3 mods are the reason I put up with this crappy BF engine. First strike, Pirates and Forgotten Hope. The shooting on FH2 is outstanding. No unloading a whole clip into nothing when your enemy is 100 meters away.
BF2 and 2142 reminds me of stunted fumbling cartoon characters and the weapons can't hit the broadside of a barn.
Seriously was a big let down in FS for me was the range of weapons. Why do your enemy have to be right ontop of you for the weapons to be accurate? FH2 has gone for the realism aspect where the weapons are deadly to 300 meters. Not 30 meters. It's so out of proportion and frustrating. Basically the sniper rifles have the range of assault rifles, just not fun.
