BF2 was quite "arcadey", 1942 was especially so!

They haven't tried to be anything else.

Yes, quite. But this is not just quite, it's über arcadey. Unlimited ammo, regenerating health, only 3 classes and two of them got bazookas, and when u kill someone there will be those +1000 points messages covering half of ur screen...

BF games have always been and will always be "arcadey". That's what they are.

Interesting, it is nice to hear them getting chances to clarify things as time goes on and show the naysayers they were being premature with their ignorant assumptions. And did anyone else see the humor in the fact Gordon van Dyke (Dutch last name), an American working at DICE, giving an interview in English, subtitled in Dutch? LOL, I did!

Yes, because throwing a "Health" pack at peoples feet to increase their health meter is so f*ing realistic! What you fail to get is everything is about the design and how it delivers perception and what "they" the Designers want players to focus on. To call for realism in a video game is about the dumbest f*ing thing any person can ever say. We look for experiences and stimulation and if we wanted realism we'd go out side and get some!

What makes you think that experiencing the excitement of real war is not an experience? :shakehead:

Granted its not Arma or Americas Army but no BF has never been sold as Arcade(in my view)

Arcade is just going too far,its no doom or counter strike
