IO mode was a lot of fun in BF2, I'd like to see it in 2142.  How about you? Discuss.

Good on conquest, I can play on a couple of IO's already.

this game, unlike BF2, was built with the infantry man in mind. spawns are mostly uncampable by armor, their more spread out, armor is ineffective against infantry, etc.

IO already exists, dude.

APC + Any conquest map = win.

Well said. Gibraltar only has two Walkers in the whole map, and Cerbere one. Tunis only has two as well. Berlin has two and two APCs, and Belgrade has one walker, two APCs and two Tanks (I think...)

No it doesnt. There is orbital strikes, and there is armor. I dont play conquest that much because, orbital strikes are f'ing gay.

I agree 2142 was built with the infantry more in mind.  Although spawns are mostly uncapable my armor or vehicles, any vehicle can easily take out a squad at a silo or flag.  I destroyed a whole squad last night with only a FAV. +6 for me!   The APC is even more capable. 

And as alien-DSW-Gen said, orbital strikes and armor also factor in current combat.  In BF2 IO, it feels like a whole new game.  My tactics are much different.  For instance, I know a sniper could have a good spot and be watching my every move, so I use cover much more.  Support can guard open ground like they're designed to, so I don't just run around corners without looking.  With arty or orbital, a sniper or support thats deadly will get blown 100 feet in the air.

Sure why not,but i also think it wouldn't be as good as normal BF2 IO.

I just think it wouldn't be very eventfull,tedious too.

16 player versions of large maps seem like they'd be good Infantry maps really... Verdun in particular.

It's a shame more servers don't run them...
