After reading through some old reviews of the early pre release battlefield, I am starting to feel gyped, we were promised some more destructable environments, so far, the only thing that I have seen are barrels and that door at the start of karkand. Looking through the screenshots, I saw maps that havent ever seen the light of day, and they were playable too, what the fuck is wrong with EA? Cant they make more maps? Or at least, ask mod teams to send in maps? Check them, then make them ranked??!

FFS!

looks like some of those screen shots were taking from a different game modern combat perhaps?

Nope, the maps look nothing like it

However, the guys and choppers looked different because it was a snow map, so uniforms and stuff were changed, I guess

Where is the dumptruck? Where are the containers held up by a destructible chain? Where are these maps? Where are the lasers for guiding in bombs?

WTF EA!!??

The pictures from that snowy map are from Söldner. Notice that all pics have the BF2 healthbar except the snowy ones.

I wonder why the place I work at went through all the trouble of putting 300 huge metal poles in the ground all the way around the complex as a tank barrier when they could have used a chainlink fence that works just as well for half the price?

pack of bitches EA. Why don't they rank comunity maps? Simple, then you wouldn't pay for 3, count them 3 new maps every 4 months. They should be beaten with dryed horse shit for this. Look at Valve, still spewing out free content for HL2, we have got squat from EA, not even a map pack which is standard issue to all Multi player games. WANKERS!!!

We then had a chance to see some of the game's vehicles, starting with the destruction of a tank, a dump truck driving around in the tunnels under the construction site, and a battle between a Huey chopper and a soldier armed with a missile launcher. With the first shot, the RPG missed its target, and the chopper swung around to return some machinegun fire. The soldier managed to stay clear to the gunfire, but in the process, the chopper shot down a chain that was holding up a container high above the construction site. After the container came crashing to the ground, the game's producers explained that many of Battlefield 2's maps should have many subtle elements like this, allowing players to come up with creative (and likely humorous) ways of dispatching enemies.

God dammit that sounds cool.. and other stuff like that would give BF2 the edge its missing latly.

damn right, every other game gets free content, ive paid 20 dollars for ef and af, yet other games would have given that content for free, i remember on UT 2004 when people asked for more vehicles and maps. they made them a few new vehicles and maps, they didnt charge everyone 10 fucking dollars, and its the same for hl2 and alot of other older games. i feel like a sucka paying for extra content, but they know they have us by the balls and theyre greedy enough to do it

It reflects the sad way game development is going. Big software houses that don't need to compete anymore, they can quite happily make all their users pissed off at them, but the same users have no choice as the same big software house will probably out the next big blockbuster. Its kinda like car manufactures. think its like 4-5 companies build 99% of all cars now.

NOTE: battlefield TV is battle-recorder according to that review, they just left out the rewind part, and the ability to "twist" the camera like when you fly a plane or chopper and put the joystick to the left....

if ea does a shitty job on 2142, they can seriously kiss my ass, not that they care, but i can live without giving them cash....

anyway, if they don't put in the features they promised, ill un-agree with the license (uninstall) and demand my money back! even if it wont work. i DEMAND a working laser on my scar-l and that infantry can mark a target for my gunner

Wouldnt it be funny, to blind infantry with the laser designator, then watch them fly sky high as jets rape the shit outta them

Could those images be from the xbox version?

Heres some pics and it has snow maps in there.

Hope that one day ea gives us the xbox maps for free seeing as they already exist and were probably modeled on pc.

Yeah, most of that stuff is pretty clearly from BF2:MC. I think GameSpy just assumed it was for the PC version.

dunno about bris-vegas, but in melb EB are having a sale on atm and SF is 30% (or something close to that) off - well worth the purchase. SF maps rock.

Man, looking at those screenshots makes me sad... I want snow maps on the pc!
