rounds are from 16 and 32 player servers.

And YES infantry only SHOULD be ranked. The only problem I have with it is that seemingly everybody's infatuation with Karkand is going to double.

Infantry only servers exist today only through EA's ignorance. Ignorant or not, you're not gonna find me on one of those servers.. because I value my score.
