Its still possible to dolphin dive in BF2.

true, but, not to the extent that is was before.  Where as I can understand that you can jump in the air and dive for cover just as in RL.  I don't think that you could fly accross a football field 3 ft in the air in the a prone position (as with the macroed prone jump spam dolphin diving.)

They could just make the physics similar to 2142 or BC2 so that bunny hopping is pointless. As for dolphin-diving, well... Medics need the Revive Dive™ <3

Tracer darts and man-portable AA are a must...

Fuck tracer darts. Wire guided AT ftw.

Go portable AA.

AT4 on BC2 and wire guided AT on BF2 are PIA to use.

Wire guided are good.  I have to agree with RDMC on this I never thought them being hard to use either.  Well balanced and no complaints IMHO>

Plus the 'beep beep beep' tone that the wired guided missle gave in BF2 could drive tankers insane lol.

would be nice if tanks could be outfitted with anti-AT systems similar to the trophy anti-RPG system.  then they could really beef up the AT rockets and make it much more realistic.  infy would actually have to use ambush tactics as opposed to spraying rockets, and they would carry much fewer preventing all the spamming.

sounds like: PR ftl

DICE should make up for the VOIP fail in BFBC2 by implementing a Mumble-style positional audio in BF3.  You should be able to yell to the guys around you, as well as get on a private radio channel with your squad, wherever they are located.
Of course the option to mute individuals would then be required, too.

As much as it would improve gameplay for non-clanners. I rather have them focus on proper gameplay than some upgraded version of VOIP.

Actually being able to communicate with other people in the game doesn't constitute proper gameplay?

they did have the right idea though when the tried to impliement the VIOP.  It just didn't go over as well as it could have.  I think that there should be a a way to for all players to communicate with your squad, commander AND team.  It would be nice if others(enemy and friendly) could hear you if they are in the radius of the speaker.  But, im just talking aout loud with my wishful thinking.  Maybe, just get teh existing system to work properly first. On a side note the commander should be muted just like any other team member for spot spamming.  Just a thought.

By gameplay I was thinking more along the lines of smooth movement, proper hitreg and such. Being able to communicate to people would actually be an improvement in the game experience, not gameplay IMO. Because honestly, all you need for pub is a squad that actually follows you and works with you, don't think you need fancy VOIP for that.

Whatever happens, if BF3's modern, I hope they restore Blackhawks to their vanilla glory.

Could shoot them down easily in BF2. RPG's, AA, APC's, tanks, helicopters, LMG's and jets were all counters. The Blackhawks were used all the time as transports and air support because of this, and now they're mostly one-use A-to-B transports that abandoned by the pilot once he gets to where he wants to go.

It made NO sense whatsoever to nerf the Blackhawks but let the MEC keep their stupid auto-nade chopper which is infinitely more dangerous.
