My 2 beefs with BFBC2....heading into BF3

Just started playing this on PC, and I'm having a blast, but I'm a little frustrated at how long it takes to level. Well, maybe it's not that as much as it's just frustrating being a level 2 with nothing really to speak of as far as guns and attachments and having to hold your own against level 35's and 50's who can drop you from across the map with an SMG. I guess it's something I have to deal with getting into the game so late, and plus going from a console shooter to PC, but talk about a steep learning curve. I totally get rewarding a player for putting in the effort it takes to get to 50, but I think maybe something could have been done to help the lower level players not be at such a disadvantage.

My other is with squad deathmatch. I really love this game mode, especially if you aren't into running across a continent to get to the action. Smaller scale, and you are fighting against 3 other squads. Very similar to multi-team on Halo. The only thing that drives me nuts is the spawns. I'll usually spawn on my squad, but I learned to be careful with that, especially if they are in a gun fight cuz you will a lot of time get dropped right away. But I swear, about 50% of the time when I just spawn randomly, I'm already in the sights of another player. And I get dropped right away then as well. About as bad or worse than Halo CE was. I guess this is just the hazard of having 3 different teams coming at you (odds are you will spawn in front of someone), but it doesn't make it any less frustrating.

Regardless, this is just a fun and addicting game and I'm so ready to see what BF3 will look and play like. Since I'm so late to the game, I'm not sure if these issues I have are really "issues" and just something I'll have to adjust to.
