3D ironsights, rocket pod Blackhawks, grenade launcher sights you can look through, flying barrels, 8 man squads, laser designators, civilian cars with alarms, jets on Mashtuur!

Go to your BF2 install folder > Mods > BF2 and extract Menu_client.zip to somewhere else. Then Menu_client > External > Flashmenu > Clickdummy and open main.swf with a browser or something that can play flash files.



What the hell happened DICE? (ohno)

Yeah, there was a few other threads around like this on various forums finding quite a lot of content that was hidden away in the files. Although mainly the menu etc is simply reskinned, the red dot scope and death animations was pretty cool but overall, it looks better now than it did then imo.

If i remember correctly, you can still find those deserted air bases on mastuur if you go out of bounds far enough.

Re: BF2 prerelease stuff

I prefer the way it looks now. Only thing I might have back is Blackhawk rockets.

I wish they would have kept the voice that congratulated you when you got promoted in rank in game.

I assume they took it out as they had not done the other transport choppers with rocket pods or something.

I swear there was a thread a while ago showing there were plans to put in a hovercraft and some other interesting things.

yes they had. they just thought rocket pods would be too OP with the effective miniguns, but they nerfed miniguns so nothing is good in blackhawk now.

yes maps load in seconds in 1.0, the time has been like quadrupled with patches.

doesnt one of the Helicopter badges have a battlehawk instead of the standard model?

Re: BF2 prerelease stuff

I remember that promo vid.. looked 10 times better than what we ended up with in the final product IMO.

Re: BF2 prerelease stuff

I'm really confused as to why so many of these features were taken out - what would the downsides be of having laser targetting/the better scoping system/dynamic objects (the barrels moving freely and the container falling and rolling)/more civilian vehicles etc.

All we can hope for is the efforts of modders to try to recreate these things, like i mean they were obviously working fine ingame so I just wonder what the issues would have been that would have lead to their removal.

It seems after these early betas they really changed the lighting and rendering settings of all the maps and models making them a bit less gloomy.

There is one moving barrel accidentally left to the game. You can find it in Dragon Valley 64.
