Maybe I am getting old, I dunno...

I joined a server the other night. Need some medic/support time for a medal so I picked a Karkand with low ping for me.

Got thrown on the MEC side. Decide to play engy instead because I also need the repairs. But I joined slowly so I knew that the armor would already be taken. Sure enough I check the map, and there is no armor in the MEC factory.

So spawn near the canal to lay down mines. Finished, I check the minimap to check if any armor had died yet. All the armor is dead? Crap. Head back to the factory then realise that there won't be any armor, it is an IO server.

Immediately suicide to support and spawn near the frontlines.

LOL but there was nothing in the server name to indicate an IO server. What a dumbass!

Happened to me and a friend earlier on Jalalabad. He was waiting for a few minutes at the US spawn for a tank before we realised. lol

I wasn't encouraged by this and wasn't too surprised when PLA lost. Still, a sniper got the high score on our team so I wasn't too disappointed

I played IO Wake a couple of nights ago and was mega-surprised.  The US has RIBs at the artillery island - I was expecting them to have to swim across!

There are still transport vehicles in IO, bar the APC's.

Hummers and Vodnics as well?

BTW, you can tell if your joining an IO only server if during the loading screen it says "No Vehicles : 1"

It can be great. No artillery, no helos raping you by circle-strafing from above, no J-10s doing the bomb-reload-bomb-reload circuit on your carrier, no APCs or tanks camping a spawn etc. etc. But you have to move on foot everywhere, so gameplay can be a bit slow on a large map.

Some of the very large maps like Zatar? Ugh, wouldn't even want to try it. As someone said a while back: Zatar + no vehicle = big leg muscles. And imagine if you were down to one flag and you hoof it for five minutes (literally) to another flag only to be killed 30m from your goal by a waiting enemy, or worse still, 1m from your goal by a claymore...

If you like infantry fighting on an urban map and you find it frustrating to be killed by vehicles then you'll probably like it but if you like fighting in vehicles, or fighting against them, then maybe you won't.

Have you actually played no-vehicle mode... not on an infantry-only server pre 1.4?

I wish it did have transport vehicles, even without MGs. But boats dude, for the maps that require them, that's it.

A couple nights ago we tried IO on our Karkand + Jalalabad (for now) server. It was great but all the armor whores in our clan hated it
