yesterday evening I visited a dear friend of mine. He stopped finally playing EQ2 and he started to get interested in BF2. He showed me a level playing vs. bots and than left the keyboard and mouse for me to play. Through the evening we played matches against the AI and watched the other guy play. It was interesting to see how different our gameplay styles are. He was more tactical, very cautious and all in all more defensive while I took a typical FPS-SinglePlayer approach: run-and-gun-style. Only 60sec into the game I hopped on a hostile humvee and fragged the gunner and the driver came out and got his load. My friend was like jaw-droppingly stunned. He said, he never thought one could play this way. This, from a guy who used to play quake2 against me. We had a funny and interesting evening - until 2:00am ... Still, I cannot say I really liked it, because I couldn't figure out how to command the bots effectively (like I can do in UT), and somehow the targets can take a lot while I can hide somewhere unseen, but the cpu would know where I am and wipe me out with one shot.
