I apologize in advance if any of my comments or questions have already been discussed in previous thread, I look through a couple of pages but there are 51 pages in the catagory alone.
Here is the deal.
I'm a middle aged vet and my gaming experience is at the most recreational. I'm not a pro or a cyber genius so some of the things I say might sound crazy or out of date to folks out in the gaming world. I will be building a new house come next year. I want to build a video game room for my kids and myself (I have 8 kids, 7 boys one girl.) I wanted build something so that we could all play each other on a LAN Network. Here is a rough sketch of what I had in my mind.
I wanted a Military Simulation game, one that focuses on a tactical shooter, counter terrorism, or special warfare units. So I'm guessing I'll have to get Battlefield 2 with the Special Forces expansion Pack. I hoping for a game that would let me edit the levels or maps, edit the characters and their skins, and also control variables within the game i.e.; Artillery or Air Strikes, Enemy Movements, Lighting, and Enemy positions. Also I want to be able to free float around or "specter" so I can watch how my kids are playing, kinda like a referee.
The Game should let up to eight to thirty two players in from a LAN so we can get everyone in on a game and have them face against insurgents or terrorists, or split up into two teams and have them go head to head. It would be nice if the game would have high end graphics like Ghost Recon: Advanced Warfigther or Rainbow Six: Vegas, but it doesn't have to. It could be early Counter Strike if need be.
So here are my questions so that I can have an idea of what is realistic.
1) Will BF2 let me create a LAN Party that only my and kids and I can play on, but also have the option of playing online with other people.
2) What kind of setup will it take to have a LAN Party with 9 people?
3) How many people can play on BF2 at one time?
4) Can I edit levels, map, characters, and movements on BF2?
5) Are Bots on BF2?
6) Can me and my kids form a 9 person team and go against say 30 Bots on a LAN Party.
7) Can I specter around and "referee" my kids without them seeing me.
8) Can I call in Air strikes and Artillery strikes on command, without actually having to be in a Plane or a Tank and physically press the fire button?
9) What are the graphics like on BF2? 1-10, 1 being an early Counter Strike game and 10 being Rainbow Six: Vegas.
10) And finally, is BF2 like an MMO where I have to pay monthly for services or is it just pay for game, pay internet connection and have fun?
Okay, I think that is all the questions I have. I let you know if there is more. If can help with just one question or if you have a simple suggestion, that would be so much help to me. I'll appreciate anything. Also can you let me know if you can see my sketch link?
