AF already being Left...

I love AF actually the maps are great, and take some though to fight in them.

good all around booster.

but alas i didnt play yesterday really, got on tonite at 8pm ..all the 64 man road rage and harvest servers were half full....

now its mid night only like 25 people in them

its sad most bf2 players have this niche, or Stat Syringe stuck in their arm. Anything new or challenging...makes them go back to there karkand and wake

OHNOES! i might have to try something new...

even if a bunch of community maps got Approved by Dice/ea and ranked...noone would play them as much as KARKAND>>

lame

People don't ignore the new expansion pack because it's "new and challenging" and they'll "have to do something different". It's because they don't like playing with tanks all day, and if you don't like something in a video game, what the fucks the point in doing it? The armor whores will have fun with armored fury, and ground pounders will stick around for the other bf2 maps that are more infantry oriented. And before you start bitching about karkand/wake being played to much, they're played that often for a reason. They're fun maps, especially for ground pounders (which a majority of bf2 players are, hence why almost every server has one of those two in the map rotation), just like your armored fury maps are good for vehicles/people who enjoy tanks and planes. They don't have a stat syringe, they just play what they enjoy doing, which is probably what you do as well. So quit whining because not everyone wants to tank whore, and don't call people who don't want to play it lame.

I have both the Booster packs but the only good map in them is Great Wall, thats the only one for foot soldiers. Its not that the others arent fun, its just that 3 engineers in tanks on a shoke point of the map gets a bit tiresome.

You're wrong. The only map for foot soldiers is Warlord, and if you want to get technical, Night FLight is PURE infantry, hell there's only ONE tank and its not used!!

Anyway, we had AF up on Road Rage 32 and no one joined. I think it has to do ALOT with the server crashes. No one is willing to go to an empty server, and half of the people that have AF servers are retards (except us ) there has been many AF servers that have stupid rules or thier admins kick or tk for the A-10 or Little Bird. I play it, but still have that problem at a certain time, just have to wait until the kids go to bed.

Hi, just thought I'd give my input... Hope you don't mind...

I think the main problem with the booster packs is that everyone seems to set the servers up for just the individual maps for each of them BF2, EF & AF...
I was on a server last night that was suppose to play both standard BF2 maps with AF ones as well. But it turned out the everytime a standard map loaded, it finished it straight away to move onto the next AF map... The only way you are going to keep people playing the booster pack maps is to include them with the rest of the standard ones...

But hey, that's just my oppinion

Of course, EA's track record with expansions and boosters is doing no good.

AF is bound to lose players anyway. The Karkand whores will go back to Karkaband and the jet whores will go back to Wake Island because (and i quote) "Theres too much AA on AF maps"

I love the new maps, i flew the AH-1z around harvest yesterday and went 34 - 6 with a decent gunner too. It was cool, i got lost a couple times because i play with flag icons off. i like it a challange

I love the new pack, but the only true way to keep me playing it if I find a server that has a rotation of maps that include everything. You know? Why does it have to be an "Armored Fury" server, or a "Euro Forces" server??? Can they not be combined or something?

Can you say *VARIETY*?????

You will see soon the following servers:

AF + infantry maps.

THat would be the perfect ground pounder combination. You get your tanks, your AA, and your infantry combat.

I love playing SF on Warlord. It is my fav map. That and Ghost Town I like quite a bit.

What does everyone mean AF isnt doing good? I checked Game Monitor and AF has over 600 servers already...

EA or DICE made the mistake of defineing server type by the current map when it should have been by the whole map rotation. If you in a regular server and they load a EF or AF map and you don't have booster you get disconnected from the server resulting in the server not having enough people on it to play the round and the gets stuck unless some one manualy switches it ( admin or by vote). If they had made it so that if there was any SF, EF, AF maps in the rotation you could not join unless you had particular expansion/booster.
They would have to make extra types of servers more than red( original), greenSF and so on... mayby yellow for AF and SF together and Black for all expansion/booster maps together.

I am sure that people wanted to see city maps from both SF and vanilla together on the same rotation. But the servers list code has never been right.

True, last night pretty much 1/3 of the whole server list was red cuz they were running AF and i don't have it. I'm still not sure if i can be bothered, at the moment i've got SF to go to when the regular maps get boring...

I agree that they should combine the servers though, splitting the user base into segments can only be a bad idea...

I would like to announce that I have changed my ways and I am really gonna get into AF over Kark. I loved EF, but due to a lack of servers I just can't play. I know a few 2, SF, AF rotations but i would prefer a Euro only like the doo2 wrote. Well I just wanted to say not all Kark whores are flocking back to the hotel alley. I am gonna stay in the Little Bird for quite a while

As long as I get lock-ups in AF during play(I'm not the only one) I'm just gonna stick to a TV2 server,they got each map on a seperate server.

It's actually very predictable what happens,first there's a lock-up after joining the map(only taskmanager helps you out of it),then there's a CTD when clicking join game and then I finally can join.
And once you are on the server it's actually pretty stable,haven't had a lost connection in AF yet(but tons of lock-ups!!).

If this problem gets sorted out in the next patch(btw,how long do they expect us to wait under these sh*tty conditions?) I hope to see some servers which run all maps in rotation,BF2,EF and AF.
Varying the maps you play really keeps the gameplay fun alive,those points farmers on Karkand must be really bored sometimes.

My advice is to take a step back, play another game (CoDUO) and then re-elvuate IF you like this game/booster pack.

CoD UO will always > CoD2

At least they had more than 20 stock maps and the submachines couldn't shouldn't farther than 40 feet

We just put in a map rotation on our server with both BF2 and AF hoping to satisfy both worlds.

Have to say I am a ground-pounder type player who can't really drive and certainly can't fly for shit but I am loving the AF maps. It's forcing me to improve my driving skills but what I think really kicks ass is that the maps are well spaced and so seem to encourage team play.

Flags seem to change hands in waves so there is a real choice to be made; push on or stay and defend. Also, with the abundance of tanks about there are a different tactics to chose from; convoy up and have a tank battle or load up in a hummer, drive like crap through the hot-zones and try to make it round the back to do some C4 / AT damage. Not dissing other maps but I have found AF to be very enjoyable so far. Besides which it came out the day after me and my mates finished our finals so we finally have a chance to play together!

Lockups and bugs are a pain in the ass for sure. No doubt EA will release some patches soon for that. But all in all I'm a happy BFer at the moment.

I like your thought on this matter, quite true.

I've only played AF for a couple hours now, but the biggest server I've been on has only been like 24 people total. I'm already bored with Road Rage, probably because half the team of 12 that I've been on fight for the A-10's the other 6 of us seem like we all have a tank. Gotta admit the scout chopper is fun to fly though.
