Purchased BF2 about a week ago. And after coming off such a fine game as BF1942 & having played hundreds of hours of it I expected amazing gameplay etc...so I install, patch it & start up BF2..
But I was absolutely dissapointed in every aspect of the game. Everything was a severe let down. Planes, helicopters, infantry...the whole thing was just terrible.
-------------------
1st let me start with system requirments... Higher than needed. Textures are bland for the most part & the physics are wack. Sound is really the only good part about bf2. Can you say memory hog? Apprently Bf2 can. maps are smaller than 1942's were & the textures are barely a step up, so for Bf2 I feel no more than 500MB should be needed....But Bf2 being the unoptimized POS it is...what else should I expect eh?
- Dog fights...wow where did the skill go? Anyone whos played Battle @ Britian 1942 map knows how amazing dog fights can be. But after hoping in a MIG-29 & completely dominating everything I was extremely turned off. I'd really hate to see Bf2 pilots play 1942, wouldnt stand much chance. I found myself using the MG on the jet & still raping all the enemy jets. Dont even get me started on the helicopters...
-Infantry, oh god. Nade much? Really its pretty sad. Some guys just sit in 1 spot throwing ammo bags down & nade like there life depends on it. 2ndly has Bf2 ever heard of a thing called hit detection? ya its where bullets actually hit your target...apprently Bf2 has never heard of it. Infantry Only? Whats this mode for? The special ed kids who cant avoid a tank? IO is a waste of time....IO is for point whores & stat padders.
- Maps. Horrible variety. All the city maps felt the same & the PLA maps were almost identicle minus songhua. Alot of them are extremely laggy at certain points.
- Weapon selection is decent. I cant complain about this, but a few of the weapons are ridiculously overpowered. The PKM, what is this thing? It might as well be a sniper rifle minus the scope. Another annoying problrm are snipers. In 1942 there are snipers but there never whored...I cant say the same for BF2. Seriously for every 10 players in the server 8 are snipers.
Another thing...could sniping in Bf2 possibly be any less skillful? What happen to the scope moving as you breathe? Seriously any idiot can own with a sniper rifle... I'd like to see some of these BF2 snipers play 1942.
I could go on & on about Bf2's faults...but the list is far to long...I see the Battlefield series going down the tubes...I really dread seing what the next BF game will be.
