My cousin's boyfriend actually works for EA its an amazing place he says. Its a really laid back company. The head of his division wore a full fledge batman costume on the day that Batman Begins was released.

I don't doubt EA is a horrible company, they outsourced thousands of jobs this year alone, and they care only for profits. Its a brutal company to work for especially since they don't have a union, but please, the reasons you stated before were entirely unfounded.

First of all, BF2 is modern combat.  So, it's basically Desert Combat mod that they can charge $50 for.  Actually, they bought Trauma Studios that made DC and then dumped them when they had all the stuff they needed for BF2.  Furthermore, BF2 is just as shitty as BF1942 was.  The same totally unrealistic crap.  Instead of .30-06 bullets that take 5 headshots to kill, we have 5.56 NATO bullets that take 5 headshots to kill.  Instead of taking 4 rounds from a Tiger's 88mm canon to take out a Sherman, you have 4 rounds of an M1 Abram's sabot rounds to kill a dunebuggy.  It's the same shitty game with a new time era.

Ummmm, no...I play the game every now and then and believe me it doesn't take  4 tank rounds to kill a buggy, it takes less than one. The round doesn't even have to hit the buggy full on to kill the people inside it. Hell it only takes 2 grenades to completely destroy the buggy. I don't know where you got your information. The major problem with the game is the accuracy of the weapons are a bit off, and most servers are horribly laggy.

*sigh* you're missing the point.  BF2 is just like BF1942 in that they threw anything resembling realistism to the wind and made yet another horrible arcade shooter.  You're right, it doesn't take 4 shells to kill a buggy... I could play and not vomit long enough to try it.  Oh, and let me guess, the geniuses at DICE/EA have it so you can kill an Abrams tank with a grenade like in BF42, huh?  Yea, THAT's realistic.

Also, I think I wouldn't be as cynical about BF2 if they didn't flat out lie to whole community about it.  When they were working on the game, they announced so many wonderful mod tools that they were going to release to the community.  I felt that with that, the game would at least be a decently moddable engine.  Even if DICE couldn't make a realistic game, the modders could.  And, while I held no illusions that their engine and mod tools would be as good as UT2k4, I figured they would at least do better than BF42.  However, as time went on, their stories changed.  We went from "You'll have Python scripting to control everything!" to "Oh, yea, it'll just be for server management".  From "The Mod tools will be the game development tools we use and will ship on the CD!" to "Oh, well, we're working on some mod tools for you.. it'll be a few months."  From "OMGZ0rz! We will be able to support 128 players!" to "Hmm, I'll bet 32 players will still be so laggy that you have to aim where you think the person will be in 10 seconds!".

No thank you, I thnik BF2 is a complete and utter flop... perhaps not by intent, but by the end result of the Whore of Redwood City.. err EA.  EA has been showing how much of a corporate whore they are for many years.  A few years back, I bought an EA Sprots game that caused my computer to crash.  I tried e-mailing tech support for months and they wouldn't reply.  I bought another EA Sports game more recently and it's missing a CD-Key.  I email them, do what they ask for (scan an image of the CDs, scan the jewel case that is missing the CD-Key, etc) the outsourced Uzbekistani who answered the e-mail had no clue what was going on and gave me the run-around.  Wow! Great way to keep the customer happy!  But, it's not just the customers they screw, they screw their own people too.  Any of you read the article about what slave drivers they are?  They recently bought Trauma Studios who made the Desert Combat mod.  As soon as they got all they wanted from them, they gave them an ultimatum... move to Sweden (from the New York) or you're out of a job.  Geeze, such nice guys.

Now, if you excuse me, I'm going to jump off this building with my infantry parachute!

it doesn't take 4 tank rounds to kill a buggy, it takes less than one.

What an idiot.

For those of you wanting to pirate it, it uses a Cd-Key of some form and since they have stat tracking and similar sorts of thing, they probably watch you even closer than before.

For those of you who like the genre and Battlefield 1942, Battlefield 2 is awesome. I was blown away by it. Definately worth the buy if you got the sys requirements and the 50 bucks.

There is a BF1942 2?? Did they like change the storyline or something =p
