Why can't any games after Bf2 capture the fun that Bf2 is or was?

TBH BC2 hit detection sucks, you can spray 10 feet behind someone and kill them I much prefer BF2 really small hit boxes, which actually required some good aiming to kill an enemy. So many times I take cover just to be killed by bullets shot at me 2 seconds ago, that never happen in BF2.

Game companies are trying to appeal to a broader gaming community making games really easy to be decent at, and reducing the learning curve to a minimum. They want as many noobs as possible to spend money on the game.

Speaking of which, I'm close to getting all the time in for my class veteran badges, only if my desktop wasn't out of commission and BF2 would run on it.

B-b-b-but if a single soldier can't take out a tank, the tank's over powered, even if the player is a sniper.

The problem is not a total pussyfication but a total casualisation.

Which is exactly the same thing.

I blame all of this on total pussyfication of games. There needs to be an immersion factor. You dont get this when you can stand toe to toe against another player using a force multiplier, which was the point of vehicles in the first place. When poor players started complaining about balance, everyone flipped out and now we have equality. I hope that someday someone will realize this and get back to the roots of gaming, which is fun and playing with toys you cant play with in real life. Until then, Im perfectly satisfied with 6+ year old multiplayer games.

Yeaa, I agree.

I wouldn't expect anything from BF3, or any of the next big titles.

The general trend with all the bigger companies are focusing on a console game then PC being an afterthought.

I too have found this true. BF2 was the only game I have played and still played 3 years later. I tried BC2, COD, but it's always BF I come back too in the end. Hopefully BF3 can capture it again

I think squads were way better in 2142. By adding points for doing things with your squad and near squad orders, it tricked some people into actually working as a team. Some people can never be saved, but some will do anything for more points, including teamwork.

True. something i also loved from bf2142 and noticed at the beggining of the game where the animations they did, like raising theyr arm when saying "I need ammo" or pointing to the front when saying "go go go" , that added a lot to the squad experience

i think what bf2 had that was the greatest thing ever was the squad system with one man as the squad leader. the single squad leader as the only mobile spawn point really put importance on teamwork. the best games of my life have been where it was my assigned duty to either keep the squad leader alive or to run in as point man in front of the SL so clear out enemies for him.

i played alot of sharqui peninsula because IMO it was and is the best map ever created. but all of the bf2 maps were good because of their diversity. there were maps of jungle, desert, urban, swamp, and mountainous, and everyone got to play where they wanted. with BC2 there are 3 types of maps and they get old rather quickly. the size of the maps really opened up the possibilities as to what your were going to do that game.

the hope for bf3 for me is very low. what crushed me about bf2 is that we were promised 124 people on a server but that was reduced. then BC2 was reduced to 32. i think BF3 will be 32 or at the most 48, but it will still be a console port.

i will add however, that BC2 did have some improvements over bf2 in the way of destructible environments, less grenades, no prone, and more weapons.
