I completely disagree with nearly every negative comment about the game so far. The game is strategic, moreso than any other in the series. The squads allow you to spawn at your captain...that's a HUGE strategic advantage with one simple game addition. The UAVs, artillery strikes, medic kits...it's all a major improvement over the others. I don't know why people keep saying the game isn't realistic enough even though it's trying to be. It's a Battlefield game for crying out loud!! BF2 is just like the other games in its core. The iron sights make the game a lot more "gunlike." It feels like you're actually shooting a gun moreso than the previous games.

The only small kits that damage a tank are the <B>anti-tank</B> and special ops kits, both of which are designed to take out tanks. Yes, small dunes and hills damage them, but it's never a lot unless you go off a huge dropoff. Regular grenades to next to nothing to the tanks, much less infantry rifles. It's all very balanced. The non-anti-armor kits have better automatic rifles but lack the firepower to take out tanks and vice versa.

The graphics are incredible in this game and the sound is superb. The controls and animations are extremely fluid, even moreso than the controls in 1942 (Vietnam had some weird prone issues).

A lot of people are complaining that BF2 can't decide whether it wants to be a tactical, strategic shooter ONLY or an arcade-like shooter ONLY. Why can't it be both? Both work, both are fun, and it appeals to both kinds of gamers. Choosing one or the other would make the game not fun for half the people that play BF. I personally love doing insane stunts in the aircraft as well as going in SWAT-style with my squad to a flag. I can't understand why you'd want one or the other when you can have both.

All BF2 is an updated 1942 with a few core additions that make it seem really fresh. That's all I wanted and I'm extremely satisfied. I love this game!
