Battlefield 2 was a really groundbreaking game. The problem wasn't the game but the poor support. It was a game filled with imbalances and bugs. I remember the airpower was ridiculously overpowered, and they did nothing to fix it for months. The jets would frag people like 50-1 kills. Then there were the helicopters of death where a copter would carry a medic and enginners, which could heal and fix the chopper making it nearly impossible to kill. If they had just fixed the original game and updated it, COD would have never had the opportunity to flourish.
The only one to blame was EA for not recognizing the potential of the original game and letting COD take root. It reminds me of the way WoW was able to dominate largely due to the failure of competitors.
Anyone can guess. It takes no effort to throw out lots of predictions and have some of them be correct. You are not and wiser or better for having your guesses be right. Even a blind man can hit the bullseye.
