I admit it - I miss squad hopping
I miss the fact that I could get right back in the action without having to trek from a flag or hope against the odds that there might be a spare vehicle lying at the main base
I miss being able to see a squadleader alone in an Attack chopper or bomber jet and spawn on him in mid flight to continue the fight as a deadly team
I miss being able to cycle the squad leader so that the combat was always on the frontline.
I actually miss the challenge of overcoming an entire squad before they respawned on their squad leader.
I miss the coordination and teamwork required to stay in the field as much as possible without taking regular trips back to the rear base miles from the action.
It strikes me as odd that this so-called exploit that was so central and benficial to the fast paced warfare on speed gameplay of BF2 was removed at all. I want to be constantly in the action on any map not having to rely on that mess of a map Karkand for constant action. That is not possible any more. And it hurts. Exploit or not it defined and made combat so much more fast paced. Instant action. Being with your squad at all times. Uniting on a flag to cap it faster.
It's been a good few weeks since 1.3 changed this and all in all it has hurt gameplay. You spend more time walking now than shooting rather than the other way round unless you get a squadleader who is an incredible player. An incredible player - one who combines longetivity with being always in the right place - too many times I have had squad leaders with great scores who are always alive miles from where they should be attacking or else constantly lying horizontal.
With DICE it is always the team suggestions that nerf the game - there is no visionary behind the game which saddens me. The team compromise where an individual would dictate the way the game should be.
I know that clans hurt the gameplay by truly exploiting the squad hopping but clanners are never the majority and their competitions should not affect the way the game is played by the majority. Besides all that was needed to fix teams winning matches with negative kdrs was to make it impossible to join a squad if you suicide. That is all that was needed - one simple thing.
I don't know. In the end we are stuck with what was pointed out by the community as a bad thing. How any of you can be optimistic about the open beta when DICE never listen properly is beyond me. The mods would be well advised to revert back to the way things were - when men were men and the gameplay of bf2 wasn't as artificially restricted as it has become...
