I think you should wait for BF3 to come out before making any conclusions, because BC2 is not meant to be a continuation of the main Battlefield franchise. It's part of the Bad Company series, which is aimed at a different type of player.

Everyone gets to play on the servers paid for by that money though (unless you're an asshat). I'm sure there's similar communities in the US.
Yeah that would be nice, except I'm not paying money to join a group of people who aren't asshats. That should be free.

I just think BF needs a better system for vehicle manning. I'd like to see a rank based system like the commander.
You get points for blowing crap up in a specific vehicle. You lose points for crashing. If you want to drive a ship or jet or apache, you jump in a queue. Person with the highest points for that vehicle gets first available slot, and so on.
Nothing pisses me off more than watching 5-6 guys TK eachother over a jet only to watch the noob crash into a tree at takeoff.
That I actually think is one of the most amusing aspects of the game. Of course if you play with random people, on random servers, then you likely get idiots. Ideally you play with a community of people you know (at least in game), and you don't get that problem.

Quote: Original post by RivieraKidIt's even more fun to go back before BF1942. In the original, we had movable blimps, which were fun for assaulting bases, and trying to capture by jumping out of a biplane and parachuting onto it's roof before dropping thru the hatch and having a gunfight inside.
Make no mistake, I like this game but have you noticed a trend from DICE?
Let me explain.
In BF1942 we had movable ships which was fun but created a problem were players drove the boats into the coast shipwrecking them.
So in BF2 they made them stationary and indestructable.
In BF2 we had Jets, overpowered jets. We also have dolphin jumping (prone when jumping).
Now in bad company 2 the Jets are gone and you can't go prone (sniping is horrid).

Or filling blimps up with jeeps and pushing them out the doorway over the enemy base as bombs... Or standing on the wings of fighter planes as a cheap transport plane... Or the flame-thrower that let infantry fight against vehcles... Or letting the flag-carrier escape the enemy by swooping down in your plane and jumping out right before you run into him, so he can jump into the pilot seat and take off in the still-moving plane!
Where's the hilarity gone Dice?

Is BF3 even in development?
Also, is there a PC demo if it out? (I haven't been keeping up on my gaming news lately...)

The problem with these, especially the good ones, is that the servers are always full. So you either have to wait several minutes for a slot to open up (and by wait I mean click incessitantly because dice wasn't smart enough to have a queue), or pay for a reserved slot.
I refuse to do that...
If there's a clan that has private servers that only lets members join and is free, that I would be interested in (if you know of one please tell me).
