I second this....or can be given a few maps that is infantry only exclusively. Matter of fact....all ambush maps should be infantry only or with LAVs. But definitely no dropships |

Those wanting vehicles/infantry can go play the regular maps.
I want an OPTION to chose skirmish/ambush maps with NO VEHICLES just infantry. The result of this would mean no infantry players would ever queue for maps where there are vehicles. Vehicle maps would be nothing but vehicles with a couple newbies who accidentally joined the game mode, although their queue times would be so lengthy due to hardly anyone trying to play those maps that chances are you'd never even get a vehicle game going. This is a terrible solution to the issue of vehicle balance.
So what if that's what infantry mercs will do?? Let the vehicle soldiers fight with those who want vehicles and let the infantry fight against infantry if they like.
Are people that afraid to actually shoot people in a "first person shooter". Omg, the horror!
Some infantry will still queue for vehicle maps but it will give those a break who haven't speced into anti-vehicle or vehcile maps yet. Many people don't wish to play a TDM and get sexed by two guys in a dropship raining down fire on the battlefield with no escape and broken counters.
Jeez, these vehicles have shield extenders, resisters, amplifiers, boosters, etc...all sorts of crap to protect themselves. All infantry are allowed is a shield extender and minute counters that you have to change your entire loadout to use because they will be useless against other infantry and snipers. |

Problem is, it ALSO negates the value of anyone who's invested all their skillpoints into AV infantry skills.
I've focused pretty heavily on making my character good at AV operations. I've spent a lot more SP on anti-vehicle skills than I have on anti-infantry effectiveness.
You want a mode where ALL vehicles AND about half the infantry in the game are basically removed from play.
No thanks.
Jesus Christ...it's an additional mode. He's not saying remove more vehicle maps. He's requesting to ADD an additional mode. Which means.....MORE than less.
Players like yourself who specced into vehicle and anti-vehicle will still queue for vehicle maps. And players, especially, new players who haven't will queue for infantry. Why are you guys being close-minded?
This worked in BF3 and it has worked in MAG. Some people queue for Metro, others queue for Caspian Border. Some people play Sabotage, others play Domination. There is something for everyone.

But even if you have a section on a map where vehicles won't be able to go.....infantry will stay there while vehicles will just drive around watching paint dry.
This is a really viable idea and it's proven that it works because it is like that in other games. This game is a vehicle styled game and not a shooter. I'm exaggerating, of course....but most of the games are decided by Vipers, Prometheus', Gunnlogis, etc. All of the vehicles are relatively difficult to take down, requiring more than one or two people at a time. Although, I don't like it...I'm fine with it. But adding infantry only modes or maps will be great.
If anything, CCP can reward the vehicle maps with more ISK than infantry maps. Then that might enourage players to play on those maps if they choose to. But when they feel like just shooting someone, then they should have the option to do so.
Ambush, TDM should definitely be without vehicles.....if that's the only change then that would suffice. Leave all other maps and modes the same but change ambush modes to infantry only modes. I have never seen a fps where you can just roll a tank and obliterate the entire opposition. In BF3, there is one tank allowed for squad death match and it's the dumbest thing in the world. |
