I went into Vanilla BF2 a couple of times with some of my team mates and after a few rounds I go right back into POE. Most of my guys are playing POE now.  One problem I have had though is laggy play with the 1.4 patch.  Wish that would get cleared up, if it hasn't already.

If by less accurate you mean a five year old moron can see you from halfway across the map and shoot you in the face unscoped, then yes, they are less accurate.

POE2 keeps a certain kind of audience. Many of the people who tried POE2 are now trying out BF2 again with the new Patch. I suspect once they get tired of the new map "Road to Jalalabad" they will either come back to POE2 or else they might stick with Infantry Only servers. I actually enjoy Infantry Only servers for BF2 but POE2 is still my main bread and butter these days. At least until BF2142 comes out. Then I will share time with that as well as POE2.

I'm off PoE for a while, I'm waiting til they finish the extra statics they need to make some city maps.

Its true , they need to lower the accuracy of most of the guns, sniper is a kinda pointless class sinse u can achieve near the same accuracy with an assault rifle 0o

i love POE2, i don't think there's anything wrong with anything in that mod.

to the guy who complained of laggyness, did u do the full patch?? i did and it works fine. also do some system maintenance (sp?) defrag, etc, made mine run smoother and load a litter fast.

fallen is awesome, most of the maps are awesome in fact, some are a little too massive tho and tricky to navigate (Carpathian mountains)

but otherwise, a massive thumbs up to POE2 developers, look forward to the expansion/patch (heard it will contain us and Russian army's?)

I did both the incremental and the full patches with the same result.  I have Reg. Mech and run it once a week.  I defragged my drives right afterwards, all 4 of them.  I have two guys on my team whom have high ping issues with the 1.4 patch as well.  I have no clue what that is.   Not in just POE but in BF2 as well.  They both went back to the 1.3 version and their ping cleared up.  Did the full install of the patch 1.4 and the ping issue came right back on every server we played in.  I do not have a clue what is causing that problem. Their systems aren't even close to the same either.   I couldn't find a common denominator to each one that would cause this.  I even had them go and check for newer MB and ethernet drivers and they had the latest ones.  I am lost on that one.....
I played tonight for a bit and my laggyness has seemed to go away.  Don't ask me how.  It has also cleared up in BF2 as well.

i know how to shoot in bf2. Let me be more precise. I think that POE gives much harsher penalties to accuracy while moving. I like to shoot while moving and have figured out the distances at which i can do this effectively using most bf2 weapons. In POE its seems that one must be closer to the target in order to do this. To me this slows down the combat on a game that already has much slower combat than similar games.

I don't know about vengeance, i seem to recall him always pointing out how he was in the top 10 and what not a while back, so I leave him out, maybe he knows how to shoot, but "Noobzorz" and "-solv3r-," be aware that i could easily own the shit out of you at infantry combat.

Somebody should just post the numbers on the POE2 weapons rather than pointing out the obvious (that I'm high).

POE2 is a more tactical game. It is more for ambushes and co-ordinated squad attacks than the normal rush with all guns blazing of vanilla BF2. I prefer POE2 because kneeling now is effective at increasing accuracy and the camoflauge that snipers have is actually affecting, there is no more "painted dirt" grass (it actually has grass that u can hide in) and that the assault weapons are actually accurate enough to out-shoot most weapons at medium range (maybe besides weapons like the silenced g36c and the AS Val)

Hah .. what?

PoE infantry combat is freakin insane! Surely you've played Orel or Fallen? The one thing they could never be called is slow!

POE has a "cheap" feeling about it. I prefer vanilla. Plus the jets suck.

The jets sucks??? Imo they are awesome, but they are a little bit different the the BF2 jets. And the groundforces got better AA so they have a chance to fight back

The SU-25 Frogfoot is brilliant at decimating armour and vehichles.

The Tornado is also brilliant to kill armour and vehicles (Not as good as the frogfoot), but it requires some teamwork do do it, and it can also hold its own in a dogfight

The Eurofighter is my fav, it owns in the sky and it can also take down tanks and stuff

The MIG-25 Foxbat is a hit and run fighter, it´s fast as hell

P.S. There is one thing I don´t like about POE2, the tanks health and fire. I know that the tank front armour is strong, but it shouldn´t  take 4-7 sabot rounds to kill it...

you guys can disagree with me all you want about the accuracy, but I am fairly certain that it is lower while moving than in bf2.

Pliskens point is valid, this means you get more out of working as a team and firing from multiple stationary positions rather than trying to control territory by running and gunning. I just happen to find the fast paced firefights of bf2 more fun than the more careful, more camping based (and cryptically based) firefights that I have seen in POE. Its just my opinion. And also, whats with the shoulder launched missiles falling like stones?

Yeah the accuracy while moving has almost been confirmed by other players who use this forum, and I believe that accuracy while kneeling has been increased to make it more attractable than proning all the time to get the shots on target.
Everyone has their opinion, I prefer the more tactical POE2 to the  n00biness/hacking/stat padding that occurs more frequently in BF2 vanilla.
To answer your question, they "drop like stones" because they are more like tank shells with the initial momentum being the only power they have and not being able to be wire-guided, unlike the SRAW/Eryx in BF2.
