BF2 Intel Release from EA.

:cry::cry::cry:

They're fixing the bug that allowed players in vehicles to contest a flag from outside the flag radius.

It was funny driving around the TV Station yet still being able to cap the flag on Sharqi Peninsula.

I expect they will be 3rd tier unlocks, exept for the P90 and AWP which will be tier two unlocks. Nothing official on that though.

I never knew of this, "bug that allowed players in vehicles to contest a flag from outside the flag radius." Glad it's squashed

Re: BF2 Intel Release from EA.

So it's gonna be annoying as hell if you don't buy the booster packs, once they're both released you'll have the following types of server to choose from:

BF2
BF2:SF
BF2:EF
BF2:AF
BF2/BF2:EF
BF2/BF2:AF
BF2:EF/BF2:AF
BF2/BF2:EF/BF2:AF

Hope there's some way in the browser to tell what's in rotation

Will servers with EF/AF maps only show up if you bought those booster packs?

Re: BF2 Intel Release from EA.

I'm happy to hear that the maps will be integrated. That just increased my likelihood of buying the boosters ten-fold.

Re: BF2 Intel Release from EA.

So I can use Euro Force weapons in all maps then?

No, no... Euro Force does not include any unlocks!

It will have the seven annonced weapons which will be the basics weapons of the Euro army.
You can over-ride those with you regular unlocks as usual.

Re: BF2 Intel Release from EA.

And it wont stop people from downloading them off P2P networks either... If its just single maps with no new master keys, then yeh... people will just be sending the maps to each other.

Because like PB does a content check now, there will more than likely be an update with a new MD5 check for PB and if you only have the booster maps, and not the other content than you'll get the boot.

You mean tier 4, since the Special FOrces was the 3rd level of unlocks. It sounds to me like we will have to start paying $10 for every 3 maps we want. This is ridiculous...I think the 2 new booster packs are going to end up like SF did. Instead of fixing the main issues, these booster packs act like smokescreens to hide the really bad problems...

Rank progression is no longer limited to the enlisted ranks. All officer ranks are now available.
Hell yah that is great!

Yeah, but even 2nd Lieutenant is WAY beyond the reach of even diehard players.

I mean, even the top couple of players in the world are behind (or so it would seem) the boundary for the next rank. So I can't honestly say it'll ever affect me.

I know what you mean, I don't think i'm going to be able to progress beyond my next rank. I've made it to Gunnery Sgt, but I don't have the basic pistol badge yet. I just seem to get pwned everytime i pull the pistol out

Unless the rank requirements get adjusted again, alot of people won't reach these new officer ranks.

Re: BF2 Intel Release from EA.

Yeah, for example, Blazin.uk has played over 1200 hours of BF2 on ranked servers to reach 280,000 points. That's 50 days of solid gameplay! I doubt I'll ever play that much before the next BF game is released, nor will most normal players. Being close to the next rank really gets me playing, but they're really beyond the scope of most players. It seems the 20,000 point mark will be the absolute maximum for me. I've relaxed my gameplay time quite a bit since I reached Gunnery Sergeant last week.

I mean, just how many points will we be looking at for the highest ranked General? In accordance with the increasing incremental rank requirements, it seems a bit unrealistic (150,000 more points after Sergeant Major to hit 2nd Lieutenant!) unless the requirements are slashed...

Re: BF2 Intel Release from EA.

I hope they relax the rank requirements or it will take me a year to get to 2nd Lieutenant.
