Over the past year of Battlefield 2. New patches have come out and EA and Dice has changed a lot of things some for the good and some for the bad.
Some of the things I am not happy about as it contradicts the fact it is modern combat simulation.
Firstly: the some weapons in the game are amazingly underpowered. For example my favorite kit in the game is support whilst I use a machine gun, this weapon in real life would cut infantry in half even with amour, although I find if I open fire on a group if infantry whilst prone it seems to take a lot of shots to kill and you must aim 'quite' accurately to wipe them out if you can. Although obviously it is a close to medium range weapon so I am not expecting a automatic sniper lol but the PKM fired one shot at a time is very accurate. This under power occurs to many of the weapons in my opinion. As it will make people work more as a squad to stay alive.
You could say that if machine guns are that accurate and powerful to cut people in half, everyone would be support and the game would have no point to it. Well the disadvantage in real life, support guns are very heavy, very bulky and with all of that ammo to use and fire it does not make you so versatile. what I would like to see in support is that make the weapons at least semi realistic, but to contradict you could slow the player down (within reason so, not as slow as crawling prone lol.)
Secondly: is the accuracy of some of the weapons for example the L85A1, the medic unlock. This weapon in real life is now called the SA80 A2 the L85A1 is one of the first versions of the rifle (the rifle has been updated due to the fact the plastic on the rifle, melted when cammo cream was placed on it etc. But the accuracy point will still stand as it has not changed) lol. This in real life it one on the most accurate assault rifles in the world, although when in the game I am running down a road and see a enemy and the M16 is more accurate and that does not have a susat scope. I open fire in bursts; I need to waste a full mag on them. That does not sound like the most accurate weapon to me.
Thirdly: is the issue with the delay with going prone and crouching that has come out in patch 1.4. It is not realistic, if you came under fire the first thing you would do is hit the dirt as fast as you can, (and it is possible before you say you can’t with all that amour and the heavy rifles etc.) Solders in the army are at peak fitness they are not old men that take half of an hour to get up of the floor.
4: In the new 1.4 where you can become infantry only. I would like to see at least just cars to speed up travel they are not a great threat, you can easily blow up the car, also I have many of times flanked the gunner whilst he was killing my friend put my rifle in single shot and simply killed him. (There is also some discussion in battlefield 2 pod cast episode 14 about this.)
Finally: Is the distance of the C4 toss. You should be able to see a tank rumbling down to road whilst you are hiding, chuck some C4 out lay a trap and BANG. That was good in the earlier patches. Yes some people will abuse it again by throwing C4s over walls and killing a whole squad getting a flag. But again if you all worked as a team (VOIP is a must have for squads.) you would see him and a few shots he is not a threat.
Please write back on your comments if you think I am some noob complaining, or you agree with me.
