To buy BF2 and play IO, is idiocy. Go play CS:S - here is a hint: THE ENTIRE GAME IS DESIGNED TO BE INFANTRY ONLY. Yeah, that.

BTW, there is a way to play BF2 IO: its called "unranked servers". Have fun with that.

If IO mode is basically 32 player maps with no vehicles, then just play unranked servers; they can do that. In fact, its not even really that hard. Oh, and have fun walking *alot*. IO I would assume means no vehicles; I assume like every other "I bought battlefield 2: strike at karkand coz i didnt know they had other maps" player, you just want strike at karkand without vehicles. Maybe Sharqi too.

If you want to play IO on a ranked server, I call BS. The whole idea of medals and awards is they show you put the time in * on a normal, ranked server where everybody has access*. If you play pistol only just to get your pistol badge, I feel sorry for you. You did not earn your badge, you cheated the system (and I personally would like to see your badge taken away). Part of the reason I dont have so many awards is that I dont try for them. The only time I use the pistol is when a: my main gun doesnt have the accuracy at range, like a shotgun or b: my main gun is out of ammunition and i dont have time to reload.

Regardless, all the IO BS is idiotic. Go play on a modded, unranked server, where people took the time to make the servers IO; dont waste DICE's (and my) time by asking for IO version of ranked servers. They need to spend as much time as they can on what matters: getting the core game that they designed called BATTLEFIELD 2 (not infantry at karkand 2, not infantry shooters, not I R GI GUYZ) to work right.

still not a good argument.

People play BF2 because of the ranking system, believe it or not. They also play it because of the realistic features about it (accuracy for one). CS:S doesn't have anything on BF2, its just uncomparable. Bf2 has so many features about it that seperates it from all other FPS', so why, why would anyone want to play another game (except 2142).

IO will give most BF2 players another reason to like the series, and also keep players that maybe don't like BF2 as of the vehicles.

If you don't like IO mode, then shuttup and don't play on it.

could you do that simple thing?

Dear God Watson you're on to something here!!!!

What would you guys think of a "King of the HILL" or "Flag Capture" map?

Kinda like paint ball but with knives - depleting health, a med station {you gotta get to it to survive and if you
die you can only observe}, large map, squads, grappling hooks, zip lines, etc.

There was a guy who made a MOD on J.O.E. very similar to this and it was the most played map for the longest time. 

sry - not trying to hijack your Topic.  Just got all happy in the pants when I read his post.

Kaboom.

WAIT

I retract my statement. They should have an IO version; in fact, I would love for this feature to belong in the game. In fact, if they could enhance it, and spend a little time on it, maybe even some new maps for it, I would love that. Please, DICE, do this for me, and for the balance of the game, because:

Then you wouldnt have 10,000 people all whining that aircraft are too powerful.

Result: Fewer nurfs on aircraft and vehicles. Also, a happier blacksheepcannibal, because I wouldnt have to listen to people ingame whine about aircraft being too powerful.

Oh, and maybe they could go back and actually reprogram the Attack aircraft in AF to NOT SUCK, because everybody knows, DICE made those aircraft suck because too many people would have been whining "but the A-10 tankbuster keeps killing me when im in a tank!".

I wholeheartedly support to move to make an IO version of the game. Heck, sell it as an expansion, a free expansion, just to get the whiners off of the real battlefield maps.

As said before, Infantry only is not what is needed in the game. Focused maps is. One map that emphasises each aspect of the game to the extreme as almost every map in BF2 is a very general "sameish" map.
Whoa... Can't believe these forums are still kicking.

It should be allowed as long as it's conquest only.  Titan mode requires APCs or aircraft in order to board the Titan.

I voted no, partially because of the reason so many have stated.

This is battlefield, consisting of the entire battlefield experience (minus the actual dying of course). The only people who want to make an infantry mode are the ones who can't deal with vehicles or teamwork it takes to use/take down these vehicles, and would much rather play lone wolf style or have a squad used only for medic revives and squad leader spawns.

However my biggest reason is there are so many other modes that should be in it, namely CTF. Why the hell are we on patch 1.4 and there is still no CTF?

Flaming_Maniac, there is no CTF because it is not a realistic battlefield objective.  Battlefield is all about realistic fights, and nobody's going to send a company of men to die to grab someone else's flag.  So far, the only acceptable modes have been Titan and Conquest (the classic BF mode with a few variations, which really only are how flags are arranged).

And no, I don't think IO should be ranked.  IO is for people who have had it with spawning as AT only to find no enemy vehicles for miles, and then spawn as medic only to be over-run with tanks and APCs.  I never implied, suggested, or stated that IO shold be ranked.

Are you kidding me? CTF could represent a number of objectives, hostages, buildings, leaders. That would be just about the most relevent mode.

wrong.

i love every aspect of BF2, Planes, helicopters, jeeps, tanks, apcs, everything. The reason i want infantry only is because BF2 was made to be a game that focuses on teamwork. The only servers you get teamwork in are the 1% of regular servers where there are unique team players on. of course these only occur once every year. the others are non-ranked (but not many people play these, as BF2 as also made for the points) and IO servers.

if that is your way of making a good argument against IO, then you should try again.
