BF2S Forums Who else wants a new Special Forces map patched in?

Although I think including a new map in a patch which can't be accessed by 100% of the community is a little unfair and would almost definitely have people up in arms about EA/DiCE screwing people over, I would love to see such a well known map as Karkand ported over as a night map.

That would simply rule.

For some reason I only like Ghost Town and Warlord... I really can't stand any of the other maps.  Worst? Iron Gator (horrible setup).

I think what they really need to do is allow SF maps to be played from vanilla. That way servers could rotate e.g. from mashtuur too surge. Its how I think it should have always been done.

There is a need for more SF maps especially since SF was a booster pack that was a similar price to BF2 Vanilla when that came out.

SF FTW

but it would first need ALL weapons. I hate not having the l96...

I have disagree about the community getting screwed by EA/DICE.  What I'd love to see is a $10 booster pack for SF like they did for vanilla BF2.  3 or 4 maps.  Say 1 map of Seals vs Spetznas, 1 of SAS vs MECSF, and either Rebel vs Spetznas or Seals vs Insurgents. 

I have to agree that EA/DICE has not been as good to those who like SF more than vanilla. 

I like both EF and AF so I'd be willing to pay $10 for 3 good quality SF maps.  I'd prefer they all be day maps  but even if they weren't I'd play them.  I'm so sick of Warlord and Ghost Town that I don't play much SF except for Iron Gator and I'm starting to get tired of it.

I didn't say that EA/DiCE had screwed over the community, just that I thought there would be a lot of people who would immediately start waving there hands about shouting "zomg EA and DiCE are n00bz, why don't we get a new mapzor!!!!11111onezor".

I would agree that EA have not released anything new for SF but you have to remember that SF is in itself an expansion, not a game in it own rights. I would imagine that they would view releasing an expansion pack for an expansion pack as a waste of their resources as it would not be available to all of their customer base.

Now since they have been pushing the deluxe edition of BF2 which includes SF then maybe the number of SF owners has reached a point where it would be financially viable to put more resources into developing SF material.

I love SF and really need to spend more time on it. I've not been fond of night maps but I thinkn that is a result of my unfamiliarity with the map whereas were such a popular map as Karkand or Sharqi ported over but at night the large majority of people playing the map would be more or less familiar with the layout, but the style of play would change dramatically. More accessible roofs, places to hide and C4 armour, stalking the alleyways and tight areas with nightvision, these are all things which I think a huge proportion of the community would enjoy.

It's just my humble opinion, but I reckon a map of this style could be seriously intense and fun to play.

Man, I havn't played enough SF. I would play more, but my mates are having probs installing it, because of EA's FUCKING account name system on their download tool. I personally can't get EF or AF because of that tool. My user name doesn't exist. Any help on this - please PM me. You'll get my day's karma allowance.

Second, I'm in the UK so please recommend some good SF servers where people play as a team, and I'll look em up tonight! SF needs playing!

Agreed I would love to see an urban night map, I can fore see a problem with claymore spamming though...

Yep i absolutely agree, i had thought of that often, it would bring the two communities together.  So we would see more people from Vanilla playing SF and vice versa.  Is it me or does this just seem like common sense, it would be so easy to do as well.

You're forgetting the zip lines and grappling hooks aspect of SF. I hate to think what glitches could be found in the vanilla BF2 maps if someone had SF tools.

@DSRTurtle, Karkand, Sharqi and Mashtuur with new spawn points and night would pretty much be new maps. Different tactics needed, different or no vehicles (just an elite force on a mission). I think it would be fantastic and would require less work by EA and DiCE than totally new maps. We could actually see this.
