1. Why do you as a gamer choose the bf series over other games?

I may be alone on this, but I chose the BF Series because of a certain Popular Star Wars mod I saw featured on the TV show 'X-Play'.  The freedom mentioned before was evident, but also the Detail and feel of the different ships caught my eye.  I'd never seen anyone else get it that right.   The ability of the game engine to deliver this, and the freedom of the player to go and do as he pleased - I went out and picked up a copy the next day.

2. Define what team work means to you.

Cooperation between players, no matter the skill, to achieve the set goal.  Newbie, Vet or whatever... They should be feel like they're making a contribution to the team effort.  Having a good squad leader/ Commander and a simple, intuitive communication system will make this possible.

3. Describe your ideal gamemode.

For me there is no Ideal.  having an objective other than just 'shoot the enemy' is a given. And  I've been intrigued by the new types mentioned in connection with this game.  I guess I enjoy anything that encourages teamwork.

Edit:  Oops, went way over 25 words didn't I?  Sorry, missed that part.

1. Why do you as a gamer choose the bf series over other games?

I choose the BF series because of the freedom. And all the different vehicles. Mostly the freedom.

Teamwork to me is your squad being diverse, everyone knowing the task, working together, and making necesary sacrifice to get the job done.

My ideal gamemode is an assualt mode, like D-day type stuff, I just love it. Having to destroy key objectives would fall in as #2.

2. Define what team work means to you.
Working together with other human players to achieve an objective. Each player depends on another player for support.

3. Describe your ideal gamemode.
An objective based mode where a team must utilize skills of multiple vehicles and classes.
This would mean that there would be two or three objectives.
An example senario of this would be:
To start out players in bomber aircraft must disable the sheilds of the enemy base while fighters and ground AA cover them from enemy fighters while tanks destroy ground AA. Next a group of weak armored specialforces infantry have to place explosives in certain points to destroy a blast door while their stronger teamates cover them. A last objective would be to inflitrate the enemy base and destroy the core which is unreachable on foot by using AT rockets (once more other infantry classes would defenc the weak-vs-infantry AT class).
This game mod would cause teamates to depend on eachother.
In addition this type of game mod would mix vehicle with infantry combat.
Also note it is very similar to ET:QW or Dystopia in that the front line moves as each objective is destroyed.
Hopefully this multilayered objective mode can be somehow coded although I know it would be extreemly hard.

(sry for the lengthy answer to the last question)

Keep em coming if possible

The combination of a dynamic role with different options to achieve goals.

2. Define what team work means to you.

Having squads on the battlefield following the Commander's direction to the word while the air support drops bombs when and where they're requested.

3. Describe your ideal gamemode.

Actually Titan is my ideal game mode.

2. Define what team work means to you.
working together to reach a common goal

3. Describe your ideal gamemode.
infantry only with a LOT of sniper spots

2. Define what team work means to you.
Coordinated attacks from individuals/classes/vehicles specialized in different types of combat and with unique strengths/weaknesses.

3. Describe your ideal gamemode.
Attacking force vs. defending force where defenders must guard an objective.

2:
working in squads with a SQL that know what to do and can work without order from a commander.
forced squads are no good. that why i mostly play with clanmembers only (ventrillo)
the role of a commander should be changed and he need the options like in bf2 now to.
(unlike most mods out now, where the builder act like EA and destroy a great feature of a game)

3:
atleast absolutly NOT a infantry only type.
push is fine but with multiple options to get to a flag. unlike Crackland where there are only 3 ways for us to go

1. Why do you as a gamer choose the bf series over other games?

"I enjoy the bf series because of the openess and freedom that these games allows. Unlike other games where I have to follow a set route or plan in these games I can do whatever I want."   - MK4210

Basically people putting the team before themselves and their scores by making use of the different strenghts of each class to help each other and the team achieve their goal.  ( Yea thats right , im talking to all you stat wh*res lol  )

I kind of like the "Push" type maps also , makes the team focus on the same objective and can lead to some pretty large ( And extremely fun ) battles in the process.

I guess my 3rd answer conflicts with my 1st answer abit but anyway lol

1. Why do you as a gamer choose the bf series over other games?

I enjoy the bf series because of the openess and freedom that these games allows. Unlike other games where I have to follow a set route or plan in these games I can do whatever I want.

Teamwork to me is where everyone has a job and they do it right. No lone players, everyone works together taking orders and working in squads in order to beat the game.

My ideal gamemode would be one where one side defends and the other attacks, but it is set up so that there is a definite frontline (think pushmap from fh) so that someone doesn't sneak and steal the rear cp.

We want to get as much input from you guys on what you like and dislike in BF2/2142 and stuff youd love to have in the mod. Some things just wont be possible but you never know ...

1. Why do you as a gamer choose the bf series over other games?

I love the battle field series above other look-alikes because it encourages teamply very well, and you get the chance to see the battle from all perspectives (pilot, tanker, infantry...)

Team work means to me that I'm recieving orders from higher ups, and theres a large degree of quick chat conversations (chat rose thingy) flying during the battle. Also always having a and support guy waiting for you when things get hairy.

My ideal gamemode is definetly one with a unique objective, that differs every map.
Should I become an all powerful hamsters, and could have anything created, I think the ultimate gamemode would be one that mimics star wars empire at war's 'galactic conquest', with commanders choosing where they're moving they're single fleet, and a space and ground battle for most maps. Obviously far scaled down from EAW, but with the principles intact.

Oh and I just want to complement the dev team for being so enmeshed with the community. Most mods are teh polar opposite of that.

We had the same idea months and months ago. It was/is called 'Invasion mode'.

Sry dont wanna get you off topic. Anyway, carry on..

1. Why do you as a gamer choose the bf series over other games?

The intense action combined with the strong team aspect, making me feel truly like a part of the army I'm fighting for (IE, I like the vehicle HUD, with all the consoles, not just a nosecam view).

Working together as a team to meet a common goal, and giving all you can to your teammates. 

A combination of Titan-mode, Conquest, and Objective mode would be amazing.  I would also like to see what SF wanted to do, a campaign-esque thing.  Where the victor of one map would determine the location of the next map.

2. Working toghter to make a stronger force i.e one person on your squad may be bad at something but someone else might be better at it and visa versa

3. I perfer objective mode as i feel a great pride of achivement if you destroy the object it feels rewarding

Hope this helps
