what do you get killed by most in this? tonight during my first actual full bout of a few rounds of playing it i decided to count in one of the rounds.

7 times by claymores
13 times by grenades
ONLY TWO FUCKING TIMES BY A BULLET


does anyone else notice this happening? or is it just me isolated in the few rounds ive played on it?

depends how you play the game, IO is more intense: check ground for claymores, check skyline for nade spammers, hide quick but dont run round a corner for fear of a clymore.  It is different i agree, and annoying sometimes but it can be amazing!

winning as USMC on jalalalalalalalalalabad on a full 64 player IO server is VERY SATISFYING

Yeah i get it in some IO games also. But, grenades and claymores ARE weapons. If people are concerned about how they perform at deathmatch .. then they should play a real deathmatch style game (HL2, ut, etc...) imo. BF2 includes more then just carbines/rifles.

It is probably just you. Try to look out for new passages and walkingpaths. If you just run over and over arround the same corners, you will die by claymores every time.
And the grenade problem. Try to stay hidden. Most players start to throw grenades as soon they know that there are enemies in a certain area.

what a surprise - you don't like it so call those that do noobs and say its no skill!

Personally I now avoid IO servers, but when I've played on them I've gone whole rounds without dieing by hand grenades - if your standing in a place thats easy for them to chuck nades into expect to die by the nade! Yes also expect more claymores - but they only have two each so its part of IO to avoid them!

In short yes YOU HAVE TO PLAY IT DIFFERENTLY! Thats the point - and what do you expect all the armor, jet, heli whores to do when they go on IO? The arnt used to using guns so they nade and snipe (and claymore)!

It takes different skills to play IO, same as it takes different skill to play other maps, or different classes.... many people cant adjust so just call people noobs (because that takes no skill as well)

Whoa, ease down there doneyone. DRKillusion hasn't said anything to deserve that attack.

I'm enjoying IO. Yes there are a lot of nades getting spammed but there are ways around that. Yes, there are claymore's lying about but they're not invisible. My % of kills from armour was about 75%, now I've got it down to 68% because sitting in a tank I was missing out on the real skill of the game which is getting on the floor, using tactics, using teamwork and shooting people with a gun.

Couldn't have 1337-spoken it better myself..

Complain, complain, complain.. That's what drives us people. The constant complaining how everything sucks and that it's someone elses fault. When that someone else makes attempts to give the complaining parties something they might enjoy, what do they get in return? More complaints, of course. It's not just this game, it's everything and everyone around us.

The world.. ..it's slowly turning.. ..emo..

One of my clan servers is set to infantry only, and that's our most filled one.   If that server isn't playing, me and other clan mates will find some other infantry server.  Infantry is more fun, even if you do have to avoid claymore after claymore.  And guess what! If you avoid those (like I can) then you have no worries, and you can dominate on Jalalabad!

I played infantry only once, but I didn't like it because I prefer flying in this game. Or rather I did, until people complained about that too. Infantry is more fun for some, flying is fun for me. I didn't complain and ask to nerf grenades so they explode into fluff rather than killing you, I just didn't play infantry only again. I prefer Karkand with vehicles over IO because instead of complaining about tanks whores, just switch to anti-tank kit and make them cry instead.
