The game isn't even out a month, not one bug squashed and the expansion is near completion already. All the EA bashing money hungry threads kinda seem true now.

Do not forget that they released the 1.01 patch, which introduced more bugs, and then pulled it from their site after atleast half the people that bought the game installed it.

They are working "hard" on fixing the bug... 6 days later and nothing, BUT they managed to find time to begin creating an expansion for the game.

exactly.... waiting patiently.

" So the new bread and butter features for the expansion pack are six new armies, ten new vehicles, and twelve new base weapons."

This is my favorite sentence in the whole article:

"It is still Conquest as a game mode, however the maps are focused much more around infantry combat. "

My favorite maps are the ones with very little air or armor. Street fighting with infantry gives me the greatest thrill. Looking forward to some player-made maps that focus on infantry only combat.

HUGELY addicted to this game.

Yup, when the patch was running there were a couple servers that ran the city maps 24/7. No Jet robotic flag bomb whoring. There was also another that ran the city maps every 2nd map in rotation.

I'm personally hoping someone will port over the Lost Village map from the DC mod.

I cant stand BF2, Id rather play BF1942 with the DC Final mod. The flight model for the game is totaly snafu.

Chairboy · « **Reply #6 on:** July 14, 2005, 01:46:04 PM »

The airplane model is BF has always been wonky, haven't gotten BF2 yet. I really want to know, from someone who has played, how DC-Final helicopters compare to BF2 helos.

BF2 Helios are bricks compared to DC. Read the forums, all the DC kids are upset they don't fly as nimble.

bf2 chopppers are plenty nimble if you know how to fly em. I prefer the flight in bf2 over dc, for choppers anyway. Havent flown a jet yet.

ditto on the city fighting - what a blast. I do like the choppers though. I just got the controls mapped to my ms sidewinder. The graphics look pretty nice. The jets are a bit sucky.

The jets are really weird.
I think the helos feel alot closer to "real" than the jets.
Also the jets are slowed down about 1/2. When your ASI says 600 km/h every one else sees you going ~300 km/h. One night Octavius kept chasing my MiG-29 down with his Cobra...

Octavius · « **Reply #11 on:** July 14, 2005, 07:06:12 PM »

I was merely turning a tighter circle and my gunner was a fairly good shot. You were slowing for a rearm and flying a lazy circle. If it were a straightaway, I was toast.

FUNKED1 · « **Reply #12 on:** July 14, 2005, 07:08:43 PM »

Yeah but when I was "slowing down" I was still going 600 km/h. That's more than twice the top speed of any helicopter. The airplane ASI is way off.

United · « **Reply #13 on:** July 14, 2005, 07:18:14 PM »

If it went the correct speed, you'd never be able to stay in the map, much less shoot stuff.

I bought the game and only played a few times. JO and JO: Escalation are/were better. Even Op Flashpoint was 'funner'.

Out of 10 I give a 4. I hated BF42 and the Vietnam crap...dunno why I bought this one...

EA sux...
