BF3 is still a hell of a lot closer to BF in general than CoD.
And there was no CoD after 4, cause you can't really call the same game released like 4 times with miniscule differences a new game.

See, that's actually something I can agree with, the commander-part, but you still have squadleaders in BF3, granted so special gadgets though.

Saying that added content (TDM) is bad is kinda grasping at straws, noone is forced to play it.
Minimap as useless is a first for me.
And teamplay being "butchered", because of removed commander, is really pushing it.

Polished isn't the first word for me that comes to mind when thinking of BF2142.
Shit, I still remember when early on whenever the Titan moved that you couldn't even do anything on it anymore, because it would just fuck up.

Also i clearly remember spamming grenades out of portable ammo boxes in BF2 for laughs but i might be misremembering.

I remember grenadelaunchers being pretty much the only weapon being use near the end.
