something i posted in the BF2 forums from planetbattlefield .. the thread was about accuracy.
-----------
i come from an old school FPS background, bigtime clans in Quake 1/2/TF/Tribes/CS/UT/ET..and a few others..just an FYI, i'm no noob.

i find the hitscan and damage model in BF2 to be absolutely atrocious.
it makes me feel like i am lagging or getting bad frame rate (despite having a top of the line system and a 50ping).

in all the FPS's I have given a considerable amount of time to, BF2 has the worst hitscan/damge model of them all and that was one of the many reasons i stopped playing BF2.

I really hope 2142 is more like ET and way less like BF2. i thoroughly dislike the lack of feeling i have when firing a gun in BF2, i dislike it's wayward accuracy and lack of punch.. i also never felt like my character was really "connected" to the ground.

I hope 2142 borrows very VERY little from BF2.
From the hitscan, to the browser, to the load times to the countless bugs and screwed up patches.. i hope 2142 is nothing like BF2.. and if it is.. bring on ET:QW.. which will hopefully show people how it's really done.
