I dunno know about you, I got into the BF2 crowd late in the game (several months), and sucked hard-core for a while. The J-10 ripped me a new one every time the pilot even glanced at me, and the tanks just rolled over my corpse every time. But when I picked up 2142 right off the bat, I found myself continuously pwning the majority of the time; multi-kills with nades/rockets, one-shotting tanks, pretty much being a pain in the ass to half the enemy team. About 40%-ish percent of the time I'm earning bronze, silver and gold medals, or having a really good score, which I suppose is an added bonus to having fun, lol. I'll never go back to BF2 until I'm convinced they've fixed all the glitches/super-powered weapons that I hate (G36E, grr...)
