Think you're remembering wrong. More likely it's the 64 player servers compared to game size in BF2 (unless of course you were playing on modded 64 player servers). There's also the fact in BF2 AT was 1/8 classes instead of 1/4.
Never had an issue in BF2. Of course, its also probably because the maps were so much bigger that you rarely get the "you're swarmed by a million enemies" situation.

Also the AT4 means that you don't get the issues you see in BF3. You can take out a tank at range assuming you have skill, and not expose yourself to danger. BF2 had maps that dwarf anything BF3 has and tons more tanks, and Engineers were never an issue because each class was so well balanced.
The more I read this discussion and think about the game, the more I think they ought to simply do away with classes, period in the next iteration. Or, keep the specific class roles (medics can heal/revive, support can resupply, engies can repair, recon can... recon?), and let more or less every other piece of kit be completely open. Let people select whatever combination of weapons they want, and maybe impose some kind of weight limit or penalty for trying to carry too big of a loadout. Want a M249, Jav, and mines? Fine, but you're slowed to a crawl. This way instead of selecting a perk, your loadout can dictate your bonuses or penalties. Instead of a Sprint perk, choose a loadout that allows you to be more mobile.
I thought a headshot was a headshot in BF3? I have been getting lots of hit indicators with only the head visible and my sights right on but no death? Mainly pistols and assault rifles.

Since everyone's been saying the M1014 is overpowered since the patch (and dissing on my fav engie class), I of course took it upon myself to test it out today running recon.
Results? 49 kills in just over an hour.
Thanks, peeps!
While I still disagree with everyone about the tank changes being for the worse, I definitely agree with the concept of limiting engineers somehow. Personally, I would prefer making the PDW weapon class the engineer's class, while merging the current engineer weapons into the other classes.
thats like 8 rounds for you usually!!!
I know you just express your admiration for me this way because you can't believe I beat you in the standings in half the games we play.
By the way, SLU, Canbacon, and I could have used you on our team last night...
Here's my list for weapons recommendations post patch:
Assault: L85+heavy barrel. Super accurate and controllable under full auto fire. Also has the fast ADS movement speed which is a huge huge tactical advantage.
Eng: QZB-95B+heavy barrel+laser. This gun was horrible pre-patch but now it ROCKS. Basically the engy equivalent of the L85 but instead of foregrip it gets to use HB AND laser. They upped its reload time and it also has the fast ADS movement speed. Loving this thing so far.
Some folks in our clan, ( RAW ), have said use the 2 'suppression' perks with most weapons, and don't use 'foregrip'... What do you folks think?
Yeah the best squad perks to use are cover, suppression, flak, and sprint (or ammo if no one is support) in that order. Without cover and suppression you are at a serious disadvantage.
As for the foregrip, I see no use for it at all. It barely effects horizontal recoil while giving you a substantial accuracy penalty. Basically the foregrip now like the flash suppressor pre-patch.
Wait, the fore grip makes the gun LESS ACCURATE?! WTF
20% accuracy penalty. Good change.
Are you being sarcastic? Its a shame I have to ask but with you I just cant tell.20% accuracy penalty. Good change.

The forgrip reduces recoil but also reduces accuracy. The the gun becomes easier to control, but the bullets magically don't go where you aim.
It's kind of a crappy change, but it was done to make other attachments viable. Flash supressor and heavy barrel are the only attachments worth using on most guns now.
