Discussion: BF2 second expansion?

[Sgt Sly]

Well, since Special Forces is just one week away and DICE doesn't usualy bother about supporting expansion packs... :laugh: it's time to start working on the next one!

I figured why not do a post on what you believe should be the theme of the next expansion.

I figured it should be the opposite of SF, large scale vehicule/air maps.

The new vehicules should be large transports, Chinook, Hovercraft, etc.

Maps where vehicule transportation will be the difference between a lost or a victory.

Imagine filling a few hovercrafts with tanks and making your way to an island!
This would need good air support to make sure it doesn't get sunk.

Stingers would be a must and other sort of anti-air.
I don't know how it could work but I would love to see submarines!
Sinking one by droping missiles with a chooper would be nice.

BF2 strenghts is on land... what can they do to make the skies and water more interesting?

Or would you rather see, linear mission focused maps like Wolfenstein Enemy Territory?

Any ideals?
------------

Oh and if your only input is, no expansion until they fix the current game...
your comment is already noted and therefore useless.

A southeast asia mod like BF:V with huge forests and jungles. Hell, just redo BF:V's levels and call it an expansion and I'll be happy!

Actually, I wouldn't be surprised if by mid-December we're already having previews of a 2nd expansion shoved down our throats via that EA News thing. Not to mention, I also expect a mod tools patch after the release of Special Forces, since then EA will have your money so they don't have to worry as much about mods. So yeah, within a couple of weeks, I won't be surprised at all if a 2nd expansion and patch to mod tools are released. As far as the content of said expansion, it's hard to say what it'll be, but I doubt it'll be that great or original.

Re: BF2 second expansion!

GAH. I hate it when people make these posts. I see "Second Expansion!" or "SF Screenshots!" and I expect actual information about the subject.

Try making the subject something like "What do you think the second expansion should be" or just "Second Expansion?". Punctuation is your friend. Get to know it.

Outer space baby, BF2:SDI (Space Defence Initiative)

Of course we’ll leave the MEC forces out of this one, it’s all about fighting insurmountable odds against the zerg rush!

The greys are here for more than just some cow DNA, they want to take over the world! I can’t wait to unlock the Particle Ionizer assault weapon with the m203 under hand 40mm EMP grenade launcher.

BF2: SMG Assault

This time, DICE explores the dangerous and exciting world of submachine guns in BF2.

Flaccid power. Horrible accuracy. Bad sounds. Unintimidating presence.

Emerging from the trenches and alleyways of BF2, submachine guns come to the forefront of the battlefield experience in this compelling expansion!

Features:

- All kits have regular equipment removed and replaced with the Type 85, MP5, or PP-19. Tanks, jets, helicopters, and jeeps have regular armaments removed and replaced with linked submachine guns.

- Two new map modes: "King of the Submachine Gun" and "Capture the Submachine Gun"

- Four new unlockable submachine guns!

- New badges for excellence with the submachine gun!

- New equipment, including submachine gun cleaning kit, submachine gun stickers, submachine gun duffle bag, and new submachine gun keychains!

- Box includes two stainless steel forks, so players can jab themselves in the eyes to escape the pain of using the submachine guns!

- Coming May 2006

Re: BF2 second expansion!

Some of you guys are just too damned jaded.
:p

I'd like to see a Navel Conflict expansion.
Movable large ships. Destroyers, figgets, corvettes, supply ships, and ofcource main battleships to add to the carriers.
New game type: Fleet battle.
Objective; Destroy the other side's fleet while protecting your own.
New vehicles: ECM aircraft, torpeedo armed choppers, assualt boats.
New commander asset: AWACs

Now that would get me to lay out some extra bucks!

Re: BF2 second expansion!

Yeah! A Naval battle with battleships, destroyers, and submarines would be a blast!!

No fun if no one reads it!

Any body who's played Joint Ops Escalation? I want that kind of feel to the expantion.

Re: BF2 second expansion!

Make some good use of the "Say" button instead of just "OMG U SUCK".

Bureaucracy 2: Political Assault

All weapons are replaced by Forms, Gold pens, cell phones and #2 Pencils. Politicians must run to and fro to appeal to special interest groups, doing combat with enemy diplomats by getting their writing staff to make really long filibusters, putting the mass media in their pocket, and ordering twenty pizzas to be sent to the other side to slow them down. The politicians must argue over trivial things while fighting for a key issue, rallying together for future personal gain by depleting vote tickets of the oppsoition and conquering the court for the day.

The winner gets the public to be sympathetic to their cause, earning them points, rank and a greater possibility of becoming President in the next term!

Actually it would be nice for them to finish the original game first..ya know.
