So this all comes down to stats then?

I can't enjoy infantry only gameplay because you think it makes your stats seem bad?
No. I'm beyond caring about my stats. I play for fun, you see. Sometimes I'll just drive around & see how many road kills I can get. Sometimes I'll crash a jet just cause I'm trying to fit it through a tight spot.

There are way too many people out there who care about their stats more than I do.

What do you get for awesome stats? Absolutely nothing.

I didn't answer it because killerkebab beat me to it.

The infantry combat in CS is 10x better than that of BF2.

He was inside my quote, I could have made it obvious. Sorry for that (no hostility. it was my bad)

CS is not BF2. I still say that and hope you will understand.

I give you an example.

Asuming you know these two games Diablo 2 and Sacred.

They are both Action RPGs that have quite a lot incommon.

Still I don't play Sacred when I want to play Diablo 2 because what I want to play is Sacred. It really doesn't get more simple than that.

SC infantry combat is nothing like BF2. There are no squads, not too much team work (we are talking about public servers). No diffetent classes with different abilities.

So it's different in many many aspects.

I say this one more time:

If I want to play BF2 infantry, I want to play BF2 infantry, not CS!!!

For me the big problem with IO Jalalabad is that the USMC team invariably fails to co-operate in any meaningful fashion. The result is being pinned down in your home base in a turkey shoot.

The few times I have lucked out vis-a-vis teamwork the mission was a lot of fun. I would like more "Squad only" servers with frequent kicks for not following orders. That's one of the big improvements over BF1942 and it's wasted frequently.

I want a 24/7 SF night maps or a 24.7 clean sweep. 24.7 AF maps aside road rage. IE Harvest and Midnight would rule too

I have no problem with that. I just don't agree that the physics of BF2's infantry combat is good enough to warrant exclusive play. Could be that my video card's not good enough to make it fun (or accurate), but in my experience, a lot of wack shit happens on foot.

Still you must understand that somepeople find infantry only fun!

I love to have the choise to fight face to face with people with out tanks or choppers every now and then.

I still play normal BF2. A lot actually.

I like both and I'm happy that I can play what I feel like playing at the moment.

Also I have no trouble finding servers with all maps and vehicles with pings under 100.

Am I writing a poem here?

Firstly, no one is telling you to play BF2 or IO so don't, secondly if people buy the game why shoudln't they play on what they want? Thirdly, BF2 on IO is completly diffrent to Counter-Strike, one has small maps, no commander, no Cp's, no huge open maps etc.

*sigh*

I didn't expect my rant to be so hotly discussed.

I'm going back to work.

Thanks for the lunch break entertainment, dudes.

Until next time...

At first I didn't like infantry only Jalalabad either.However, if you join a decent squad it's pretty fun.

i play IO most of the time as I'm fed up of being in an ace squad about to take a spawn point then an enemy tank appears and kills us all in 2 seconds. and i find that IO is better for team play especially on jalalabad as with good squads that map is great.

edited as i mispelt play, god i'm a dumbass.

if you don't like infantry only mode DON'T PLAY it. I still switch up back and forth from io to vehicles just becuase it does get boring playing the same map over and over again. Your right about that. With 2142 coming I'm starting ot care less about my stats.

Shame on all you admins who poison my server list with your infantry-only and 24/7 Jalalabad servers.

"YES! A NEW MAP! Let's play it for ever!"

"I don't want no stupid vehicles on my server!"

Seriously. Since the dawn of BF2, map rotations have gotten increasingly less diverse. I can't even remember the last time I played Songua Stalemate. And now they introduce the Infantry Only switch, and y'all jump on it like a bunch of Japanese girls embracing the latest crazy fad. Same with Jalalabad. Can any map be good enough to play OVER AND OVER AND OVER AND OVER AND OVER AND OVER....? Certainly not.

Well I'm not buying it. I have a name for Infantry Only, and it's COUNTER-STRIKE. The vehicles are what separates BF2 from other FPS games, and now you shit all over them. Why? So you can amass more points? I don't get it. Again, same with Jalalabad. Map diversity keeps the game interesting. With 2142 upon us, who cares about score? Have fun!

Don't even begin to think "antin0de, run your own server" is an acceptable response to this. Rather, explain the reasoning behind these silly configurations.

Don't get me wrong here, I appreciate the time and service you contribute to the BF2 community. If it weren't for y'all, we wouldn't have anywhere to play. Just don't be lame! Add more maps to your roto! Make it fun again!

Shame on you!

Ever try that neat filter that BF2 offers?

That's not an ace squad.
You know, an ace squad would have a couple AT soldiers, and hopefully not all squad members bunched together , not to be all killed by a single shell.

Well right now, I only play 24/7 maps, because I don't wanna either wait 5 mins for the server to load, get playing, and then reliase it was the 3rd round and have to load for another 5 mins.

That will all change once I get my new system.

2GB's of RAM, it will load super fast... I think... I hope!

Well the problem on the normal server is that most people are waiting for a plane or chopper to appear and those take time to come out on some servers. So you have about 5-7 people that are camping the carrier or waiting for a chopper somewhere else. Second we don't get so many TOW missiles towers in the game and where they are are not often good.

Wish I had those wake stats. Wake is a new fav. of mine(wake,oman,and kubra are the best). Karkand screwed me over when i First started out.. I could get off the carrier without crashing. So i had to play karkand or I would get raped by jets and not know what was what. Then i learned how to fly. I went from alley spawn camper to carrier raper.

Its just fucking stupid...There is not point of playing INF only unless you play on the smaller map sizes that don't include the US main base...Other than that it just turns into a nade fest

Then don't play it!!!

How hard can it be to get that around your head?!

I like IO a lot! So to me it's not "fucking stupid".

If you don't like it then don't play it!

I can't belive how stupid people can be...

Its hard when they dont write it in server title and you go to spawn at airfield on wake and you get to walk about 20 miles to see a kill.

BF2S Forums Infantry-Only and 24/7 Jalalabad? Not for me.
