1. CoD4 is, and will probably always be one of my favorite games of all time. That being said, I sorely miss the ability to start a map on your lonesome. I regularly did this on CoD4 just to try out a new spot, a new approach to the target, where the grenade lands if I throw it from a selected spot at a selected angle, or just to get acquainted with the map if I felt I needed it.

On BF:BC though, you have the choice to invite friends to a private game, or join one. That’s it. It might sound weird, but the best players in CoD4, i found, were those that leapt into “training” once they saw someone in a spot they didn’t know about simply because you don’t have time to explore things like this when there’s 10 suicidal maniacs with tanks and explosives hunting you.

2. Remove knife-attack delay!!! My god how I despise that delay! In the game, I find I have to stop running way, way, way before I get to a door / enemy, and push the knife button long before I’m actually close to the target. This is the single biggest flaw in the game, without a doubt. It makes the game feel slow and dull at times. Some might say that it’s more realistic with a delay, but if I wanted to play a simulator, I would buy one.

3. There is a flaw with the mortar-strike that I learned the hard way. When you’re sitting in a bush for cover/stealth, and want to call a mortar-strike, you have to move out of the bush and then call in the mortar-strike. If you don’t, it will land on your head, and seeing as you’re playing Support, most likely on your team as well.

4. I would like to see the bullet from a sniper rifle fall after a set amount of traveling distance, like has been the case in other BF games. I don’t know why, but pulling off a long-distance shot just doesn’t feel as good when the bullet goes straight ahead for miles. This one will probably be unpopular though…

That’s my take
