You say that as if it took me some great expenditure of effort to type it...
Community changes ways of playing based on how the game mechanics work. It worked great before, even in BC2. They are attempting to address most of my issues in the patch, but some things cannot be fixed because they are core to how the game functions. That is to say, they can't change the class structure; they can't give the C4 to the Recon, or take away Claymores from Support. All they can do is nerf or buff attributes for certain things.
Sure BF2 is populated just fine and I do play it, but I also enjoy playing with my friends. They have moved on to BF3, and so I have to follow. I don't play BF3 by myself, that would make me some kind of masochist.
Also, great to see that you take time to cry about people crying. Model poster, for sure. Would read again, A++ material.
