Battlefield. Loved BF:BC2. Doesn't have jets in it, and i love how long it takes to learn how to snipe properly calculating for bullet drop etc. I dunno it feels more challenging than CoD does.
Nothing better than running around as assault or engineer and a sniper spots a group of enemies around the corner. Snipers are one of the most important. if you have bad Snipers on your team, and I don't mean number of kills, then that means your team has a high chance of struggling.
I rarely run into them, but what is over my head when the bushwookies are sitting in their own base, they could atleast go to the closest friendly flag to an enemy flag, that way they could defend the flag they are sitting on, and provide support for people that are going for flags.
If those few are good then hellyea, what makes this so good is reality not "zomg i killed everyone from 100 miles away all headshots, easy..." You also dont play live for speed just because you love to always win, unless you are Greger Huttu. Its the sense of reality, not sure if you get what i mean though...
