BF2S Forums What was the potential of the BF2 engine?

some of those woud be cool but a few i just dont uncderstand why we would need them. one is punching and kicking. i have a big gun go ahead and try to punch me.

"-shoot inside the tank and kill the crew like in 'Saving Private Ryan'?"

Where talking about modern combat here, not WWII

BF2 cant even stay connected lol
Edit : You do have good ideas it would be great to see them in action, I like the underwater idea.

-blackouts during flying?

-being dazed when shot by M95 (i'm sure they can do this, someone already suggested that the whole shell shock thingy should happen when hit by M95)?
-bullet holes in cockpit obscuring view?
-waterfalls that you can ride down!?
-rain? snow? sleet? hail? heat horizons?

-jump off ladders?
-destroy tank treads and remove mobility?

-close and open doors?

-Yes
-There already are, kind of... not real waves
-Possibly
-Yes
-Yes
-Probably not
-Yes
-Yes
-It kind of happens. Take an M95 and shoot the INSIDE of the Blackhawk's cockpit glass then get in
-Maybe
-Rain is possible but a realistic look makes it lag, the unrealistic look is retarded
-Probably
-Probably
-Probably not
-Yes
-No

To expand on the original poster I owuld add:

- Variable damage to all vehicles which affects performance (i.e. shooting the front tire on a jeep will make it very difficult to steer and would limit speed)
- Change in player speed/accuracy when wounded
- Being able to "cook" a grenade.
- Being able to change a kit at a supply crate
- Squad Leaders/Commander should be able to request an air strike
- Tow guns on the Hummers like in SF & maybe mounted stingers on the vehicles
- Ability to partially conceal mines/claymores when deployed in certain areas (requires a certain amount of time like repairing) - could not be done on concrete for example.

You know, the more I look at Crysis the more I think this'll be the game that hurts my machine.

All games i've played on my new machine it has flown through with max anti-aliasing etc.

But crysis...  goddamn.

My machine:

Athlon 64 X2 4800+
512MB Sapphire X1900XTX
2GB OCZ RAM
etc

I would love to see a Battlefield 2 like mod for Crysis with something like the stats system and weapon unlocks, I would be in heaven then.

Somebody's been playing a bit too much GTA lately. Tank-jacking? Wot's next, eh?

all that would be sweet even though if you got shot be the m95 you would be missing a body part from where ever it hit you. if they hit your arm it would be torn off. also i think they should have all your badges shown on your guys body when you die or if someone looks at you.

ummmm.....or maybe someone's been watching too many Saving Private Ryan. As for the wot's next, molotovs (also from SPR)

Maybe even gas. I mean, those beasts can only have so much fuel. They have a gas station in karkand and oman.

Here's more and remember, some of these are my ideas, some are ones that I've read but the goal is, is it possible with the engine not if its a good idea or not:

-TNT?
-time bombs?
-self healing process like in MGS3 (no not Call of Duty so don't flame me for that)
-On and off switch for lights
-being able to turn over vehicles that are currently stable or have already been turned over
-dig ditches
-changeable uniforms like in Vietnam (okok so we could only choose what boonies we could wear)
-falling down a steep slope makes you fall down when you stop

-customize weapon stats
------seeing that this one will get some heat let me explain
EG:
sniper rifle has a max of 20 weapon points. Following categories are:
Accuracy: 13
Reload Time: 3
Cocking: 4

Now say you want less bullet drop well you just change the numbers:
Accuracy: 16
Reload Time: 2
Cocking: 2

Now alot of people will go, wtf? I could just put accuracy on 20. Well then there are rules:
-you can only do this after promotion or perhaps achieve certain stats say a certain K/D, time or accuracy
-no slot can have 0, minimum is 1


Ok since we got that cleared up and seeing how this post is pretty lengthy. I'll let you guys breathe that in before posting more engine limits.

Most of the stuff you said almost has nothing to do with engine. If you want blackouts during flying that can be coded. It does not have any relation to the engine. So is gun jamming. That is coded and isnt exactly engine. Engine is the physics and graphics engines not little coded events.

The BF2 engine is pretty outdated. It was in development for about 4 years.

Heres something for you snow map fanatics. Its from a BF2 mod thats coming out:

Snow maps are possible, they just dont fit in with the BF2 theme too well, but mabey you could have one in northern China...
