This made me laugh. Someone posted asking where there was 'no black guy' in BF3, first response:

"DLC".

Haha, imagine that.

EDIT: LOL, someone else said "Black people are OP" (over powered!) haha.

BF3 has to be politically correct or no buy.

BF2 was even worse, it had blatant racial stereotyping. Look at the USMC side for example:

Special skills classes (medics, spec-ops, engineers and snipers) were all white.

Grunt classes (assault and AT) were all black.

I've asked this before, but do veteran BF2 players get a special rank or title? I spent way too many hours on BF2 wasting noobs.

How do you feel about spending nearly 69 days of your life playing Battlefield 2?

That is a LONG time!

Holy **** and i thought i had spent a long time on bc2 :O

I played it most nights for 2h plus from 2005 to 2008, some weekends I'd be on for 6 hours plus a day. My pace slowed down in 2008 till when I barely played it at all. I think I've been on it once this year and less than 10 times last year.

I quit it in the end due to the number of hackers and stats padders, plus I couldn't find any decent clans or servers to play on any more.

I clocked up 550hours+ I think….. I started playing it in 07 but tbh I’d have done the same, almost cost me my marriage haha (was defo worth it tho)

So let me guess, even if your K/D ratio is rubbish, you can still become 'General of the Army' which is the highest rank?

So a general can also participate in front line battles, gets killed and then respawn. Where is the realism in that lol?

lol it's not even two hours a day. You get gamers doing it for 12+ hours a day now that's excessive. Just goes to show how addictive BF2 can be especially when playing with mates in a squad. Even after 6 years there is still 10k average on a night, 2142 and BC2 couldn't even kill it off, will BF3..........
