Been playing CoD2 past couple of days, and there's a few things in the play/controls that I thought 'wow, would love to see that in BF2'!
Here's a wee list:
1] Proper smoke grenades ~ the smoke pots in CoD2 are fantastic (as is the smoke animation!). You really cannot see a thing through this smoke and it does provide very good cover for crossing 'hot' areas, like open ground or across junctions.
The smoke pots are also a SpecOps dream! One of the senarios in CoD2 has you placing explosives on German tanks ~ using the smoke grenades you can run through clouds of smoke and plant your explosives relatively easily!
2] Sniper 'breathing' ~ I know there is a few guys in dMw (like myself) that have had Army small arms training, including rifle marksmanship. One of teh most fundemental and important factors in good aiming is controlling your breathing.
CoD2 simulates this terrifically well, and it makes teh sniper experience all the better.
Aim the sniper rifle in CoD2 and when you look through the scope there is a little 'wobble' which makes it difficult to get an accurate shot. BUT press 'shift' and you hear your character take a breath - and hold it, and for a few short seconds you rifle steadies up and you get the chance for a accurate sniping shot!
Great eh!
3] Space to vault low objects (walls, etc) ~ to get over broken walls, sandbags and up ditches you must press space to do this.
I would like to see this with NO ability to jump in BF2.
This would stop bunny hopping and dolphin diving.

Well, this si what I have noticed so far that is done better in CoD2 than it is in BF2, as I go along I may see more.
One other thing of special not is the superb weapoin modelling in CoD2 - they are one level better done (look more realistic) than BF2. The Russian SMGs in particular are fantastic...
In fact, if I had either of the Russian SMGs from CoD2 as the default weapon for the AT guy I would play that class all the time!!!
(The German MP40 on the other hand is pants! About the same as that crap Chinese SMG in BF2, but with a slower rate of fire!)

Strangly enough ~ I would also like the .303 Lee Enfield from CoD2 to replace the M24 sniper rifle from BF2...!!! ~ I kid you not! :)
