BF2S Forums i love this pack

Snake, the Hornet's nest is soon to be sent, just to let you know.

Yes, Smoke Screen = fun for a plenty of people's taste. I remember when EF came out, the EU would lose almost all the time. After a month (even more), EF started to whoop ass. On Smoke Screen, if the EF have Windfarm, MEC is pretty much screwed. Migs can't do crap to the Euro Fighter, so their goes the air support.

More to add! I'm feeling very ill right now.

Snake: Couldn't agree more. I played on a nice server before. It was a strange name so I don't remember it, sorry. But it played Great Wall Only.
Don't know if it just was for the day or not. The server was in Europe, a German speaking country.

Very short review of the maps.
Great Wall: This is my favorite map, it's the best map in the whole game. Armor don't dominate, even if there are two tanks and a apc per team. Inside the walls there are a lot of houses to hide in, TOWs to take out armor. It's great on both 16 and 32 sizes.
10/10

Operation Smoke Screen: First of all, I got to say that I love the thick black smoke. It's unique, it's awesome.
Like Snake said, this is the map for you if you like big tank battles, helicopters and airplanes.
Snake, you said that you mostly saw the MEC team? When I play Smoke Screen (often on Jolt Smoke only) the EU team almost wins every round. It's a great and cool map. Better than many of the regular bf2 maps.
7/10

Taraba Quarry: The worst map in this booster, it can be horrible. If you like to whore planes this is the map for you.
Like Snake said, "its like Kubra, but with less CP's and just as big and open. Its way too big, the terrain is all but flat, boring and the map is brown. Horrible. Jets and LGM's tend to rule it really."
4/10

But it's overall a great booster, i think it's better than AF. The EU army is awesome and got some really great weapons and vehicles.
8/10

Off Topic, I made a new account before, just for fun.I played EF and got 100 points. Then I take a look at my stats and there's a strange thing. I have Assault Rifle as favorite weapons but the medic at the picture is holding a pistol. :S
As you can see, http://bf2s.com/player/74917698/

Sorry if my grammar is bad, it's late and I'm tired.


And, HelloGoodSir, "krya på dig" as we say in Sweden. (It's something like, "cheer up" or "hope you'll get better soon")

I agree with a lot with what Kratos said. I've played on Jolt UK 24/7 Smoke Screen, and MEC gets spanked hard. The Jolt server sucks because... everyone moves to the EF side, especially the high ranking and experience Smoke Screen players, leaving us to get raped. Plus my lag sucks, so I can't utilize the TV missile on the Havok at all.

If any of you have played Great Wall on the 16 player version, you know how fun it is inside the castle walls. Those points needed to be included in the 32 version, or maybe the theoretical 64 player version. While it's not impossible to infiltrate the walls when one team holds it, it can be very hard, especially with good defenders who mine the gates and put claymores on the cracks. I've gotten plenty of claymore kills that I made some pesky invaders so mad, they all t-bagged me when they killed me. I was laughing my butt off. Not at them being mad, it's just being t-bagged looks funny I'm not arrogant is what I'm saying.

More flags on Taraba could have made driving to the enemy shooter, thus less time is wasted on driving and more on fighting, which equals more points! The map is notorious for people to average out with maybe 30-40 points a round for some, and only the elite/lucky tankers, AA whores, and jets get the decent scores. The rounds are long to, so in reality the SPM from the map just sucks. The dam could have been made with an entrance or something to walk in, giving infantry a chance to duke it out without worrying about jets or tanks. The dam and the landscape around it is pretty much useless. Not to mention there isn't a whole lot of landscape that is helpful in battle. Since it's so flat and only has minimal buildings around flags, it's very boring for infantry, and simply just a pain in the ass to play. I've played the 16 player version with computers on Taraba, and it's very fun. Plenty of flags, and smaller distances in between make infantry battles more prominent. Smoke Screen on the 16 player version is basically the same but no jets, but smaller.

EF weapons are well done! One problem may be the scopes on some of the weapons. If you look at the L86, SVD, M24, and Type 88, you can tell the scope looks more realistic. The FAMAS and L96 scope look a little clumsy, so maybe a nice touch up would be in order. Anyways, EF weapons give the army different and distinctive strengths over other armies. FAMAS = the best assault weapon for CC. Insane gun.

And why did people laugh at the voices? How was Dice supposed to please everyone? Some people wanted one class to have an accent from a country origin, others just didn't care. I've listened to Europeans and I can say they did a good job of trying to make it sound authentic. I'm not European, but it sounds alright to me. Other people may not think so because they have never listened to any Europeans speak. They don't all speak posh like our media likes to present. Ahh, oh well.

Kratos, good friend, thank you for the hospitality. I'm really not sure why I'm feeling ill, so I'm seeing a doctor Monday. My PC is having problems too, so I'm not sure if I can play BF2 any time soon It's quite an accomplishment for any person to have learned a second language, and be able to engage in it comfortably. I can't say that myself, and I've got a lot of respect for Europeans who can. I'm trying to learn Mandarin (Chinese), but it's hard. Probably not the best language to start out with, but I want to visit China some day, so go figure

Support is Hk21, but the spec op slips my mind as well. I haven't played Spec Ops on EF very much, ever since I got 100 hours for it.

So yea, if someone made an EF fan club, I'd join.

ice cream for the win?

euro force is good, just not a fan of having to download it, thats a stupid idea. but i did anyway, and its not bad, i like it, specially great wall and smoke screen and the euro fighters. i feel like a mug for payin for a "booser" though, unreal developers gave away new maps and vehicles for free, and have done throughout the series, and cs get new maps. its a con. but whatever. like i say, its good, nothing special just an ok "addon"..........

The Spec Ops gun is a HK53A3 (its pretty much an MP5, but with a better sound and a 40round clip..its a pretty decent weapon). Assault class has an L85A2 with an AG-36 (nade launcher).
And, I actually quite like the Famas scope, its pretty decent. Although, nothing compared to my L85A1, but then again, no gun does really

The L2A6 (Leopard Tank) is my favourite tank in the game, with the C2 and M1A2 in a close second.
Im no jet whore and never use them, so Ive no idea on the Eurofighter, all I hear is that its bloody hard to shoot down?
And personally, I think the Tiger is complete pwnage

With regards to Smoke Screen - that is true that most people tend to swap to EU on the map, but before all that started to happen, MEC would win that map a LOT. There were loads of times when I was EU and they sat outside our uncap with god knows how many tanks pounding us to a pulp
But it seems to have reversed now, or at least, on that server anyway.

Ive actually found a TV2 64man EF only server, which runs all 3 maps. Its in my favourites and have had it for about a week or so, but not once have I seen anyone in the damn thing

Btw hellogoodsir, whats your PID so I can check out your stats

Take out Oman (not a big fan of that map) and replace with Dalian, Daqing, Road Rage or Midnight Sun...perfect. But then again, it hasnt got Karkand in it, so it would be perfect

Ive got about 10 TV2 servers in my favs, so I got a good choice for good 24/7 maps on low ping servers that are often full up. Even the Clean Sweep and Zatar ones are often full

Yeah, there is way too many Karkand servers :S
I have karkand as my most played map, but I really don't like it. It's all about tank whoring, nadespam and spawncamping
The best city map is IMO Sharqi

But I want more maps to EF or maybe some new maps in Vanilla BF2 with EU vs MEC or PLA. Then maybe more people like the EU and want more maps with them, so they buy EF and then we'll have more servers that runs EF

I liked it for a little while but the fad soon wore of and i stopped playing it just like SF and Af .

like alot of other people on here my centiments towards EA are the same (not buying anymore stuff from them) but i know am gonna get 2142 . Damn it i just cant resist them .

Well, we think that the AA is there for either

1) Shooting down EU parachutists

2) The helis that might have been in the map (you can find helipads on the 32size great wall, out in the next village due south and north of the PLA and EU uncaps respectively)
