My suggestion on how to improve BF2

[GrossKopf]

I've always said the ranking system was a huge mistake on EA's part. Most BF2 players are stat whores that only care about getting points, ranks and awards. Ranked BF2 play doesn't reward teamplay. BF2142 changed this.

I would like to see EA change BF2's ranking system to be similar to BF2142's. Give players bonuses for following squad leader's orders. Give squad leader's bonuses for following commander's orders and give commander's bonuses when the squads follow their commands. Give field unlocks. These suggestions aren't in BF2142, but I think it would be another squad promoting tool... make it so anyone in a squad doesn't see the UAV or spotted enemy units on the map. It would just be another incentive for players to join a squad. Also, require a squad to be a certian number of players before commander's assets can be requested.

All these bonuses are things that are built into BF2142 and I think it promotes teamplay, because you are actually rewarded for playing as a team. This is the only thing that *I* feel would validate the whole ranking system in my mind and only because it would promote teamplay. I wouldn't care about getting more points as a result of this. Just look at my stats and you'll see that.. took me a year or so to get 1 rank because the limited time I had to play BF2 I spent playing mods. :)

Re: My suggestion on how to improve BF2

Battlefield 2 is almost two years old now, changing the system is not something EA wants to put work into. However, I do agree. I feel that the Battlefield 2142 ranking system is much more appropiate to persistive stats. I have come across more incidents of teamwork in BF2142 then in BF2. Let me add something though, its not just the stat system that has caused this increase in teamplay, its also the maps and the vehicles. Disadvantages are hard to come by, and no vehicle is so powerful that players will teamkill for it. Its a series of design features coming together to make it what it is. If only BF2142 had come first.:hmm:

My suggestion to create more teamwork? Save up some cash and get yourself ready for Frontlines: Fuel of War. No persistive stat system.

Re: My suggestion on how to improve BF2

Just because it means working as a team, teamwork is not always the best idea of all. We all have different moods, sometimes we want to have a laugh while going solo or lonewolf, sometimes we want to teamwork.

This thing called "teamwork" has become a word that everyone believes is good and the correct always. BF2 was designed to allow teamwork and co-operation, but it is not always a requirement *imho*.

My suggestion is to revert to 1.12... and that's it.

BF2 now - is the way its gonna be forever. We might get another small patch, but EA will not change BF2 in a big way now.
Good ideas but it will never happen............. until BF3 MAYBE

No.. but something everyone can do is reinstall BF2 and have 2 versions... 1.12 and current (by copying their BF2 folder).

Agreed that would be fun. I can just see everyone racing for the Blakhawk instead of the jets and attack choppers :)

2142 sucks you have to unlock almost everything in the next game your probably going have to start out punching people to death till you unlock a knife and work your way up the ladder.

**** no I would be going for the attack chopper.. 800m ftw.. that would actually put some skill into chopper battles... because it's not a "range war".

If you can't see the enemy, you can't run.

I've seen teamwork win more battles than lose....

BF3 aka Battlefield Mars.. Takes place during the great space war of 2342.

No.. but something everyone can do is reinstall BF2 and have 2 versions... 1.12 and current (by copying their BF2 folder).

What's so special about 1.12?

In 1.12 everything is stable, wake is added a patch ago, you have free movement, you can C4 toss, no tier 2 unlocks, the OLD BH, old missles (aka J-10 isn't overpowered), camera missles have 800m and there are 16 hydras....etc etc... it's just SO much more fun. Oh and back then I could run everything on high w/ 4x AA and get 40-99 FPS... now I am forced to run medium w/ no AA.


The community has nerfed this game down to nothing and it's extremely repetitive.. It's just alot more fun..
