BF2S Forums Easter Egg in Great Wall

helis on great wall? lmao, that would stop all those players who never cap a flag and spend the whole round on the wall as medics. they would all be shot dead in seconds

nice find btw. ive been to those villages u mention before, but i never saw the heli pads

Ill check it out when I get a chance, nice find btw. Although, the pads do look way outa place on the terrain.

I was just wondering whether choppers would have actually balanced out the usual stalemate on Great Wall - where tanks just sit at the gates and shoot through, whilst the infantry just battle it out along the walls. Imagine a heli flying over that. Would be awesome fun for a heli it must be said. But, it would take away the only real infantry map in EF, so maybe thats why they left them out for that map? Unless they plannted to have Stingers on the tops of the towers to balance it out? Would be interesting to see on a full 64player server as to what it would be like.
Cant say I dont like EA/Dice for leaving them out and then not removing the helipads - why on earth would anyone ever usually try to go out that far? It has no effect on gameplay or the way the map is played or runs, so why bother?

And I always did wonder why there was mobile AA on the 16player version. I just assumed it was to shoot the EU parachutists out of the sky with

Just been looking through the localisation files and guess what. Looks like EA left out some stuff for EF.
C:\Program Files\EA Games\Battlefield 2\mods\bf2\Localization\English\english_mappacks.utxt

It lists all of the CP names on the maps.....Great Wall has the following:

CP_16_GW_QuanTemple           Quan Temple
CP_16_GW_QuanCompound         DELETED
CP_16_GW_QuanWalkway          DELETED
CP_16_GW_CompundWall          DELETED
CP_16_GW_CentralWall          DELETED
CP_32_GW_QuanFortress         Quan Fortress
CP_32_GW_QuanCompound         Quan Compound
CP_32_GW_HuangVillage         Huang Village
CP_32_GW_CamYin               Cam Yin
CP_32_GW_LaoSengHill          Lao Seng Hill
CP_32_GW_LiuShuChunVillage    DELETED
CP_32_GW_WeiTianVillage       DELETED
CP_32_GW_LaoTianYeRoad        Lao Tian Ye Road


....looks like bold ones were going to be the heli spawning villages that Bot found. There are also some DELETED ones for Taraba Quarry....
Wonder if those deleted CP's would have made the map less of a stalemated war of attrition?


Also, for the kill messages, we have the following:

KILLMESSAGE_VEHICLE_harrier   DELETED
KILLMESSAGE_VEHICLE_lynx      Lynx AH-7
KILLMESSAGE_VEHICLE_vb1       DELETED

Although it combines the EF and AF into one file, I believe thats what the Harrier is from. Bastards left that out too.
But for EF...although the EU dont have a transport heli in any of their maps - I bet that thats what the Lynx was going to be for. As for a "vb1"...well, who knows.

Ea have put the heli pads on great wall but they forgot to add helicopters and +1

Google+TBF2 got me this:

LOL - now that would be interesting.

they should of put in a chinook or a merlin as the EU transport

Yea...but it would be nerfed.

man EA/Dice leave so much good stuff out of BF2......
its a shame really, they coulda added so much more content which probably woulda kept people playing longer and more people buying 2142 because theyd be more happy with EA's games.

good find just shows how halfed ass EA does their work

actually, bf2 mapping can be extremely picky. its highly probable that for whatever reason taking those parts out ended up fucking with its ability to load without crashing.
