I found something pretty cool fooling around in Great Wall waiting for players to join. I've always noticed some villages in the out of bounds, but never bothered to check them out. It was today that I decided to do some exploring with my trusty medkit at my side and a DPV to get far in the out of bounds. What I found sort of surprised me, and raised some questions.

Spawn at the Huang village. The secret is north. Just stay on the road.

See the village? Keep going.

Here it is! A heli pad! What in the world? After taking it in, I speculated that maybe Great Wall might have been larger, for a 64 player version. I've been roaming around the PLA village, and haven't found a helipad there but I did find a much larger village. Both villages feature sandbags where tow-missles would be, and have all sorts of buildings to go in.

Yea, I bet you would find other things on the other EF maps because they werent made to be 64 players. Alot of maps have sandbags and stuff in places where you wouldnt usualy use it. DICE was probably trying different layouts for the map and left those defensive positions in. I always wondered why the never did anything like a trench in the game. Dosent make sense to me.

Just found the other south of Cam Yin (PLA main). I'd like to ask EA about this.

Just adds to the probability of originally helis on Great Wall. First clue was the AA vehicles on 16 player Great Wall,

I was always wondering about this, seems like a perfect map that would balance choppers and infantry.

Might have been attack helis, but just think what would happen with 15 guys hiding in those ramparts. The Tiger Hap and it's meat grinder gun would be a gunners dream.

Nice sig Mr. Casual.

There are a bunch of things EA/DICE left out of the game, A10s different skins for the F18, F15, F35, AH1Z, and UH60 for MEC maps. And also they left out the AH60 Warhawk. Mastaur was supposed to be a map with planes and choppers. They planed to have hovercraft in the game and some PT boats. Also 4 maps are missing from SF that were planed. They unlocked the A10 for the USI mod Hellogoodsir told me. I would bet that they had more maps planed for reg BF2 and there were a few badges that werent added in SF that they had planed along with 3 medals that they had planed for reg BF2. It took them awhile to add in all the ranks they had planed. Did you also know that they had a USMC/China city map planed(cant remeber the name).

I bet you those hovercrafts and PT boats will be used in a theoretical naval booster. Those awards you speak of are right here http://www.totalbf2.com/page.php?do=medals. Scroll down to the EF medals section.

They really do need an urban combat map with the PLA.

What do you want to bet that there were 3 armys planed for EF, and those are the Army medals, the EF medal is probably for time spend combined with all 3 armys or time on all the maps.
