Just thought I would ask if anyone else is getting a bit bored of BF2 @ times. Overall it's a great game! But if you end up pulling crap like this when waiting to seed a server you can see what happens
Great game, everything else is crap. I had the misfortune of meeting the system reqs on the box, only to find out upon installation that my video card is the only one not supported. I've played it at a friend's, though. I also know that the patching system is the worst that I have ever seen. BF 1942 is plenty good, though, so I just stick with that.
From what I've been told by people who play it, if you can bear EA's stupidity with the patches, and find a good password protected clan servor. It's a good game.
I've never had a problem with Battlefield 2, though I will concede this is influenced I only create a squad with friends, rather than with random people. Otherwise I fight alone.
There is a shortage of good maps, certainly not as many as with BF1942, and I think that the update of Wake Island testifies to this. Strike at Karkand and Gulf of Oman I find very addictive though. Nothing like a drawn-out street battle.
It's remarkable to see that city maps are so popular in BF2. Berlin and Stalingrad in BF1942 were often loathed. Also, vehicles have become much less popular, with people now preferring Infantry-only servers. A strange development for a game series that owes its fame to 'combined arms' on large maps.
Indeed, the vehicle power has completely gone up now (though Kan remembers fond memories of fighting Anti-Tank literally side by side with his flatmate) compared to BF1942, where they were feared, but couldn't destroy everything.
And planes in '42 went slow enough that you could enjoy the scenery
'42 is only $10 CAD here in a jewel case, I'd like to try it, I know that almost nobody plays it though, but there are a few servors left so I've heard.

Oh, that's not too bad. It's not great, but it's not bad. If I see it cheap I'll pick it up, mostly I want it so I can fly planes. And still eb able to snipe someone and blwo up some tanks. Are there stukas?
Yes. BF2 is boring, unoriginal, and to make matters worse they removed anything that made the game fun ~January. BF1942's graphics aren't as good, and it lacks some nice features that BF2 has. But overall, BF1942 is much more fun than its' predacessor. All about gameplay
And IMO Vietnam isn't worth bothering with, whereas the bf1942 expansions definitely aren't worth bothering with. BF42 is a multiplayer game, and vanilla BF is what people play.

Of course it's optional, but it's clear that vehicles are becoming increasingly unpopular in BF. I must admit that vehicles started to annoy me as well before I stopped playing, while I loved them in BF1942.
The only thing you really cant fight against is Airplanes.
Tanks? 2 missile shots to the front or back treads, C4 or TOW.
APC? 2 missile shots to the fuel compartment on the side, TOW or C4! Helicopters? 2 missile shots anywhere, TOW or even C4 sometimes!
You just gotta be smart. Have team mate distract the tank with a machine gun while you take care of it. hell you can distract it by yourself. It's not a problem really.
