>>715951930>Basically, fun sacrificed for the sake of realism and advancementThey didn't sacrifice them for that, BC2 is a much smaller game in games which was designed in mind with 24 player cap for consoles and a limited amount of vehicles (with the exception of Heavy Metal), doing the same for a traditional 64 player environment is terrible since it would ruin cover.
BF3, BF1 and BFV have attempted to compensate this change via destructible urban environment maps like in Grand Bazaar, Seine Crossing, Amiens and Rotterdam.
