Official: Battlefield 2

[MVS]

Too bad snipers can be beaten pretty easily. They'll learn that pretty fast - the m95 ain't going to solve all their problems. Oh and the G3 isn't useless. It kills very fast, almost too fast that it seems cheap. Ive been using that for 2 months now and its the weapon of choice for infantry fighting.

I finally fixed my game after messing with my router for the past 2 evenings. Gained 2 ranks in 2 seconds tonight

It is useless. Why trade 30x37 damage for a total of 1110 and the Grenade Launcher which kills in one shot (multiple enemies even) for something that does 20x40 and 800 damage total and hand grenades?

Any assault player that uses the G3 is stupid.

Last night was a first. In three successive maps I was the leading scorer (alot of bad players on the server), and the other teams kept initiating a kick on me (from multiple different people). Needed 16 votes .. only got 12. So lame.


Besides losing your Grenade Launcher (the ultimate BF2 weapon). You also get stuck with a short clip on the G3. So if you are trying to storm a flag. You spend half your time hiding while you are reloading. Pretty weak.

I got my veteran Assualt badge last night. I wonder what the time requirements are for the Expert badge. It's not too uncommon for me to rack up 30-45 kills on a good Sharqi round. 37 has been my highest since the patch, yet no expert badge.

Any assault player that uses the G3 is stupid.

Sometimes if I'm hanging back and covering at meduium range while my squad takes the flag i opt for a g3 in semi auto over the m16. In fact whenever I use my G3 i keep it in semi. its a good cover weapon but not meant for direct assault - strange they gave it to he most head-long class in the game.

Nope, nix that. Im always in a squad - usually with people I know, and 80% of the time we get number 1 squad. Maybe cause a couple of the games I played were on unranked servers. I donno.

Quit lying, teamkiller!!

To anyone that is actively playing EA's latest entry in the Battlefield series and is looking to become involved in ladder play, my current BF 2 clan is having some problems fielding a full roster for our 8v8 ladder matches, and I am currently on a mission to find some more committed BF 2 players. Please stop by the clan forums and introduce yourself if you are interested:

Damn, I just got hosed out of a bronze star. Scored 3rd highest on the level but didnt get a thing for it. No amused.

The first expansion for this comes out this Tuesday the 22nd for $30. It doesnt look like a huge leap as far as content goes but as long as I get some new BF maps im happy. It includes grappling hooks and zip lines and CounterStrike-like flashbangs and smoke grenades. I guess the focus is more on infantry combat with more interior combat compared with normal BF2. Also i think there are no jets in this version - I actually like this news because good pilots can ruin a server. Throw in some new armies and weapons and im sold.

Heres the newest trailer - looks pretty spiffy:

When are you and the Cobra guys getting together to play Special Forces? We should all get together one night over the holiday!

Night vision, zip-lines and grappling hooks are either going to make or break this game, no doubt. I'm kinda suspicious since it has come out so quickly and I think the Vietnam team is responsible. I'm still getting it today but I hope this game was balanced out throughly. I think the game is going to lose a big aspect in its play, which is choke-points. Since all buildings are scaleable, choke-points are definitely going to be downplayed a bit.

I'm still waiting to see what reviewers and gamers alike have to say about the Special Forces expansion, as the small amount of maps and few new gameplay gimmicks really don't make this expansion seem like it's worth the $30. Unfortunately, it looks like it may be a while before we see any more information posted on the offical gaming sites because the Thanksgiving break is upon us and most of the gaming sites are still feverishly trying to finish up reviews for XBox 360 products.

If any of you do get this game, make sure to post some impressions whenever you have the time.

Weeman, I'll defintely post impressions on the game. Also, in BF I go under
NeN Conrooks, so if you get an invite to join our squad, please do! Its always fun to game with fellow TNLers.
