More players please. Bf1942 was capable of 64 players why was this area not improved upon for the sequal?
Bigger maps. More game modes. Conquest requires the attention span of a goldfish and borders on tedium (Planetside I suppose you could call conquest, is infinitely more interesting than Battlefields version and Dice may find some inspiration tucked away there).
NO FUGGIN' RANDOM SHOOTING!!!!!!! It's not fun and requires no skill. How can it? It's random.
Rank System should be more passive and all weapons should be available to all players and shouldn't be earned. IMO the unlocked weapons provide nothing extra and the default load outs are more effective.
My pet hate apart from random shooting is the speed of which a player walks and runs is out of context with the players ability to jump like a kangeroo on tungsten springs. Is it really necessary to make the players move like a stoned slug and sprint like a Turtle?
Graphics were so badly coded for BF2 and the majority of gamers played a product that looked worse than its predecessor. The new visuals couldn't be appreciated. leaving BF2 looking like a blocky, pile of steaming organic waste. I wish for a stable and efficient engine.....no leaks thank you. Oh and sort out the collision detection, it really is poor.
How about a decent user friendly map editor. Look at Operation Flashpoints.
There thats my Whine list (wine list <<<-------- for the Americans, Come on you don't get English jokes do you?)
