"2 year wait for massive dissapointment"
Pros: graphics, map and model detail. Trauma should have stayed independent, you can tell this is their work
Cons: Bulky, cumbersome, unfinished, glitchy, ranked servers, unbalanced weapons and vehicle damage
Summary: As a long-time MOH, BF42 (DCX mod) player; I was really looking forward to this game. It has been a real let-down to be honest. The game seems to be a beta released for mass-consumption. The advent of ?ranking? and playing on ranked servers mitigates and destroys the whole Clan structure that made multiplayer fun. Each clan had their own server on their own pipeline and there was a real community but this destroys that by forcing you to rent a server from a ?trusted? EA partner in order to offer ranking which everyone wants due to the weapons unlock etc.
In my opinion; the game is messy and EA spent more time negotiating contracts with server rental companies over the last two years than working on a great game. They incorporated the ranking into their game to force you to rent servers if you have any hope of achieving traffic on your server. Joint Op?s is still a better game. Smoother, less bulky and cumbersome and less taxing on your system. Novalogic also didn?t prostitute their game to drive people to server rental companies they have a stake in. Shame on EA; they have ruined the spirit of the multiplayer clan community.

Just to throw in some facts with that incohereant opinion of yours....
Over 80% of BF2 players enjoy the ranking system.
You do not have to rent a ranked server to get your unlocks.
There are undoubtedly more unranked servers available than there are ranked servers.
You can use all of the available unlocks on unranked servers.
Ranked servers did not destoy any clan community. My clan has an unranked server. We can go play on any other clan's server if we want to play ranked games.
There's a lot more freedom to this game than some of these comments are giving.
