Thats because u playing online with epeople. If you get a squad that works together and shit it is a lot of fun. The only thing I don't like is 64 player games because it just a lot of charging then dying. 32 is good size were you are able to use more strategy and a lot less kamakzie.

Agreed. I also like it better when theres less vehicles and more infantry, but that's just me.

It isn't bad, as people have said if you can get a decent squad happening. Otherwise it's just a huge amount of stat-whoring to get your next rank and get a decent gun for a kit.

agreed

I was made an asshat for less than that.

No, I'm almost certain you spammed more than that.

How does the stat system work in this game? I don't know whether or not to be put off by this whole rank system or not.

Is it like most team based mods wherein you simply can't use certain items even if salvaged off the battlefield because of class/rank restrictions? A better question might be, can you even salvage weapons off the battlefield?

And as for the helicopters, did they take a design lead from Desert Combat and use a similar flight model for them? It was alright, however it didn't lend itself to keyboard use at all being as that there was no option for auto leveling of yaw, pitch, roll, etc. Repeatedly smashing digital buttons to compensate for a lack of analog controls was kind of annoying.

If you ever played desert combat, you may recall flying the helo with a keyboard was a process of pressing buttons to keep your aircraft from rolling over like a boat on stormy water, it would never automatically maintain a certain degree of inclination either way, so it was like some kind of fucked up game of ping pong you had to play mid-air while actually trying to aim and shoot at targets, and while the overall system was more realistic than most other games of it's type, that feature specifically was not.

you can salvage kits, but you can't swap out items in your kit. You can also unlock an alt. weapon for the kit, so whatever.

You can also play unranked servers, but whutevuh. I didn't play desert combat but helicopters aren't that hard to fly. And you could always just not fly them.

team work is definetly the key, a MDX or red bull helps in a pinch. Late nite you get alot of german or middle east servers, but this game is definatly getting expensive and takin up alot of HD space, could have more evil hobbies .No wait there good as well allways looking for fellow gamers to battle online with wish BF2 had the tunes that BFV has best song for that it's raining men, lol marilyn mason?

I totally concur.

In how far is BF different from Enemy Territory gameplaywise?

Well, it's still capture the spawn point, etc. You have a commander, ala Savage/Natural Selection, who can drop supplys, call in artty strikes, etc.

Slower paced then ET, bigger maps.

They are releasing the Booster Pack when they fix the bugs that came with the new patch. I got the BF2: Special forces x pack and its not very good. The dark levels are dumb, its all about sniping from the dark. The ropes and zip lines are cool though. Plus it runs worse than the main game.

The Euro Booster Pack has been released today. You have to download through EA own little download service for 9.99
