A developer chat just finished in IRC on the Quakenet network in oddly enough, channel #battlefield2. Lots and lots of questions were answered by James Salt, Associate Producer/Designer on BF2, including some real gems. Being the nice guy that I am, I logged it and have cleaned it up then posted it on our forum.

valued-tom asked: Is it true there is a trajectory decay on bullets, and is there a maximum range the bullets can travel from the sniper rifle?

[DICE]Sanosuke answers: Yes. Bullets do not just fly in a straight line in BF2.

There's loads more good questions, as well as the odd daft one. It's worth a quick scan at least.
