My Euro Force predictions...

Re: My Euro Force predictions...

You mean so that the people who are too cheap to buy it (yet still whinge and bleat and moan and complain because people get SF weapons in regular bf2) can actually play it as well. :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:

1. The weapons aren't exactly that overpowering. It's just nice to have a wider seletion.

2. The extras that you get for SF like grappling hooks, zip lines, and flash bangs are what you pay $30 bucks for.

3. A lot of the SF map layouts need to be integrated with the BF2 maps. Infantry can actually hide in buildings... OMFG... weeee.


This isn't a case of the "haves" and "have nots".

I'm going to say sales will be slow at first, since it's going to be sold online only.

Actually I would think being sold online would make it sell faster.

I would think so too, but not everyone has (acress to) a credit card.

Re: My Euro Force predictions...

First off all, id like to point out that these 'booster packs' are total ********. This is the kind of stuff we should expect from a FREE patch, not 20 bucks worth slow downloads.

to the original posters points

1) Agree completely, i bet it won't be as good a map, but it will be more popular for a long time simply because its 'new'.

2)can't be 100% sure, but id say 99% sure somethign like that will happen. that or the original booster packs will be unplayable for at least half of the bf2 community. like sf.

3)u are probably right. people are willing to pay 10 bucks every month or so so they can get more digital points that don't really mean anything... whatever. i wouldn't have a problem with this, but it affects me. it means the things i would usually get in a free patch, i now need to pay money for.

well, im officially raising my middle finger up high towards EA and pledge my support for free mods.

But I'm pretty sure those that do are of the responsible age not to act like children in game. Blah...

Anyways I think EA has seen the light that STEAM turned on for Valve.

Re: My Euro Force predictions...

No offense, but your predictions are pretty ungrounded. #2 doesn't make any sense, #3 depends on #1, and #1 is rather vague. What's a "VERY karkand like map"? Also I couldn't see any map with "great wall" or "quarry" in the title having up close combat, so that leaves 1 map that possibly could be city oriented. But who knows? Why do your predictions carry any weight at all? Do you know something I don't?

No, it's a case of "why should people who don't want to buy it to begin with get to play it?" Riddle me that.

Re: My Euro Force predictions...

I really hope there would be Karkand style map in Euro pack because I prefer urban maps (Mashtuur is the favourite). I really think planes as they are now are destroying the game and I hate to run/drive for 10 minutes before I get into battle.

Re: My Euro Force predictions...

Are we also forgetting the overhead that EA has to deal with with maintaining that stats system?
I wouldn't be surprised at all if this is the main reason behind charging for the booster pack.

The stats system (a MAIN point behind anyone playing this game) is a HUGE undertaking and most likely a HUGE cost) and the sale of these booster packs may even go directly into that.

It will definately be nice to have a change of pace from the desert city maps :P

Re: My Euro Force predictions...

I am actually very happy that this can only be bought through EA downloader via a credit card.
While it's obvious that not ALL n00bs are stupid children, I think its fair to say that children are highly represented amongst the tards.
If this leads to a cut down in tards there is a definite silver lining to be had.
