There are a bunch of reasons...but I know the reason why I play inf only is that my clan plays primarily inf only and I enjoy inf combat more than vehicles so....Whatever floats your boat...some people vehicle whore, some do a little bit of both and others just stick to inf...

- Why is infentry only so damn popular!
I agree. The nade spamming is horrible but it's my choice whether to play in them or not...I shouldn't bitch about a choice I make.killer21 wrote:
64 player IO servers are filled with nade spamming. I like to play in 32 size servers because there is more 1 vs 1 action instead of people just chunking nades at people. Good times to be had.
I also agree that if you like IO, the 32 player servers seem to have less nade spamming.
I play on both regular and IO. Depending on the mood. What I don't do is bitch about either while playing...I know what's going to be happening when I join and I can either adapt and overcome the techniques or not play.
I choose the former.

Not keen on IO on Jalalalabad, but say on karkand its nice not to get blown away by tanks all the time, and rather than just staying at the front tossing nades all the time i tend to run off with my cousin and get flags (US anyway) while everyone else is fragging around, Just takes one person to get a flag elsewher and the nade fest soon splits up
Because 100+ rounds aren't uncommon, even for the biggest noob.

I say more skill is required when playing with vehicle whores. And there certianly isent much skill involved jumping up and down and chucking nades in the air. I just don't see why playing the same map over and over with infentry only is so fun.Glockin40 wrote:

I play IO a lot not because of high scores, but because it is just fun for me. I rarely ever get 100 pts because I don't play as a medic anymore. If I do break 100 it is because of the amount of kills I happen to get in a round. I think IO is a lot of fun and the people who bash it are the one's who can't hit a person even if they had a hand full of bullets and a distance of 2 inches....Ok that didn't make sense but you get the point.
becauce you have no 1337 tank hoars camping your base.
No offence intended but; Just avoid the servers that have the 'NO VEHICLES" option checked to ' 1 ' BEFORE YOU CLICK JOIN.BlackCow wrote:
I don't understand, all of the good 64 player servers are infentry only. Why do people like it so much? I like the idea of no vehicles but the problem is that its full of nade spaming bunny hoping n00bs. And the battle always seems to move so slow, specialy on jalalabad. A few infentry only servers is enough but why so many of them, it didn't used to be that way. What happend to all the good city maps only servers.
Simple .. infantry = tons of points
it's because you don't have to fight for a vehicle. Thats it for me.
There should be a filter. There is a filter to only show IO servers but no filters to block out IO servers, because EA is good like that.JaggedPanther wrote:

ppl like infantry because the majority are noobulite sgts who want to + their E-penors by getting 120 points a round
Why isn't the dictionary as popular as INFANTRY Only servers? *lols at the topic*

Inf. only is so popular, 'cause it's for n00bs!!
it's easier for n00bs to get points in IO servers!

Cry me a river while you camp for "YOUR" vehicle.
IO = level playing field FTW!
Less new players for you to WTF PWN in ur shiney attack chopper?
Any good (insert vehicle type in here) player can dominate the other team if they dont have at least as compitent a vehicle user on their side, its no fun gettin pirated for your assets and roasted because your tanks were taken by private nubbins who bails when a medic gets a satchel onto his tank....
Everybody has to learn but the curve is (north face) steep in a live game and having the rest of your team getting owned because of it is no fun. Thing is, its easily prevented if your good players get the assets (with the exception of certain pilots being on the server) but generally they are high ranked players and its not fair to have the 1337 players ALWAYS having the assets....

I never play 64 IO servers - waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay too much nade spam.
32 players on 64 sized maps is heaps better, more spread out combat, less nade spam, longer rounds and higher scores

I am a ground pounder so i like the infantry only maps, and do play them alot, i agree the big 64 player maps are filled with nade spammers which isnt really fun or have much skill to unless your piss poor with nades and want to learn quick, but 32 player maps infantry only is pritty much like fighting for real, snipers get to do there job with out fear of being sloted by a helo or the tank whores, the support guy can actually do hi thing instead of just throwing ammo every (trust me, in infantry only when a hoard of guys coming at you, the support weapons can really get to work. Medics are medics every where no reall change, engi's and there shotties can get into the action more as a lot of infantry servers are city maps, kark, mash , jala, granted the things to repair is reduced to bridges and commander assets. Same with AT, except these guy get to use there rockets for taking apart troops, and the commando just fewer things to blow up, but you can boobie trap the hell out of the flags. really what i am saying is the 4 to 6 guys you get whoring the vehicles is gone and you can just get down to the fighting.
The whole no skill thing is crap, there skill on both sides, ie infantry and normal modes of play.
One critism is that on infantry maps the artillery is taken away and they take away the jeeps as well.

No vehicles sucks. Just turns everyone into nade whores. You need vehicles to keep the game open. It takes alot more skill when there are vehicles in play!
I like both IO only and regular modes. Usually play city maps and I think its quite easy to avoid the tanks if you play smart. Also, two ATs will take out a tank easily. But on the other hand it´s nice to completely get them of the streets once in a while. I think the old IO servers where it was only forbidden to drive vehicles, although they were standing there in front of your face, was useless since the rules only were obeyed by 80 % of the players. So the "real" IO only mode was a big improvement to the game. Too bad it´s become more common with IO only than regular mode on the city maps. So sometimes it can be difficult to find a good server. Hopefully they will put in a filter on the next patch.
A tip:
Tired of Karkands flat 2D combat nade-spamming? Try Sharqi Peninsula in IO only mode 30-40 players, great action with combat in three dimensions!
Good hunting

no jet kiddies with daddys joysticks.
therefore, more skilled game, less spam.
lets face it. maps like sharqi are 10x better infantry only.
I admit though, that jalalabad is very unbalanced in I/O mode, but hell we're dealing with
EA here, cant expect much.
They should allow jeeps in IO mode, for transport. Nothing else. But that would have taken
10 more lines of code to write, and DICE isnt capable.
- ammobag spamming, bunnyhopping, nadechucking SUPPORTGUYS
- the MEDICS bunnyhop right behind the supportguys to revive them all the time, and if they don't revive they pick up the ammo bags and start nadespamming.
- and last but not least: the suicide SNIPERS: they run down the alleyways, drop 2 gaymores and die. they get 2 kills from the first gaymore. Then all of a sudden all the medics rush for "teh revive points somfg" and revive the guy. then the second claymore explodes and the sniper gets another 5 kills. By then the sniper has respawned and repeats the producer
