I loved 6 man squads, commander, many classes and more. They made this game to crack the console market and did a poor job of it too (Cracking the market). God I wish they'd be less asshole and release mod tools so some determined alpha-nerd could replicate BF2 ala Black Mesa!

You really believe this? This is historically inaccurate lol. I seem to remember a certain asthmatic fat kid metaphor for BF2 and why you can't stand the play style.

Back when BF2 was the shit here, there was alot of talk abou the G36c and how its such a n00b gun, over powered, and nearly a hacked gun because it wad so accurate and could kill in two brusts while every other gun took 5 or 6 shots hold the G3 which still does 3 hits to kill. Battlefield was always a little arcade like. Hardcore makes BF3 more like BF Vietnam. Staying alive in that game was near impossible because Ak47 and M16s had high rates of fire ad only needed 4 shots to kill.

Right, but even the G36 required aiming and controlled bursts. Pray and spraying made it just as useless as pray and spraying with any other gun. Agreed that BF2 was arcady, but it was a really good balance between strategy and action.

Right you needed to aim and do controlled bursts, in hardcore there is none of that. People us the M60 as an assualt rifle because the spread doesn't mean shit when you only need 3 hits.

AK didn't bring (m)any back... why would any other DLC? I think people have grown tired of BF3. I don't foresee ANY game being like BF2 and stick around for 5 or 6 years. The game publishers don't want it that way. They want you to buy a new game every year, sell enough DLC to fatten their pockets and then move on to the next game.

Vehicles should now be off for rush maps when priming. Please let me know if it isn't working.

Indeed, our server flat lined right as AK came out.

BF4 who knows? I'll get it if it's like BF2. EA suckered me out of $50. I played my monies worth. They won't fool me with BF4.

Voip was only in 2 of the BF games but did they leave it out or did it not work and they said fuck it? If you think about it, if they can cut the Voip out of the programing it only saves them money.

There are zero vehicals on the AK. The main server has a Humvee but no Scout choppers. I believe the settings are working.

There are Quads on the AK.

It was an "in general" comment, not necessarily meant for this server.
