    Thoughts on improvements (READ THIS EA!)

    Hello all, just thought i's voice my opinions on what improvements i would like seen in the game

    1)More official maps released with patches (or for free)!

    I can see why EA like to release these booster packs so that people have to pay for more maps, but a few more maps released with patches like Wake Island would be great. In the case of special forces it didn't really work that well as is evident by how few special forces servers there are.

    2)More support from EA for map packs (e.g the totalbf2 ones)

    Also if EA gave a bit more support to some of the maps which feature in the totalbf2 map packs that would be great. I've seen strike at karkand 2 in one of the packs, and it looks amazing but of course we never get to play it online really, which sucks. So if no one is really gonna play a map you make, there is very little incentive in making one anyway.

    3) A few more city maps :-o

    Yes i am one of those people who enjoys a good city map. There are lots of the larger maps in battlefield but so few of the smaller city maps that many people enjoy playing. Although i don't mind playin the larger maps, i find that the larger maps don't have the greatest balance between vehicles and infantry, on the larger maps you almost always have to be in a vehicle or some else that is in 1 is going to kill you.

    4) More gore

    I'm a big boy, blood doesn't scare me, in fact i like to see clouds of red spray when i shoot someone point blank with a shotgun F.E.A.R. style ( i also saw the untouchables the other night great film!) and apart the the satisfaction of seeing this it would also add a good element to the game, a blooded up soldier could be a good indication of how much damage he's suffered.

    5) More torque on the vehicles

    Yes i'm a car nut, and the way those jeeps slow down on a hill (fusche pass) is useless.

    Anyway that'll do me for now i hear my mg36 callin. look forward to readin your comments - VAUGHANE

    Wake 2007 is probobly the second most popular map next to karkand, mostly because its the first fresh air weve had in a while. Im looking forward to the boosters and I understand there is a need to subsidize post-release development, but we are ripe for some fresh content.

    Several folks have recommended some sort of vetting process by which top-rated amatuer maps could become official. This is a fantastic idea as it takes all of the developement costs and workload off of EA's shoulders, and provides us, the community, with a sense of ownership and participation in the development of our favorite passtime.

    Operation Flashpoint is a great example of what happens when a community really steps up and takes part in development. The CTI (capture the isaland) mode proved so popular and well made that Bohemia interactive is including it in the upcoming remake, Armed Assault, as a primary selling feature.

    Hell, the most popular game mode for OFP was called Battlefield 1985, and applied the BF capture point gameplay to the OFP engine. Thats how hardcore your player base is! They modify completely unrelated games to behave like Battlefield!!

      I'd like to see:

      - Having the server browser filters work, instead of getting zero returns off of any ping/player filter and having the checkbox filters do random things.

      - Map downloads without having to exit the game.

        I vote for this also, I prefer city maps like Sharqi and Karkand etc, some rural maps are good as well like Fu She Pass and Wake Island, more maps should be made and added on to their next patch etc.

        2)More support from EA for map packs (e.g the totalbf2 ones)

        Also if EA gave a bit more support to some of the maps which feature in the totalbf2 map packs that would be great.

So if no one is really gonna play a map you make, there is very little incentive in making one anyway.

        Never actually played any maps made by people, but yeah they deserve more credibility.

        3) A few more city maps :-o

        Yes i am one of those people who enjoys a good city map. There are lots of the larger maps in battlefield but so few of the smaller city maps that many people enjoy playing.

        Agreed.

        4) More gore

        I'm a big boy, blood doesn't scare me, in fact i like to see clouds of red spray when i shoot someone point blank with a shotgun F.E.A.R. style ( i also saw the untouchables the other night great film!) and apart the the satisfaction of seeing this it would also add a good element to the game, a blooded up soldier could be a good indication of how much damage he's suffered.

        Okay I'd be all for that, but the problem is EA never seem to put gore into their games, im sure its because of the age laws, if it had blood like CSS, and CSS is rated 16+ so is BF2, so I don't see why not.

        5) More torque on the vehicles

        Yes i'm a car nut, and the way those jeeps slow down on a hill (fusche pass) is useless.

        Haha yeah, that would be good, they should have say in Sharqi because its a small town some muscle cars around, V12 engines.

          -trip wires might be cool

          -anti-air machine guns (the real big ones)

            They are never going to put in more (any) gore. That would change the game rating.

            Look at how much flame GTA got for the hot coffee mod, that changed the rating too (although in a much different way).

            -trip wires might be cool

            -anti-air machine guns (the real big ones)
            They already have both of these. Claymores and Tungustas/Linebackers and the chinese AA version too it starts with a P.

                  how about a new class of infantry

                  an Anti-Air infantry with a different kind of rocket launcher that is heat seeking, but less powerful

                    Why? Why not give the AT kit an unlock for a multi-purpose rocket launcher?

                        YES!!! Finally a thread not about blasting 1.2, and listing real improvements instead of just complaining.

                        Great ideas though, I definitely agree with the cars not having enough torque.

                          Pretty sure he is refering to a trip wire... wired to a demo/mine of some sort.

                          While intersting and wouldnt mind seeing it.... I see it resorting to nothing more than a TK/Punish fest as the claymores & mines were/are.

                            -flare guns for night maps (kinda like flashbangs-but ya shoot em)

                            -real motercycles

                            -spike strips to stop hum V's and trucks

                            -leprechauns

                            -shooting around corners without exposing your body

                              Spike strips wouldnt have an effect on HMMWV. Equiped with run flats... (Ok that ends my adding any realism to a game).

                              And while I know it is not feaseable... or probly wanted by anyone else. if the eng could lay down concertina wire... could almost shape the battlefield (engagement area) to better defend/channel an ambush. But i also see HUGE abuse of this happening if it were to be done.

                              in response to 1st post:

                              #1: Love the Idea
                              #2: eh... dont have anything to say
                              #3: like the idea
                              #4: no real opinion... not squimish, but blood & gore never really held much fascination for me... (Just my opinion... not mocking yours)
                              #5: Agreed

                              Also wouldnt mind seeing an AA unlock for the AT kkit, but personaly think that aa missiles need to be re-worked a bit first.
