Good read Surfy.
I think they should change that last word to saturated, a lot of FPS's are now looking and playing alike with just a few variations in storyline or weapons.
BF2 has and always will be the defining game for me as an innovative FPS. The squad comma rose was just fantastic to use, simple design yet it added a nice element to the game and provided the possibility of 'leading from the front' with the basic commands.
I have played COD4 MW but I refuse to buy MW2 and Black Ops. Greedyvision will continue pushing the same old scenarios we've seen many times and I think that will be their downfall.
Sadly, Medal of Honour finished for me as a player with their last game.
I hope BF3 will regain the crown, DICE have the opportunity to make something special and if they do I think it will be the best FPS ever released :D
