A battlefield2 thread

I find it easier to kill/be killed with the unlocked SF weapons, esp. the Spec Op gun, and the Flash Bang is a bit of an unfair advantage. Not that I'm complaining here as I have the expansion anyway :p

I don't want to keep buying the expansion just to keep on the same level though :(
 
why arent you on the same level? all the guns if bf2 have different strengths and weaknesses. having one over another may well mean you get to kill or be killed. the same applies to the guns from SF being used in bf2. its by no means an advantage.
ive been killed in bf2 with the unlock from SF. its not made me a better player due to using different guns. its just an award/benefit from not paying cash, but playing SF in my eyes.
you dont just buy SF to get the weapons in bf2, thats just a huge plus.
i bought SF for the new maps,night mode, tear gas/flash bangs and the other weapons.

Exactly my point, the F2000 or whatever it is seems to kill very easily, certainly in a one on one it outguns an AK-47 easily.

I used the flashbang for the first time really last night. I was stuck behind a wall with a tank and apc firing at me. I threw a flashbang and ducked behind the wall again. I then sprinted right past then and away.
It saved my life :)

And?

Im not saying i should get SF for free, i just shouldnt have to pay extra in order to be at the same starting level as players who've bought the expansion.

e.g. SF kit should only be allowed on specific SF servers and maps.

OK, I understand your point. It is a clever marketing ploy on EA/DICE's front to make people buy SF.

But that aside, SF, imho, is good fun and a worthy addition for anyone who is a BF2 fan.

It would have been fairer I guess to just create a tier 2 unlock that anyone with the Tier 1 for that infantry class could unlock - regardless of whether the person only has BF2.

The new expansions are apparently new maps, new vehicles and new 'infantry' skins, no mention of new unlocks AFAIK.

I'm guessing one will expand on BF2 and one on SF.

As for a level playing field - if you've used the SF unlocks you'll know how they have their pros and cons, and are not 'better' than the others.

If your aim is straight and true, it matters not which gun you use.

Actually it does, all the guns in BF2 have set deviation, so if a target is far enough away you can still miss it, even if your pointing straight at it!
 
Killerkebab.
Do you know the admin of that server as i feel there pretty damn weak kicking me because i am owning.
I spent my time on foot taking carp on Wake then when we moved to the city i defended my flag on Foot and had a great round C4ing peeps.
Then i got hold of a tank in the next round and finished 31 kills 0 deaths admittedly Tank whoring but like i said i had spent 3-4 rounds on foot.
Then the next round i get a tank kill 4 peeps whilst we WERE Taking a flag and i get kicked by admin. Now thats weak. Real Weak.

This happens time and time again on Clan servers. There only happy when they are winning if anyones making a difference on thee other side they get kicked. PATHETIC i say.



It seems i was kicked to make room for a paying member. Fair enouth. Just glad i didn't name the server and embarrass myself even more.
Server was great we had some excellent battles. No wonder its full. :cool:

Just reading about the new patch, must say things are looking up i give a big THANK YOU to ea/dice for stopping those bloody apcs killing me while im hiding behind a fence or some boxes.
 
Why shouldnt an APC have some splash damage and kill you when your hiding? If they nerf APCs like that, it would be crap.
 
Malc30, that does sound sad but quite believable. I've seen a player be permantly banned because 'he was too good for the server'

The SF weapons in BF2 is blatent profiteering, they are all great weapons. I dont have SF but I've tried them all by picking up and obviously its an advantage given for payment. EA is the MS of the game world. Its been so sucessfull they will keep on giving an extra advantage to those who subscribe to the latest booster pack.

Iam not that bothered, its a bit of interest for me to go pick and mix peoples corpses :p The advantage is there but Iam good enough to still beat em :D
 
I would only buy an expansion for a game Im playing if it interests me in its own right. I bought road to rome for bf1942 and it was played far less frequently than either normal BF1942 and Desert Combat.

a lot of the maps were unbalanced. I remember one map with a single plane on the other side and multiple tanks and emplacements with only one route to take. It was only winnable by taking the last base by walking the full length of the map behind cover. One guy in a plane was so annoying that I switched teams to TK him and stop him from getting the plane. Was the only thing possible to stop this guy.

This ploy of making a game easier when buying an expansion was taken to extreme with Star Wars Galaxies. They introduced the NGE and set everyone who was a full template back 10 levels and made it so the only way of getting XP was on a planet in the new expansion. They also downgraded the game's complexity, to a level that its really a generation of game behind what it used to be.

its not an advantage, its simply more choice if anything.

Ive used the f2000, its a grenade launcher for those 2foot kill at my feet shots, highly [bold]accurate[/bold] and powerful machine gun if u miss with the first nade, its also much better than a sniper rifle.

If that is not an advantage I dont know what is. It would probably make me buy the expansion but for the fact that I prefer the versatility of the AT/AA.

I may buy the expansion when it comes out in a compilation pack of expansions.
 
look, there are better guns on bf2 than SF and vice versa.
the main aim of SF being released was to expand the game into a larger picture just like the new packs will do.
people moaning about 'unfair' advantages either need to shut up and use different weapons when they play BF2 or go and buy the expansions like every else has done that wanted to. by getting to use the new guns in the original game is just a bonus like ive said before. saying its an unfair advantage is just lame tbqh.
how come when i use the F2000 i can still be killed with an engineer's shotgun?? ALL the guns have their good points and bad, get over it.

and why shouldnt people with the expansion get some benefits??

Contradiction going on here, benefits but the guns arent an advantage? ok....point is we shouldnt have to pay extra to be able to play the game we bought originally at the same level as everyone who paid extra for SF, SF should be seperate. If you cant see that then its obvious you enjoy having the advantage of SF over normal players.

Why should we just shut up and pay for the expansion? We already paid for the original game! We shouldnt be at a disadvantage (and more/better weapons choice is an advantage) just because we didnt buy an addon.
 
Did the 50 klicks server crash for anyone else tonight? I was trying to get my basic sniper, got 6 kills then my connection bombed out, and it was the only server that wouldnt work.
 
New Patch info;

- Mines can no longer be destroyed with other explosives
- Flash bang effect radius decreased
- Added unlocks for Sniper and AT kits
- Fixed a bug in terrain rendering with night vision, whereby terrain was still dark in dark areas.
