With out bf2 there would be no poe2 so bf2 is better.

Without BF42 there would be no BF2, so BF42 is better. Without Doom 1 there would be no BF42, so Doom 1 is better. Without Dune 2 there would be no Starcraft, so Dune 2 is better.

BF2 profited much from the popularity of the mods for BF 1942. Mods keep many players with the game that would otherwise be bored by the gameplay, so don't dismiss mods because they depend on BF2. And PoE2 is not a normal mod, at this time it is the most sophisticated modification, and in my opinion it is even, if not better than BF2 in gameplay and variety. PoE2s models and sounds are better than vanillas. (Keep in mind IMHO, please). But I would like to know what other reasons there are that BF2 is better than PoE2.

I say "shit yeah!!" It's a completely different game, imo, as its more vehicle oriented excepting a couple of maps.. but that doesnt make infantry shit as long grass helps you to keep concealed quite easily and tanks usually dont become too powerful with (at last) rpg style AT rockets that dont prevent the tanker, spec ops that can actually sneak up on your tank and blow your ass with c4... well i love that stuff! nothing is actually too powerful; not even helicopters or planes that can shot down quite easily with non missile AA guns... not to talk about that evil fliegerfaust beast! Just a perfect balance for my taste.

Also gameplay is much different as, again imo, its much more tactical and gives enemy spotting and squad playing a true meaning; unless you get ambushed and your squad gets completely wiped out... having a good squad leader that keeps a spawn ready for the team to assault is basic and has a much more noticeable effect than in bf2.... maybe because of those long distances between flags.
Also its a slower game, mainly because you have to be careful as guns are so deadly... I dont think distances are such a big problem: there are plenty of jeeps and APV's that are fast as hell to travel between flags (and they carry more people than in bf2 where you can only choose between fast 3 people buggies and 4 people turtles) only travelling on transport APC is boring as they are slow and you cant do much... but hey, its safer.

Also i love the idea of sabot and heat rounds for tanks... and that they kicked out that damned bf2 "balance" that was mainly making most weapons and vehicles the same one with different skins.

The only thing i dislike slightly is that germans only have G36 variants... i like some more variety, like on UKR team...which i actually believe it's much better equipped and overpowers a bit the GER team.

I didn't read much of the posts in this thread, buy my opinion is that if POE2 goes ranked(which rumors have been going around sayint it is going ranked or already is starting to go ranked) it will then begin to suck.

<3 PoE.

I'm not leaving bf2 or forgetting it, but PoE is where the sweet, immersive, epic stuff is. For those saying too much armour, I've seen columns of 5-6 tanks get pinned down and wiped out by a handful of infantry using cover and guarding a vital bridge, I've been in tank assaults where two or three infantry have consistently held a flag against armour, etc, etc. I also love the return of 1942 style artillery - it is much scarier being shelled by a human player than it is being saturation-bombed by automatic click-to-place artillery. The same way it's scarier being sniped than it is being punished for leaving the combat area.

More to the point it's less armour-whorey than bf2, because in PoE there is so much armour that being in armour doesnt make you safe.
It's like, whoop-di-fuckin-do, I'm in a tank. What's that over there? Crapsticks, it's four enemy tanks. *die*

Fallen is great, but I'd hate to play it constantly. For me part of the awesomeness of PoE is the variety.
