Cool Saw the trailer now if people really played like that it would be awsome.

[imported_goya]

the hype, the terrible hype. why don't they just fix bfv/bf2. it would be the best marketing that a company can do... no matter how much lipstick they put on it, it's still a pig... i can't wait to have to buy 2gb+ just to play this game...

[Jesse]

Hmm, seems the speculation that the video was the intro turned out to be correct. And hey, screenshots we've ALREADY SEEN BEFORE... Overhyped.

Everyone wants great graphics. Everyone wants big games. Everyone wants to do all of that with the ultimate in sound and effects all rolled up in a 64 player online game! Everyone wants to play this on a Bf42 computer! Comon folks, you have to buck up if you want all this stuff. You cant expect BF2 to run on an older computer with 512 of ram and eat your cake too!!!!!
SF looks awesome! can't wait. I for one have little problems with BF2. I would bet that 90 % of the problems lie with the owners computer. You guys are going to have to stop your crack addiction and get with the times here. You need to upgrade! Get a job and buy some new gear for you favorite hobby. You can justify it cause you always use it. Name one thing in your life you use more. We know its not your pecker! ahahaha Kidding. Long live BF!

The game is broke, admit it. I have 1.5GB of RAM, load the game fine, run the game fine. However, the errors from bad coding are simply not hardware errors, you can't cover them up.

[The Defeatest]

I never said the game was perfect Jesse! Camon I'm not dumb. But I would say that alot of folks are having hardware issues and blaming the game. You said your game runs fine! so whats your complaint. Also one might need more than a gig. I mean look at the game! Welcome to the age of fast coding because of time constraints, I would say get used to it. The game is NOT BROKE! You wouldnt be on here niether would I if it were. It has no more bugs than bf42, which I played from the wake island demo thank you very much. I know my stuff when it comes to BF. The game needs work for sure. But if it were broke you would'nt have a hundred 64 player servers full all the time man! meow:laugh:

[FordMustang]

actually mostof the errors in the game is server side. SF looks awsome, all the whiners need to get out more and realize the game isnt the most important thing ever and CALM DOWN. I for 1 will probably get SF.

[HowieMandel]

Hind. Apache. Tear Gas. Zip Lines. Tow Humvees. 4 Wheelers. Jet Skis. Grappling Hooks. Flash Bangs. New Maps. New Weapons. New Medals. New Rankings. Night Maps/Night Vision. New Armies. Plus, much more that i've forgotten about here, to mention........with that in mind.....

Yeah........this EX PACK is gonna suck......give me a break. Major Fun here. The naysayers and dont wanna buyers, well.....have fun. Special Forces is gonna be, well i think anyways, a helluva alot more popular than you think.

[HowieMandel]

Ooo and of course that video was an intro video. You didnt need a rocket science degree to get that from the first 2 seconds of seeing the video. Intros are always nicer. WHen ever i start BF2, im remiinded of that. However, the game still looks...... damn good. And Special Forces, will be no different.

[PBAsydney]

The only thing i bought BF2 for was to mod and play mods.

[blackfox]

i know this is gonna sound stupid but i cant be assed to look when exactley will this be released i know it in november :D :D :D :D

[Morris8911]

Your right about upgrading , and Ive learned to deal with the bugs .... heh the game is so much fun

F U Ea!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


Grow the hell up kid.

I saw the video and i think it was great even though it is a video. There are allot of things i thought that are in SF, which should have been in BF2. The buggies, ATV, boats, the features look really cool. I just wonder if we will be able to play these maps on either BF2 or SF. Iam impressed and i hope that their are less problems and isn’t put out half *** like that of BF2.

Will thier be DVD and CDROM Version? I havent seen anything other than DVD.

Some quick math tells us that its around a buck for every new thing in the xpansion. New maps, vehicles armies and new toys. Now How many times are you going to get your moneys worth for that buck????? Camon!!!!!!!!!!!
What do you really have to lose?

[imported_goya]

actually mostof the errors in the game is server side.

Are they? How could you say that? The biggest problem that I have with the game is that it fails to deliver. It does not include great music like BFV. The bullet trajectory is totally fake. They should make a bullet more real. They should have a scope that zooms in and out. That way you can really zoom in on your target. The vehicle tk problem is still a problem. You drive by slowly and you've somehow tked half your team. bf42 desert combat mod is more fun. The desert combat graphics are better. Some of their city maps where amazing. The maps are still too small. They need to create very large maps like bf2 included. Specially with jets. By the time you get up you have to turn a tight circle. The maps are larger than BFV, but not large enough. I still can't understand why they don't have clouds, weather and day and night cycles and why players can't swim underwater. They should take a look at JointOperations and GTA for inspiration and ideas on how to push the limit. I have amazing hardware I would like a game to use it. Also, desert combat had cloud cover you could fly through. They hard very large maps that were great for air combat. Personally I've gone back to playing BF42/FH/XWWII/DC. Their more fun and I can tweak them with the hardware I have to look, sound great and play great. Maybe DICE/EA should port BF42/BFV to BF2. They can give it to the Dice Canada and then sell it as an add on. That I would buy!

In the past Dice expansion packs have been a disappointment...

I realize that, i only hope it might be different this time.

[sushiyoshi]

Ill probally get it for the new map and vechicers.

So this exspansion is to add onto the current maps of BF2? I havent dealth with the Exspansion packs for BF. Any idea how many maps will be on this SF?

Titus

[Diablokruse]

I think your right also...You have about 2 years on a good computer and then its time to either upgrade or start over. I see this all the time w/ customer computers that come in for upgrading. They bought the top of the line a couple of years ago and now they are mad because it will not play every game at max settings. That is the way it is folks...you have to pay to play.

Ahhhhh but you see here lies the problem. The expacks wernt dissapointing. They were, in all actuallity......FuN! The dissapointing thing, was that EA really didnt pump you up enough to buy it. And lets be honest.....how many servers ran expacks for bf1942? Could count them on your hands.
No, i disagree, the expacks were cool, and fun. Its just EA didnt make the big push.
However with Special Forces......big push, more fun. I believe you'll see tons of servers with this expack running.
And i still say this...however i do not know for sure, but lets be real....
Servers will be able to run BF2 maps and SF seemlessly. So you might play 2 rounds of Kark.....then a few rounds of a SF map. Of course you'll need the expack or you'll get the ol' Version Mismatch Kick. ;)
Instead of comming up with an ANTI BUY campaign for Special Forces......
Hell right now im gonna start the official....

"BUY SPECIAL FORCES" Campaign.

I have actually bought all bf games and expacks. r2r was not that bad. i thought that the problem with sw was that some of the maps were too small and by the time you got the jets up in the air you had to make a tight turn. i hate flying ovals. i like large maps like el alamein or larger for their air dog fights. dc did a great job with this map.

yes the problem is that so little servers run the expacks maps.

the only way servers will run them is if they are required to run them as part of the ranked servers point and medal system. this would force more people to buy the mod.

[Acidrain]

I think the SF looks very good and i think that what they made out of SF is what they should have made BF2. Though perhaps they can made a good run with the SF and build on BF2 as well. It would seem that the past ones didnt work out that way though i think EA has gotten it right with this SF for BF2. Its got alittle of everything i think from what i have seen so far. I am very much looking forward to it.

[Silent Assasin]

This is all the stuff that was meant to be in BF2......That didn't get done in time, or that had too many bugs to go with the intial release of BF2. This is going to bring all the nay-sayers back to BF2

Can't wait
