used to be more fun when i was an average player, and played on the same servers and got along with everyone and it was a real challenge and competitive.. Nowa days don't play with anyone from back in the day, so it's not as fun. Owning noobs just gets tedious. I probably wont play it again any more tbh, my PC just fails.
I miss the days when I played with a bunch of friends and a 2 KDR was win. I'm nearing the end of bf2 pubs as well I think.

Yea haha i remember the days. Playing with you and...whoever else that was (i canny remember) is what would keep me playing, just shit like that is wicked. But my pc is just unreliable. i was playing a friendly scrim for a friends clan and my pc crashed half way through. What a joke.

i enjoy it more now, as i run round i think "im one of the best snipers on here, dont be afraid to expose myself whilst i dragshot" etc, whereas when i first played it, i got in a jet, did a loop in the air, and crashed.

Yes and No.

It is still the best FPS there is (tied with 1942), it offers a great combination of infantry and vehicle based fighting in a semi relistic but still arcade enough fashion to be fast past and fun. And continues to be fun because I'm better, I usually win most infantry encounters so am alive a lot more to enjoy playing and getting kills and I love to fly, which I sucked at it before. Nothing is more rewarding then getting into the air and dominating for a round.

But... and this is a HUGE BUT!

The Game play problems, the frequent 'glitches' like double scoping, auto proning when trying to stand up, bad hit rego, TV guided and laser guided missile glitches, AA missiles hitting friendlies, nades not exploding, med/ammo bags falling through the floor and the list goes on.

The servers or lack of people playing them. May not be as big an issue in America/Europe. But there are only 2 real server providers in Australia, One really only offers wake or IO, the other has piss poor admins with frequent glitchers, TK'ers, force TK'ers where very little ever happens. There are no AF/EF servers at all in Australia. Only 2 SF servers are ever populated and usually its only the 24/7 warlord one.

24/7 servers get tedious and boring.

And then there is IO, the single worst thing that happened to the game.

The day the infantry only patch was released was like birthday and christmas together.
Finally no more getting raped from tanks, arty, apcs and camping jeeps.

That patch brought the fun back on the battlefield.
Finally it wasn't the tanks any more but me and my medics being the meanest bastards on the whole server for rounds and nobody could do anything about it.

A 30:0 or 40:0 on infantry is much easier to manage now than 25:1 as SL before when arty strikes hit you at your position or tanks camping you who rounds.

That and the fact i got A LOT better since purchasing this greatest af all games make me enjoying BF2 even more today.

There is the AK101 server which does EF and AF, and the {LD} server which is EF only. Not always populated, but it's good fun when it is.
Or you can just do what I do - join a US server. The =PL= servers are good, for both SF and EF. I get around 280 ping on there. It sounds like a lot, but I usually command. Fail that, I go assault with the G3, AK47 or nade launcher. Dropping AT mines at choke points and doing teamwork duties (dedicated medic/resupply guy/engy/asset destroyer) works wonders too.


I voted yes and no. It's still awesome fun when I play, but getting killed because of double reloading/re-scoping/non-reging bullets kinda kills the experience.

QFT.. the addiction and drive to get better is what keeps me playing, I want to get better and better forever, I know for sure I haven't even got close to reaching my peak. My stats don't reflect my actual skill.

IO is the thing that ruined BF2 for me...It is close to impossible to find good server which runs 32x maps in vehicle mod now. And they were the best imo.

I miss good old city maps servers with vehicles...was much more fun then IO.

You probably misunderstood the whole idea of Battlefield series...go play some CoD4.

If the whole idea of the battlefield series was to spend a whole round with your uncap being circle strafed by a heli, or to spawn on a flag to be shot in the back by a tank all round, then I guess I misunderstood it too.

Conquest would be good if it was balanced and there was a point to teamwork. Any game mode that gives you a 90% chance of being teamkilled for a vehicle on first spawn isn't good enough. At least on inf only the good players aren't just the one with an m95 and ff on.

The whole idea was the game with both infantry and vehicles. You take something away and recieve unbalanced gameplay.

Yea, I agree with you on that point. That and retards that take jets\helis and suck at using them made me play city maps and then IO. Yet I find city maps with vehicles more fun for infantry - atleast theres something that can actually kill you, while all noobs with their G36E can't. Kind of balance, you know.

Ye it's still fun, but compared to other games the fun is limited.
I need something to aim for now, COD4 has got so much to achieve when you start that i am playing that out of the fact I have a target.
But it is nice to be good at a game, so BF2 still comes out a bit.

Grenade and claymore spam ruined the game. Though I try to dodge them, they are just ridiculous sometimes.

Who the hell though it was a good idea to make claymores invincible. Fine turn FF off, I don't care. Fine make them have obscene range. But invincible and with the combination of the other two makes it retarded.

Hell no
1. there is a much better fps out cod4
2. patches caused more problems after each version was applied
3. 1 in 30+ servers has vehicles (IMO the cause of the biggest downfall of the game)
4. poor support
5. loading of maps
6. punkbuster issues
7. lag even with <100ping
8. hit register system
9. the weakness of weapons
