Re: Community Update - 5/01/06

Maps set in the US have been requested by the community for quite some time, and we are pleased to deliver three that set the stage for huge armored warfare battles.

I'm assuming when the community wanted Maps in the USA they were wanting urban ones around major city centres/landmarks, not through generic farmlands.

Am I right to think that the community would rather play around the Statue of Liberty (confined to the island), downtown LA, etc?

Is it that much harder coding urban maps or do DICE just like ****ing people off?

I doubt I will get it. Looks like it will be 'armor moves up road, aircraft bombs it' rinse and repeat.

that's lightning. BF2 engine is capable of handling weather effect like that.

I understood that the BF2 engine can handle it, but EA ACTUALLY implemented it!

P.S. - A-10's use turbines, therefore flames wouldn't be coming out for afterburners!

Infantry can rule any map in this game as long as you have good squads who play together as a team. Unfortunately many dont play as a team or in squads with communication so everyone starts complaining about armor whoring and jet whores when its really the gamers' faults.

There is so much complaining about aircraft and armor but any good squads can still cap flags and defend them well.

I cant tell you how much that pic of the A10 makes me cry in enjoyment!

1.3 and Armored fury any day now, cant wait

Looks like it will be nice...and although everyone will complain, i am sure a lot will purchase it anyway anything new is fun, even for another $10.

I'd like to see a city map like that myself, but I'm guessing a reason they didnt do this is because the invasion seems to have originated in the west and moved towards central USA

But we should still have gotten an LA or Seattle map

3 scout helis, and 3 bombers... man that's going to be brutal for the ground pounders.

To my knowledge the scouts dont even have offensive weaponry....someone correct me if i'm wrong

Take a look at the third pic, seems like a minigun under that chopper. Also guys still get to sit on the sides and drop c4.

Would be nice it the scout had a laser target designator for laser guided bombs or missles on the other aircraft.

As for the scouts loadout there has been no mention if it is armed or not.

Has anyone heard a release date for AF or the 1.3 patch?

You assume it's 10.00. I predict 29.95. A-10's don't grow on trees.:laugh:

Re: Community Update - 5/01/06

This pack is supposed to be all about tank/apc fights, yes? But DICE still haven't fixed the balance between air and armour, right? So there will be no point in using armour on these maps, and hence no point in getting the pack.

I confidently predict that these maps will turn out to be like every other map with aircraft: Great if you are flying, mediocre if you are on foot, pointless if you are driving.

If they want to "balance" the armour they should do it by adding more armour, so everyone can get some.

*Edit* Don't get me wrong, I love A-10s and I would like nothing more than to see a well balanced battlefield with massed armour and air power all blasting away, but after several tries DICE has failed to make that happen, and I see no sign of it happening with the next patch.
