Yeah, it does sound cool. I want an American urban map - with skyscrapers. Now that would be fucken awesome.
On a more pressing matter, what colour do you thing the "2" will be this time. We've had Red, Green and Blue, so I reckon Yellow now.
And in no way will China be the next superpower. It's too pollouted, corrupt and environmentally un-friendly. Just because it has manpower does not mean it can get all it's shit together.
And yeah, MEC dosn't exist, and nor do any of the battles that we have fought so far in the BF2 world. Strictly fictional, so why the Hell can't the US be invaded? If the US is not going to be invaded in real life, we can make it be invaded virtually.
Anyway, think about the coloured "2" thing...
You bring good points. However, China is no longer communist. It is nationalist with the Communist Party as it's authoritarian despot. The strides China has made to introduce capitalism within the country will take care of any significant damage corruption might bring. Remember, although there is corruption in the capitalist world, there is more in the Communist one, and these strides in recent years will reduce that factor.
The world is increasingly more interlinked, and that mean's China is able to industrialize easier. Manpower + Industrialization is a formidable force. The only reason why China hasn't been a superpower a few centuries ago was it was a backward rural nation. The Communist Party, through force, is changing that. The Party will "get it's shit together"
Environmentally unfriendly? Since when did that stop any nation from gaining more power? USA's rejection of the Kyoto Protocol?
And yes, all of this is fictional, this entire game is fictional. We probably won't have war with China and there will probably be no MEC. However, the question we must ask is: In this fictional world, does the USA have nuclear weapons/state of military power and advantageous geographical position as it is in now? (oceans, alaskan landings, usa air power?)
"If the US is not going to be invaded in real life, we can make it be invaded virtually."
Exactly. That's why I believe this booster pack will be fun. It will be different and put us in an interesting position. I stated before this IS a game after all.
<{SoE}>Agamemnar: The Romans did not have nuclear weapons and the ability to destroy the world and bring about the end of our species.
Now that we're talking about that:
MUTANT SOLDIERS WOULD BE COOL IN A THIRD BOOSTER PACK
