BF2 is many steps above BF1 in the gameplay department. It's mechanically reasonable with a sense of skill gap and the dogfighting found a happy medium between the scrubby arcade shit from last time and more rewarding flight control. It accomplishes the 'arcadey FPS' angle that ended up so vapid last time.
Downside is the way reduced freedom of the sandbox compared to 2005 BF2. The big battle modes have these scripted phases that infuriate me as a trend, and again I miss those old space battles with the bording and such.
So no I'm not talking about PEW PEW. I'm on point when I'm talking game mechanics especially with FPS and fighters. However you feel about the overal package, this is a better playing game than before. Much better.
