      what about a BF game set in the sengoku period, or warring states period in japan.

      Samurai's vs. invading Koreans
      Koryo Hwarang soldiers vs. japanese Kyudoka

      Turtle ship battles!!

      seriously it would be AWSOME, there was a sengoku mod for BF42 but was never finished so never got to shine-

        That would be boring. To balence out the bows with the swords, the bows have to have real long reload times (like in real life) and this would make the combat too slow. Besides, you've seen a knife duel in BF2, it realy is unrealistic.

        But still, instead of BF2142 Titan Mode, we could have a Seige Mode, which is essentially the same thing except with castles. There could be capping Trebuchets and seige weapons, and once captured the Commander could move them around!

          You might be right. It does sound interesting, but would that mod be able to appeal to a large enough market within the BF2 fanbase without any crossover with European factions? Just a thought.

          Also, it seems to me that the two quotes you have in your sig contradict each other. Was this your point or am I missing something?

          I don't know where you are getting your information on archers, but you are way wrong. A trained archer could have three arrows in flight before the first one hit his target. The longbow was the single most devastating weapon on the battlefield during this period. The next would have to be cavalry, then pikemen and last but not least, the swordsman. You really should tune into the History Channel more often when they review ancient arms and armor. It will surprise you!

            Hand-to-hand combat in an online game is quite disasterous... just look at how knife fights generally go on BF2.

            15 slashes and people flopping around like fish hoping for a lucky stab.

            I think it should be all about the BLUNDERBUS baby.

                Thats true, but I was just throwing out ideas, and the Sengoku period has always appealed to me, and its been proven to be very very fun in BF42, I suggest all try it out(albeit your gonna have to play in signleplayer as there are no servers up, but still you going up by yourself against 200-300 bots can be quite fun )

                Also, it seems to me that the two quotes you have in your sig contradict each other. Was this your point or am I missing something?
                True, in a way they do cantradict each other, maybe that was what attracted me to these two particular quotes, or maybe I just like how they sound...

                all up to personal opinion I guess....
