this is on the back of the game cd case, and also in the bf2 game preview pics on ea.com. I don't know why they
got rid of it.

Has anyone played single player with out down loading any patches for the game?

Its when you could jump and run and shoot at the same time.

I wonder if that chopper is in there.

You can even notice the soldiers are in different uniforms.

There's actually a few differences on the back of the BF2 and SF cases that don't appear in game. The SF one has insurgents on Devi'ls Perch, the Hind in Russian markings. The BF2 has an F-18 on Dalian, that Blackhawk and also a screenshot of the original Mashtuur map with the original soldier skins and the Abrams with a smoke discharger on the main gun.

What I find fascinating is that even now, 2 years on, EA have just launched their stats site. And what does their main logo depict?
Yup, thats right. The old MEC uniforms on Divided City.

That was the first thing that I noticed. Out of interest: could that come under false advertising?

also there are missing spawn points on Great Wall which would have contained a chopper for each side

That was Phrozenbots discovery And they aren't missing from the map, they were meant for the missing 64player EF maps.

There are also some on Taraba, at the top of the cliffs to the left and right side of the Quarry Dig Site. Lots of buildings and they contain sandbags for TOW's/Stingers. No helipads though, but looking through the map file for Taraba you can find that the 16player version was originally going to have choppers:

rem [ObjectSpawnerTemplate: CP_16P_Taraba_EUCampSpearhead_AttakHeli]

Just one, for the main EU base.

However there are no missing CP's on Smoke Screen so my guess is that they took out the 64player maps as they couldnt expand Smoke (either that or they'd have taken out the Wind Farm CP or something).


Also, if you look through the localisation for Warlord you can find this:

rem [ObjectSpawnerTemplate: CP_16p_WL_SasBase_SpdBoat]

...river raids on Warlord eh?

Just FYI, the current F/A-18C (rounded intakes, short wing, single-seat) was originally intended to be the F/A-18D or F/A-18F, both double-seaters. Deep inside BF2's files there's a file laying out an unused HUD for the F/A-18's copilot.

Also, does anyone know what a "VB1", "VB-1", "VB.1", or anything like that is? It's in the EF localization files, but I don't know what it is.

Yes, I was looking at that the other night. But it could have been for AF to be honest. Its either:

Vespa VB1


Voxan VB1


Or the VBL:

Thats more likely (to me) and that would have been the EU's version of the DPV or Hummer.

A lot of stuff are in the localization files which show what could have been in the game.

"Enemy Wheelbarrow Spotted"
Something about Laser Designators/ Binoculars etc.

There is also mention of an extra map- "Glowing Pass"

If you look closely at the in game screen shot in settings, in BF2 you will notice a map that is not included i nthe game- IT ISNT MASHTUUR!!! - a map that was never included prehaps?

Anybody remember how some of the very early interviews said that there would be custom, personalized decals that would appear, for instance, on a tank if you were driving it? I think that was scrapped really early on.

Also, if you look at this one particular interview video, where they describe the laser pointer, notice how at one point it shows someone driving a large dump-truck through a pipe on kubra dam.

Im so sad when i look on the amazing pics and i know that we cant do shit
Me and others WANT the missing stuff from the game !
Anyway there are a lot good ideas in this forum.
Tune up EURO FORCE like this !

This could be the EU Anti Air vehicle "the gepard" so why does EU use the Linebacker ?

Anyway if i could i would change a lot of crap in this game. Like the SAS would not have Abrams,Blackhawk,LAV. They would have the Challanger 2 from EF as its the brithis armor !!!
LOT OF THING NEEDS TO BE CHANGED ! SOMEONE HELP US WE CANT WAIT HELP FROM EA !
A little gift for the good customer support and as they said NO to the users and to us !

The EU doesn't use it because that's a knockoff of the Tunguska, which is the MEC's AA vehicle.

yup,if you get in free camera mode and look on the west side of Warlord there's the river.follow it toward the Palace and there's a nice little area to land boats,along with a road leading to the Palace.i actually think it would've been a great idea,but unfortunately they took it out.

Divided City still is around.  its considered a mod map pack, but you can download it.  I forget where though.

No this is called Gepard (Flakpanzer Gepard) and its the AA vehicle produced by the German army so its not Tunguska ! And Germany is in Europe so its much closer to the EU then the Linebacker.
So much different and much better check this out fellas !

Second one has the old MEC flag design. You notice the star next to the promotion text on the last image? For some reason, when I join a laggy server, the spawnpoints all show up as that star.

this happens everytime for me, if i managed to fix my copy of bf2 i'd screenshot (*sob* the damn thing won't fix, my K/D ratio will be shite forever)
they do this in 2142 sometimes as well

I think, I'm pretty sure about this

weirdly that makes it look like the rockets are just for decoration rather than practical use, which would better explain why they were removed...

Fighter - typhoon
Bomber - Tornado/Jaguar
Tanks - Chall 2/Leopard
APC - Warrior/Marder
Light transport - land rover
Heavy transport - dunno, maybe that thing snake had
Trans chopper - Lynx
Attack helo - Tiger
AA - Gepard

You could also drop in the Saab Gripen or Dassault Mirage jets.
The Austrian Puch G would make a nice light transport and the German ATF Dingo a nice heavy transport.

Poison gas! Hell yeah I want it!
The Lynx looks tight too.

who says rebels can't be rich?
