I believe day/night cycles are possible in BF2.  I saw a video on YouTube.  There was a rising and setting sun and moon on a field, I believe it was tested by Project Reality.

Anyway, it really isn't necessary.  I also hate the night maps.  It is too difficult to see, mainly because you aren't there.....your eyes cannot adjust to the darkness like they can in real life.  So really, you're sitting in your room, getting glare on a screen that is pitch black.  Even with contrast and brightness turned up all of the way I can ever make out anything.  I am not going to put tin foil over my window to make sure my room is completely dark, just to play one map every once and awhile.

I usually disconnect immediately if I join a server that has a night map running.

I think that the concept of night maps is fantastic, but it just doesn't work in a computer simulation environment for the average joe who plays at home.

The reason I dislike single player is because there is no element of hiding.  The bots always know where you are, even if you are behind a thick bush.

Also they don't aim and they fire their rifles extremely quickly with great accuracy.

Sometimes it is the only alternative to empty servers, though

I agree, why don't they just joint he development team?

It seems like they could use some help.  I would assume the help would be welcome, as long as the individuals were talented enough to keep up?

I agree with what he is saying.

Although I believe EA has officially stated that they will replace the Gamespy servers for BF2.  The same can't be said about BF1942, though.  But I believe BF2 will be saved, at least for now, after the May 31st Gamespy shut-down.

I just got home from work so I most definitely will!

BTW, ForgottenKevinOHope, are you a Chicagoland resident by chance?  I notice your avatar...

Where was everyone?

I gamed from about 6 pm - 7 pm (-600 GMT Central) and there were only about 6 people on the 762 server.

It seems like the player base is shrinking every day.

After launch there was about 30-50 on during this same time-frame.

These past two weeks there have been less than 20 players on average during the same time.

Although on the weekends I have seen 100+ players on the 762 servers.  But 100 players is too much for me.  So I jump on the second 762 server, but then there are like 10 players on there, which is too boring.

My ideal playing environment is no more than 50-60 players on the same server simultaneously.  70-100 is too much, lag suffers at that point.

Also, I almost forgot.  From the videos I have watched, I believe FH's cyclic speed for the Lewis machine gun is way too high.

I have not noticed this with the half tracks, although I usually stay out of them.

At the core, the Kubelwagon and Jeep are extremely slow at accelerating.  They should be some of the most nimble and quick of all of the vehicles.

I know the Bren carrier doesn't accelerate immediately, but it seems to accelerate more quickly than the Jeep and Kubelwagon.  The Bren carrier has a bit of a delay but once it starts moving it really goes.
