Buy Euro Force!

[CamperJoe]

Just fkin buy it already.

( sorry for caps )

[i made you]

I'm buying it for the Famas.

[PhoeniX_0]

I'm not gonna buy it =P

[big_sammy_b]

i don't think i'll buy it either consdiering i bought SF and although i like the new guns thats it, i never actually play it so why should i play the new 'expansion' ?

[Bob_the_Insane]

I am buying for the new maps and other content...

[vbl]

i don't think i'll buy it either consdiering i bought SF and although i like the new guns thats it, i never actually play it so why should i play the new 'expansion' ?

Because SF was an overpriced, gimmicky piece of crap that had no integration with regular BF2. At least with EF you can stay on the same server when they rotate an EF map into their cycle.

[Talus]

...and you're sure about that?

No, really..I'm asking.

[{wxc}panda]

buy it and make DICE put more effort into making new maps and charge for them instead of fixing current bugs

[Revoluti0n]

buy it and make DICE put more effort into making new maps and charge for them instead of fixing current bugs

Right, I'd rather spend that money on a couple beers on Friday night.
Do you people realize that the current game is messed up and you are going to pay to have the game expand in the same broken direction? Who knows what kind of new problems will be associated with this new booster. I'll take a dump in a box and mark it "booster" and sell it to you all if you want.

[Lazy8s]

When they can learn to code well enough to support 64 players I might buy it.

[pYura]

I would buy it IF I could get it in a shop in a CD with decent handbook and if there was any guarantee that ppl will play it not only one the first month like SF...

[Talus]

I have purchased every Battlefield game/expansion so far on release day...not this one.

This is where I draw the line.

[Smagma]

What Talus said!

[]UK-C[ Mindzai]

When they can learn to code well enough to support 64 players I might buy it.

Which raises another question, if you're on a 64 player server do 32 people get kicked or do you have to just carry on with a packed-out out 32 player map? I think it's bloody cheeky that they aren't even bothering to make 64 player variants yet charging £10 for a virtual file that I cant even own a hard copy of.

However I will (grudgingly) buy it just to avoid getting kicked every time one of the maps comes round in the rotation.:laugh:

[i made you]

I'm buying for the Famas and new bugs. Soon a whole new type of glitch bug gameplay will be invented. They're pioneers so give them some money.

[MMad]

I'm buying for the Famas...

You won't get to use the Euro Force guns in vanilla BF2, do you?

I might buy it, depending on reviews. New maps = good. :)
On the other hand.. 1.2 so far has been very dissapointing. Gameplay-wise it seems to be an improvement, but it's seems ridden with odd bugs.. So I'm not very sure I'll bother playing vBF2 very much longer.

[imported_RpTheHotrod]

I didn't get SF, but I'll probably get this one...since it's cheaper.

[i made you]

If there was any other decent FPS coming out within a month, I wouldn't bother with it. I'm still going to wait a couple days after it comes out to make sure it's worth more than a new Panaflo.

[HicRic]

I pre-ordered SF and was totally disappointed. An expansion only in the sense that it added new bugs...and don't get me started on the lowered performance.

Now euro force isn't even going to support 64 players, one of the main selling points of BF2? So I guess that means performance it taking yet another hit.

Not buying it unless I hear a lack of bugs and praise for the new maps. Oh, and fix the existing bugs already. Geez.

Battlefield 2 is at the same time the best and worst game I have. :p It's great fun and very enjoyable which are the only reasons I and many others put up with the bugs. ;) But the even lower performance in SF, despite the utterly appalling graphics I get to see (everything low/off...) was the straw that broke this camel's back.

"Wait and see" will be my policy.

[Widkidone]

i wish they would create hard copies of the Booster Packs. What happens for those that do not have a credit card? What about those that have only cash?

[flanker-f]

I wish Benelli M4 could be an unlockable weapon. And Famas too of course. Here are some quick screens from singlepayer.

http://putfile.com/flankerf

And i'm going to buy Euro Forces. I don't mind spending another 10€ for a game i play hundreds of hours a year.

[J3p]

i wish they would create hard copies of the Booster Packs. What happens for those that do not have a credit card? What about those that have only cash?


Creating hard copies would mean extra money wasted! EA will not tolerate such a dangerous act! They shall release their second rate "boosters" at minimal loss!

[imported_GamerArm]

I'll buy it just for new maps alone.

But why is it 90% of people that play games seems to think that every game company consists of one group of people that focus on one thing at a time?

[the_waffler]

No, it will still support 64-player servers, the maps will just be downsized to fit 32 people....so there will be less tanks/apcs/etc to go around between the 64 players.

[-={DAC}MI7]

can you use the Euroforce guns in Vanilla BF2 ?

[i made you]

can you use the Euroforce guns in Vanilla BF2 ?
That will determine if I buy it or not.

[poisonsoul]

Feed The Machine :salute:

[Ashdown]

can you use the Euroforce guns in Vanilla BF2 ?

Only the 2 new guns that came with the 1.2 patch.

[Sir. {RF}TFS]

Now if none of us buy it in protest over the quality of the patches they produce , would they sit up and take note ??

[sturmvogel]

Oh my god, it's only TEN DOLLARS. TEN. If 10 bucks is breaking the bank, well then..

[BIC]

Now if none of us buy it in protest over the quality of the patches they produce , would they sit up and take note ??


Don't worry, Euro Force will sell very well. They don't even have to wrap it in a box and burn CDs: they are looking for a MEGA profit on that.

[[RS]LSO|Maj.Colinloves]

No 64 player, then NO WAY. I like 64 player servers. I was happy they they were gonna add it to normal BF2 map rotation, but if its no 64 player, then wots the point? crap.

Get a new army and then only play 3 maps

[ghaib]

fix the bugs b4 charging 10$ for a FEW FU*KING MAPS!

[Sweetmate]

I wont be buying it, if DICE are going to make 3 maps, and cant be arsed to make them support 64 players, yet still expect me to pay them for it they must be insane.

Make a real booster pack, 4 or 5 really good BF2 maps that support 64 player just like the normal game does and will tear the bf2 players away from karkand and sharqi and have some real worthwhile extra content and sell it to me for 6 quid and I'll be glad to pay you. But try and sell me 3 measly maps that cant even offer what the normal game can and with 2 new tanks which will be exactly the same as all the other tanks, a new chopper and helo that will be exactly the same as the current ones and thanks to 1.2 wont even be worth getting into anyway and a bunch of weapons that will sound and look different to the current ones but are effectively the same and I will tell you where to stick it.

Now armoured fury, with its new classes of vehicles such as A-10, and recon helos sounds like it could offer something new (ie what the mods want to bring to BF2). But again youve missed the opportunity to add something new such as another gamemode, and all the other things the community ask for (all those things AJ Marini says "We have absolutely no plans for that" to in every interview!) because if the AR maps are 32 player only aswell, you've only made a huge step backwards. What on earth is the point?

Seems to me like the people at DICE who can actually get things done have moved on to "Stella" (where the next source of major revenue lays). And SF, EF, AR and the dire patch quality assurance and testing are being dealt with by DICE Canada? Does that sound about right?

[shiremct]

No, it will still support 64-player servers, the maps will just be downsized to fit 32 people....so there will be less tanks/apcs/etc to go around between the 64 players.


I hope they at least have the sense to adjust the spawns accordingly knowing full well these 32 player maps will regularily be supporting 64 players at a time...

You know, if only they could bring back in the team that originally made the game in the first place to make an expansion or thourough patch... I bet a lot of problems would be solved.

Chance of happening... 0%

[topdogger]

Do what most should be doing and take a stand for the community. Don't pay for it. Not saying you shouldn't get it just don't pay for it unless you going to wait and buy some n00bs used copy off ebay.

Like I posted in another thread here. BF2 was the first game by EA that I have bought in over 3 years. I technically didn't even buy it. It was a gift from my boss for working extra for him when people didn't show up at christmas time.

[govedob]

I'll buy it if they update my stats, I'm 700 points short since yesterday. If they scrw me over, I'll quit playing completely.

[WAAASSSUUUPP]

Didn't get SF, won't get this. Will get ET:QW, but still play BF2.

[Splinter]

Oh my god, it's only TEN DOLLARS. TEN. If 10 bucks is breaking the bank, well then..


its not the money I have a problem with it's the fact that it SHOULD be free (remember Wake), if we all continue to buy this crap EA will keep pumping them out and make you buy them if you want to play Bf2 online. I will bet a large sum of money that for the next Bf game you will have to pay for patches. (maybe even this game as well)

[Wreck0]

32-player maps? Jebus, I was considering it, but that's just senseless.

[CamperJoe]

I don't get some of you people, youre worser off if you don't buy it now aint you? its just 10 bucks, nothing compared to SF wich was expensive like ****, really people all this whining aint helping, atleast theres a whole new team, ah comon, if you don't buy it you are ruining it for the people that DO buy it, they will have less players to play with wich would be sucking... CMON PEOPLE 10 BUCKS FOR 3 l33tmaps and 1 whole new team! whats the ****ing problem?

32-player maps? Jebus, I was considering it, but that's just senseless.

Only 1 map is 32 player supported, the other 2 are 64 supported as i have heard.

If everyone buys it, it just shows EA that they can churn out a few maps and it'll sell like hot cakes... therefore, they'll carry on doing it.


These things should be FREE.

[LBC|Jester]

You people bitching about the maps not being 64 players need to get your head out of your asses because there are lots of servers out there that play maps with 64 people that are no official 64 player maps. 32 player maps can handle 64 players easily, there are just less points to capture and I personally like it that way because it makes the gameplay better! People are less spread out!

[FlyingEgg]

Definately not going to get it. Let's look at what you get.

- 3 new maps intended for 32 players, which will end up with 64 crammed in there.

- One new team. Basically, these means 6 new guns, all of which are basically identical to the existing ones, albiet cosmetically.

- New vehicles, which function the exact same way as those existing.

That's it. And they're charging money for it.

Now, for the punch line...

http://img211.imageshack.us/img211/8223/rtr9aa.jpg (http://imageshack.us)

Who remembers this little gem? I'm sure you do. I'm also sure you remember a massive lack of players, servers, content, etc..

Point made, yes?

Take a stand for the community's sake. Make them learn that they can't feed the community drivel like this. There are bugs unfixed and ignored in the initial releases, and now they're trying to make us pay for the same amount of content that a modding team could (and undoubtedly have done) create with ease.

DO NOT BUY EURO FORCE.

[Flares]

32 player maps can handle 64 players easily, there are just less points to capture and I personally like it that way because it makes the gameplay better! People are less spread out!
$10 is a pittance so I'll be buying it... I just hope there are some UK 32 maps with 64 player slots... That's war! ;)

[DeathDealer68NZL]

I'll wait to see how everyone who buys and plays it will rate it. If they like it I'll buy it but if they say it sucks then I won't

P.S. I still can't get my microphone to work after all these months and patch's

:hmm: :confused:

[TriggerHappy2005]

I wonder how many of the people who say they're going to buy it actually work for Dice or EA and are just trying to drum up support.

[CamperJoe]

You just suck, please exit this earth, iam going to buy it becouse i want it, if you dont buy it you fail PERIOD!

[Angelsoul]

Wouldn't surprice me that EA release both booster packs as hardcopies in a couple of months or so :rolleyes: :laugh:

I can't download it. I have no credit card. I will buy it if I can buy it as a DVD-Rom.

Tried the singleplayer mod, fallen in love with the HK21 :cry:

[=PM=Unity]

Will get ET:QW


There it is. The holy grail of FPS goodness. Soon my pretty!



To Angelsoul: I heard a good suggestion for the no credit card issue. You can go to the bank and get one of the VISA gift cards which work just fine on line as far as I know. Check with the bank but that's an easy way to do it without the hassle of a real credit or debit card.

[jdrou]

I would probably get it for the new guns if they were unlocks for vanilla (HK53 and Benelli semi-auto shotgun are nice) but not just so I can use them on 3 new maps. Since the guns are in the patch already I'll just use them in modded SP until more EU maps come out. I have better things to spend the $10 on.

[Revoluti0n]

I think that SF was a good effort. It had and still has great potential. It introduced the night maps and eliminated the air power. I think it was more pleasing the the ground pounding audience. My only desire for this line of games in general is for EA to work on 1 project at a time. Show their customers that they are not just after your money by providing some quality/bug free games.

$10 is a pittance so I'll be buying it... I just hope there are some UK 32 maps with 64 player slots... That's war! ;)

Yes it is, but $10 from 100,000 gamers is a fortune.

EA's motto should be changed
from "It's in the Game" to
"It's in the code"

[Shask]

Nah, not buying it, its basically a mod and whats different to this mod than other freeware mods?
Oh and Battlefield 2 sucks after 1.2.

You can see EA had a great financial plan going on there:-
o Release a patch that ruins the game for most people
o Release an expansion pack, so that everyone can have fun!

[« R²» P§I]

I'll take a dump in a box and mark it "booster" and sell it to you all if you want.

thats awesome, going in my sig, cause you are 100% right lmao.

Allready got $70 into game that we beta test. Awesome isnt it

[rsgx]

I'm not European, so I really dont care for this expansion as much as the SF expansion. But I'm definitely gonna buy Armored Fury, I can't wait to try out the A-10 and the maps in the US.

[imported_mn9500]

im gonna buy it, its only 10 bucks.

[jdrou]

im gonna buy it, its only 10 bucks.
Donate it to a mod team instead. It's probably a better return on your investment. Help BG2/FH2/DCon/PoE/EoD/AI/etc. come out faster.

[TriggerHappy2005]

You just suck, please exit this earth, iam going to buy it becouse i want it, if you dont buy it you fail PERIOD!

ROFL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!:laugh: :laugh: :laugh:

[CamperJoe]

Look, i hate to sound wierd but if many people don't buy it it can be **** to the ones who buy it, think of it that way, atleast its some content and we dont have to wait 4 - 8 month for it, cmon people. :cry:

[slosh]

I'm gonna buy it. I hope I like EF better than SF because I think SF just sucks. I have definitely got my moneys worth out of vanilla BF2 thus far. I look at it like hey the booster packs are only $10 and its not like I have to pay a mothly fee to play on a server. I do agree that I think this content should be free but thats what mods like PoE, PRM and FH2 are for. I'm sure once those mods come out I wont even think about vanilla bf2 anymore.

I do have to agree though, this is the buggiest game ever. Its funny how they "fix" one thing and then something else is screwed up.

[Mosstrooper]

can you use the Euroforce guns in Vanilla BF2 ?
No. Those guns are going to be the standards weapons for the European Union, sort of liek how the AK-101 is standard for the MEC and you can't use it for the USMC. I'm gonna get Euro Force though, i love BF2...I just need to wait till they fix the bug in 1.2 that made the game unplayable for me :(.

[Wild_Wokman]

If they were adding some cool weapons or features that would be worth it like the grappling hook in SF or maybe bouncing betties for the engineers....maybe, but not for a tank a a few maps. I can just go to a mod for that for $$00.00.

[CamperJoe]

Its an whole new team with new weapons sounds and vehicles.

[Princess_Frosty]

Wont be buying anything more from EA at ALL until they fix ALL the current bugs in BF2 and SF.

They need to prove to me that they're competent in supporting their origional products before I buy more, simple as that.

yer im not sure myself if i should i bought sf and although i like the weapons i never play it im always on the main bf maps

[CamperJoe]

yer im not sure myself if i should i bought sf and although i like the weapons i never play it im always on the main bf maps

This is diffrent, its 20 $ cheaper and it adds additional content into the vanilla battlefield game.

[Piddy]

Nope. I won't be buying this or any other expansions until they make a proper effort to fix all bugs in Vanilla BF2.

I am also against their marketing tactics of making the gameplay for Vanilla BF2 players less enjoyable without the expansions.

[vulcan]

EA can kiss my furry butt on this one. How many more bugs will they introduce into the game with this release ?

[Wildcard124]

if i end up joining a clan maybe i will or if people think its the best thing since slice bread then yea but its prob not got anything new to offer.
and we auto get weapons any how

[Jesse]

Please tell me the guerilla marketers and their people they hire to post on forums aren't starting to emerge on Total Bf2.

what is that a dig at something i said ? if so come out and say it

[HicRic]

Perhaps Euro Force will add a bug that allows choppers/planes to sometimes pump out endless flares-or maybe a bug that makes weapon sounds sometimes not play, so you don't know when you're being shot! Or perhaps AT rockets sometimes won't fire, and at other times fly straight through vehicles!

Oh wait, that was patch 1.2 wasn't it? :p

How making AA missiles work better and preventing jumpshooting caused them to break so much other stuff I'll never know.

[Hedgemus]

It's too bad they are only charging $10 for the booster pack. From the replys it sounds like you guys would be willing to pay more for such little content, that they should have included in the patch for free.

Oh wonderful a new army. Guess which side most people are going to want to play, the European Union because they get all the new toys. What about the MEC or China don't they get any new cool stuff.........hell no.

[Dangerdog]

Welcome to the future, why put out a finished final product when you can just serve up tiny chunks at a time, Valve is going to do this with their HL2 add-on, and then there’s SIN and its “episodes”.

I do believe that they said they would box up the booster packs after both were completed but I bet it will be for some “gold edition” of BF2.

So far they’ve done a bang up job tricking players into buying the BF2:SF expansion (oh you want these new weapons do you?), I wonder what they’ll do for these booster packs? Maybe force all ranked servers to put them in rotation, that would be fitting for their clever marketing trend.

We’ll end up buying it because right now BF2 is the only worth while FPS out, bugs and all, if your favorite server puts them in rotation you’ll cave in too

[HowieMandel]

yeah.........give us the boosters, and move on to the next game.


After buying Special Forces.......which was overpriced... im not buying them. Ok, I MIGHT buy the armored fury one. But the euro one....nah. Im about Euro'd out.

[HowieMandel]

Actually I think its the registered ranking idea, that is selling booster packs and expansions. I mean..... if ranking was good to go for modded servers, (which would suck really) then everyone would be playing the new mods when they hit, IE: Desert Conflict, and the others. Free Content. And probally.......Better conduct

[Jesse]

what is that a dig at something i said ? if so come out and say itIf I wanted 'dig' at something you said, I would quote you. Did you read the first post of the thread?

[Piddy]

Welcome to the future, why put out a finished final product when you can just serve up tiny chunks at a time, Valve is going to do this with their HL2 add-on, and then there’s SIN and its “episodes”.

I wouldn't put Valve in the same category as EA.

Yes Valve do plan to sell add-ons (if you want to call it that - I actually see it as a small game that uses the same HL2 characters) over Steam, however they do not apply pressure on HL2 owners to purchase the game beyond by having the new content affect their current HL2 game. Vanilla BF2 players on the other hand are affected by new BF2 add-ons even if they don't want to play them.

Valve have also made available a lot of free content since the HL2 release. Also HL2 took more than a year to come out after its famous 30 Sep release date simply to fix as many of the bugs as possible. IMO they did a pretty good job. EA, on the other hand haven't even fixed the simple Red-Friendly bug after so many patches, yet they continue to ask for our money.

This "support" is not going to be part of my future.

[rombaft]

I am buying it for the extra maps and stuff, seems nice, and who cares for 10$
