how does it work? by being the ultimate bf2sf challenge... a mec team that took the gator on the second round in IO would have my very sincere respect.

but, generally speaking, i'm guessing it doesn't work, perhaps except as a sniper-off.

nevertheless, iron gator IO still makes much more sense to me than vehicle drops, let alone blackhawks with water pistol miniguns.

Still...you know its just gonna be like the whole US team sitting at the 1 fucking entrance to the boat as either anti-tank, Support, or sniper, with a few medics to take care of the 1 or 2 causulties that will be inflicted.

The thing is i think IO only works pn certain map types, like warlord, surge, mass and lev. Because if you look at vanilla bf2 the types of maps running on IO is karki, jallabad and mashtur. No water involved so you dont need to swim....

yeah basically. IO on Iron Gator would have to be more broken than even Jalalabad. For a MEC team to win, the US team would have to actually like...not play.

whats your point? They can all the frigging boats in the world its still not going to help them get onto the carrier. There is only one entry and that will just be a slaughter when they try and climb the ladders. nade spam come to mind...

Correct. IO will only work with Infantry heavy maps anyway. IDK how people didn't see this when they all wanted IO to start with it just doesn't work in maps designed for vehicles. The reason Infantry battles were interesting was due to there being vehicles, now there are none and you can see how IO really fails. The vehicles add that extra element to make Infantry actually playable on these maps.

don't forget 100 snipers and 200 claymores everywhere at that one point of entry.

Well atleast you wouldn't have to worry about the glitch where you can take the chopper and cap the hangar bay flag by sitting on the carrier...  But still IO for Iron Gator would not work.

that was always IO... whats your point, all 16 player maps where practically IO to start with (ohhhhsss no, 1 tank thats hard to deal with /sarcasm), And those that arn't people dont/wont play IO on anyway becuase there too big.

i think it would be possible to win... it would take massive teamwork, a lot of boats, a ton of snipers, medics and supports; but the MEC team could win. they'd need about 50 extra tickets tho.

wow the more i think about it, the more fun it sounds...

we aren't speculating, we're pondering. Boats suck, especially when theirs only 1 damn entrance to the ship via boat.

3 Seconds later you get 5-10 Rockets againts you. If you have a good team. XD

But on some maps there are boats. Play Sharqi with IO 32 players and you'll see Mec have boats. Cheap targets for Anti tank kit. They dun stand a chance.
