Performance issues, yeah, but not enough to spoil the game. We're talking a few less frames per second, nothing horrendous. Just lower your settings a bit, and go on servers with 32 players and less. The sixty four player servers can kill performance on certain maps, like Warlord and Iron Gator for example.

Re: Is this popular?

I'm pretty much opposite spectrum as most posters in this thread. I tried SF and I do not like it at all. The maps are so scrunched together that you can't do any decent sniping. There is is also the problem of feeling there are no sides. I played alot of Rogue Spear over the years and enjoy the feeling of a start point and knowing basically where your friends are and where the enemies are. In SF the maps are so tight you don't really have that feeling of a front line. It's just a big whirling up close fight. I prefer a bit of distance and some seperation to allow for tactics other then a GL rush.

I enjoy the unlocks for the most part though and I'm glad you can use them in vanilla.

Agreed. BF2:SF just makes BF2 that much better. I seldomly play vanilla anymore since I installed SF. I tried playing vanilla the other day and just couldn't get over the fact that I couldn't use the grappling hook. :p

I've got ten bucks right here that says there will be another shiny add-on disc at $35 which fuses the BF2 and BF2:SF features together in ranked servers...

ATVs in Oman, grappling hooks and ziplines in FuShe and the whatsamacallit three seater -- Desert Raider? -- in Mashtuur. Mmm....

$10 - - I'll take that bet!
(Not on ranked servers that is!)

Re: Is this popular?

I would say if you enjoy more urban combat, IE Mashtur City, Strike At Karkland, then chances are good you will enjoy SF. Personally, I like it way better than Vanilla. It's the game I wish BF2 was.

SF is great for what it is, a chaotic infantry run and gun game, much better than BF2 in that aspect.

I agree, plenty of action, most maps aren't as big as vanilla and if you hate getting spammed constantly by jets then you will like it. Definitely is infantry focused.

Re: Is this popular?

Yeah, SF is very different. Instead of getting constantly killed by Jets you get constantly killed by Helis!

Re: Is this popular?

Re: Is this popular?

I don't play and I bought it, it's large increase in lag and a lack of support on communties. Even still the choppers make the maps unbalanced esp when playing a 64 player server. I found it too easy. Ever time I sneaked up on someone, i could kill them, there was that much action when I played but yet again that's my opinion. Also there is a lack of people and servers where I live and most of the players are Yanks from overseas. Imo, I'd rather play Wake Island anyday that play SF. It's got some cool features but I got bored of them pretty quickly. If you wan't to try it out, goto your local Net Cafe or soemthing and have a play.

Re: Is this popular?

What i mean is, is this xpack popular, unlike RtR and SW from 1942?

Warlord is

Re: Is this popular?

I bought it last week,weeks after the releasedate,i was to interested to let it stay in the shop :P
What i found out that the performance get's lower sometimes,and lot of lag with the big maps...It's like they used the very first code of BF2...
But i expected the gameplay to slow down,but instead it became harder and faster,probely cause the small *ss maps.Strange,i thought EA would consider this the fact they where making a 'Special Forces' add-on,with teams like the SAS and the Navy Seals that uses stealth...

Re: Is this popular?

SF is great, it has some excellent maps and no planes!!

I got SF the day it came out and have only played Vanilla BF2 once since.
