Battlefield 2

A bro gifted me Battlefield 2 because he felt sorry that my shit computer can't run bf2 and I can't seem to kill anything. I nail a guy 5 times in the chest (with a little X to confirm each hit) and he just keeps running, meanwhile I seem to die in 2-3 shots. Also what is with the snipers? I can't tell if it has bullet drop/travel time or not because it seems to be random.

Am I just super bad or am I missing something? So far I've had fun just running around as a medic and reviving everyone

There is indeed bulllet drop and travel time to answer one question. BF2 has some bugs to it but over all distance is key with any weapon. ALso the caliber of the bullet is key for stopping power, bigger cali, more power and damage. The game does take some getting used to but definately stick with it. If you hhave a 360 or ps3 try it on that, but overall its a great game. Hopes this helps.
