BF2 patch 1.50 - released with free expansion packs.

Yeah I've stumble across a few semi-tactical fire fights in my time playing the new patch. It's the kind of game that's only going to be as clever as the people playing it.

I was impressed with one cheeky fellow who I caught placing C4 on my teams UAV trailer. I foolishly chased after him as he ran backwards from the trailer. He waited till I was right next to the trailer, then blew it up, along with my bumbling self.

And you didn't shoot him why?

I tried, I missed. Engineer's shotgun isn't much chop (nor is my aim). Edited September 9, 2009 by Chops

Oh yeah, shotgun. Offensive words have more of an impact. But that can be said for most of the weapons in BF2, where you need 30 rounds to knock somebody down.

not in PR

Yeah, but PR comes with a lot of other crap you just don't want. When I want my realism and tactical gameplay I play ArmA2(and man is the satisfaction gained from this way better), when I want some cheap frills I go play BF2.

Each to hes own Mehman :)

You'll be hard pressed to find tactical teamwork in public servers so accessible and in such large amounts as in PR.

Just go into some server, join a voip squad and go tactical with some strangers for some minutes.

It has the instant accessibility of the lonewolf mission of public Domination, but the teamplay and realism of a clan-night, and thats what I like about it.

The BF2 engine has its limitations, but its an ok addition to playing Arma.
