BF2 now fails in its purpose for me!

[baggygreen]

I use games as a way to have a bit of fun and to get away from other stuff, take it off my mind etc. I can get immersed in BF2 and forget everything ele for a while. But not any more! Some people here know my partner left me recently, so of course i turned to BF2 more, to get my mind off it. it worked for a little bit, but now its failing me! i never thought a game would become unfun to play, i get owned now, i cant hit a simple target, and im just losing interest! its terrible!!!!!

sigh.

I'll tell you what my freshman year Sociology teacher told me at the end of my first college class - it was one of the best bits of advice I ever received.

"Take a walk."

I'm sorry to hear that your partner left and it sounds as though you're having a rough trot atm. Don't feel bad, just leave it for a couple of days and then try and have another go.

A good remedy for not hitting targets is to play SP for a while against bots which is good for getting your confidence back when you're feeling down.

correct.. taking a walk is very helpful.. I have a friend who just got trashed by his girlfriend. Instead of getting krunk and doing stupid crap, he takes walks now and then to relieve stress and just get his mind of of things..

I think another way that may help you is to hang out with some friends... Go out every weekend with them or something.. Go play some pool, go bowling, whatever makes you happy.. or you could create your own server and have your friends join it from their homes.. yes, i did try it and it works quite well.. You can create a lan game and have your friends join you without even having to be in your house.. You can have fun by turning FF off and blowing each other up, screwing with the vehicles and just have a blast... good stuff.

Your'ne not playing well cause yr still upset with yr partner leaving you. Do something else to take yr mind off them ,when you've got over it come back to BF2- you will play well again:). Video games are not a good release to get over separation do a sociable thing like sex (only j/k)

do somthing new, somthing you always thought of doing but never thought you had the time or the guts! Just get out, too much of one thing can be bad, or you lost intest in killing stuff with guns, i suggest a RPG or MMO, thoes can really take your mind away, just watch http://www.purepwnage.com/

Whew... don't you love the way the community supports you? Especially some such person named... *ahem.* Best of luck to you, nonetheless. I hope things get better.

Razor's advice is solid

I played Star Wars Galaxys a long time and you would not believe how immersive it is!

If the game don't do it anymore for you find a new game.. same goes for a grrrlfriend I guess

Well, I've been taking a sh*t twice today. Normally I do it ~once a day, but now it's changed. I think the basic structure of my s*it has been pretty 'fluid' today whereas normally, it's pretty 'solid'. The smell has been pretty awfull. I'm not that worried, though. I think that this is just somekind of temporary state that I'm going through.

Games are made for fun, having fun makes you forget some other things etc...

But in case of real problems, like your wife loosing etc... will bring your fun factor down, this brings down your intrest in it and this brings you beeing good down
