Vanilla is considered to be a classic, but bland flavoring. With SF coming out offering a new flavor of Battlefield 2 play, there were a few who started calling the original release "vanilla" and it stuck.

I don't really mind the term, it is just kind there and isn't really offensive - similarly part of the community is the overused and slightly offensive term n00b tube. It is used widely enough that it is truly a part of the community, unlike C4 "sandwich" where only those obsessed with throwing them call it that.

The term "vanilla" has been used to describe un-modded versions of games for some time, at least as far back as BF42. I've seen it used for other games as well, such as UT.

I suspect the slang will be around for awhile, but I don't much care either way. Any word's as good as the next as long as we all know what we're talking about.

I think calling it Vanilla is racist. i see, beacuse it's plain, it's got to be vanilla (white) now? Racist bastards, why not call it BF:Lame Honky.

I'm kidding, I don't care what you call it.

Battlefield 2: Armored Fury will add three new maps, all set in the rural heartland of America where the US forces defend their homeland from Chinese and MEC forces. This Booster Pack will also introduce two new vehicle classes: Attack Jets with the ability to use rocket pods and cluster bombs, and agile Scout Choppers which will reveal nearby enemies. "Midnight Sun" takes place on the Alaskan border, where Chinese forces make landfall. "Operation Harvest" will take the player to the vast open plains of Pennsylvania where only the expert use of air and armor will assure victory. "Operation Road Rage" sees all-out tank warfare on the freeways of America.

But not as gay as the term g-h-e-y when you mean "gay"!  Only kiddding but I do prefer ther term "Vanilla" to people who use the term "pwned".  I mean exactly how hard is it to spell the word "owned"?  Oh sorry, just because some programmer spelled it wrong on some game donkey years ago, it must be funny....

yeah, what's wrong with just "BF2"?

BF2, SF, EF (Euro Force), AF (Armored Fury). It doesn't need another name, the acronym works just fine.

Lol we went over this earlier. Someone named previous original un modified games vanilla due to their unadulterated nature compared to that of expansions etc. and it jsut kinda stuck, much like n00b tube and pwnd

In other news, Mayor Ray Nagin has asked EA to develop "BF2:Chocolate".  This new version of the popular Battlefield series would place National Guard troops in a flooded US city up against angry residents and south florida hoodlums (rebels?) that had travelled to the area to lay claim to the area.  EA CEO LAwrence F Probst stated, "Nagin presented a number of truly unique arguments for the sequal, however, the most enticing was when he proclaimed 'this is the way God wants it.'"
