@ZathexI agree with a lot of your points. BF2042 conquest is not at all like the conquest experience of other titles Certainly not BF4 and earlier. BF2042 conquest doesn't flow well, and you are almost constnatly under attack from 360 degrees. Often spawning on an objective, only to be placed nowhere near the flag and right in front of an enemy or tank.
The spawn system in BF2042, combined with increased player count, and bad design decisions (e.g. too much vertical gameplay, vehicles on buildings, map layouts, etc.) makes for terrible flow. The increased soldier movement speeds, high ROF weapons with low sever tickrates (TTK/TTD problems). It's too frenetic now.
I think a big part of the problem is the lack of reward and incentive for doing things that promote teamplay and winning. No more bonuses for completing squad leader orders. They've gutted so many features and removed the tools required for squad managment. I think smaller squads also leads to more lone wolfing.
I also agree with your points about Lis missle nerf being too hard. I don't have an issue with the reduced speed, range, and boost. But they went too far on the nerf to its maneuverability.
