Well, let me see...

It's like after I played UT 2003/4 and tried to go back to UT 99. I couldn't do it.

BF2 compared to BFBC2 is like UT 99 and UT 2004.

Something just doesn't work.

Anyway...

Actually comparing BF2 to BFBC2 is like comparing a Yugo to a Mercedes

However you want to compare it, it's hard to go 'back'.

So your ready for BF3...

Good bye XP

Haven't been using XP for 2 years.

That kind of makes sense, but BF2 is a different game compared to BFBC2 and I play them as different games much like I play UT and BF2 as two different games. I was thinking you had problems with the way things are on BF2 now, most of the active servers being I/O and Karkand.

Anyway though, from the looks of the trailer of BF3, it seems that the Battlefield franchise is moving closer to Bad Company type playing, which isn't bad; but it's not BF3. We'll see though.
