Re: Battlefield 2 Content Update

Anyone else notice in the installer that it said Battlefield 2 - Map Pack 1?

Maybe more to come

Tell EA it needs choppers, and bombers, and the sand storm make it hard to see, which is good.

Just had some good dogfights, its so hard to see and easy to get away. I like it!

One more Transport chopper per side would be nice, Still think this would be a perfect map for the Little Bird and the A10.

Re: Battlefield 2 Content Update

I am glad to see a map. Really I am! But I feel so negative about it for some reason. Like it is still a carrot on a stick. I already have Quake Wars Pre-Ordered which might have something to do with it. But the flip side to all this, is why did the team spend all that time cleaning up one new map, when they could have spent that time tightening up several community maps? After talking with one of the DiCE map designers, I learned it takes months to prepare a map for release. If that is the case, why did you guys take months to release this thing, instead of taking favorate community maps and spent that time just rerendering them for optimal performance? They are all ready made so that takes a couple weeks out the design process.

Thanks, I am happy something is coming, but honestly, I dont feel like pulling punches on this one. I can't understand why EA is so shortsighted on this one. If they want a return, offering a whole bunch of ready-made maps to the community in a ranked format will generate some more revenue that can be poured into another patch. BTW, where is all that advertising revenue for 2142 going anyways?

How hard is it to certify 5 community made maps for ranked play anyways?

It's awesome PR for them (as well as EA/Dice). Intel dangles some money in Dice's face to get them to make a map...Intel gets to say "We sponsored it!" along with some nice ad space, Dice gets to go "Seee, we still make stuff for you guys! We love you! Keep renting ranked servers plzz!"

But hey, if this is what it takes to get free maps, I'm alright with it. But yeah, community-made maps would be even cooler and probably even more profitable for them because a whole pack of excellent stuff would jumpstart the BF2 community :)

Re: Battlefield 2 Content Update

i haven't seen anyone else ask for attack choppers. i think they are trying to avoid this map just becoming a tv guide rape fest with attack choppers hovering on the fringes blowing everything away. if lex luther said there will be no attack choppers, there will be no attack choppers.

Well I say this Lex Luther needs to wake up and smell the map size in relation to whats being used! But I've only seen servers for 32players..so I'm hoping that 64player map size will get adjusted with more vehicles FOR EVERYONE to get to use so you don't have this massive tailgate party for a single Mig.

**** the map, I want the patch.

I hope you only want a patch to fix a few glitches and otherwise minor problems.. cause as long as they don't touch the gameplay then yeah a patch would be nice...but they must not fool with how the guns fire or weapons fire!!! Best to just fix load times for clients,server info, favorite refresh issues and in game glitches.

ohh and hell why not give us back the ability to jump and shot or chew gum and walk at the same time. :shakehead:

Re: Battlefield 2 Content Update

Update: Just played a couple rounds, meh.

Like it's not bad, but it could use a little less fog and the ceiling needs to be adjusted.

I'll not complain and I'll be playing it when it's released, but I just find it a little bland. The hills/dunes add a nice desert touch to help with conceiling, escaping, repairing, etc.

Fix the server information not displaying properly...hear me DICE? I'll keep posting that same message randomly until it's fixed. :)

PEACE

You don't read do you?

Oh and to those who are complaining about the Intel logos on the boxes, if you read the map description, the US are trying to get "new Intel technology" through and MEC is stopping them. Some nice marketing if you ask me! Good thing a new tank map came out when i need armor hours for 1 star

Oh and I REALLY hope they increase the flag capture rate. It is way too short. The vehicle spawns too.

Re: Battlefield 2 Content Update

I think they should increase the number of caps
but overall it's a really good map
