its set in 2010 so they are allowed to :P TBH it just looks like a variant :| not much difference

[LaGrenouille]

Still looks good, I really don't give a crap

Are you sure it's not some kind of variant?

[WDA_Endless954]

Nose is a bit too pointy. Already been said in another thread.

All in all, pretty good job.

[Nintendogamer]

Maybe you are looking at it the wrong way. but who cares?

[jayhigh]

the tipical little bird is usually refered to as an AH-6/MH-6 which is a military designation, such as M1A1, or M16-A2

EA says this helicopter is the McDonald Douglass MD530 defender.
SO NO, EA DID NOT SCREW UP THE LITTLE BIRD.

we are just used to seeing the AH-6/MH-6 with its bubble form. In this case, EA has selected the MD530 defender...

although they relatively the same, just a variant.
there the same..
MD530 is the manufacturers name,
AH-6/MH-6 is military name..

kinda like
Barretta 92FS (manufact name)
M-9 (military name)

Right, but EA/DICE did screw up by calling it a "Little Bird", the "Little Bird" is the MH-6/AH-6 varient, the MD-530 is the "Defender". Also, EA/DICE screwed up by making it so that troops sit on the fixed-wings (which the miniguns are mounted on).

However, EA/DICE did get it right for using the MD-530 instead of the AH-6/MH-6, as the "Little Bird" is only used by Special Operations Forces (flown only by the United States Army's 160th Special Operations Aviation Regiment).

[Forest]

I believe they've been calling it a scout chopper, not 'little bird'

Well then, I believe you're wrong...

including 3 scout helos such as the MD 530 "Little Bird"

[Splinter]

lol I would'nt like to sit only a couple of inches above a minigun that fires 6000 rpm bit to close for comfort.

[Daz]

Yeah its still one, BUT DEFINATELY uglier.

I am really quite disapointed with this, I loved the rounded windshield and the flat part on top of the propeller.


And **** would soldiers be sat on top of a minigun, I think they shouldnt bother with the other choppers, just make littlebird variants for each army, ( I know iraqis have some old vietnam ones and china should too), and just give them side panels for transport, they would be so much more use that way. I know the propper littlebirds are SF only choppers, so why not add that as a new army for AF, like delta force, even though I think they are only around for capture style missions or something, but still EA should create them, as I been saying from the start.

Now people will just fly them around and try and kill people with the machine guns. Which will keep them in the air too long and never get a ****ing ride on them.

WHY OH WHY cant we just have some non whored vehicles.

I guess doesnt even matter now, as if they were good I would want them in almost every map.

Maybe if they added one with side panels for aircraft carrier maps in bf2, for quick landings across maps, like wake, dalian and oman. It would definately stop people getting pinned on the carrier.

We dont mean to complain all the time, I know it seems like alot of people pick out tiny details, but if they had just done it right we could have so many things being 100x better than they already are and make BF2 so great.

[PUB|Space]

Fek me if I care if the rear screw on the top of the cockpit under the left ventrical is the right size? I care that it's fun to fly about.

[th3 chr0nic]

lol wow im so upset i might just complain.........../lame
