Noice!

The 4th screenshot looks like the buggy is being piloted by the 'blue man group'.
That swampy/grassland map reminds me of Kursk/Bocage map from BF1942...

[RandysWay]

Gee, sure looks like their total focus is NOT on infantry, but vehicles from the way the screenshots look.

Haha, that's what I thought! :laugh:

[I-Kodiak-I]

:cry: this expasion pack looks sooo cool, those are awesome graphics, I'm gonna buy BF2:SF for sure, but they should fix BF2 first

[Comrade Nu]

Those "awesome" graphics are obviously enhanced by our little friend Photoshop.

You think so? I'm not sure... :eek:

[DrunkenPirate]

I honestly wouldn't be surprised.

[Seal]

Looks like you can take a regular vehicle and drive it. Conclusion from the second screenshot.

[FURRY BIRD]

Where's the Apachie or the A-10? You have to have those.

[Robmysters]

Nice, the hind looks great

[WolfeR]

I just had an eyegasm.

hmm... I wonder where I have seen THAT pick up before. Oh! It was removed from the first game! :rolleyes:

[Requiem]

Doesn't seem all too special imho. If additional game modes are added I might give it a try.

[CommanderD]

They look good but touched up.

[Hannez]

That Hind looks great! But i think those screenies should be regular, not photoshopped.

[Dr-X]

Photoshopped? These are clearly not photoshopped, but complete CGI images. They really shouldnt release this crap as screenshots.

[B=E=N=C=H]

BF2 needs more expansion. I would like to see mini games inside BF2 like a ranked target shooting or piloting/driving time trials :)

[^Garf*uk*]

looks great:D


can someone translate that german article please:confused:

[King_Nothing]

If the bottom right is supposed to be SAS, then they look ****e.

[Coderedpl]

those screens are AWESOME!

[Dr.D]

So sexy. I hope I hope there will be a helo wars server, you know mod with apaches all over the main bases, ala a few DC servers.

[Dethshoot1]

It looks great but for me it wont cause my graphics card sucks.

[DeathGiver]

EA must love our money so much they want us to buy this game. I for one wont since they didnt do very good with BF2.

[machstem]

Mmmm...HIND..

They have not posted a picture of my friend, the AH-64...mmmm, my fav helo of all time. It may not be as versatile as the Comanche or AH-1W or AH-1Z, but it's a damn powerful helo. Can anyone say "Thunderstrike"!!!! and running out of hellfire missiles!!

PEACE

[Hoov]

In other news, the 1.03 patch doesn't exist.

[Requiem]

They look like normal in-game shots to me, the only change made was a cheap contrast in PS. No CGI here.

[Coderedpl]

In other news, the 1.03 patch doesn't exist.

the 1.1 does though

[PhoeniX_0]

WOHOO a MI-24 !?!?!?!? My dream is come true !!!!

[DoubleVee]

If the bottom right is supposed to be SAS, then they look ****e.

yeah. they sure look crappy/weird

One thing that I hate about this expansion pack, is that most of the stuff is from the original BF2 that was left out, pickup truck....terrorist looking skins...stuff like that

[Hedgemus]

I don't know how the guys saying these screenshots/renders whatever they are look good. To me they look faded and washed out. The lighting doesn't look natural at all, these images look worse than what you seen on BF2 right now. I think you guys are gonna get ripped off if you buy this expansion, but hey its your money.

Someone mentioned them not showing a pic of the apache yet, but Ive seen a render of it somewhere, it was in one of the earlier preview/interviews for the expansion.

Really? If you find it, can you post it? Man...I seen one in action before, not in a firefight or anything, bu that damn thing could maneuver and spin on a dime, very impressive!

[UnrealAlex]

I like how it looks. Im looking forward to driving that white Truck and running people over with it :)

[C11.Nemisis]

this screen screams special forces terrorist to me. look at the guy on the zip line

[DrunkenPirate]

Not to be a fanboy, but I think the skin on DC's hind was better. : /

I believe Penny Arcade explained this sort of thing only a few issues ago.

I don't believe one bit of these. Just as the BF2 screenies weren't a darn thing like the actual thing, neither will these. And the Mi-24? What is "special forces" about that thing? I assure you, if it's in the area, you'll know it. Even moreso with the AH-64 they said they were adding? Yeah they did some rather secret missions in Iraq, but seriously. If this expansion is about the "infantry" and all these cool features they get and their supportive vehicles like buggies and trucks, why are we adding these massive tank-shredding contraptions to an expansion that is supposed to have infantry flying around on ziplines and blinding people by shooting their rifle in front of someone using night vision? A bit overkill for some guys in a pickup dontcha think?

[DrunkenPirate]

lol <3 pennyarcade, and I agree with thatarticle 100%.

[UnrealAlex]

Yes. I agree. Lets not get our hopes up.

[machstem]

To me, it's all about the helos. I'd be glad to tear through infantry in one. ;)

Without helicopters, I don't get the same rush while playing on the ground.

I agree that the skin on DC's hind was damn sweet, as I also think the AH-1Z(or 1W, can't remember) was even nicer, with the bald eagle decal. (or was that POE for BF V)

PEACE

[tf0t]

you are all on crack, these screenshots dont look that good.

looks to me like they changed the contrast and such on actual in-game footage...

[DoubleD]

My normal BF2 screenshots are better than those, so I highly doubt those are fake.

[(BG)Patton]

comon, whre is the apache? the only thing i see as crap for the expansion is that the chinese, MEC and russia will have alot of the same guns

[TITAN126]

Anyone know when this is getting released?

[David Champion]

If they are PS'd how can you tell? Cuz' I can't, if anything they brightened them up and added some contrast for being dark pics... But everyone said BF2screenshots were PS'd too and they weren't :laugh: .

Anyways they look cool can't wait

Navy Seals, ATV's and Chinooks! Oh my! :D

Can't see this game without Littlebirds though, we already know apaches are in... Proly' won't add Jets being it's more focused on SpecOps and Infantry.

[Spookie]

Doesn't look like there is much new "exciting" content :/

[antoine]

Great Stuff.

[WAAASSSUUUPP]

Looks pretty sweet, but I have to upgrade my computer first =/ Still no normal BF2 online for me.

[Hedgemus]

Heres the link to the Apache render from the preview on IGN.

I read that there will be 2 enemy factions in the expansion, one being a Russian Rebel type and the other being a MEC rebel type. The good guys will be the US Navy SEALs, British SAS, Russian Spetsnaz and some sort of MEC special forces unit.

[big_sammy_b]

Those "awesome" graphics are obviously enhanced by our little friend Photoshop.

Yep i'd agree with that theres no way those are genuine PC in game screenshots.

[screamingBuddha]

think any of those vehicles will kill you instantly if they drive past at 2 miles per hour?

"It's not a patch, it's an expansion! Now pay me."

[screamingBuddha]

see "bullshot"
