One of my favorite parts of playing a Bafflefield game was that feeling of combined arms combat. Infantry running alongside armor, getting air support from jets and helicopters? Super dope. The squad gameplay was great, too, because it felt like I was actually [i]contributing[/i] something. Like we actually needed four people of each class for the whole to be effective.

And now it's a giant deathmatch game where the classes don't matter and it's all about running and gunning.

Don't get me wrong: Call of Duty's a great series too, and one of the most successful for a reason. But Battlefield never was- and never should be- Call of Duty.

Call of Duty has been ripping off Medal of Honor for a long time and doing well. Battlefield has always run opposite to that style... but I guess the "EA ruins everything" meme is what it is. Closest thing to Battlefield 2 nowadays is Rising Storm and ARMA, unfortunately.
