All the vehiclewhores are crying, and I love it. Since 1.4 is out my interest in BF2 has been renewed. But now i hear a lot of people saying that IO servers are filled with n00bs only and i think that's not true. Playing in IO servers requires skill and if u win in one of these it shows more skill than sitting in a gunner seat of a helo killing 50+. please discuss.

- IO, finally EA does something right.
Playing in IO requires more skill in ground combat, but you can't deny that flying a helo or a jet also requires skill.
I have respect for people who are really, really good with vehicles, I just hate it when I get killed by them and there's nothing I could do about it.

I like IO...but still like to play with vehicles...it's all about balance
How are you more skilled on IO? I see if you could win as a ground pounder on a regular server you are even more skilled. I don't really like IO because it makes my favorite kit basically useless. I mainly play on IO servers now just to build up time on other kits I don't relaly like too much.
I wasn't sure I liked IO when I first stumbled into one. I was kinda disappointed there were no vehicles. But I have to say the more I played it the more I liked it. I like playing both. I like IO because it helps me get better at my ground skills and use of resources that are immediatley available. I didn't really notice that I had become over dependant in some areas where vehicles are concerned.

Most of them dont even know what a med pack is for, its terrible to die and see 5+ medics running by without a revive
I like IO, but they should have left te hummers/buggies. maybe w/o guns. that way you could get from point a, to point 2 quickly.
I play almost only as infantry, but I don't like IO servers. It's more fun with vehicles, then it's more of a challenge, to avoid and hide from tanks, choppers etc. and try to destroy them. IO is just nade/claymore/medic/ammo spam.
No I prefer to play infantry on a regular server.

Really, what makes being skilled at infantry better than being skilled at operating a vehicle of some sort? The true infantry player can handle vehicles, the ones who cant are weak point whores who are now playing IO.
I play IO because I don't have a commander in a tank somewhere in the middle of nowhere, or having him in the chopper not doing his job. Or being in constant battle with some tank or vehicle.
Also those Arty are coming down more often that they really should, Arty shouldn't be able to be spammed over and over.
IO actually need teamwork to work good at all, in normal you just bring the heavy stuff to the flags and you'll be able to hold them.
And give us a big change than playing with the normal mode on for over a year.

I know a lot of people hate karkand, but on IO, it's actually a really great map to play, no tanks spawn camping any alleyways, and if you play on the right servers you get a bit of teamwork going and you can have a really good game with a form of the game that requires a whole heap of skill to do well in. Mashtuur doesn't feel all to differnet, sharqui is nice when you don't have a Mi-28 raining down molten death on you, and Gulf of Oman 16p is nice to play as well.
But then I still love flying around in a jet and flying/gunning in attack choppers, IO was a great addition, but this isn't counter strike, vehicles are there to add an completely different element to the game and require an equal amount of skill to use well.

IO Karkand is even worse. Nothing but nades and clays everywhere.
Ur right about the nades, EA should give each player 2 or 3 grenades with no ability to resupply, just like with the claymores. And i too think that karkand is better without vehicles just as wake sucks without them.
I have not seen a wake server since IO started.
I did but u have to walk a marathon everytime u want to cap a flag, no fun at all.
that is the worst !Gamematt wrote:

Eh you win some you lose some
i like a change everynow and then so IO is pretty good sometimes
but i think it is even better when ur playing on a Map with a vehicle, adn ur helping ur team via ground pounding, and still come out with a gold and better scores then the vehicle whores...then you know u have done a good job!!!
for instance, the other night i was playing, and scored about 15-20 points more then the vehicle whores
snoogy

Well, flying with the J-10 doesn't take any skill m8 But for take tv guiding for instance, that requires alot of skill in my opinion.xintegrityx wrote:

I have to Agree that IO lacks some of the excitement and satisfaction of ground pounding. I was playing Jallalabad the other day on a normal server and was defending the Mosque. The enemy had us pinned down with 3 tanks sitting outside the wall on the main road. I snuk behind them and got to the TOW at the entrance to the Mosque area. 3 tank kills, 1 humvee full and 1 FAV latter: I was having a great time and was trully satisfied that my ground pounding ass wiped out their entire armor whoring team. That is satisfaction you just can't get in IO.
