So should I try BF2?

[WolfAlmighty]

Let's not forget the most important aspect of infantry combat in BF2 - the unpassable claymores. They're what turned SF into soggy crap in a knapsack. In BF2142 you can bypass the APMs by crouching or proning, they can be destroyed by other explosives and the Zeller, but in BF2 the only way to get past them is to set them off and hope someone else rezzes you, and on Iron Gator (SF map) that doesn't even work. Forget any map with close-quarters, indoor-fighting like Warlord and Leviathan - gheymore city. Plus the detection and kill radius of them is as large (or larger) than the original APMs in BF2142. Claymores alone make me want to stop playing that game, but insta-prone accuracy and people rolling around all over the battlefield even when they're just 5 feet away from you borders on the ridiculous. Still a fun game, though, despite its (many) shortcomings as everyone else has said the maps are asthetically much more appealing than those of BF2142, but if you're an infantryman at heart, BF2142 is really the better choice for you.

I'd say yes go ahead and give it a try. The game is definitely different than 2142 some say that's a good thing and others say that's a bad thing but I spent 800 hours in that game and didn't get bored.

Wolfgang, you speak wisdom. The claymores are more powerful then supermighty G. What was your favourite gun by the way? Dao-12 or something? :P

[The 13th Raptor]

The DAO 12 was the only gun in BF2 i really liked, i cant count the number of times i walked through several enemy squads and lived. :)

BLAMBLAMBLAMBLAM, ksht ksht ksht ksht. And repeat.

yeh some of those unlocks were class, the DAO, even the jackhammer, the lovely PKM

The G36c had to be thes best unlock as well

I think that the whole G36 series of weapon is plain gay. The C is okay (low damage vs high acc) but the E is overpowered. Fun thing is that I still outscore the G36E nobs with a goddamned P90. Real men use a big tube and a P90 instead of a Gay36.

I used to love my L85, that thing could outsnipe snipers if you found a good position, with the added bonus of full auto for CQ.

[ICE*T]

has anyone played modern comabt on the 360?

The funniest thing for out-sniping a sniper was the PKM (support gun) when it first came out. I would go find a nice comfortable spot overlooking some favorite sniper hangout and would snipe them one after another. Of course we're not talking about headshots here but with 200 rounds in the gun you can easily takeout 5-10 snipers before having to even reload the monster

And of course it got nerfed in a later patch since even many of the snipers had left their trusty sniper rifles at home and picked up the PKM too:laugh:

I like the Jackhammer more. Nothing like rushing into a group of people and holding down left click. BOOMBOOMBOOMBOOMBOOMBOOMBOOM. :)

Yeh the G36e was a dire gun to add tbh, most of the other unlocks were brilliant, L85 was sooo underrated imo

But the game is often simply ruined by Claymores and nade spam and the annoying frikin infantry combat, granted at times it is brilliant, better than 2142 and an awesome experience but more times its an experience that leaves me having a stroke from rage

I have one advice to you friend: Karkand 32 man Infantry Only. Grab a P90 and a noobtoob and kill everything. The tube for mid to long range and for groups (nothing better then killing 3 guys with one shot and then getting called a rocket noob, I am not the one waiting to get an AT rocket in my face XD) ands the almighty P90 for CQC. See, the thing is, EVERYONE expects you to be a medic. Everyone is expecting one of four guns. When you show up with the P90 they insta prone. you jump, prone,. land next to em and blow their head off with the 1200 RPM.

Another good thing: SpecOps. Best kit by far! Use the Carbine on single shot (dump the G36C it kills so slow, the AK74U is best). Single shot carbine = max accuracy, enough to outsnipe Assault Rifles, Sniper Rifles and support guns. Have a group to take care off? Get their attention, run around a corner making sure they see you, and leave some C4 for em. Nothing beats blowing 7 man sky high with one pack of C4....
