who will buy Euro Forces now?

[reichertc2005]

(BY cemmyz)With Euro Force only available through EA and thus not incurring p&p costs or middleman costs will EA kindly be passing on the savings to us?

Just read about how SF cost the same as in the shops which smacks of profiteering!

Probably just being sceptical but dont trust download only games, much prefer having a hard copy.

after all of this and the patch problems who will even buy this when it becomes avalible?

[rombaft]

I will,

somebody has to test it for real anyway , lol .

also, it's 10$ , who cares, I like new maps and stuff

about the hard copy, I do like it more, but for 10$ you only buy a ten year old movie on DVD .

Also, a dowload is actualy safer then a hard copy , you can always redownload and not have to pay again ,
for example my original BF1942 CD , was in PC , PC did some strange stuff, and couldn't reach some cables, so I wanted to pull the front panel of the PC (offcourse while pc was on) CD station panel came along , pushed the turning CD against something, and the whole CD is now unusable, so if I want to play 1942 again , I would have to buy it again , but If I had downloaded it, I could just redownload

[BRUTALITEEEEEEEEE]

Agreed :cool:

[Eternal-Souljah]

Im hoping they release 1.21 patch before Euroforce, and like I still think that the patch is kinda messed up in a way I liked the patch before, even though there was bunny hoping and dolphing diving etc you had more control over your soldier and had better ways to get out of bad situations.

[Jesse]

I'm not paying to be a €uro Forces beta tester.

Mods ftw!

very very much agreed, i hate the lag time to go from laying down to standing up.

You see when your prone (laying down) and you come up again it looks like your running but your not, thats a cheap look if you ask me.

[PermenentMarker]

I wont buy it...

I just redid my post because I was bashing people I consider idiots for a reason I will not get into and bashing EA...

I will just say

I play this game 3 or 4 hours a week
and I just Laugh at EA every single time I see a bug...
I laugh... because its so sad that its funny.

(I will laugh even more once they get eaten alive by Valve, epic and so on...)

Emm... even after redoing my post... I am still bashing EA...
O well
OUPS

[HowieMandel]

I'd rather skip the euro booster and get right to the nitty gritty and get the Armored Fury Booster pack. A-10, Apache, American homeland maps.
Bring it... Euro...seen it in so many games, i could care.

No offence, but Valves software terrible, im talking about their Steam program not the games, the games are good, but Steam is junk and causes more problems than any program I have ever had, and not just simple problems, im talking about deep complicated problems, and problems that Valve have no idea on what it is.

[WTurbiasz]

For $10 Ill buy it why not. It cant be more buggy then what we have already and if it stinks its only $10 own the drain. No big deal.

is this a whole new game or is it a patch like Euro forces.because this sounds pretty cool.and when is it avalible?

[Alcorr]

I am ONLY buying it because it is so cheap.

Otherwise I wouldn't get it...

YES YOU ARE SO RIGHT, GUYS LETS ALL STOP PLAYING BF2! CUZ HES SO SAD.

[pYura]

Today I wanted to play SF and there was 66 servers, invanillathere was more than 1000... in my browser... it means you willbe able to play EF a week or two... and soon all servers will disappear, so if you want to betatest and play singleplayer only, well go on...

[Alcorr]

Valve makes great software....

HL2 got the highest ratings in so many gaming categories ever in history.

Well other than HL1

[Jake]

Was never interested, and still am not interested in them.

[cheesewz]

Today I wanted to play SF and there was 66 servers, invanillathere was more than 1000... in my browser...

I've noticed that lately. Wonder if it is related to the cost of the expansion or the crap performance that people talk about (which I don't experience)? Kind of a bummer because I really like SF. For 10 bucks a pop I'll buy both of the booster packs. I spend more than that a week on Starbucks, why not drop it on extra BF stuff?

[PermenentMarker]

YES YOU ARE SO RIGHT, GUYS LETS ALL STOP PLAYING BF2! CUZ HES SO SAD.
Please tell me where I said that people should stop playing battlefield2 !

I even said it myself, I play the game a good couple of hours a week so I seriously dont see where you got that impression...

Oww ya, it might just be because your one of them fools that will accept all the problems with the game and think... oww its ok, I will just keep on giving them my support, ill even buy new hardware to run it better...

Its because of ignorent people like you that EA does not even care about cleaning up their act.

I respect those tho will say why not... its just 10$
I agree, 10$ isnt much, however, I dont play the game enough to consider the 10$ worth it...

[PermenentMarker]

I disliked steam when they originally came out, and they had all kinds of problems...
used to call it Skynet

However, with good time, I think steam has proven themselves wonderful.
Game updates, steam updates once or twice a month...
No need for patches, no need for anything really... just install steam and everything comes with it.

I am shocked to hear that you are having problems considering the computer you have in order to run bf2...
Unless your just talking about the first impression you got when IT JUST CAME OUT.

I have not seen a problem with steam maybe 4 months after they came out... besides that, its normal for New software to have issues when they originally come out... what is sad is when problematic software never gets fixed... (cough cough red nametag bug and so much more LOL)

[N2K]

Most are little kids with no credit card, and thier parents wont just hand it out to thier kids

[CamperJoe]

You double posted, and now i posted spam.. * GASP GASP *

[reichertc2005]

maby they should lower the price a bit beacuse of the problems and the postponements.

[subzero nautica]

I am going to wait on Euroforce.

Only because the 1.2 rev gave me two new original BF2 weapons. So i am having fun with those changes.

Moving to Euroforce now would result in me not enjoying the 1.2 changes.

So i will probably wait a few weeks. Perhaps Euroforce will be out by then anyway.

[subzero nautica]

I think rev 1.2 changed the game enough to make playing orginal BF2 and Special Forces more fun.

New strategies, new tactics, a few new weapons, etc.

I am really enjoying rev 1.2!!!!!

So personally, i would like to see euroforce postponed until late April, which gives me enough time to enjoy rev 1.2 and the next rev 1.21

[mjt2289]

I'll get it just cause

[subzero nautica]

Besides you got to admit.

BF2 is fun!

Special Forces is fun!

Rev 1.2 changed them both around a little, creating renewed fun!

Special Forces only came out in November. Its been just 4 months and with rev 1.2 and rev 1.21 coming out, its too soon to upgrade to a new game.

You need a good 6 months between game upgrades. Otherwise you go broke and dont get enough useage out of your purchase.

Eventually you gonna hit a rock where no new game updates are planned. People will be so used to frequent updates that the game will no longer be fun.

[BoozeMonkey]

Yes the game does have its bugs. But ive played no other game in my life were i've been hiding from tanks, soldiers and choppers all at once, and to boot the graphics are stunning. i love vbf2, i love bf2(sf) and who knows going on the previous track record. i think ill love the next two packs out.
Yes it is frustrating when your game crashes to the desktop, yadda yadda but
its still fun for me...my two cents

[Jesse]

Of course, the same thing happened with BF1942 and it's expansion packs, so I can't say I'm surprised.

[imported_DaDDeh]

Euro Forces will be running on Vinilla BF2 servers, its is ment to update BF2, it is not a seperate game as some of you think, BF2SF uses with high enough rank get 2 new weapons (New Sniper and P90) without buying EF, hell im already using them in vinillia BF2.

As for the cost £5.99, $9.99 well i'll be getting it as long as I can find someone to let me use there CC, as I have never owned one and aint about to just for a £5.99 upgrade. :)

[Teaves]

Its only 10 bucks i will buy it even if it aint that good.... i spend that a day on coffee for christ sake and some of that tastes pretty crap :rolleyes:

Oh and will people stop comparing EA (A PUBLISHER!) with Valve (A DEVELOPER!) by your own reasoning EA is just as responsable for HL2 then it is for BF2 seeing as EA games publishes BOTH OF THEM!

Peoples credibilty goes right out the window as soon as it becomes obvious they dont even understand the differences between these 2 totally different roles... then again EA bashing is the new Microsoft Bashing i suppose.... kids will be kids :rolleyes:

Also EF unlocks will not be useable in Vannila AND EF runs together with vannila to add levels, so theres another two or three pointless and ill-informed posts shot to pieces :laugh:

[Palerider]

Me! :D

I enjoy playing this game... though my wife is less than impressed with the amount of time I spend on it...:rolleyes:

[reichertc2005]

what if someone can create a level that is almost like euro forces

[mattmurphee]

ill buy it cuz im bored.Anyway, im just playin this game a few hours a week. And extra unlocks are always cool to play in vanilla....

oh and Teaves:

hahaha lol Good one!

[starkill3r]

I will buy it after I hit 20k :)

[dnoe91]

I played with the new guns from the booster pack the other day. I love almost all of them. I will buy it.

[Cicchetti]

I will buy it still i guess even though i am ****ed off it got delayed 2 times now

[FlyingEgg]

I can't believe all the people who are willing to throw money away for the sake of a reskinned army, four guns, carbon copies of their predecessors, three 32 player maps and cosmetically different vehicles.

Regardless of the fact that it's ten bucks... you can get ten times the amount of content for free from any number of mods out there. The difference is that EA have been hitting us with a popup every time we've logged into our accounts for the last three months.

Euro Force will be dead and buried within a month or two of it's release anyway. In the meantime, they'll be doing there best to force us to buy it (eg. integrating it into Vanilla)

As nice as a few scraps of content would be.. it's just got too much going against it.

[loonsluv]

$10 is nothing. I will plop down the money. I'm always up for new maps. Hope there are more ground based infantry maps though.

They have mods by the balls with their ranked server system. I regularly play the N.A.W mod but you don't get too many as people want to see the benefit of comitting hours to Battlefield in their points tally and rewards system and who can blame them?

[warfryx]

$10 lol i spend much more than that on ....uhm.....shall we say "recreational street vitamins";) ;) .... evry time i visit the friendly neighborhood "street pharmacist":D

[Morg]

The 5 euro are just an acceptable price and I will satisfy my curiousity. I am interested in the new maps, especially the Great Wall. But I don't expect too much from it, any mod will be better...

I haven't gotten SF yet because I think it's overpriced - and I won't.

[FlyingEgg]

True, true... points for Euroforce for including stats and rankings.

Now, all we need to do is advertise a mod, and give it rankings.. hmm.... *strokes chin deviously*

[Chickenhawk]

$10 lol i spend much more than that on ....uhm.....shall we say "recreational street vitamins";) ;) .... evry time i visit the friendly neighborhood "street pharmacist":D


Wow you do drugs, gosh your sooo cool and funny too.

[triumph]

I only paid 10USD for SF, i'm not going to spend 10USD on 1/3rd the amount of playible content. I wasn't impressed by SF at all besides some of the mapping and new gun models/skins don't phase me and most of them should basicaly be the same so their is just not enough content for that price and who knows? Maybe the maps won't even be that great.

[thehed]

It's out now, but only for Germans and only playable in singleplayer and Lan (online 7 or 9 next month).
Screenshots:

[Chickenhawk]

Wow that looks very dissapointing and sh*t. Hope it plays a lot better than it looks.

I'll still be buying it but I won't hold out much hope.

[ACE4U]

I am in. After watching the teaser, I am more sold than before. A new army, maps and weapons.......Bring it.

[Revoluti0n]

They can pay me $10 and I might try it.

[Chickenhawk]

They can pay me $10 and I might try it.


Oh well, won't be killing you on the new maps then....shame.

[Solodon]

There QA team needs a kick in the Azz though. These bugs are plainer then the big nose on my face. Any idiot could have found them. I assuming its the profit over product model of business must have played the large factor.

[N2K]

maby they should lower the price a bit beacuse of the problems and the postponements.

Yea that sounds like EA...lol i say it should be free!

[ACE4U]

They can pay me $10 and I might try it.

:locked: Aw..... is you trying to bunny hop my :ar15: Those who played the cheap way seems to be disappointed, but I on the other hand found the 1.2 patch an improvement after playing.

There is some adjustment on the attack helicopters, but in the Army you must adapt and overcome or you will be weeded out.

So all those who stop playing BF2 are the weeds, and the remaining ones are the elite forces that can change with the game.

[reichertc2005]

is this out yet?

[FordMustang]

Nope, it should be shortly after the 1.21 patch.

[i made you]

If you can use the Famas on Karkand, yes. Otherwise, no.

[wolfi]

Sure, just to see how they did the big smoke screen on the "operation smoke screen" map.

[Fumang]

yes i will buy it.......we need new maps.

[thehed]

is this out yet?
Only in Germany.

[flash55]

ich bin ein berliner :P

i wont buy it, because its not worth it, let them first fix vanilla, then we can talk about upgrades

[TITAN126]

I'll probably buy it.

[O2zi3]

I will buy it but a couple of things annoy me....

1. Content like this has been released in the past for free (which has been said already)

2. To integrate it into the game alienates those who do not wish/can't afford it. I heard that the new EF maps will be available in the vanilla game (not like SF which is separate). Therefore, they will rotate in with the other maps (depending on server setting i spose). When 1 of the new maps comes up all those without the "mod" will get kicked (i assume) which will be annoying to say the least.

Sorry if this has already been said as i only got a chance to read 60% of the thread as my kids are going beserk

[=ITF=_Popeye]

I will get it, but it wil be the last one for me. By the time we all play the heck out of it and get ****ed because of the bugs, they will have bf3 out and I hope for f**ks sake they get it right so that when we are on these forums we have nothing but great things to chat about. This has been a painfull process for the lot of us and I don't want to go through it again.

Peace everybody!

[WDA_Endless954]

I will get it. I'm looking forward to it actually. I came into BF2 just before 2006, so I came in late. I'd like to be on level ground with people again on new maps.

[Chris_Redfield]

Im going to see what the EF2000 abd Tiger bring in and if the pack changes something then Im going to get it. Otherwise its Stechkov Syndicate being the only item on the PC gaming shopping list for me, for a few months.

[r0uJe]

i will. it's only 10 bucks!

[Chris_Redfield]

i will. it's only 10 bucks!

Thats 15 beers for me :(

[Hephaistion]

I'd rather skip the euro booster and get right to the nitty gritty and get the Armored Fury Booster pack. A-10, Apache, American homeland maps.
Bring it... Euro...seen it in so many games, i could care.
You have seen what in so many games? I beleive that Euro is pretty fresh subject matter, please share with us the game(s) you have seen Euro-like gameplay in.

[Hephaistion]

Thats 15 beers for me :(
What kinf of beer do you drink? @ $.66 a can (I am assuming) it must be deeeelish!

[Mandos_2k]

I won't buy it. EA/Dice just try to rip us off again. Earlier you got the same content or maybe even more for free. 10 bucks aren't much but that's just the first step to new "super-expensive-add-ons". Sooner or later you'll have a bunch of booster-packs which all together cost you as much as the original game (or maybe even more) but with less content.

They already tried that to a certaint extend with Special Forces. It's one of the most expensive add-ons I've ever seen with the least content for its price. But at least you got a DVD with it, which you won't with those booster-packs (and I don't see it to be cheaper therefore, which would compensate that a bit).

I wouldn't be surprised if they try to get some cash for new patches too in case those booster-packs are successfull.

[Chris_Redfield]

What kinf of beer do you drink? @ $.66 a can (I am assuming) it must be deeeelish!

0.66 per bottle. Its 0.5 litres full of finest 5.2% Estonian beverage you can get. Not an American, here.
Point was, I usually get more use for my money than buy a game, even if its cheap. It must be good. For PC, I can count 6 games that I´ve bought that interested me.

At least here in Finland it says in the game info manual that EA will send me a new disck if old one is damaged. I asked it from our local EA agent and indeed they will send a new one if original is returned with manual and covers.

[WhitecapUK]

Yep! I

[Mosstrooper]

I'll still buy it. Also something i would like to point out. I find it funny how the bf2 communti was complaining about 1.2's bugs and when EA announces theyre going to fix them, the same people start whining about how it's stupid that EF got pushed back. That doesn't make much sense.

[Misiek]

Man I love Battlefield 2...

After this last patch I have noticed that the game play isn't as intense but as far as strategy goes people have to think more now and it's slowing the intensity down but increasing the fairness in game (I really hated when people would bunny hop and shoot their little gernade launcher at you and kill you).

I still love the game though and will continue playing until something better comes out.

[CommandoOps]

Yes i will buy it
only if there are secret tunnels :)

[goaliemike]

I would, but knowing how they screwed up the game with 1.2, i think im gonna buy Quake Wars.
