Next Expansion:

Battlefield Karkand.

It costs $500 US, and it gives you a rotary automatic grenade launcher, and 300 percent extra health and ammo.

And a permamnent UAV for you only.

But only on karkand.

Re: Next Expansion Pack!!!

As HicRic said, a 'destroyable environment' isn't a mod you make to the engine, it's an entire new engine. DiCE played with this before and decided that it used up too much bandwidth for 64 player servers.

Thats not entirely true ... but it depends what you mean by destroyable.

If you want all the fences and wall etc to be "knock-down-able" you can do that in bf2. but the problem is that the positions of all the resulting movement have to be the same for everone who playing...which means huge network traffic.

Thats why BF2s ragdoll system is more advanced than other games...the ragdoll stuff is actually part of the shared game experience...not just an effect generated by you computer seperately to everyone else.

If the physics engine was taken to extremes, you could model all of the buildings from actual bricks, then the buildings could be blown appart.Thats actually quite simple, its just rigid body physics - far simpler than ragdoll, the problem is that it would use alot of p.power and take up toads of bandwidth.

Could it be this expansion pack. BF2SF Just got to the shelves. Not setting on their laurals. Wish they were this proactive with fixing BF2

Re: Next Expansion Pack!!!

EA lies and hangs carrots in front of us to run after.
That being said, BF2 is still a very good game.
It's not a perfect world and EA takes total advantage of that!

It's all bullsh1t. Cripes, are you all that gullible?

You should've been here earlier, before the game came out. People were so gullible it wasn't even funny..:|:

Re: Next Expansion Pack!!!

It just seems to early and highly unlikely at this moment in time oh well we will see...

Re: Next Expansion Pack!!!

Like I said I don’t know if all this information is 100% of what they plan on implementing into the next expansion and this was just a meeting conducted. As some have stated about the destroyable environment, I could be wrong but it sounded to me like it was not a total destroyable environment and more things like fences and some buildings and key locations could be destroyed. Also for the navy class I was told there will be 5 ships added all sinkable witch are a Cruiser, Destroyer, submarine, aircraft carrier and a patrol boats. I was told that these ships will be sinkable as well as repairable. Also I looked into it and almost every navy in the world has cruisers and destroyers. You are thinking of battle ships witch have been discontinued. Destroyers have almost no guns Except for 2 AA type you see in BF2 and one 120mm Gun mounted on the front of the ship. In real life they escort air craft carriers and defend fleets along with cruisers witch are not as heavily armored and do not have as many weapons. There capable of firing many missiles like tomahawks anti-Submarine and anti-ship and anti air as well as many other types. As for the credibly of the source we know there making another expansion its just a matter of what it will include and according to my source EA will officially announce there planes next Month.

Re: Next Expansion Pack!!!

Haha, it's fake. :) A destroyable environment is complex and probably just too bandwidth-heavy, not to mention a massive alteration to the BF2 engine.

Having said that, it does sound like a fun expansion (and truely an expansion rather than just an add-on ). So it would be nice if it was real, but put me down for the 'seriously doubting' camp.

Actually, it depends. IT would not be a bandwith problem since you could make it say:

Player 1's M1A1 damged building 1 at point 35x67x66*11.

Then everyones computer decides to and how render it.

Massive alteration? Believe it or not, its in it already.

Re: Next Expansion Pack!!!

No, its not. At best, a 2d texture temporarily appears.

To get an actual destructible wall in BF2...

The wall would have to be divided into a large grid (imagine a 5 x 5 grid of fences), so only different sections could blow up.

Also, in BF2, in one 64 player level, there are probably about 40 - 50 destructible objects (fences, explosive barrels, little roadblocks, anything that can be moved or altered) in that one level. If every building was destructible, you'd be looking at something like 40 - 50 destructible objects per kwik-e-mart sized building (if it had an interior) brining the total active physics objects into the thousands...

No way BF2 engine could handle it.

It's either a great exageration, as it was 2 years ago (infact, what they did is almost tottaly possible in 42), or its a new game.

My brain says EA = great exageration.

Re: Next Expansion Pack!!!

i aint giving up my hopes until there is enough evidence that there is a new expansion.
