infantry only game mode?

[zen_uk187]

does anyone know if this game mode was added into the recent patch and if so how do you get it to run on a ranked server?

[brazorf]

Nice question.

[Skilllos]

it is added into the game. I can switch our server to inf-only in the 4players-control-panel.

[ETNL]

"4players-control-panel"
Does this mean, Infantry mode is only available to Squad Deathmatch/Rush?

I hope it is not...

levelVars.set gamemode CONQUEST vehiclesDisabled true

Removes all vehicles from all CONQUEST maps i think you can possibly do this:

levelVars.set all vehiclesDisabled true

And you can make it level specific so remove certain things from certain maps and gamemodes........

No matter which command I have used in Rcon I cannot get my server to be Inf.Only all the "var.vehiclesDisabled true" - "levelVars.set vehiclesDisabled true" commands dont work, does anyone have a Inf.Only (no vehicles) Rush server running? Does the server have to be restarted and the command in the startup txt ?

[Brazin162]

I can confirm that infantry only seems to only work in unranked servers. I have tried multiple times with multiple variations of the levelVars.set command in my ranked servers and sadly it only seems to function on my unranked server.

They discuss same in German Forum......Infantry only just possible on unranked Server.......no points.....no one play!

Why DICE? Why cant Player choose between a Server with vehicles or without with getting Points?

I dont like those ******* Tanks and Helicopters...

[DaDs-Burner]

Saw this coming if its true. Theres probably some advantage in some way to infantry only mode that would effect the global ranking system.

Remember with any BF series game, its all about the ranking system and it's not to be messed with.

I don't really care. I just need new MAPS.

inf only worked perfect on bf2 ranked servers amd it helped a lot to keep the game alive so long...we need inf only for ranked servers!!

[Sw00f]

It's funny really, infantry only is considered statspadding, but on the consoles, farming unlimited numbers of stupid bots in onslaught mode to rank up is totally legit.

[PulseSUI]

"inf only" only works with unranked servers?
hell yeah!
DICe realy did a lot of good things with the patch, but that is just nerdtastic!

Onslaught mode isn't ranked.

Well for me inf only (AKA "nadespam on Karkand") ruined BF2. For me it felt like people wanted to get rid of the vehicles because of blatant air superiority etc. But in BC2 vehicles are actually properly balanced.

I have waited for this patch in the hope of switching off that crappy tank in SQDM, it's not needed and ruins the opportunity to have at least one type of Infantry only gametype in this game ............

[6BlackRavens]

The people who pay should have a choice of game modes etc, stuff the world ranking system it's all a shame anyways. your not gunna buy a car with only HOT mode for the A/c now are you ?

[chiefwhc]

LOL infanty only in unranked only??

gg dice...gg

Infantry Only was abused as a stat padding mode back in the days of BF2 because people would use it to farm kills and get infantry badges without having to worry about tanks or APCs. It was responsible for Karkand nadespam (and later Camp Gib nadespam in 2142). Besides, vehicles are so puny in BC2 that they can't really affect the flow of the game.

The problem is ........ nobody care about stats, they are completely meaningless. Have them for fun ...... yes, to see how you are doing. As a means to compare so called 'skill' they are a waste of time

If you stat pad, you ONLY fool yourself. I have no interest in other people stats, nor do I compare myself with them

The one vehicle in SQDM effects the game play tremendously. 4 squads pitched against each other, and some spammer in the only vehicle trying to destroying every building in the hope of killing someone. He becomes the irritation and the focus of attention, diverting you from your main aim to kill the other Squads.

If you like this game mode played that way then fine, but give the choice to those that want to play this mode differently, there is nothing wrong with having the option

that is the point.
people play Inf-only for the stats, leading to less and less "real" servers that play the game with Vehicles.

Inf-only made sense in BF2 because the Vehicles where grossly overpowered, especialy the air vehicles.
BF2142 also got the inf-only mode, but the vehicles where pretty weak in that game, still, Inf-only server started to dominate the server list... because it was easy to get twice or 3 times the points you would in a regular mode game, especialy as medic or support player.
BC2 does not need a inf only mode in Conquest or Rush mode.

i do however agree that removing the APC from SQDM would make sense since it does not affect the gameplay much if you remove it.

[Iciomn]

Bump, pls Baza could you explain us this situation?
I think that many players will be happy to play a ranked infantry server...

[Wetdog10]

I/O is still very popular we have a BF2 server that runs 24/7 Karkand and is always full.
We should have a choice here to make our servers I/O if that's how we want them.
Not just in a un-ranked mode.We were saving a server just for this and now come to find out that it is un-ranked only..IMO...Fail.I have supported all the patch delays to get them right..no matter how long it took..and i think it is a good patch.But this is a complete Fail.We will probably get rid of that server now.

[MikaelKalms]

In the next server release we will allow inf-only for ranked servers.
