So let me get this straight.....
You're upset coz they added a new map and more options to this game?
You missed the point. My gripe is with the admins who set their servers to run said map 24/7, excluding all others. And with the fact that IO has been met with such fanfare.
Please read!
Did you ever stop to think that the admins may not like all the maps, and they run the ones they do like? They are not required to cater your tastes, they run what they want, and if you don't like it, find a different server with a larger map rotation.
If I had a server I can guarantee you that it would be a city maps only server. I find in general that the rest of the BF2 maps just suck shit. This is obviously my opinion, but if I'm paying for the server I'm damn well going to run the maps I like to play, not what some other person wants.
As far as IO goes, I don't mind it. There are some days where I just don't feel like dealing with smacktards TKing for vehicles, and having choppers, tanks, and LAVs sit and camp a flag to rape it (for points) rather than caputre it. I think IO levels the playing field, where vehicles often create an imbalance, and forces far more squad work than a map with vehicles.
Now I do admit that IO makes some kits useless, like AT, and yes you usually end up with a lot of snipers and support people, but that's because those are the weapons that are most effective when vehicles are not an issue.
I will grant you one other thing though, the server browser is totally fucked since 1.4 in showing the map that a specific server is actually running. I can't count the number of times I have found a server playing a map I want to play, only to join and find that they are on a completely different map.
