Well I am a "less than average" plane/chopper pilot, and I think it´s a shame that 1 good plane pilot in BF2 can OWN the entire server even with excellent players as enemy infantry, tanks drivers and in the AA guns (Not a good thing for game balance if you ask me), also I am a regular commander..but...Please DICE, leave the planes and the commander seat in the game, those are the elements that make Battlefield the awesome game that we love,

Don´t castrate the game in the name of the infamous "less is better" principle of console design, give us HUGE maps with at least 64 players, commanders, planes, vehicles, ability to go prone, LAN servers, (and PLEASE, give me a portable AA gun okibbthx)

Also...Skill in the FPS genre is not only found in games with railguns and rocket jumping, try for once to kill a moving chopper pilot with an sniper rifle, or to repel a long attack of numerous enemy players (infantry and vehicles) with an squad of only 4 fellas, resolution, skill, and more important... Team play.
