the things that changed from start to now in BF2

[rombaft]

Actualy when you think about it, many things have changed and some drasticly, it's no ranting, just some thing I remember , if you want to ad some, go ahead .

THE BLACK HAWK .
- WAS : the undistputed king of the air, an almost undestroable gunship, mostly filled with the perfect team (engineer, medic, support in it) , the miniguns on it where the nightmare of infantry, they destroyed APC's in no time, caped flags in 2 sec .
- IS NOW : a flying death trap, armor is weak, can't be repaired as fast anymore, miniguns are replaced by BB guns, also magnet for improved AA.

Attack choppers :
- WAS : freaking airpower, had 14misiles on board, good armor, AA couyld be avoided always with a fine pilot, TV misiles took out stuff at the other side of the map
- IS NOW : 8misiles on board, armor is weaker, AA's favborite target, TV misles range is shorter now


Anti Air :
- WAS : unable to hit anything flying, or maybe sometimes you could hit a chopper with it or take down a friendly chopper , taking down a jet with it had about the same chance of winning the lotery.
- IS NOW : get in, don't aim, just shoot, you get a hit, even if the misile has to take a turn of 90 degrees, it will do it.


Suport Weapons :
- WAS : only prone you maybe could hit something on medium distance, standing up you couldn't hit an elephant even if he was standing in front of you
- IS NOW : prone it has become a automated sniper rifle with a 100-200 bullet clip

The Battlefield :
- WAS : some kind of animal park , because it seemed to be crowded with bunnys and dolphins
- IS NOW : well, at least there isn't the dolphin diving anymore


The ranks :
- WAS : it used to take about 6 months playing to reach some sergeant rank and get some unlocks
- IS NOW : with some effort you reach a sergeant rank in a week and after playing for some months, you got all unlocks and moved up like 10 ranks.


There are many more things that have changed , small things, big things, but I don't remember them all anymore, one thing is a fact, BF2 was a whole diffirence when it came out then it is now , all togheter I think it has improved, not perfected, but improved

It's crazy how much BF2 has changed since v1.0. I wonder if any other game has had its gameplay mechanics tweaked as much as BF2.

Funny enough, this truly isnt a rant, and it is right. Things have changed. Some good. Some not so good. I dont know of too many games that have changed this much over the first 12 months. And still more to come :laugh:

How about actually being able to hit something. Pre 1.2 every1 can remember have their sites on an enemies back only to miss.

Assault:
WAS - fun to play and a lot of people played it
NOW - rarely played due to it's...."inadequicies". Only for G3 lovers now.

lol, don't get me wrong, I don't find everything good, some things they nerfed to much or changed where it's shouldn't have changed, but all together, the game is improved .

@junglemaster , this is indeed not a rant at all, it are just some things how they are .


and yes, BF2 has changed bit time since 1.0 , there aren't many games who have changed so much at such a short period , but at the other side, not many games have so many features and stuff in it as BF2 wich makes it less harder to balance a game .

Re: the things that changed from start to now in BF2

Most games weren't released in near beta form and didn't require as many changes

The game, as it stands now, is the best it's been so far.

Most obviousl change....

Out of the box BF2 = No Wake Island 2007

Pre 1.2: Hide behind fences only to be blown away by c4 magically thrown over the fence...see someone far off on a hill jumping up and down, 3 seconds later your dead from a GL

Post 1.2:C4 is barely used, if not for spawn camping...see someone far off on a hill instead of a GL its an L96A1 to the head (pardon me thats post 1.21, correct?)
