I was seeing people leave arena shooters for the military shooters long before BR games were a thing. My lan group was more interested in RPing as army dudes then any thing that required fast reflexes. I played way too many hours of Battlefield 2 just because I was trying to be social with that group. Terrible game. The fan made maps were pretty good, but because fan made maps were never ranked, no one would play them outside of lan parties.
One guy was like that, but I really hated how samey the maps and weapons all were. Very little important difference between the vehicles within their class. Most engagements came down to who say the other person first. If it was more realistic and I could disable a tank’s movement by targeting the treads first or if driving a buggy from too high a drop would blow out the suspension, I would probably liked it more, but you really couldn’t play it very creatively.

You didn’t like JDAM’s fired by the world’s sweatiest jet pilots all the way up your asshole 24/7?
