Damn that carrier with the FOLDED F-18 wings, and racks of ordinance is saaaa-weet. I had my doubts about the expansion, but it's starting to look sick as hell!

This will include CTF finally and only cost $15US? Otherwise EA/DICE can go smoke some weed if they think I will be buying this. Pfffft....no thanks.

Any new gametypes would be fantastic, but it's highly unlikely.
It is looking good though, I just hope it's not full of bugs like BF2 was at release, and they've learnt from their mistakes....who am I kiddin'! :laugh:

F-18s on a LHD WTF??
Man....look at the size of that damn thing. ITS NOT AN LHD, its a full blown Aircraft Carrier. If you look at that shot, its long as, and it has more F-18s down the other end of it. Edit: Correction - they are not more F-18s, they are two F-35Bs
Thats no LHD.

What the hell are you guys smoking? Thats the exact same carrier (LHD) as the one in the game right now, its just got more static objects placed on it.

I understood there were not going to be any fighters or bombers. Only helicopters. Possibly this is the damaged carrier that I have read about will be in one map. Possibly just using it as a base.

its starting to look better. and will you only be able to go down with ziplines or can you pull yourself up at an upwards angle?

As far as I know its down with ziplines/up with grappling hooks. No kits will have both. But I could be wrong.

I'd laugh my arse off in one end of the carrier was one team and the other end was the opposing team... Seeing the 2 UAV's on that one carrier.:laugh:
Ship CoD anyone? :) It has been done...

What really would suck is if the F-18's are static...also, I think that the carrier in the screenshot is just work in progress, it doesn't look right

I believe the reason for to uavs, and all that on the carrier is because the MEC Special Forces have boarded the ship and taken over parts of it.....The F-18's have folded wings and are tied down...so they are most likely gonna be a static object. They might've also added more rooms and capartments to the ship to make it seem bigger.

OMFG a carrier with 3 or 4 new props in it, oh and a f18 that wings fold! I cant live without buying it, and I cant have fun either if I dont have it, I MUST BUY IT!
Edit: For those wondering if the F18s are static or not, I must dissapoint you all by looking at the shadow its casting, that is a static blob shadow, not projected... :(((((

I cant help but be excited and at the same time I remember who im dealing with. I think its like throwing "Dice" ya know. I think they call that game craps.
Anyway most of the BF2 stuff seems to be incomplete or work in progress. I hope this is different, guess we will see...Red

Why buy this when the mods will be soon released? :\

Im 100% sure those f18's are static objects. Meaning you cant use them.

Umm Hedgemus, you must not play the normal Battlefield 2, because if you cannot tell the difference between the LHD in BF2, and that Aircraft Carrier and the fact that the AC is quite a lot longer, then you need your eyes checked mate!
That image showing what you call a LHD is clearly longer than the LHD in the current game. Of course like everyone else has said, those F-18s are static and not usable, but the ship is clearly bigger than the LHD.

No good mod will be released soon.
Personally I'm back on the fence after seeing the images, I may still preorder this...

GOOD !!!! I'm VERY VERY glad those planes are static objects. BF2's AA vehicle and Stinger missiles are totally useless post patch 1.03. :mad: :mad:

I'm going to apologize in advance for the total noob question here, but will all the new stuff from the expansion be available on the currant maps? Or only on the new maps that come with it? Also, if it will only be on the new maps than why call it an expansion when essentially it will just be a stand alone game?
Ok, I'm going to ask this in a more active thred.
