SF adds to the game in the following ways: 8 new maps, 3 of which are at night which really do change the whole feel of the game. It adds new SF armies being The US seals, U.K. SAS, MEC SF, Russian Spetsnaz, Russian Rebels and Insurgents. It also adds some new weapons to replace some of the old ones depending on which army and kits you use including new unlocks as I have mentioned above. You also get gas masks and night vison goggles for the night maps. Depending on what kits you choose you also get some extra toys to play with like the tear gas, flashblasts, grapple hook and zip lines which can be fun to use. There are some new vehicles too. You also get extra badges, medals and ribbons to earn.
SF takes away the following: A slight drop in performance. Some people complain heavily about bugs that cause huge drops in frame rates during play. I have noticed only a slight drop in frame rate compared to Vanilla BF2 half of the time and I have only experienced large drops in frame rates on the busy games with 32 + players. I only recall this from the Iron Gator map though.
It makes more sense to me to only play smaller games on SF anyway since it's based on undercover/espionage war and not your bog standard full scale war like vanilla BF2.
SF cuts down on the amount of heavy vehicles there are too. Especially the Jets! If you are one of the people who hates the jets because you are getting spammed with bombs left, right and centre all the time then SF is for YOU! lol
Although I have heard there are jets in SF I think it may be false because I have wondered about on every large map looking for them and have not seen any "Flyable" Jets what so ever. On The Iron Gator map there are model Jets that are unplayable (tied to the deck) and you can't get in or out of them. In the Night flight map there is a cargo jet which is again unflyable. That is all I know in regards to jets.
If you like using camoflage to your advantage then playing the insurgents can be a disadvantage because they wear civilian clothes. Also the SAS wear black even in daylight which I think is also a bad idea.
Whether you actually play Special Forces is down to personal preference.
My opinion: I like it! I especially like the night maps as they give the game a whole new feeling (A shame there are only 3). One of my favourite games is 'Thief - Deadly shadows' so I like stealth and Espionage and sneaking around in the dark . If you like games like Splinter Cell and Thief and still like that BF2 feeling added to it then I'd say Special Forces is for you.
I think basically Ive covered it all. I hope this helps people with their decisions on whether or not to buy SF.
