What EAUK sent to dice
Battlefield 2 Issues
Hit boxes and hit detection seems unrealistic. Close range vehicular combat seems poor as bullets seem to miss from a small distance away. The F35 is a key example of this.
Anti-Aircraft weapons seem weak against aircraft allowing the pilots to rule the maps.
Cheats and hacks are a common problem that is ruining the game for new and old gamers alike.
Jets are too overpowered in the game. The J10 being a prime example of this.
Players feel BF2 has been completely dropped after the BF2142 release and are disappointed by this.
Far too many patches and the whole patch situation.
Lag spikes kick in randomly and the source of the problem does not appear to be hardware related.
Sometimes upon joining a server a player’s rank disappears or squad options don’t respond correctly/at all.
Karkand Hotel and Market, Mashtur South Gas, Jalalabad rocks, Wake Airfield, and Warlord Palace have building mesh errors that allow entry into the buildings.
The Supply Crate command does not always produce a crate but the option disappears.
The punish system is misused by players.
Missiles not locking on correctly; notably this is mostly the Anti-Aircraft guns.
The ranking system rewards individuals rather than team work.
When a player goes prone they can shoot instantly. A delay needs to be implemented for realism purposes.
The random bullet deviation makes weapons feel weak and pointless as an entire round aimed directly at a player does not always kill them.
Sniper rifles tend to zoom out and then back in after the player has zoomed in.
Selected spawn points do not always work or become unselected.
Spawn camping becomes a bit problem in the game as when players are limited to one location the spawn points can easily be watched.
Switching weapons, particularly between C4 and detonator, doesn’t always work and is slow.
Controls for left handed players are difficult to adjust keys for only for them to be reset randomly or with every new patch.
The game crashes when a Kit is picked up. This has been apparent since the 1.4 patch.
There are issues when creating a squad that won’t allow you to create a squad or you are limited to one. The only way around this is to restart the server.
Players bunny hopping creates unrealistic game play and with added lag can make it difficult to play.
The favorites in the server browser disappear when ‘refresh’ is used.
The Blackhawk has been labeled “useless” after being changed in recent patches.
Whilst the ranking system is a nice edition it takes away the team work side of the game as it provides less points.
The throwing distance of C4 packs for Special Forces makes it much more difficult to take out tanks.
The core game Battlefield 2 was working 100% before expansions were released.
Battlefield 2 Improvement Suggestions
An auto balance option would help to even out game play.
The stamina for players should be increased.
Auto-balance should affect players that aren’t currently in a squad before affecting those in squads.
It should be possible to map the key pad + sign.
Dual core CPU support.
The effects of the in game graphics options should be better explained.
Ranked servers should be able to support custom made maps.
Map load times should be improved as they have been in BF2142.
Similarly, the server browser should be faster and generally as good as the one in BF2142.
The cross hairs on guns should be a bit more accurate.
Players should be able to pick up their own claymores to re-use them.
Mod tools need to be improved to better assist the mod teams.
Patches should always be preceded by an open beta to find problems before final release.
A buddy list system.
Volume control for VOIP.
The game should remember what class and weapon you previously chose when you start a new map on the same server. It would also help if it remembered the mini map zoom settings.
Chat should be available post match to help relieve tension and improve communication between team members.
Server support for up to 128 players.
Claymores should be destroyable.
The assault class feels weak in comparison to other classes.
Players shouldn’t be able to block jets/choppers and then punish for the team kill.
More of an automated system for dealing with padding – some people have impossible scores but still need manual reporting.
Automatic map downloads (ideally with http redirect support so as not to use game server bandwidth) for servers with different maps.
Someone hit with a headshot should not be revive-able. It’s unrealistic that someone shot in the head can be revived.
The parachute should open much quicker and on a single press of the 9 button.
The boats should be quicker.
Battlefield 2 High Points
The graphics and sounds create a wonderful player experience.
The maps are well thought out and well designed.
The implementation of squads brings team work to the game in a way that hadn’t been done before.
The artillery system is done well and much better than in BF1942
Ranks/awards make the game more enjoyable and increase the desire to play for longer.
Players like being able to play on passworded servers with global unlocks.
The commander screen and options bring a new level of game play to the Battlefield series.
The music in the loading screens makes the long loading time a bit more bearable.
Voice over IP really helps improve teamwork.
The game is fairly well balanced although various patches did change this at times.
The infantry only mode is something players definitely appreciated.
Being able to revive players and supply them with ammo is a nice feature.
The game is a nice, fast paced shooter.
