How true.
If you limit snipers to 16/3 then you will just get people teamkilling so they can be sniper. All round.
The only way the game would work for all the whiners is to have no snipers whatsoever.
And i bet all these whiners are medics in BF2.

Is anyone else not really bothered by all these problems and willing to give EA/DICE the benefit of the doubt and time to fix it because BC2 is such a great game?

I havent had any issues with the game so far which seems a bit weird seeing how many other people have.
Been playing with some friends and I know that they've had problems. Looks like I'm just lucky, and all of my friends still want to play it even with the problems.
It'll get fixed, every BF game has been buggy as hell to begin with.

Me!
No FPS multiplayer ever has launched without issues and patches, just check the update history on L4D etc.
I think they will get it right and the fact that they listened to us about things such as FOV is promising,
Its great people saying balancing is off, limit snipers etc, but because of how the network is built its impossible to fix these issues without down time,
Im confident they will get it upto scratch, i hope they work on the server browser and make it easier to search by IP.
Also changelogs would be nice after downtime
Not exactly, the problems bother me a great deal and cause me a massive amount of unnecessary stress. However the game is good enough that once you do mange to get into a server with some mates (with third party voice chat) It's an absolute blast and you'll play for hours (until the game crashes or unceremoniously dumps you out thanks to punkbuster/server crash/EA connection lost)
It boggles the mind that after several iterations of battlefield games, all of which have terrible built in servers, DICE havn't ripped the whole thing out and put in a working system. Valve and other developers managed it the best part of a decade ago.
Still, once qtracker is updated to work with it I'll be happy enough to use that, and organise games from my steam friends list.
I'd settle for being able to auto login and connect to server via shortcut commands.
One tip that might help people out, although the friends list might show your mates offline or not in a server, you can click on the join button and if they are in a free slot server, you'll get in!

I don't really get sniped any more than any other class. Its all about not standing still out in the open. I see so many people try and run the gauntlet through wide open spaces and they wonder why they get sniped to death. 
I find nothing more satisfying than noobtubing a sniper who's camping in a ridiculous place.
The only reason sniping is so popular is because people are ludicrously stupid and make themselves so easy to kill.

I still find it amazing that people moan about the Recon (Sniper) class. I play a mix of Recon and Engineer, and there are a few observations I have:
1) As Recon, I'm often killed from assault or engineers running around the map to find 'snipers'. Strangely, those matches are often the ones we win more easily because they're not actually going for the objectives.
2) As Recon, most of my points come from spotting or Mortar strikes. This helps me not be found so much, and is what the class should be doing. It's also not all guns & glory. as often you're watching a point where there's no action.
3) As Engineer, I'm rarely sniped. Probably less-so than as Recon. However, I'm generally using the RPG against vehicles or the repair tool, so I'm likely crouched out of sight trying to sort something.
The only way you're going to be sniped. generally, is running across an open battlefield, or sitting in a window camping (or perhaps you're the unlucky soul who was piloting the Apache until they had a bullet through the head). If you actually play your class role rather than run and gun across the map, you're not that likely to die so quickly.
If you want to moan, try it on those people who don't know how to 'spot', ignore the UAV flying around that's tearing the place up (sniper rifle is great for that), don't drop health or ammo and basically are more interested in K/D ratios (which they blame on 'snipers') than actually completing the objective and helping the team.
Yes, I do shoot people at long range. When they're capturing a flag, when they're stalking one of my team and when they're stupidly standing in the open doing nothing. That's my job. Next time you realise you're being followed because an orange tag appears behind you, you've likely been saved by Recon.

Do you play hardcore where its a one shot kill though?
Running round as recon using a shotgun is great. On a conquest map if you think a flag is being taken lob in your motion mine, run in with ya shotty and you can wipe out 3 or 4 players with the shotty, one shot each (on normal mode btw). I don't see many 'non-sniper' recon players but it is a great option to have and use.
