to me it would be a lot funner if there were game modes for objective games with either limited vehicles or no vehicles.
Oh, there will be. EA is going to be opening up servers for focused games like this where there will be limited to no vehicles and the ground troops will do a lot of the work.

There may even be some in your server browser currently. If not now, maybe after the patch.

ETA: They don't need to patch to update or open servers...they can do that whenever the frick.

You know why? Because the SOFLAM takes teamwork. You need one class to set it up and use it and another class to use the guided rockets. That will never happen unless you are in a game with a squad that communicates.


so instead of capping objectives or defending them. i'm supposed to hide in a corner and operate a mounted camera to spot tanks, choppers, and jets.

this would surely rack up a bunch of points but doesn't really server a purpose due to the fact that as soon as i blow up their tank/chopper/jet....they respawn at the base to find yet multiple vehicles for them to jump back into.

cool, that little mounted rocket launcher thats usually near the spawns, how does it work?


do you just aim and shoot? or is it heat seeking or anything like that?

there are objective games with no vehicles. when you go to filter servers, select the infantry only option and it will only pull up servers with no vehicles

I'm not trying to flame you, I know exactly what you mean. The whole premise of the game is that everyone on a team compliments everyone else. There's supposed to be roles given. Maybe if you and I are in a squad, we're in charge of spotting and shooting shite down while the other squad is in charge of flanking and the other is in charge of rushing the objective.

But it's flawed because nobody plays like that. It works awesome in theory. But it's just not how people play.

yeh, it's just frustrating for me. cuz i'm trying to find a niche to help my team other than shooting people and capping objectives and i can't yet.

the vehicleless servers do sound promising tho. that fits LESI's style better.

It's because those dice idiots only let you team up with 3 other friends.
