    Hey, so, I love BF2 and get in at least an hour of it every night. Am I really weird or something?

    Word up. You'll often see me in the ZPG blue pearl server, or the WF great wall server. Just check http://battletracker.com/playerstats/bf2/43809829/ to see if I'm online and what server I'm in.

    BC2 doesn't suck. But it also gets quite bland and boring after you play it for a certain length of time.

    That happens with every game. I eventually got bored with BF2. I'll eventually get bored with BC2, and I'll eventually get bored with BF3.

    ARs, LMGs, SMGs, and pistols do not have bullet drop guys. You can point right at a guy from sniper range and hit him with every shot. Snipers have to compensate. If they didn't they'd be way too good. If other weapons had to compensate they wouldn't be able to counter a sniper. Often the best counter to a sniper is a non-sniper.

    Snipers need the ability to paint targets somehow, work with vehicles to take out specific targets. I am not feeling creative enough to describe it right now, but something to make them more worthwhile then assholes killing random dudes across the map.

    you mean uhh.. the binoculars for artillery spotting from bf1942?

    This was the best thing. Having a birds eye view of a contested flag to rain down hell from a battleship's guns was incredible fun.

    If you look in the bottom right hand corner by the explosions and the door to the building to the right of the explosions there are two groups of soldiers pointing guns (and shooting?) at each other.

    God that looks great.

    Hope to see more open maps, though (especially given the 64 player limit). So far in the trailer and that shot all that's really been seen is urban fighting.

    Playing the Crysis 2 demo again made me hate urban fighting more.

    BC2 "urban" stuff I think is perfect. A good amount of open space with some bit of tight corridors. Fuck Heavy Metal style though. More Arica Harbor or Atacama Desert scope please.

    What do you mean by "Sane People"?

    Back on Bf3, I wonder if they will go back to MEC, PLA, and USA as the main factions, and maybe add an insurgent element.
