EA says' NO to New EF Kits on Vanilla Maps

Re: EA says' NO to New EF Kits on Vanilla Maps

Based on this I may think twice before buying another booster pack.

stop whining already and use your head.

if people had 3 sets of unlocks, there would be at least one cheap gun for all the classes, like the DAO 12 for anti tank, PKM for support, FAMAS would be medic, etc etc.

they want the atmosphere to have guns to go with it. if im playing russians versus chechyans, i want AK-47s, not some losers running around with G36s and other western modern weapons.

i know this guy who runs around with a G36 of any type, even when hes on spetsnaz, and its incredibly stupid.

they should have theatre specific unlocks, so if youre russian, mec or chinese you get PKM, if youre USMC you get M60.

that way it would be somewhat realistic and not have everyone using the same damn guns in every map on each side.

Re: EA says' NO to New EF Kits on Vanilla Maps

Honestly, I don't think that many people care about staying true to the factions as long as "Western" weapons are used by USMC/EU and "Eastern" weapons are used by PLA/MEC.

It wouldn't bother me one but to see a USMC using a FAMAS, or an EU guy using an M4. It's just not that important to the game, and most of us would be happier if we could use our favorite weapons more often.

That's a good point. Still, don't see EA implementing it

I agree with the spirit of that, but I feel the "RPG" aspect that EA has implemented would not allow for a more realistic balance.

EA has basically taken the standard FPS and added role playing/individualistic aspects to the experience... with Unlocks, and global ranks. Also they have adopted a sudo regular fee by releasing $10 boosters every few months.

All in all EA wants players to have more control over their personal experience and wants to marke this as a light weight MMO game with lots of freedom and an online distribution system for updates that puts money back into EA's hands.

Re: EA says' NO to New EF Kits on Vanilla Maps

No offence or anything, but if you actually thought you could use the EF guns (not P90 and L96A1) in bf2 you are pretty dumb.

But I get the point, Its VERY pointless making all these really cool guns and then only allowing them to be used on 3 maps out of 24. (I think)

Its so stupid, the HK21 has such potential and could be an easy favorite for city maps, its a shame the guns are pretty much wasted as the maps are pretty much armor only.


Too bad they dont make a new patch where we can unlock all weapons, so you could choose two or so favorites out of a bunch for each kit in BFHQ, and you could use Army defaults on any army or map you wanted, or exclusive weapons such as G36K and SCAR-H as the certain kit on any map any army you wanted. RPG-7 too. There is a HUGE ammount of weapons in the game, it doesnt make sense that you are restricted from using certain ones in certain places.


Edit: As said above, thats the last thing I want. Yeah it aint realistic having insurgents and people with high tech weapons, But quite frankly I dont give a ****, they have the defaults for low ranking players, and I would kill myself If I couldnt use a favorite of mine anywhere I wanted. I want to be as unique as I can and If I could choose out of any weapon in the game I think things would be fresher. Yeah not realistic USMC with an AK but you could unlock the chance to use all weapons. And as that high rank you could probably get your hands on anything and use it if you are going to kill with it.

I just hate people all using the same weapons.

there already was a thread (or 2) about this

Re: EA says' NO to New EF Kits on Vanilla Maps

Asking for EU weapons as unlocks would be like asking for the M24 to be an unlock so you can use it as MEC / PLA. .

Thats a crap excuse.

Ever since BF2 came out we've had MEC and PLA armed with German G36C's, American Barrett M95's, Marines with Soviet PKM's, British L85A1's, SOUTH AFRICAN DAO-12's, prototype only Jackhammers.


That argument is garbage. You can use the L96A1 as a MEC, which is the British army's version of the M24. So i don't see a problem with using the EF weapons in BF2 Vanilla.

All of those weapons are unlocks, not stock weapons for any team. I don't care if the MEC can use an L96A1, as its an unlock. But each team should have weapons unique to them, otherwise, whats the point of having different factions in the first place? USMC using an AK101, that would be silly, not because they are US using Russian weapons, but because they AK101 is what makes the MEC assault unique.

No different than the SF unlocks are stock weapons in SF.

Re: EA says' NO to New EF Kits on Vanilla Maps

I really wish I can use AK47 when I am on US or MEC.

Thug life.

You can. Pick the kit up off the ground. :)

Re: EA says' NO to New EF Kits on Vanilla Maps

You lot make me laugh you call EA reaterded (and your right) but so are you lot you went out and paid $10 for 3 maps now that is stupid if it has 6-10 maps would have been better and they told you that EF weapons would not work with normal BF2 maps

If you was stupid enough to buy EF in the first place then stop bitching it is your own damn fault:laugh:

Re: EA says' NO to New EF Kits on Vanilla Maps

yeah its just like i said, they need to have theatre specific unlocks.

china, mec, chechynans, rebels get PKM.

USMC, eurotrash, sas get M60.

that is really what it should be.

but it wont change.

and the game is just fine without EF weapons.

if vanilla had EF weapons, it would become like SF, in that everybody just plays vanilla with the new, cheaper weapons and nobody plays the expansion pack that they are from.

oh yeah menace uk, are you actually from the uk? if you are, you're a complete idiot.

your grammar is what somebody from botswana should sound like, not from britain.

and it goes on par with the complete lack of intelligence demonstrated in your post.

why the hell are you on a EF forum if you just want to insult people with EF and dont have it yourselves?

its a good thing losers like you stay out of EF and make it better for those of us who enjoy it.

and number of maps means nothing moron, look at vanilla, nobody plays the 12 maps, they just play karkand and mashtuur.

LMAO grammer dont mean **** and yes i am from the UK

I have played EF and it is pure **** it was meant to be infantry based and it is not maps are way to big plus normal BF2 maps are better and no people dont only play mashtur and karkand.

The booster pack was a waste of money and you all know it but you wont say that cause you were stupid enough to buy it:laugh:

Re: EA says' NO to New EF Kits on Vanilla Maps

ea's biggest problem is having the maps not be able to be changed so mec and china go at it, or russia and america!~that is were all the problems begin, and i hope a mod comes out soon to fix that!
