yeah i've been eyeing the BF2 complete collection going for around $30. maybe i'll give it a try and see what all this "dolphin diving" and "bunny hopping" is all about.

you'll come across this mainly from stat wh0res or 3-4 star generals, but its not everywhere. Its just annoying sometimes when you see a guy do a side ways matrix move on you. Odds are, there will be other things that will annoy you then that

Refresh the weapons lineups to have different unlocks for different factions according to current situations. Add in widescreen support and definitely improve graphics (but not include HDR because that just blinds the hell out of me). I'll also take destructible environments (although we'd abuse that so much) and blood please.


This, and add in a main menu that isn't laggy as hell.

well BF2 was fun for a while. Then the HACKS took over. BF2142 lasted a week before hacks killed it.. BF3 1-2 days is my guess.

Google "Battlefield 3" and you'll get some relevant info from last October or something... It's supposed to be on course for this Fall, using the same Frost Bite Engine that Bad Company uses, which has awesome graphics btw. Play it at hi-def with the VGA cable on a monitor and you'll get the gist of BF3. It's going to be a great game IMO if they get it right.

probably won't happen but 3 faction battles would be really fun. although i like 64 man servers, i think 96 is pushing it too much. the game already lags like hell on a full 64 man server. i won't even go into titan mode slide show.

I don't notice people hacking in BF games very often. There was an exploit early on in BF2142 where you could hide in a crate and shoot people from inside.

I enjoy them alot BF2 more than 2142 but both were fine in my opinion. The x-fi problem with both games annoyed me the most.

Its pretty easy for me to score 1-3 on any given match and I usually don't use vehicles all to often. The only time where vehicles are really wtf is when you have a good jet pilot mowing down people just walking around.

Nothing has been confirmed or announced, that was leaked, and while that sounds true, or a lot of it anyway, I'd like some confirmation. Perhaps Leipzig will give us answers.
