Vehicles Only!

Boats and jeeps only would be most excellent, but since that's not an option I'll go with turning vehicles back on

This. Enough powered stuff to get around, but still be voonerable, but no damn tanks/hard-ass apc's, if only that option existed. otherwise, im not bored of running yet.

Vehicles.

I'm getting weird cramp from constantly holding down the shift key.

We could give disapproving stares to anyone using a tank/APC.

I'm quite happy with either to be honest.

The 10 minutes of tonights game I played drove me to the point where I was so raged I just left. That 10 minutes was exactly the reason I suggested infantry only. Chopper flag capping and armour is shit anyway but on a sparsely populated server it's ten times worse. The second round on Mashtuur was over in less than two minutes and the first round on Sharqi was exactly the same. Thats not what I call a decent game of BF2 in the slightest. I'm sorry to say it but while the server remains on vehicle mode I won't be playing any more 5punky Beef unless the server is filled with randoms. I don't consider two minute rounds of speed rape any fun*.

Although I was on the winning side to start with so rage did not get a look in. I do know how frustrating it can be when you're on the non-5punk or losing side for a few rounds.

Maybe if you stuck with it for more than 10 minutes you might notice an improvement in the game, rather than sulkquitting.

We had a very good second round on Sharqi and the Jalabad games were good too.

Aye, first couple of rounds were pants, but after that it improved drastically, and we had a good 90 mins of beef after that. It's a shame you can't restrict certain vehicles only though, like armour and helis.

Firstly since I started playing infantry only any server with vehicles activated has given me the rage, not just the 5punk one.

Secondly I didn't try to change teams. I simply pointed out that they weren't exactly equal, both in skill and amounts of players.

Thirdly, I didn't check the forums/scheduler before I came online. So I was unaware vehicles had been reactivated, If I had done, I wouldnt have bothered joining TS or BF in the firstplace.

Well then dont come on here and throw your toys out the pram demanding an Infantry only server when the poll shows most people DO want vehicles

I've voted for Infantry only, as I prefer it to people armour and heli whoring on certain maps.

I'd LOVE just transport jeeps/helis (blackhawk etc), it would make for a fantasic game.

Karkand and Mashtuur weren't much fun, agreed, but I really enjoyed the second Sharqi round which went on for a good long time, and Jalalabad was okay, although a bit random as I don't know it very well and it gave me a crash at one point.

Probably more to do with even-ness of teams than anything else, having some of our better players in your squad gives you more of a warm feeling, rather than the one of futility with them all against you.

Both sides having uncappables helps, too - as staring at the respawn screen without any bases to spawn at for most of the time isn't very enjoyable.

So, I'd say 50-50 on the vehicles coming back - they worked well later on, but perhaps ruined the earlier maps. I always feel a bit powerless against tanks in Karkand, but managed a nice bit of AT-whoring against a random on Sharqi who kept nicking tanks, but was rubbish in them. Oh, and I got promoted by rocketing KV in the face.
