Well, now that I finally have my main PC connected to the internet I can play the BF2 Demo. From what I've played, It's pretty damn fun. Flying the Harrier is a blast, Tanks handle smooth but definately need support. They can get wtfpwned by Infantry if they are not carefull.
By far, the coolest thing about this is the new leadership options they have added into the game. Now you have a commander and (I don't know how many) Squadleaders. People joining a game have the option of joining up with squads already in the field or starting up their own. Commanders can give orders such as Attack, Defend, Move, ect.... on the map that is visiable to everyone on your team. On top of this they also have the ability to scan the map for enemies, call in UAV(Unmanned Aerial Vehicles), drop Health and Ammo, and even drop barrages of artillery on top of the enemies heads.
One of the biggest dissapointments I have with the game right now is the lack of people using the built in VoIP. The sound is crisp and clear. With added channels to allow Squadleaders to talk to only their squads and for commanders to speak just to squadleaders, people are missing out on an excellent organizational tool.
If you liked BF1942 give it a shot, if you liked DC, it's pretty much the same thing, but the aircraft are easier to handle.
On a side note, DICE(BF2 devs) pulled a dick move right on the sole reason BF1942 lasted so long. As some of you may know, the DC team was hired by DICE to work on BF2. Last week they fired all of them.
