Hey DICE, Euro Forces blows. Want to know why?

Re: Hey DICE, Euro Forces blows. Want to know why?

My complaint is that there was promise of new unlockable weapons, but those weapons turned out to only be playable using the EU team, not unlockable. There are 3 new maps, but those 3 new maps were not worthy of my $10. While I AM more of an infantry based player, I don't have the problem with it being so armor heavy, as I was warned before hand on that. However, I wouldn't have killed them to have made one of the maps with an area of the map where infantry battle is so crucial.

So many people forget that this is a First Person SHOOTER, not a First Person DRIVER or Flight Sim, as I've heard some say. But the great part of Battlefield is that it adds all of those elements together for an excellent game for everyone to enjoy. EF didn't deliver in that aspect.

And now that I DO own it, it's rare to find a non Euro server to play the maps that are populated. Playing with 200 ping is not an enjoyable experience. But on the upside, when you do find a server that plays both vanilla BF2 maps as well as EF maps [populated, with excellent ping], it's a good feeling.

I hope y'all aren't trying to speak for me. I have no real problems with EF for the $10 I paid. I haven't learned all the maps tactically yet like I have the vanilla maps I've played for 6 months, but it will come. Playing EF maps I haven't noticed any problems with the kits I typically play (AT, Assault, Sniper). I guess I can see where Medic may be less useful on these maps though, but I don't use that kit much. Learn to adapt your tactics. Don't stand in the middle of a field shooting bullets at a tank. I only wish taking out higher value targets like tanks and attack copters earned me extra points.

Re: Hey DICE, Euro Forces blows. Want to know why?

Yes, I agree with the OP too. EF was a nice experience for all of 10 games or so, but now I'm back playing the best of the vanilla maps. AF will be a definite no go for me.

Re: Hey DICE, Euro Forces blows. Want to know why?

Re: Hey DICE, Euro Forces blows. Want to know why?

yea its not what i was expecting. 2maps=tank and air domination and everyone else is screwed for a boring round. i think i was only able to actually use my gun to kill someone once in 6 games cause i was being attacked by tanks and bombs falling on my head for the entire rest of the time

Re: Hey DICE, Euro Forces blows. Want to know why?

Well I disagree I love it, I think tq and oss are execellent as I like piloting and armor, not too pushed on gw but then again my most hated maps in the game are karkand and mashtuur. My only complaint is there isent enough maps I feel like ea ripped us off.

They are deeeelicious! That's what they are!

lol now

Rigid Inflatable Boat

lol now all we need are some spare RIBs on the maps

By the way, what is all this BS about a new gun taking up too much memory??? Being a computer programmer myself (yes, games too) I can hardly imagine a large memory overhead for a weapon.

Re: Hey DICE, Euro Forces blows. Want to know why?

You know.. Euro forces is OK. not great.. not good.. not horrible.. just OK.

I got sucked into BF2 and really enjoyed the stats and whatnot.. all the vehicles the kits.. I have loved BF2 since I started playing in november.. I enjoyed special forces and played that more than vanilla for a while.. (until I missed flying) Euro really didn't add that much more to the game for me.

then I found NAW (Nations at War (mod)) two days ago.

it is what BF2 SHOULD be.


screw stats.. once I hit the First Sgt. wall.. I lost my urge to strive toward the next rank like I did until now.

Re: Hey DICE, Euro Forces blows. Want to know why?

I dont have Euro Force, but I can say it already sucks since I cant even buy it without owning XP. How pathetic is that? I can buy and play BF2 on w2k but I cant buy and play Euro Force? Where in that does it make sence?

Re: Hey DICE, Euro Forces blows. Want to know why?

1) don't know how someone can complain about something they don't have or never tried.

2) I didn't buy EF because I was moderately disappointed with SF. So I figured I'd wait. (I'm so smart hahaha).

3) The warning signs were there from the beginning. They created a Mod/map editor, but didn't give the community the ability to download and play maps on the fly like they did in RED ALERT 2.

If not, then there is no reason why DICE/EA don't give us approved maps created by the community with each patch...example, patches or expansion packs should be bundled with 3-4 maps from EA with an additional 3-4 maps from the Community. This encourages map makers and proves who's smarter.

I DEMAND THEY OPEN SOURCE BF2. hehe.

I DEMAND THEY OPEN SOURCE BF2. hehe.

MAN!!!!! that is the best idea i've heard on this forum yet!! I SECOND THAT!!!!! hehe with the talent of a lot these coders/modders/skinners/mappers in the community, it would be easy to make bf2 stand out above all the rest.

i see they keep tweaking this site, the lines spaced between statements are being autodeleted. but hey, at least you can cut and paste within the text editor now. oh yeah, and i will be automerged... so nice of them to do that. =]

So what are you going to use your hard earned $10 for now?

Re: Hey DICE, Euro Forces blows. Want to know why?

they cant do open source cause if anything became more popular than thier ranked servers they wouldnt be making money of the ridiculous cost to rent one
