Battlefield 2, who else is excited for it?

[Dark Jezter]

I've seen several ENWorld threads in this forum regarding Battlefield 1942 and Battlefield Vietnam, so naturally I'm curious if anybody has been keeping track of Battlefield 2 (due out in 2005). I've been reading previews for it, and it sounds like it's gonna be really cool. It features...

• Modern vehicles and weapons.
• Three different factions: the United States Marine Corps, the Chinese People's Liberation Army, and a fictional Middle-Eastern Coalition.
• Seven different classes to choose from: Sniper, Special Ops (sneaks around and blows stuff up), Light Infantry, Heavy Infantry (basically a machinegunner), Antitank Soldier, Medic, and Combat Engineer.
• A realistic bullet penetration system (a thin wooden fence might hide you from view, but it ain't gonna stop incoming fire).
• Ragdoll physics system.
• Voice communication support with USB headset.

It looks like it's sure to become a multiplayer sensation when it comes out. Hopefully by that time I'll have a high-speed internet connection so I won't be restricted to playing it at LAN parties.

I'm going to wait on BF 2 until after its out. I got hosed with BF:V. BF:V should have had certin features in it since day one:
1. Server name/ IP on the scoreboard.
2. The buddy/ map vote system from BF 1942.
3. Mine/ trap warning for team mates from BF 1942.
4. Being able to short server list by ping.

None of those things were in BFV until the big patch almost 5 months later. I'm going to wait and make sure those things are in BF 2 from the start.
I'm more interested in Star Wars Battlefront myself.
