Looks like the 64 player battles are available only for Conquest.

"Infantry Only" server setting is described:

"Not a fan of vehicles? No problem -- just click the “Infantry Only” box in your server browser when searching for a server game where no attack vehicles will spawn in, only transports."

Oh thank God! Guess I will be playing very little in your servers because I cannot stand helis and tanks. Thanks dice. Thanks for listening.

I love vehicles. Vehicles, aircraft and destruction are what distinguishes battlefield from the rest.

I prefer them. Infantry only can bore me at times.

Infantry only makes it like a cod game boring .. .. vehicles are what make battlefield a BATTLEFIELD ... ... infantry only also means more snipers because now they can't hide in their tanks and helis ..

[Dead...Again]

+1 on having vehicles

[AmazingRedd]

Here is the question to those who have been in alpha. To spawn on someone it said that outdoors you are jumping with a parachute. This to me can lead to the problem on the all infantry maps in 2142.

If someone gets on a building rooftop without a way to get them down easily it becomes extremely annoying and hard to take them out.

The jets and heli's will be able to counter those groups and you know there will be something like that happening... anyone remember apache in bf2 with the sniping carbine on roofs?
