BF2S Forums I just got 360points off of an infantry only server.

No way.  I was playing IO just a while ago, I got a score of 223 as squad leader, 3rd in the round (before commander x2).  It was not unfair, it was well organized squad oriented play without some armor whore screwing it all up.  The round ended with a score of 12 - 0.  Honestly, it is a much better game now that we can chose to play in infantry only servers.  Props to EA!

To each his own.

For me the game has always been an infantry based thing.

Imagine IO Wake - lol

I played it today, for literally 34 seconds, then people left and the round was over

I got 210 on Jalalabad in infantry only and it was awesome. It lasted an hour and ended up w/ under 20 pts to the winner. Everyone scored well. I got a bronze @ 210. The gold went to some guy on the other team w/ 285. The commander scored only 160 w/ a 2x. This too was great squad based fighting. Great map and great patch. I see nothing wrong w/ pts this high. Who has time in life to burn to get up in ranks at 60-100 pts a round? I was getting bored w/ the game, but now I am interested again. Props!

MMh... can we? The problem is that if you "tick" the filter you see just servers IO... if you untick it both... .

Your right, i gave IO mode a try last night. It got old fast, everyone only plays support/medic and nade spams everywhere. Suprisingly one guy was playing AT, but would not fire his gun to save his life. He was getting all his infantry kills with AT rockets. Long range, 2 inches away, didn't matter... i don't even thing he knew he had a machine gun. It just doesn't seem right without vehicles IMO. But IO mode is a little better than i though it would be.

Btw: To the OP, nice job on the 360 Brs

I was commander, originally got 180 points, seriously, anyone see this as unfair?

and another thing, infantry only is basically support only, everyone spams nades, and or claymores>_<

Inf only needs to be UNRANKED

or 1/2 points, something

The game lasts longer so as far as points it would even out I think. And everyone is bitching IO is a support/nade/clay/sniper fest and I have yet to experience that. I see more teamwork now than before and better strategies being used in firefights. Its almost.....dare I say it....better than before.......

360 points IAR and complaining?

Yeah almost 100% - to be exactly 400 out of 3600...

Good job Mr. Mathematics.

why are people complaining about IO, isn't that why EA created this option so people could do what they wanted wether they like just infantry, or vehicles but yet there are still people going on and on. just play what you like and stop bitching about the other half.

I got 190 on Warlord but the game lasted so so so so so long. The SPM rate on IO is not that different - the only differnce I see is the points dont go to the Armor whores - So mostly its not unfair to rank (unless you count best rounds).

I guess it can take people longer to get to flags to defend them from being taken and so flags change hands more (but only on things like 16 players max on a 64 player map) - however I think the thing that affects this most is not IO but the reduced minimum players needed.

As for IO only being support - completely disagree - you do see less AT, but when I've played you get loads more snipers, but still assaults,medics, SO's and Engineers. Differnt splits to non IO but not all one sided at all.
