BF2 is now a 'slow' game...

Re: BF2 is now a 'slow' game...

Without being offensive, and not trying to start a flame, but have you guys considered it may just be slower because not everyone has patched yet? And some have (sadly) been screwed, so the playing community has been reduced for a while.

Ahmen brother....

A sniper squad? ffs, I have maybe 14 hrs with that kit lol, most spent running as fast as I can for a helo.

The particular person I was playing with is an infantry whore like myself. With me as Assualt, and him Medic, we can roll full squads, but thanks EA, won't be able to cycle and do so

no tanks me and my buddys play infrantry matches all the time.

Err, I think you're missing the point. The size of the community or lack of patched servers have nothing to do with it. The gameplay has been changed. Players are now spread out over the map because a dead squadleader has to go back to a flag rather than cycling on his squadmates. More importantly, new players joining a server can't start 'where the action is' by joining a squad straightway. Once again, in the great "BF patch unintended consequences" list, its this that has slowed the game down, rather than the loss of squad hopping or squad cycling (which was only ever done by a minority).

All we can do is not to by any EA/DICE product in future and not to pay for ranked servers ... everything else is futile.

It was a 64 Map of Karkand, and it was FULL. The game was horrifically slow. Now armor rules that map with ease since they are SOOO much faster than everyone else now. The squad hopping allowed you to somewhat keep up with armor.

Re: BF2 is now a 'slow' game...

I have yet to see the US take a flag for more then a couple minutes on Karkand with the new patch....

They'll take the hotel, and lose it right quick. And forget trying to take another flag, by the time you get there (assuming you do), either your SL is dead or the enemy is just waiting for you in armor.

The game has slowed to a snails pace, with no way to get around it. The SL "fix" has broken gameplay.

Re: BF2 is now a 'slow' game...

Which is why I like the idea have squad hopping a SERVER SIDE option.
Currently, there is ZERO benefit to being a SL.

Why doesn't the SL get points for what his squad does? (Like the commander points)

That's a good question my friend, lets hope EA/Dice address that issue.

I have to polietly disagree with the slowing the game down theory... last night was like a SWARM of humvees .... those things were everywhere!

That assumes that your server is using the airdop tool AND allows cars...

This is based upon one SINGLE factor....the COMMANDER. The entire game speed being controlled by 1 person is complete crap.

Re: BF2 is now a 'slow' game...

aw squad hopping is removed

i love it thank you!

Re: BF2 is now a 'slow' game...

Although I don't like the fact that it was removed, we will all grow accustomed it sooner or later...we'll find ways for that to not affect us.

Re: BF2 is now a 'slow' game...

Surely the point is not to die in the first place? Why should you get two or more loads of full health to wear down one guy?

Re: BF2 is now a 'slow' game...

Try playing US on Karkand sometime against a MEC team that is only 'decent'. Good luck.

i don't play karkand that much, and I've only played as US on that map once but it seemed like as long as the squad leader was playing smart and being cautious, we were able to secure a rear-flag.

the "problem" with the new squad system is that the commander gets the scan ability and sees all the enemies on the map.

if we could be more sneaky, i doubt there would be as many complaints.
