Never really had a proper rant before so here goes
After months of playing BF2, and mumbling to mysefl all the problems, and sorting them out in my head, i have come to terms with the reasons for some of the things that dissapoint most in BF2.
But one thing i long for in this great game, is some commands that make sense.
Now, i`m not entirley unhappy with them as they are, such qutoes as "i need a ride" and the following medic and ammo ones etc, make sense and are useful. But they lack some of the major comands needed for a tactical shooter.
Firstly, "you take point", sorry who, who takes point. Its the same as standing in the penguin enclosure at your local zoo and shouting "who wants this fish". Alot of confused hopeful faces but no response. "i`ll take point", now that makes sense, or over squad comands. Example, a squad moves towards a point, one player commands "Stay here" followed by "i`ll take point", so he can scout ahead, followed by an "area clear", signalling them to move forward, personally, this would make this a much more enjoyable game.
A great example of this sort of command system is Medal Of Honour, in fact they may have gone the other way, with a few to many commands, but they have such things as "Attack the left flank", i`ll cover you". This sort thing thing in my opinion would be a god send to the BF2 sqauds, and a much more satisfying experience overall, and it would only take EA and extra 40 - 50 MB to add it. I know they wont even bother looking at this, but i really think it needed bringing up.
MAKE BF2 A MORE TACTICAL EXPERIENCE, the games great anyway, MAKE IT BETTER!
