Is Euroforce a complete failure?

[subzero nautica]

I think a lot of people learned their lessons with Special Forces. We got the game and had lots of problems. They release a patch and we got more problems. They release a new patch and even more problems.

I think between the long delays for releasing EF and the lack of support of Special Forces, that most people just arent willing to upgrade to EF now.

Almost all the posts on Euroforce have been negative.

What do you think?

Re: Is Euroforce a complete failure?

no it will be more successful than special forces - and most people who dont just play karkand like the maps

Re: Is Euroforce a complete failure?

although great wall can be quite intense close quarters infantry combat on a high player count server

It measn nothing. There have been about 15 different posters who can't play EF for one reason or another yet thre are 1600 playing online at the moment.

Considering that the game doesn't officially come out tomorrow (support/ official servers/message box in BF2) I'd say that it's looking pretty good so far.

Seems to be a total flop to me.

Been running Euro Force on our server for 2 hours now and still can't get enough players to make it go live. People leave after 15 minutes.
Had we been running regular BF2 maps we'd be hopping right now.

I'll give it one more hour, if it don't pick up, the EF maps are coming off.

I hope you realize that EF just came out today, I hope you also realize that many still don't have it. You shouldn't expect people to instantly have it and fill up your server. You should wait atleast a week to get decent numbers on your server.

Re: Is Euroforce a complete failure?

We still have the regular maps availble. I'm admining it live so any requests can be done. Right now people just want to try the EF maps, after a couple days we can mix it up.

Problem right now is trying to get it going live. Came close a couple times but players leave due to boredom. It's one of few north American servers right now, I figured it would fill up right away, judging by the number of posters here now.

Right now we only need 4 more players, anyone interested.

On the positive note, most people who can buy euroforce (ie. credit card) are working right now. So you wont see a lot of people buying Euroforce until after 6pm, like with the patches.

On a negative note, i have been seeing a lot of negative feedback on the other BF2 forums. Some coming from UK people who have been playing euroforce:

1. People feel let down by EA for not fixing all the bugs from 1.2 patch. (personally i only saw some minor tweaking needed)
2. People are more angry at EA for all the new bugs (especially lag) from the 1.21 patch. (personally, this has been a major issue on SF)
3. People waited all this time for Euroforce that they lost interest. (reminds me of that war of the worlds hype with spielberg)
4. People are afraid that euroforce will just add to the bugs they are experiencing from 1.2 and 1.21 patch. (i think lag from 1.21 is my only show stopper)
5. A good number of BF2 players dont have credit cards and the product isnt in USA stores yet. (as with special forces, we saw a huge rise of players after the 2nd month when SF hit store shelves)
6. A number of euroforce players have voiced disappointment with there being only a few maps and only european forces got new toys. (this is still an issue with SF, most people want to play SAS, Euroforce will probably be the same)
7. A lot of people are sitting back, waiting to see what problems occur with users before they download the game.

I havent played Euroforce enough to say if i love it or hate it. So far, it has been less then i had expected.

Special Forces was a step up from BF2. Euroforce seems to just add new weapons and maps. No real step up in products.

What i mean is, no new toys to master. Its just a different looking gun or map or uniform.

At least special forces added AA Vehicles, Ziplines, Teargas, Flashbangs, Grappling hooks, Night Vision etc. But, euroforce didnt add anything new to the game. Just changed the look and sound of existing features.

For all kids who don't have credit cards. ASK your perents. I know some might say: What are crazy, no I am not. Look the way I figure you found the way to puchase BF2 some how. In some cases you had to spend from 50 to 60 dollars for a game. So you found the way to save some coint to do that. Ask you perents to pay for the game and give them 10 buck, or what ever the cost is. Problem solved.
