The Fun - Its Gone

[rebb]

After hitting Corporal i somewhat lost a lot of Interest in playing BF2 - heres my personal main reasons :

-
Gaining High Ranks is too hard because of ridiculous Point-Requirements and has no real Benefits anyhow ( one usually unlocks the most favoured Weapons in the first Ranks ).

-
Judging from some Sites out there, gaining higher Medals is an Effort of a LifeTime. I dont play a Game to put 2000 Hours into it just to get some worthless Golden Graphical Gizmo..

-
The Punishment System might be a nice idea - but as usual with any System that works great in Theory - the Idiots tend to break it..

-
Playing Commander is becoming more of a Pain - Preparing a FlagPoint for Capture by Artillery-Striking it, and then seeing a Transport-Helicopter of your own fly right into that and get destroyed is just a joke - oh and of course some Guy in the Helo will punish you for it.

-
The Autobalance System is just... ah well..

ah, it's abrand new game man. it's still fun. sounds like you need to select your servers more carefully. however, most people burn out if they play one game for too long.

take a break!

Change your game style. Join a clan that plays competitively and compete in tournaments, and see where that takes you, =)

I've got 3K points to go for Corporal and I have a feeling I'll take a break point whoring until there's some new maps.

Yeah. I enjoy playing commander, but I issue artillery strikes only when there are no transports or players in the commander's view at medium zoom. I'd like to say they should have less of a spread for the arty, but then it'd be way too abusive.

It just boggles my mind that people get angry and punish after you call our artillery strikes in chat. Sometimes, I call them by name to get them to move and they still don't.

Ah, I love it.

Sometimes the idiots can just ruin the game for you. Play the game how its meant to be played and find a server without any idots

I think the long hours you have to put in for higher rank and honor comes from their view of BF 1942 and how many man hours have been put into that game until this present day. People are still playing 1942. I have to wonder how many hours players dedicated to 1942 have put into that game.

I think EA is looking at the long term aspect of the game and I for one am glad that rank is not easy to attain. The most die hard will someday get high rank and it will separate them from the newcomer down the road.

I personally hate games that cave into customer whining and I hope EA does not do the same. You should not be able to gain everything in a few hours, day or weeks of playing this game and that is what someone like you wants.

exactly. server selection is the SINGLE most important factor for ggs in BF2.

This game isn't a MMORPG. You don't "level up" and get new swords or pretty new hats. The unlockables are not a 'machine gun +12 against foriegners' ... its just a nice little addition to those of us who play alot.

Any game that has friendly fire on is going to be frustrating at times. It's the nature of the beast.

It does get boring whent eh only game mode is Capture the ***

[imported_HorrorBusiness]

It will be fun again once I unlock the Medic kit!

Hehe. This is more of a capture and hold game. Players are asking EA when CTF will be officially added to the map pool. That might actually spice up this game. There seems to be a lot of positive feedback for it on the official forums.

I'm with topic creator. I haven't played in 2 days. Have no interest in booting it up. Its the same game every map, every server. Run around cap flags then they get capped then you run back.

Or you sit there and play D and a whole no one comes.

Or you vehicle whore and after 2 rounds its like "wow how can this be fun, it takes absolutely no skill"

then its jihad jeep time, its fun for about 3 mins, and then you wish you could strap C4 to yourself.

Then maybe some black hawk whoring.... fun for like 1 min... then you realize you cannot die because there is NO teamwork in this game.

Hell i cant think of a game i want to play anymore. They are all the same. nothing original has come out in a long time... its sad....

[MrChris_CJ]

they need to make the commander get points more easily cos it is painfully slow and boring otherwise...
