Dear fellow IO players.

Now that DICE has granted you the ability to play BF2 without vehicles getting in your way, you can safely play maps other than karkand, Jalalabad, Sharqi, and Mashtuur. As daunting as playing something new might be, there are plenty of new maps that you can safely play Infantry on without trouble.
16 player Gulf of Oman, FuShe pass, Songhua Stalemate, and especially Dalian Plant are all GREAT for infantry without the vehicles! Kubra and Daqing are also great maps to actually snipe on, so you can press 3 instead of 5 for a change!

I was really hoping that people would realise that without vehicles those maps would be fun to play for everyone, but out of the ~200 infantry only servers maybe 5 are running a different map than the four mentioned above.

Just give it a try sometime, both players and server admins.

Amen to that, Sarge.  I was really looking forward to playing the maps you mentioned IO and I can rarely find them, and if a server switches to one of them... it empties of players.  Come on guys, there's a whole world waiting out there to be discovered.  All you have to do is leave the city!

Oh, and I agree with Sandriatinhi - SF is great fun in IO - although there are still too many Warlord servers.  Surge and Mass Destruction are brilliant IO.  The night ones get on my nerves a bit (too much switching between night vision/gas mask/shades) but they're still a top laugh IO with good squads.

Special forces own vanilla bf2 in general just such a shame hardly any servers around for it .

i say EA give away EF/AF/SF free so new players will come to game and use the new maps

And a second Amen!  Yeah man, what is it with people not playing SF?  It is so much more varied and interesting than vanilla and yet nobody's about.  It makes me want to cry

I played Night-flight on a IO server the other night for only the 3rd time ever for playing that map and ZOMG it was awesome fun .Claymore's where a bugger to see but it was crazy fun i will play that more often .

I found a UK server running ALL Special Forces maps on i think the clan where called UAF something like that but it was a great fun few hours .

Servers cycle maps according to demand. People prefer to go 'Grenade!' 'Grenade!' 'Grenade!' 'Get ammo, here' and repeat, rather then use some resemblance of what might be considered skill..

Ye but half the reason City maps are so popular is because the spawns are so close togethor so there is more action.
