Not necessarily bugs, but there are certain aspects of the game that really frustrate me. It's all part of making a user friendly interface and EA does a good job for the most part, but I'd like to see some of these things change.

The mini-map zooming is my biggest peeve. I hate that I find myself CONSTANTLY having to zoom back in since many radio commands, checking the squad screen, or checking the map seem to zoom things out. It screws things up when I'm close to a silo, I zoom in to have a better view, spot an enemy and then the map zooms out so I have to divert my focus from attacking to re-doing what I just did.

Another thing is the changing silo numbers. I've had to make up simple names with my friends to make sure I know I am talking about the same silo they are. They should just go back to naming the spots, or having a consistent numbering system for all.

Last for now (there are others), I wish that the weapon slots weren't so inconsistent. There's usually not much time to switch weapons in the setup screen, and I think that the slots are assigned to individual numbers. Sometimes this screws things up since I'll invert the C7/Claymore in the setup screen, and so when I am in game, this also switches their assigned numbers. They should make an option or something to have claymores be a button, and C7 be a button that just never changes. This is definitely personal preference though so not necessarily something EA did wrong.

DICE says that will be fixed in the next patch by making them all the same number for everyone.

all those things piss me off too and i think the minimap is the one that makes me most mad. thats just so damn annoying.

I love it when the minimap just spins like a dog on speed chasing its tail.

I like it having in Static mode as well. I get much better sense of direction.
Its just like reading a map with the map pointed North.

Both map settings have their advantages and disadvantages.

You're both right.

...but SOTM is more right.

what annoys me is the de-ranking all teh time, i log in and out like ten times and still nothing, its frustrating when i payed $100 for a game that i spend half the time preparing to play.

I'm trying to like BF2142, (coz it's a good concept), but there are a lot of inconsistences that are starting to piss me off. Just right now I'm having a crashing problem since patch v1.05 installment. I dunno, I may quit playing this game and move back to BF2.
