Play it like the game is or give a fuckSnake wrote:
Standard - I play the game how its meant to be fucking played and not whine about some vehicle or ability that may or may not be overpowered.
If I wanted Infantry only, I can think of a load of games which make BF2 look like a piece of shit and Id play those instead.
It also takes much more skill to survive in a tank on just about any map other than Karkand/Mashtuur. Again, nobody realises this. They just get killed by a Tank on Karkand and immediatley hate everything to do with vehicles. Saying they are "n00b" and take no skill. Of course it doesn't take any fucking skill to use a Tank on Karkand, if you played other maps you'd realise that Tanks actually do take skill to use.jord wrote:

I am still a noob, so I agree with you on that. I bought the game because I played the demo and like it. It was only my second multiplayer game, first was joint ops. I bought the game because I enjoyed the ground fighting while playing the demo. I still play it because of the city maps. The main reason I think I enjoy IO only is because I was in the infantry, and was involved in some urban combat, therefore I kind of like to re-live the street to street fighting without the fear of dying.Richard2000 wrote:
standard
because this is a modern warfare game and not a game for noobs who dont like tanks and jets
so why buy a game when you dont like tanks and jets
Also, I like tanks and helos, but I rather not play on boards that have them since the anti-armor weapons, while somewhat effective, are cold-war era technology against a modern Abrams tank.
Nothing sweeter than TOW'n a chopper. I like having vehicles around because its great taking them out when they think they are invincible.usmarine2005 wrote:

i reckon IO would be prefect if only jeeps, boats and transport choppers where the only vehciles allowed.
these are the true infantry vehciles anyway...

Standard, if it were infantry only other games would beat this out

Name some. I'm desperately looking for an alternative to BF just in case 2142 sucks.Snake wrote:

Requirements (beyond good gameplay):
- Good graphics, not necessarily BF2 in ALL HIGH & 4x AA, but good looking.
- Good sound, I didn't spend a bucket of money on sound card and sound system to live without at least EAX
- not completely overrun with morons, n00bs and cheaters
- solid singleplayer mode to practise before playing online
- must run on a 64-bit machine and Windows x64, all my 32-bit machines now fulfill "server" duties
Don't mention:
- All "Medal of Honor" titles - been there, done that. Entertaining, but not a match for BF2.
- All "Call of Duty" titles - been there, done that. Entertaining, but not a match for BF2.
- Americas Army - hella boring plus it is pure propaganda - no thanks.
- Unreal Tournament titles - that's arcade entertainment, good for a few quickies every once in a while, but definitely nothing to play for several hours in a row and nothing to stick to for several months
- F.E.A.R. combat - that's arcade entertainment, good for a few quickies every once in a while, but definitely nothing to play for several hours in a row and nothing to stick to for several months
- Ghost Recon titles - excellent, challenging, but gameplay is not comparable to that of BF2, too static and slow
- SWAT - excellent, challenging, but gameplay is not comparable to that of BF2, too static and slow
- Rainbow Six - excellent, challenging, but gameplay is not comparable to that of BF2, too static and slow
- Doom / Quake series - entertaining, but I don't like them.
I have played a hell lot of FPS since Wolfenstein 3D, none could keep my interest alive as long as Battlefield 2 could so far.
On topic: As I tend to enjoy Special Forces a lot, I think I might also prefer 1.4's Infantry Only mode. I can't fully decide though. With appropriate support, a good round on Dalian Plant or Daquing Oilfields is definitely more entertaining than nade & claymore spamming on Karkand or Sharqi.

It depends on the map,get an armour KD of 10 on an air map,that will be the day.fierce wrote:

Oh and i don't mean a one off,i mean over and over.
Dalian Plant. PLA holds all cappable flags but one, the J10s know how to keep the F35s and Blackhawks down. As long as you can keep stupid infantry from taking the only flag USMC holds besides the carrier, this is a pure rapefest. Fragrate of 10? Even more.jord wrote:

Regular basis.

Agreed. Usually it's not possible to hinder your eager infantry from capping that last flag.jord wrote:

But seriously: I know what you mean and agree. With some just mediocre skilled pilots, a fragrate of 10 in armor is usually an achievement on airmaps.

Standard.
This is so lame. The battlefield series has always been all about a sandbox style do w/e you want kind of game.
BF1942 was much more low key then BF2 so the game didnt go through many changes and was loved by many. Bf2 comes along and its awesome, but sadly the # of players playing is practically 20x that of 1942.
So naturally out of all these people some tards wanna turn BF2 into CS because they cant seem to use there brains and avoid vehicles.

To say I have no brain because I find it more fun to play IO is messed up.
Then your playing the wrong game. CS probably suits you better....i guess you like repetitive gameplay.starkingdoms wrote:

Deal with the vehicles or leave the game....quite simple.
EA is really giveing in to the whiners with BF2...and its getting old
lol ok...but im just saying the BF series has had a mix of infantry and vehicles since the very 1st BF game. And for EA to just change that in the blink of an eye because a bunch of players dont like tanks or jets....is well ridiculous to say the least.usmarine2005 wrote:

i usually play infantry only, but ive'd really become quite the tv misslie whore lately, so i have to say standard.
Wrong approach. They're not limiting or nerfing the game like they did all the time, they're expanding it by creating an additional game mode (which is, unlike the coop mode, at least interesting). They're offering something quite a number of people wanted to try probably since the game has been released and which had to be enforced by server rules that were in violation of EA's ranked server rules so far.Teflon.DEP wrote:

Beyond that, IO is a server option, it's not the only thing left to do with the game.
It takes the challenge out of some maps, completely agreed. On the other hand, people will run out of excuses for shitty k/d ratios.Teflon.DEP wrote:

Both.
When I want to break out the AK, I'd rather not bunnyhop around a stupid APC whore that doesnt even have to aim to kill me. Not saying that it's hard to avoid vehicles; its rather easy. Though, pure skill with weapons and strategy are required with infantry only. And, there's more targets. The players that would be in vehicles are now on foot.
When I want to play wake, im sure as hell not going to play inf. only. Long distances.... claymores... ew. Jets, tanks, helicopters and cars make this map way more interesting. Same goes with Songhua, Zatar, Gulf of Oman, etc. I am a self-proclaimed heli whore because it's fun, and I'm rather fond of it.
$.02.

I'll play both.
Well, the results are interesting. I am a little surprised more people didn't vote for IO only. I guess only a few of us are weird.
