So, come this June BF2 will be 3 Years old. The rumor mill has BF3 being in the works.

Stats are stolen through PID spoofers,  EA/DICE is Waaay behind on fixing the Leaderboard.

Hacks are a dime a dozen,  Patches are needed, but not coming,  and the players are dwindling; bugs never to be fixed.

Not to mention, many maps are rare, leaving Karkand the only guaranteed filled maps, just above city maps. (Give me a bit of Zatar, or Midnight Sun, for ole' times' sake.

It's still a great game, still played, but to discuss it all, Here we go.

NOTE: if already done, fine.  Vote anyway.

"OMG SEARCH"  OMG CAN'T. so there.

EDIT: I am speaking from a community's point of view.  I personally still play, and even after hijacked/reset still play for stats, Relivin' the bronze awards is kinda fun, reminds me of 2005 .

Got addicted to Project Reality, and with a new laptop to play the epic maps on, who can find time for mindless fragfests in Karkand?

I'll hop on a vanilla server for some quick fun now and again. It's nice to have a sniper rifle occasionally, and to get into a jet without it taking ages to respawn.

I know what you mean about maps being rare, but there are still some good servers to be found in amongst the Wake/Karkand/Inf only. I like China maps. Also my clan plays in a mod comp, and soon a SF comp.

I don't know if hacks are that much of a problem (not on the servers I play anyway). In any case, all hacks do it make the game more challenging (for me, not the hacker - they're challenged enough already). But it's a pity they never fixed the wall gitches.

BF3 will no doubt have all the same problems in time, so I'm not holding my breath. Just enjoying what we've got now.

I used to be really stats obsessed, but when I hit general that obsession dropped to almost zilch. I play for fun now, and if I get an award along the way then thats all well and good, but I'm far less concerned about stats then I was 6 months ago.

Still a lot to accomplish, so I guess I'll play this game till BF3 comes. Tried CoD4, but it didn't impress me, so I went back to my beloved game!!!

I like to get points although i just got 20K and dont see me playing enough to get the next rank so I may get board of stats by then.  bring on bf3 cos I didnt like the look of 2142.  Might give it a go when it drops in price to bargin basket.  (wont buy it 2nd hand cos it causes problems)

me too.  Cod4 is cool, but it seems to be all spray and pray.  I like how it's faster paced, but doesn't have as much strategy as BF2

Like many of ya'll, I play for stats and fun. After I got the last tier of unlocks, my intensity faded somewhat. I haven't been playing as often over the last year due to personal commitments and such. All in all, it is a fun game with a lot of diversity and style. Three years of playing one game is pretty good if you factor the initial cost and additional mods that are available. My friends quit playing together about 6 months after it came out. That was the most disappointing part for me. This game much more fun with a squad that works together. It has been an interesting ride.

You have to learn the rules of the game and then you have to play better than anyone else.

rarely for me lately . to be honest , the game is showing its age , got sick of all the hackers/glitchers/spammers/whiners and the lack of team work commanders not doing a damn thing but idle or nade spam and finally got sick of the same old maps , so rarely for me.

Haven't played in two months now. I've purchased 2142 and I'm enjoying it plus I'm thinking of getting a PS3 for GTA.
