Re: Call of Duty worse then BF2??
For me, homogeniety has always been too stiff a price to pay for some e-ranks, e-medals and especially the unpleasant style of gameplay that results from "stat-whores".
Headinjury makes a very good point here. Many in BF2 have forgotten what online gaming was about previously. The ranking system has forced homogenity upon players to the extent that the thought of even slight differences betweens servers has become unthinkable to many.
The norm for pretty much every other game is to allow server admins to run the game anyway they want. As such, many modifications are quickly developed and the game takes on a more dynamic quality. This has definately been the case for the entire CoD series and will be sure to continue with CoD2.
It does seem strange that it was released without cheat protection though but I think activision is a great producer and will be sure to correct that in future patches. They did so with the original CoD so I am not willing to write them off yet. Only from the quality of their patches will I be able to tell if they've gone downhill.
