Lovin' it..

[machstem]

So, I've now played about 6hrs of Euroforce, and I have to admit that I like it.

I love the new riot shottie, great weapon and powerful! The medic's FAMAS rocks the hizouse, great sounding.

I like the new TigerTank, but I don't like that I can't see the fron of my tank, I have a hard time judging where my front is going, but that shell is damn powerful. Was taking out tanks left and right with them

I don't think these maps are infantry friendly, as I've seen, but it is definitely engineer friendly! I've never had so much fun being in a tank brigade, running a convoy down a strip of mine infested fields and roads, bomb runs being helped by your team's fighters, etc etc.

I can however see how some maps could be considered "bomber friendly" but I've only noticed this problem when the team doesn't effectively use the mobile AA nor the SAM sites.

I played the "quarry" map several times, and it reminded me SO much of a DC/POe map that I fell in love quickly. I just wish helicopters were in both Operation Smoke Screen and the "quarry".

The Great Wall is by far one of the best tactical combat maps I've yet to see. Secured/controlled entrances requiring both infantry and tanks/APCs. The environment is beautiful, with the falling of leaves to the ground and such. The different "shortcut" paths offer some great tactical advantages when running convoys.

All in all, I have to say that although I feel I shouldn't have had to pay for these maps, it's good to know DICE never forgot about those of us that enjoy larger areas and vehicle based maps. I'll be curious to see "Armored fury" in the coming months, and how it will compare to how well these three maps were balanced.

The only drawback to these maps are previously stated, there is no 64player support which kind of draws away from BF2 in that I enjoy 64 player maps with large non-linear maps.

Same here, favorite map on EF has to be Operation Smoke Screen, such a good map, play that alot now, its one of the best maps, the tiger tank I find easy to navigate with, don't really have any troubles, the Euo Jet, is pretty good only problem is it feels as if it turns to the right a little uneven, the Euro Heli is good, funny when someone flips it over and the missiles in the Tiger HAP seem quite accurate, graphics are nice as well.

I'm enjoying it too.....just wished they released 2-3 more maps with it.

Yea a few more maps would have been nice. This is the order of maps from best to worst for me...

1. Great Wall-Great map for sniping. Tons of claymore spots, and you can easily snipe in the towers, or in the alleys on top of the wall. Or you can run around on the ground between the two flags. The only problem is it can get a little boring if the one team controls both flags within the wall.

2. Operation Smoke Screen-Great map for being a heli pilot/gunner. Two helis and not much oposition besides other helis and planes. Tons of targets as well. Contrary to popular belief, there are some nice sniping spots, but those are for you to find. ;) Only problem is often most of your opponents are in tanks, helis, or planes. Only downside of this map is it is almost impossible to play assault, medic, or support unless you plan to get into a vehicle, but being an engineer is better suited for this.

3. Taraba Quarry-Meh. This map is alright. TONS OF TANKS. Great if you love tanking, but it is way too easy for bomber pilots to rack up kills. Would be nice if there were helis and more AA threat. Again almost impossible to do well playing assault, medic, or support. Sniping is okay on this map. If your team is doing poorly this map really sucks, because you have to go right up the gut with your attacks. They should add another bridge.

I can help you here play the 16 player map no planes still lots of tanks to and in a smaller area so it feels like a lot still. I love EF too good fun.

There is a little icon on your HUD showing the position of your cannon versus the body of the tank. It helps me a little but it still is hard to tell where you're going.

Yeah, it took me longer than any other tank in any other BF game to get used to it! :)

As for Quarry map and all the tanks, I agree, if DICE would have wanted to make a "infantry" based map pack, they should have included more close combat when you get to the flag.

I think there is an adequate amount of AA emplacements and AA vehicles, it simply needs to follow the tanks while in convoy. I had a guy follow 4 of our tanks (all eng.) and he was ammo. We never got taken out once. I think one guy strayed from the convoy and got destroyed before we could reach him, but it was fun!

Yep, they did suprisingly well!!! GG

[one ill mother]

the new medic gun gives me an erection.
seriously.

The Great Wall is by far one of the best tactical combat maps I've yet to see.

So you haven't seen it yet? :confused:

I think he meant to say 'thus far' or something of that effect.

I must give props to this booster pack. would have been nice to see additional maps for the price, but I must say it was still worth it.

Yes, Operation Smoke Screen is a great map. I love playing AT on that map. Fun as hell guiding missles to your target. I have also taken out many heli with my AT ;)
