There are two types of Battlefield fans. Those who worship at the altar of Bad Company 2 , and those with a scarred thumb from mashing ‘E’ to get into a Huey before it got C4’d by a tunnel rat.

The mod also fixes the netcode as much as humanly possible. Hit registration in 2004 was a suggestion. In Redux , if you lead your target by two inches at 50 meters, you get the kill. Absolutely.
