What the hell do you mean. Do you want every bullet to go exactly where you aim it?

Bahahaha.

Needless to say, there is plenty of lone wolf action in BF2. Lots of good jet pilots go solo. A tank driver doesn't really need any gunner (and the gunner will die quickly). Snipers are pretty much solo.

The reason most servers force people to create squads is because it allows the commander to manage the people, even if you don't follow his commands. Whether you want to admit it or not, a good commander can benefit any player.

Honestly, getting all your friends to purchase BF2 and then having BF2142 come out was kind of a slap in the face. It's the same reason most people don't buy the BF2 expansions, they didn't want to spend additional money. BF2 default maps were where 90% of the community was.

Not sure I understand where you feel it breaks down. Either teamplay or lone wolf, you can still do the same damage, earn points, and still win for your team.

I played the early days on beta and other people's PCs. It was nothing like BF1942 or Vietnam and PUBS were really, really anal about not playing in sqads where I played for pings healthy to me. Doesn't matter if years down the road but my initial take on it was lone wolf was at the very least rewarded if you were a wing man, just really far out. I didn't care to know what the idiots on the team are doing... I played it like I was an army of one like I did BF1942.

It definitely didn't cater to my version of solo wolf style and having to do all the point earning was a slap in the face. Shitty servers admins and settings were bogus too. It catered to the fun and gun and parachute rabbit hoppers.

They did not want you playing in squads? I have never come across a server that didn't want people in squads. A lot of server will kick you if you don't join a squad.

No they were anal if you didn't play in a squad. You pretty much made made my point for me. Sorry if I was unclear. I didn't like the servers because they kinda forced you to play as a team. Its bad enough being kicked and banned off server for being too good and they think you are a hacker. Its even worse for me to be banned because I decide I am better off helping the team by not taking crap orders from crap team leaders on PUGS.

Relax Lone Wolf of the Year.... I like to say I'm very good, I kick ass solo but honestly, I play a lot better with a squad. You need to realize this isn't a global thing. Yes there are some servers that kick you for not being in a squad, you want to know the solution to that? Don't join the server! There are plenty of servers out there, many have their rules and YES there are stupid kid admins who enforce them, big deal.

Like the other day, I got kicked from a server just because my [420] tag's didn't agree to their "use of drugs" lol what a joke but whatever. The real reason was because I was owning their members.

Again, you are arguing from a small point of view. And with time you've grown bitter towards the game thus why you are continuing to reply and defend your reasoning.

To each their own. BF2 will remain a bad ass modern warfare game and beats Crap of Duty any day.

Actually, Mr. Internet Forum Super Hero, I only just recently bought the game. I said that the initial game turned me off when it first came out. My last post wasn't defending what I did more than it was clarifying what I said to someone.

I know I am speaking from a small view point. Just like the OP was coming from a small view point. Just like you are speaking from a small point of view. Obviously the greater BF2 community thinks otherwise of what I think; furthermore, the game today isn't the same anal retentive community it was when it was released.

I am not a bitter BF2 player. I was never a 'real' BF2 player until I bought the game recently. I was someone who didn't like the product and wasn't afraid to tell people why I didn't play it and games like it. However, I am happy with Project Reality, think it makes BF2 one of the better games every released.

And yes, not joining a server from being banned, kicked, allow crap abuse of mechanics ( parachute off a small rooftop to avoid mined stairs ) w/e is always the option. But it happened a lot when it was a newer game and it sort of is a multi player game. That is why I didn't buy and stayed away from games like it for years. Its my opinion. If you don't like it... that is your problem.

I understand the game has changed over time, that is why I am less critical of it and actually enjoy playing its Mods.

I wish our titles were editable; I like Mr. Internet Forum Super Hero

Glad you're enjoying BF2, i'm glad, really I am.

And still is. Most servers that are nearly full 24/7 just host Wake/Karkand/Oman/Dragon. At times it can be difficult to get map variety, but you can always count on being able to get into a big game.

We have a BF2 server setup at work for lunch time games, play M-Th and I play at night sometimes with co workers. I'm a member of the =DIC= clan

I thought BF2 was ok, it kind of disappointed me though. I was so hyped for it because me and my friend were both addicted to DC and played it all the time. BF2 just came up short in areas that we enjoyed from DC, mainly the map design and game modes. We mainly played stalingrad CTF and berlin CTF and there was just nothing that fun in BF2 imo.
