Only the default (TGN Light) theme for now. Dark them is also coming back soon. Then CSN. Then Wrestlin' Nation. A lot of WIP stuff right now. There are a couple of things still not working either. Sorry.
BF42 is so much more fun. Nobody is a jerk really, no issues, no crap, none of the things we deal with in BF2. I blame it all on rank.
You don't remember people parking vehicles on runways, people jumping out of jeeps at high speed just to kill you without getting them a TK, noobs entering two man artillery tankers just to drive them off cliffs, bigger noobs using the superman exploits and flying all around the map to cap flags, idiots killing each other at airstrips, point whore noobs who killed you for vehicles, etc...
It's the same ****, nothing has changed, people are still the same. To say BF42 had less retards than BF2 is to say the internet has less retards than it did four years ago. Which we all know is false.

^^ Definatley agree. People remember BF42 as if it was some online utopia where everyone got along, while the game was tons of fun, there were still a lot of idiots. It's the anonymous nature of online play.
I mainly played on ea83 liberation of canne and there was large group of regulars there and later when officaly ea servers disapeared a clan took over it, only ever the occasional smaktard there who didnt last long. I also played on TAW battle of britian I remember daily a jerk would show up and pull the tking by jeep raming into ur bomber thing but he was usually delt with in short order. I played a few other servers that i dont remember the names of one was the buldge map where the worst you had to worry about was being spawn camped but heck that was easy enough to take care of, and many may not have been aware there was stats for bf42 i used to look mine up all the time cause i wanted to see my ranking on certain servers, us regs would sorta compete to be the top gun of those servers...
My guess is bf42 attracted a certain type of player and bf2 came out at a time when cs and a few other games where waining and thus an influx of these style of players joined bf2....changing the dynamics of the bf community, and now to please them we will be getting bf2142 which to me is sacrilage LoL
It was as bad - I never flew in it and I continue that habit as I fear my team mates near them. Bunny hopping wasn't as bad as you didnt go so high, and prone didnt give you any odd animations. Other than that same old, same old.
Worse still people spawn camped despite the fact there was no leaderboards!
I mainly played a deathmatch omaha beach (BUGS) server, so i didn't have to load all the time and have some intence action. It was absolutely full with bunnyhoppers, but it really wasn't an issue there. I didn't even know it was a bad thing. Me myself wasn't all that good at it but I just took it as part of the game.
It seemed slower also back then, weapons less deadly.
BF42/DC/BFV all had their share of hoppers and divers, that has existed in almost any fps game out there for the most part, with the exception of games that only let you crouch lol.
I never really cared if someone jumped or dove when I played, if I ran into too many of them, I just put more distance between myself and them and that pretty much made that stuff useless. If I was in a cqb type of map (berlin, stalingrad, basrah edge and nites) I just grabbed a shotty and let the spread do the work.
And the one guy was right, there were plenty of lamers that would take run their vehicle into your plane and bail at the last second if you got it before them. Good thing was, that meant they had to wait for it to respawn and you could tk them back for it, still works that way in BF2 lol. That and the occasional smacktard that would grab a shilka or vulcan and use it to tk his own team.
