BF2 ****es me off and it's not because i suck or anything. give me a decent server/team/squad/jet/vehicle (notice all the variables that come into play) and i'll be at the top of the list. but more often than not i have to put up with idiots on every server that i goto. like the last night for instance, i open up BF2 and i am greeted with those infamous and pretentious logos. of course they cannot be removed because junkbuster kicks you for modifying files. so i get through all that drudgery and login. god how i love seeing that "connecting to authentication servers" message frozen on my screen for 20 seconds. then i go watch some grass growing on the lawn as the server browser takes its time like a woman at the mall. OMG a 24/7 gulf of oman server, and by the looks of the MOTD, the admins mean business!
i join MEC and goto the airstrip. someone is in the attack chopper so i ask for a ride and run over to it. the guy says 'no sir' and takes off even though he has no gunner. but no worries, a USMC jet blew him out of the sky before he even got to the hotel anyway. so i go get a jet that just popped up and an anti tank guy on my team blows it up so i can't get it. then he gets in a tank and blows me up and takes the next jet that pops up. then he gets bombed by the other team that's dominating the air, then i go get the jet again and 3-4 idiots are sitting under my jet so i can run them over, which i do and end up getting blown off the runaway anyway because here comes another bomber. then i respawn and decide to go hop in the tank that's been sitting there the whole game right when the first artillery shell hits as jets, APC's, tanks and my own teams stolen chopper are raping our base because my team is too stupid to take care of our other bases(even though we still own them!). i almost forgot about our commander. yea, you can see him doing barrel rolls in the sky from time to time. he's a damn good pilot.
well i decide to spawn at another base and play some D but as soon as i spawn i get mowed down by the APC that's probably been sitting in the palm trees throughout the game. i spawn in another base near it that is empty, thankfully. so i decide to carbomb him with my trusty dune buggy only to be told by the admin (whom was apparently an occupant in the APC) that carbombing is against the rules. i spawn at the strip again and lo and behold there's my MiG! i take off and decide to do bombing runs at their airbase.....BUT!!! i am mysteriously ejected from the jet. i also have the luxury of seeing my mig somehow being controlled as i parachute down to ground. couple seconds later an admin anonymously says that only he could fly the jet and that i will be banned if i take it again. i check my radar and i see a big star zooming across the map again.
so then i get sick of trying to lonewolf and i decide to join a squad for a fun evening of teamplay, right? wrong. i spawn on the squad leader only to find that he spawned at the airstrip right near the jet which he took off in the sky with and left me and the other 4 guys in my squad with nothing to do. so i check the squad list to get a better squad and i find one that's all filled up with the same clan members and i join, knowing that some great gameplay is finally within reach, i become medic to help my team, and a couple secs later i am booted from the server. why you ask? because it turns out that the clan adminned the server and they were mad that i took up a slot in their squad when they were waiting for another member. so of course i tell them how much i love them after hearing this ridiculous explanation and get banned from another excellent battlefield 2 server.
THEN......! i wait for the ridiculously buggy and laggy server browser to load up so i can join another server. i finally find a decent wake island server with 32 people so i instantly join it and breath a sigh of relief as i see all the strict rules that are listed in the motd. i've found a damn good server! so i go and get my zig-zags out and start rolling while i wait for BF2 to age like wine. i come back to the my PC 10 mins later and a very pretty window has popped up that says the server has reserved slots and i'm not invited to the party. i finally had enough so i kill BF2 and open up Steam.
all in all, i spent atleast an hour on BF2 and i didn't have a single moment of fun. this isn't just one night, or the first, second, last time that this has happened to me. this is what me and i am sure other players experience in BF2 everytime they click their BF2 icon. no one can deny that this is the reality of BF2 pubbing at the moment. before anyone says it, i don't care for BF2 clan matches period. been there done that and i didn't like it. being in a clan in any game feels more like a job as a matter of fact. it's also extremely hard to find a decent server to be a regular on since the server browser sucks balls and the vast majority of servers are a carbon copy of the one i just mentioned anyway.
