Seems to me that the "ceiling" on skill in BF2 is not that high. Once you have learned how to shoot, the only thing that distinguishes pro from average players is reg, and every frag movie I see (of which 90% are near identical) just reaffirms this belief.
But hey, who cares, the game is insanely good fun no matter what your hitreg is like. And we only play for fun anyway, amirite?
Sorry, wrong.
There are so many other things that define a player.
His team mates, movement, teamwork ability etc I could go on and on.
Well okay, I exaggerated a little, although crouch-spamming and bunnyhopping are within the capacity of all but the most crappy players, as are medkit, revive and ammo spamming. As for team mates, getting revived a lot obviously helps, but how does that qualify as skill?
The things that mark an effective infantry player are experience and judgement, not skill. The ones who really do well are the guys who understand the map and the flow of the battle and know where the enemy are going to go next. All the other things can be learned in a few minutes and perfected in a few hours.
