Well, had my first stint on CoD2 multiplayer...
First of ~ is it me or is this just Unreal Tournament with historical weapons?
Death Match, Capture the Flag, Team deathmatch...!!!
Lots of running about in total chaos and being fragged from no-where every other second!
NO TACTICS WHATSOEVER!
:(
If I want to play UT I will play UT!
The only nice touch was the fact that when you did get shot you got an instant recording of your killers last 5 or 10 seconds to show how you got killed....Kinda cool! And I think Dewey said he would like something like this function for BF2)...
Call of Duty seems to be screaming out for some sort of co-operative game mode where you and your mates can undertake a tactical mission together.
BF2's 'Cap a Flag' way of doing things at least provides you with a fixed objective over which to fight...
Capturing a flag (and then running away with it) simply means you are in complete ignorance where your objective is most of the time...So you end up running round like a headless chicken!
Another 'up side' is the CoSD2 maps look good - but to be honest the action is SO chaotic and fast that you hardly have time to take in the secenery.
What a shame.
Any comms?
But is the no tactics whatsoever common everywhere, or is it just the majority of servers? After all, a lot of the BF2 servers out there seem to be only marginally better than team deathmatch/UT capture the flag.
We're spoilt ;)

I *think* there is a comms system built in CoD2 ~ but from what I saw on the server lists a great many had this turned off!
I guess there is always Team Speak!

We serpently are!

In fact I would like to see how dMw guys would play some of teh CoD2 multiplayer maps...
Would it be more tactical?
As you say, going by the [CZ] guys who were on the other night ~ there is a deathmatch, fragging attitude to a lot of the guys out there!
But we had that with [CoD] too when we played them...SO unfortunately there are too few mature, fair-play clans around like dMw and [TG].
:(
I had trouble recognising who was who...
good laugh though, tiny bit odd with the seemingly easy headshots. :huh:
Agree with Ranger though, it needs more of an objective based format.
