I seek realism and good teamwork/squadwork.

Then look into project reality for bf2.

if you seek realism, yea, SWBF2 isnt for you,
but i seek above all else fun, and a general SW feel, captured previously only by the GC mod for Bf1942,

And if you are indeed superior to the rest of them, shame on them =P

i mean, it wasnt fire n forget, i used to go circles around the so-called Server top ace who flew a Tie Interceptor while i flew a Y-Wing, to lose only when he called upon the server admin to claim i was cheating . it STILL had some skill involved, mainly on blaster only fights..

i enjoy SWBF2 fully to this day

What's wrong with LOCK-ON missiles?  That technology is realistic.  A civilization capable of interstellar space travel would have ships that have lock-on missiles.

But apparently not fighters capable of pitch or yaw beyond some few scripted maneuvers. /me is not impressed.

I just don't see what's so horrific about adding an actual flight model. I suppose it's because a game with a combat experience that's 99% arcade bunnyhopping needs to have an equally easy flight model so that the players don't have to [shock and horror] make an effort or [gasp] think while playing.

What's wrong with LOCK-ON missiles?  That technology is realistic.  A civilization capable of interstellar space travel would have ships that have lock-on missiles.  Not having lock-on missiles doesn't make sense because even here in the early 21st century we have had lock-on missiles for about 40 years.

FFS dude, I realize all that.

I prefer more X-Wing style combat for multiplayer space games.  SWBF2 was just arcade shite.

DO A BARREL ROLL!
