Battlefield 2 Beta Patch
If you're feeling especially sassy, there is a beta patch 1.4 available for Battlefield 2. One of the new options is a No Vehicles toggle on servers, allowing for infantry only combat. There is also an additional map.

Yeah that's pretty great.

Anyone know if they are planning on having infantry-only *ranked* servers? Kinda screws over the anti-tank class if thats the case.

I tend to agree... with the maps as large as they are, the huge walks would get very annoying. ie. It should just be limited to light vehicles, to keep that added mobility and tactical element. Basically the vehicles with nothing more powerful than a heavy machine-gun.
The infantry games were great though. I remember the 16 player Gulf of Oman demo map getting me hooked ('cept when the tanks came) :)-
Or how about vehicles as transportation only.
No vehicles with weapons. I have to admit a good player ina tank or APC can decimate a team.
So just have like a high speed stakebed truck that holds up to 6. It offers minimal protection and doesn't have any firepower, but the passengers just stand in it so they can fire their normal weapons. It cruises along slightly faster and more nimble than the APC.
Maybe it would be to hard to balance the gameplay.
At any rate it would be nice to address the transporation issue without adding guns to the vehicles.-
Or how about vehicles as transportation only
Yeah, that's what I meant sorry... just limit it to the light transport vehicles, as they only have HMGs. (Even a tank without a main gun would still be formidable!)
Unlike tanks, BMPs etc. it's not a one man show for moving and shooting in a Transport. For these to be really damaging they need to be stationary, giving them a big vulnerability.-

It's not really a problem on some maps that are infantry focused right now, Iron Gator and Warlord from the Special Forces expansion. It's not just about being a sniper or a medic.
