Grr...

I need a break from that game is all. Thanks for your help guys, I'll check out the suggestions. Btw, my BF2 soldier is "strike-4454" in case I've ran across anyone on the maps. I mainly hung out on the =ESU= Kubra Dam server or 2F4Y's Karkand server.

FPS is actually a very broad genre that covers a whole range of gameplay elements and those elements can change between multiplayer and single player as well.

The Battlefield series is actually a 'warfare' FPS game where you are dropped on a large map to wage a war. You have armor, air, and infantry moving towards an objective.

Subcatagory of that subcatagory would be 'tactical' FPS games where you are primarily infantry and you have to use team work to kill the other team. GRAW and Rainbow Six come to mind with this catagory.

Call of Duty is a straight 'shooter' FPS where you have a gun and you shoot at things. You could argue that it has a tactical element to its multiplayer as well, but there is also a feel to independant actions.

Then you have 'stealth' FPS games like Splinter Cell where combat is a 2nd best choice to stealth.

Crossing subcatagories (IE looking for a BF fix from CoD or SC) is destined for failure because you just won't find what you're looking for.

As for your complaints, you might want to be more specific. Are you looking for more realistic damage when shooting or easier aiming mechanics (even spraying and praying you should get the kill if you shoot first and have decent aim)? For the tank round are you disatisfied with the armor of your targets, the manuverability of evasion, or the aiming mechanics again?

If you want more realistic damage and a better feel to battlefield danger then you might want to stick with BF2 and check out Project Reality. From what I hear its quite brutal and satisfying to those realism buffs. If you want a more arcadey point and shoot game then you can go with Enemy Territory Quake Wars because the weapons are always obscenely accurate and you can take 5 bullets to the head and still keep fighting in some circumstances. BF2142 is a nice medium between BF2 and ETQW in that it has a more futuristic arcade feel while keeping true to the mechanics that were realistic (what there was of it) in BF2. Then you have all those upcoming new games that haven't been released to play with as well.
