THOUGHTSIt looks bad on low end computers...
That sucks. I tend to take things like basic functionality for granted since my PC is relatively current, so when I recommend a new game to folks it sometimes escapes me that they may not be able to run it at resonable settings, or at all. (FABIO is only just now abandoning his GeForce TI4600? I bought that same card for the first Battlefield, circa 2002) At any rate, it sucks, because absent any major performance issues, the game is a blast.
I'm shocked at how much it feels just like the other BF games.
Well, it is a sequel. The core gameplay of BF hasn't really changed much, perhaps to delight of BF fans. The new additions are fairly dependent on teamwork, and as such, the involvement of strangers, so it may take some time for it to shine. I mean, fuck, 3 years later and people still can't figure out the artillery system in 1942. At least now, fufilling a team request usually yeilds a a score, so there's incentive to learn.
...but the poor performance plus same-old gameplay have disappointed me a little bit.
FWIW, people with mid-high end PCs mention that BF2 runs smoother than BF:V, and I concur. That game still chokes the shit out of my system without even supporting my monitor's native resolution. In spite of that, I dug the shit out of that game. I just wished things moved and controlled better, and maybe the game could lag less if it wasn't too much to ask. BF2 fixes most every technical problem I had with BF:V and 1942, while looking pretty fucking sweet to boot.
-the infantry controls feel like a FPS now. Iron sights!
-falling 3 feet or walking downstairs is no longer fatal; hell, it doesn't even hurt!
-the vehicles no longer flip over and explode from basic driving manuevers. They can even drive through puddles!
-RAGDOLLS.
Of course, you may not be able to enjoy those seemingly basic improvements if your system is running it like ass, much less appreciate the major improvements to the game like squad interraction or the Commander mode.
Sniping is vastly nerfed
Agreed. This has to be patched. In the short run though, it's nice to see that half of the team is no longer camping the enemy's main spawn.
The learning curve is higher than ever. God help a new player.
Yeah, fuck em'.
No one talks on the mics.
Not every server has VOIP enabled, and for those that do it's limited to interaction between commander and squad leaders, and then squad leaders and fellow squadmates. I had full interaction from one squad going once I broke the ice and spoke over the mic and someone asked "how'd you do that?"
Servers that set 2 second respawn times should go ahead and call it a "NO MEDICS" server.
Haven't seen this, I hope it's rare. Incidentally, medics are the most fun to play so far. In fact, I've almost played as the medic exclusively, so I can't really refute FABIO's "other classes besides AT and Medic are useless" argument. I can refute. however, his assertion that the game is imbalanced ala Desert Combat. Because it isn't.
I end up sitting in the stinger chairs a lot, which depresses me when I think about it. All this excitement and action at my fingertips, and apparently all I really want to play is some sort of watered down Missile Command.
Ironically, you're probably giving the guy on the other end of that missile lock the very thrill your missing. :(
