    BF2 was made to be arcade, the developers said that themselves.

          Yes, very good question, but I would have to say its got a lil bit of everything. FPS, arcade but also a lil driving, flight simmish (helis and jets), and perhaps strategy maybe for commander? Just a thought.

            98% arcade if you think this is a sim you must of done ALOT of LSD or ate paint chips as a child first of all they have the jackhammer in the game a gun that was never actually made, also none of the guns really have reality based traits but you can also factor in the fact that all the soldiers are NBA/MLBA players jumping 6 feet in the air while throwing a nade 200 meters then falling strait to your chest while shooting with pinpoint acuracy does not scream SIM. BF1942 was far more sim then bf2 (not saying 1942 was a sim but probally 75-80% arcade) the series is moving towards UT/Quake style of play hopefully the mods can bring it back from that craptastical nightmare of twitch style gameplay but I hold very little hope for the future of the series.

              Before all the NOOB-Patches, i would say Sim! But now it is more of an Arcade game!

              I'm still hopful that EA/Dice will return the game to what it once was! An Advanced FPS game for the Advanced Gamers!

                Arcade. If this was a Tactical shooter or some sort of war simulation, just getting hit with 1 bullet would have a good chance to put you down and I'm not talking about a headshot. Not to mention when in real life have ya ever seen a guy with endless ammo running around throwing ammo packs everywhere, or getting health back from a magical pouch that a medic hands ya. Or being revived after 30 rounds to the chest and being back at full health.

                    It's an arcade - no question about that. The realism added is just enough to not compromise the entertainment factor. Simulators are not giving you this amount of action.

                      From an arcade gamers point of view thats true. Everything in a sim is action though to simers, as you might know...:)

                          It's an arcade FPS with cosmetic realism.

                              post 1.2 I'd have to say it's gotten a touch more realistic, however yes it ain't no sim or tactical shooter. The main thing it's totally missing is LEAN. I'm glad they got rid of the jump and shooting, something that no tactical shooter allows. Also since the planes and choppers lost some armour, and now have to actually worry about AA, and flak from the ground I'd say it's alot more realistic for them. Now planes and choppers have to use cover, fly low to avoid detection by AA.

                              In my mind, and from what I'm seeing in most games, it feels more realistic then ever before. I've been cut off from reviving team mates, support guys properly set up can actaully cover a area, infantry rushes on all maps are happening more and more, armour columns, even chopper and plane formations, even for people that aren't in a clan. Also the lack of C4 chuckers, and jumping and shooting tubers is what made a big difference for me.
