i just wish the copters were worth a damn. i remember the days of epic dog fights with them and then if youd managed to kill the other guy go and destroy loads of stuff while makign sure you didnt get taken down. brill
Tell me about it
I outlined wtf I think's wrong with the game and why i'm getting bored on the EA forums, may as well post it here too.
1) The maps are very narrow and enclosed. In BC2 on each map it roughly goes the same way each time, you play the map and you kind of have your own set tactic or route you will go. You know basically where the enemies will be, get a few kills, maybe die, go back rinse and repeat. In BF2 and BF2142 the wider maps made it more interesting because there's more variation of tactics, you won't always take the same route, and people would be everywhere.
2) Vehicles i.e. Lack of chopper maps / Jets
Here's a biggie, in the previous games air was kinda in it's own league, compared to ground vehicles and infantry, which gave you more diversity. There was always a dog fight (Which are brilliant fun) without too much interference from the ground troops. The problem lies there that the ceiling is so low that it's easy for the ground types to intervene. At first I thought it would be great "Yeah, no more jet/chopper rape constantly!" but now I kinda miss it, the dog fights, the diversity, just the pure fun of having a chopper v.s. jet or jet v.s. jet fight.
3) Skill level
In the previous BF games you could always improve, there was always new tactics and things to do, in vehicles there was always new skills you could pick up or new ways to play. This skill level took ages to achieve, but the constant improvement was a great accomplishment. In BC2 it seems after maybe a week you get to a certain level, after this you'll get to the next level in maybe the next 2 weeks, then you hit a wall. There is really nothing to improve on. Part of my gaming is to improve my playing over time, but when you hit a wall after such a short time you feel like "Yeah, now what?" "Oh".
4) Unlocks "unlock" too fast
Getting new guns is brilliant, up until rank 25 which is where it comes to a halt, till about 35 you can keep playing happily gaining ranks. But after 35 there is a real amount of effort to rank up, for no real unlock or achievement besides maybe having a bigger e-peen due to the symbol next to your name. There should be guns which take so long to get, that won't be totally OP, but will make people want to get to that rank to unlock them, just for a sense of achievement when you can finally use it.
wasnt just a rage quit. i was about 1.1 most of the time although i did manage three headshots with a 1 burst from the m416 which made me laugh.
. Last assault rifle I needed. Think I'll take a break from assault now and try out medic.
