pretty amazing game,
lots of new things, style, interfaces, controls etc.
the basics are like DCF POE, but lots new stuff, the sprint ability is
very good, Commander mode works well, to my suprise.
the sniper rifles are not good, cant hit a barn door with them.
not sure if its learning new lead points or the bullets drop with
distance. the SVD feels better in use than the M24.
one thing, the Snipers have good Gilly suits, coverd in ragged cloth,
so look very shaggy, and blend into the ground nicely.
The land vehicles like tanks, APCs, Humvees, DPVs are very very good,
the DPV crys out for a BF2 stunt map.
in the options menus, theres separate control selection screens for
common, land, aircraft, helicopters, sea.
if you set the joystick settinsg the same for air and helos,
you get the game complaining aboutr duplicate controls, but it still
works ok, theres a lack of a view cycle bind, which is a shame.
I coundnt see one....
the players jumping is a bit over the top, but prob will get fixed in a
patch, and its not too bad, the graphics are stunning, and dont lag like
BFV at high resolutions, the new graphics engine is superb.
the maps have very good vegatation, the long grass sways in the wind.
much much improved over BFV.
the single player mode in the demo has a round time of 10 minutes,
the MP mode has a limit of 12 minutes, so you play the map over and
over, we will get sick of that 'gulf of oman' map lol.
the scenery and buildings are very good, ladders work very well,
the water texture is amazing, looks real.
all in all DICE have done a brillient job,
when the Mods convert over to BF2, we will be in heaven.
prob wont see DC or DCF, but DCR and DCX are converting.
BG42 and FH will too, POE and a few BFV mods are doing likewise.
check out the POE website for some good model renders.
The stock BF2 game doesnt have too much variety of vehicles,
but the mods will make up for it.
go download the demo and enjoy.
