Give it a try if you tire of the endless jet/helo rape and want to focus on a more infantry based combat system.

so right you are

Yes.

It is a refreshing break from BF2.

All the haters just expected it to be so similar to BF2 that its differences (like no overpowered vehicles).

./Win

I say no why lot of reasons just plain out EA plus I hate future games I cant wait til they make a BF3/BF4 thats modern IF they do.

I was the same as you, i dont like CS and have had bf2 for ages, its the only game to keep me for hundreds of hours (except WoW, *shudders*)

for the first maybe 40 hours i loved it, ranking up every day was fun and so many weapons i couldnt remember all the names, but eventually the novelty of all the gadgets wears off, and its just plain annoying.

IMO, the game is far too noob friendly. everyone has these helmets, which when a squad member seen an enemy, thier location is traced on your HUD by a big red diamond. its so rediculously cheap, you can see people through walls and youll always have the element of surprise. Add that to FF off on claymores, Assault rifles which double up as rocket launchers, snipers with like 500x magnification, walkers which rape the shit out of everything, including air and light machine guns which get more accurate the longer you fire them, its a noobs paradise, and the game is infested with em.

unless you have a clan to play with, dont ever expect to get revived, resupplied or a squad leader who knows how to use a beacon.

It's a very clever game in that if you try a demo or play it at a friends house it can be very fun for a small amount of time.

It doesn't keep you entertained for more than 200 hours max.

You could say that whoever designed this game is a genius, making it so you try it and think it's awesome, only to get a few weeks of entertainment from it.

9/10 games don't keep most people entertained for more than 50 hours. 200 hours of fun is 4x what most games give you.

The keyword is max.

I would imagine we're talking about Pc games? In which case they keep people entertained for a longer time.

I still stand by my statement.

Fair enough.

Would you agree that the way 2142 was designed was very clever?
