all other problems with the patch aside, anyone else agree that not being able to change squads while dead is the lamest thing ever done in a patch for bf2?

Sure it sucks but there were squads that would just keep leaving the squad and rejoining. You would have to kill the WHOLE squad to stop the respawning not just the SL before the patch.

Yep, thanks for destroying the game, EA.

Yeah. It's stupid that you can't squad hop, but if they are gonna remove it they could have done it better. not the lazy way. You should at least be able to join squads when your dead, just not spawn on the SL.

*looks away*

Yeah, being able to create a squad at the start of the round when you are "dead" is possible, but not to join or create one at any time during the round is really annoying. When you wana join one, and you're gona spawn at a flag with oppositon there, after taking them all out, I often forget to even join the squad. Until I die and wana spawn at the SL....and it continues

Whilst I think cartillery is a little lame (when im not commander anyway ), I dont find it annoying in any way at all. Maybe because I rarely play sniper and dont often sit in a single spot whilst in armour...I never did before the patch and dont now. So why worry about it?
One things for sure, when you request it because no other vehicle is around, it is so damn useful, that it outweights having a jeep land on your head by a lot. Especially on maps like Taraba, Kubra or Zatar.

Yeah it sux when u are sniping, and cartillery drops right on you.  Why:

First: It pisses most people off, lol
Second: people laugh there ass off when they see that you got cartillerized, then ur embarresed. 

Lol, that is how I feel about the issue.

Agreed.  Using the ability to spawn on team leaders in advance locations on the fly was a great tactical use of the existing gameplay model.   I was sorry to see it go.  It changed the way the game was fundamentally played in some areas.  (mostly infantry-heavy maps)

you guys are missing another point.. yes i do mean i wish we could still squad hop but another lame thing is that.. its much easier to manage a squad (create, join...when ure dead.. than when you r alive and u got 50 people shooting at u

Yep i often get killed when i go to change squads of have to remove some annoying kid who wont shut up from the squad. I like the no squad hopping thing, but u should be able to change while dead, but still not be able to spawn on the leader.

Well, simple answer is not to spawn and stand in the open choosing your squad. Take cover behind that building or tree, or lie in the long grass (for those people who do go outside of Karkand).
That is, unless EA fix this and put it back in, which I think a lot of people would want.

Just hold down "e" while sniping!
