------------------

Theres the link and info if anyone didnt know.

There are 8 new weapons, and we can assume that 2 will be the new anti-tank and sniper unlocks for regular BF2 (and perhaps special forces?). The L96A1 is the only sniper, and the anti tank is probably HK3, or possibly the HK21. The rest, by my guesses, are:

Assault - SA80 L85A2 with UGL (AG-36)
Support - HK21
Medic -  Famas or SA80 L85A2
Engineer - Benelli M4
Sniper - L96A1
Spec Ops - Famas or P90
Anti-Tank - HK3

I would like the button to grow bigger and start flashing if you fail to use it. So all the others wont get that crap.

The more posts that are made, without the search button being clicked, will cause the search button to grow larger and larger, until it's at font size 72, bold, and red.  I think that would work.

Maybe we should make the search button like the c4, mines, and claymores red skull and crossbones in game.  Like that, everyone would be pushing it (and then punishing!)  LOL

let me guess... all the tanks and planes and choppers will be the exact same as the ones already here. just like they made the choppers the exact same in SF. they should make a chopper with MGs on the side that the pilot can use, kinda like an anti infantry chopper or something? i dont know. but something different than the attack choppers we have now.

The SF choppers are not the same. In terms of gun placement, yes, but in terms of speed/manuverability/rocket splash damage/armor, they're very different. The Hind is virually a flying tank since it takes 3 AT rockets to bring it down.

the attack helos are not all the same. The Mi-28 Havok is slower then the other 2, with less agility, but the gunner's cannon makes up for that, with higher dmg, and a large amount of splash dmg. The AH-1Z Super Cobra is by far the most nimble of the 3, easyily dodging most fire, but the gunner's cannon is only a 3 barreled gatlin cannon, meaning that it has very little splash dmg, and isn't very good against vehicles (though like the Blackhawk's M134 cannons, it can shoot through the armour plating on a HMMWV or GAZ). And the Z-10 is a mix of the 2, not as nimble as the Cobra, but faster then the Havok, with heavy calibre 3 barrel gatlin cannon with decent splash dmg.

The new attack chopper for the European Forces is the Euro Tiger, one of the few attack helos in the world that can acctually pull off a backflip, very nimble in rl, with a high crew survival rate in a crash due to a very well designed cockpit. I'm hoping EA/Dice recognise this, and reflect it somehow in game.

Also saw that the new transport helo is a small and nimble helo (was it the Gazelle? Couldn't tell), probably faster and more nimble then all of the existing transport helos and smaller, allowing it to make rapid, precision troop insertions around a map, and probably better allowing it to avoid incoming fire (u can dodge even a head-on AA missile with the attack helos due to their agility, but haven't managed to in a blackhawk yet).

As to the Apache and Hind in SF, I've haven't flown them much, but from wot experience I have had with them I can say the Apache felt much 'heavier' then any of the attack choppers in vanilla BF2, which is bs, as it should be more nimble then the Havok or Hind.

And the new Tanks, a Challenger 2, and the Predator 2A6, the Challenger is basicly the British equivelent of the Abrams, though not complete sure of it's rl specs, whereas the Predator is a lighter, faster tank, possible been introduced instead of giving the European Forces an APC? Unless they also use the LAV-25 Stryker. Both the Challenger and the Abrams outmatch a T-90, however due to a collision mesh problem with the Abrams, it is at a disadvantage due to taking far more dmg from rough terrain then a T-90, making the T-90 the better tank in BF2.
