That coupled with no fly-by cam = sadface. Being able to fly in the 3rd person was mostly what separated trash from decent pilots in BF2. Permanent cockpit is also pretty obnoxious.

There were plenty of amazing dogfights in BF2, it just usually required both pilots to be adept at actually dogfighting, which 99% of the population was not =p

If you honestly don't think this gameplay is a -massive- increase over the likes of BC2, you are delusional or purposely lying to yourself.
Besides, if all I got was a BF2 clone with super enhanced graphics and a new engine I would be super excited with that alone. However, this game is turning out to be a very, very good game potentially.
What's with all the negative Nancie's in here?
You shouldn't make an opinion on this game until you played at least two full games on Caspian Border, in my opinion.

You see, I could mindlessly throw out baseless stereotypes too.
Of course this game does not have the same "thinking level" and "strategy" to that of Red Orchestra 2 or Osfront (which are my favorite games as of now in terms of MP shooters) but neither was Battlefield 2, on that token.
But I digress:

Operation Metro is no real indication of this game.

No idea, I had the last two but I stopped caring after I had a solid ~5 hours playing on it.
I really felt like I was playing BF2 again when I was banking a Jet and looked out and then saw it:
Dozens of people fighting all across the map. AA guns shooting into the air like crazy, tanks moving on positions and massive infantry battles that would last for minutes. I mean, it was just so fucking good, I'm hyped man.

On Caspian Border. Which a lot of players can't access right now.
Also, if you are getting "constantly sniped" you are just simply bad. Don't blame the game. I am going 20-5ish every single game on average on Operation Metro on Assault, don't even get me started on Defense. People are over sniping sometimes, yes, but it's by no means a problem nor will it be because it's so rarely happening.
Trust me, when everyone gets to play on Caspian Border you will get your plethora of vehicles.
Its just hyperbole, I can stand in a building to get KD ratio up too, its just not very fun. Will just not play until I can play on a real battlefield map.

Yeah, that's my one gripe right now. I do hope they listen and speed them up a bit, at least on PC's for those of us that actually care over here. I understand why they did it, but I'm moving slower than Helicopters sometimes it seems.
Well from playing the subway map i can say that i like the feeling of the engine. That's the main thing for being a good shooter, at least for me. I think i'll preorder now.

Once you get to experience some serious combined arms combat you'll like it even more. I to really like the "feel" of the weapons and movement right now. Huge improvement from earlier games, because let's face it, Infantry combat has never been BF's strong suit. Hit registration needs some looking over, and there need to be some balance changes, but other than that I think it's really solid, especially for a game that is so much more than just a shooter.

Perhaps, yet I havn't played an FPS in about 6 years and can still sit in a building to get a nice KD ratio ^_^.
What I'm curious about is how people are glitching into the floors, I've seen it a few times where people are inside the floor shooting up killing people, but you can't shoot back at them O.o
This Origin is the most stupid shit I've ever seen in my entire life. Who gives a shit about matching on web browser but not in the actual game? Why am I waiting here after download Origin, bunch of component and add on for the website and now it just keep saying matchmaking for 30 mins already?

don't do match making, custom look is so much superior imo.

Jets in BF2 were joke overpowered FYI, not some glorious work of art
