Last night on Joint Ops Escalation was fun. It brought back memories, especially knifing 10-20 guys in a map! It also made me realize why I was so glad BF2 was released, I never looked back (or even loaded JO on my system). The TK glitches, the "hack" where AI can see through mountains and objects to know right where you are. It was fun, but I may have had my fill.

On to BF2...I used to love to play that game. Then came bunnyhopping, dolphin diving, frag spamming, and let's not forget the guys who just plain hack. The game also has it's inherent flaws for sure. The way a guy can jump 4 feet straight up in the air from a dead standstill. Maybe to jump like that (especially with all that gear), the guy should have to crouch way down first, and take longer to do it. Also the lack of damage modeling on vehicles...OK I hit your tank with and rocket and it didn't blow up. It should maybe slow turn to the right...turret should maybe lock or have limited movement, but no, it works just like it was new. Same with helos and jets..shouldn't they spin a bit, or become hard to control?

Anyway, what I'm getting at, is the most fun I had playing BF2 was on our server when we had it set up to get all OSG on the same side. We would start out small and on other teams, but as people jumped in, we could get on our own side. We could kick hoppers, spawn rapers, and hackers, so at least that portion of the game was taken care of. I know there are scrim nights and mod nights, but for me, being on the same team, kicking ass and taking names, was the best! (some of us still complain...I won't mention names but one of them starts with "P" and ends with "unisher" -- I may have complained once or twice too) Maybe when Joint Ops interest dies out, we can try a OSG against all comers night in BF2. I really miss that!

PD- What you have mentioned about your problems with BF2, fits what I feel about it as well. Besides the fact that I'm just totally burnt out on it, the hackers have really ruined the game. The Infantry Only option is great except for : not all maps are useful, everyone just chucks grenades, and/or plays sniper war. Sure it is fun to play with all OSG guys on one side, but I seriously lack interest in playing BF2 anymore. Plus, it can be a pain in the rear to constantly try keeping all OSG on one side as an admin. Under one setting, balance teams, it is next to impossible. Under the other option of turning that off, knuckleheads freely switch to the winning side all the time and do not pay attention to any kind of balance.

That being said, GRAW2 and the "revival" of Rainbow Six (3 and Vegas) is what has interested me the most. The AI is tough as hell in all of them and "smart", unlike JO where they do things like you mentioned. I still enjoy a Joint Ops game here and there, but the others mentioned above is where my interest is right now....until of course, Medal of Honor and COD4 come out!

Yeah, hopefully we'll get more guys playing GRAW2, and some new maps as well!

I second your comments PD, I enjoy BF2 if we get a good turn out Punisher is on receiving smack talk. He has been known to give a bit as well. 8) I am willing to play most games FPS I get way too get dizzy doing a lot of that oval racing. I have enjoyed the RS3 server with the custom maps. I enjoy both GRAW games, I wish there were some new COOP GRAW2 maps. But if we could get enough on GRAW 2 there are some really neat Death match maps even Team deathmatch ones. We should try some of those soon, as well as the other modes.

PsycoDad, play the BF2 Project Reality mod. It does away with all that bullshit. BF2 PR is in the Scrim Night rotation. Download it and join us.

I will. I have 0506 and never installed it - and I see there is 0609 out there now, I'll grab it. Is there a certain night it's played? Also, is it OSG vs OSG or is it open? I'm guessing it doesn't count towards stats as well, but it sounds great.
