Battlefield 2 Special Forces

[einCe]

its out guys go get it :D
and i must say, the new weapons are excellent and are actually better than the stock, (as opposed to reg bf2 unlocks which arent) and you can unlock the sf weapons to use in bf2 :banana: f2000 ftw

[ben805]

none of the local stores have it yet, where did you get yours from? I don't feel like downloading it either....

[charlie]

...details.... what kind of new weapons?

[ben805]

Someone post this on bf2.org:



"Ok here is the list of new unlocks:

-Scar-L for Spec Ops
-G36E for Medic
-F2000 (w/ grenade launcher) for Assault
-MP7 for Engineer
-MG36 for Support

As mentioned earlier these are the Tier 2 unlocks, meaning you have to already unlock the vanilla BF2 kit before you can unlock these, i.e. must unlock PKM before you can unlock the MG36.

I have tried all of these and this is what I have found so far:
SCAR-L is very accurate and powerful, great gun.
G36E seems pretty similar to the M-16 but a little more accurate in burst.
F2000 does alot of damage and has a scope. Good all around weapon.
MP7 is very exciting for someone sick of shotguns, good rate of fire and more accurate at long range than a shotgun.
MG36 seems pretty similar to M249 but is decently accurate in burst mode.

It was pretty fun to bust out the new guns on an old BF2 server and all the noobs were wondering what the hell just killed them, and where they could get them. I guess EA really figured out a great way to market their expansion pack, huh?"


I'm sold....where the heck can I buy a hard copy now?!?!?!?! dang it I want the SF!!!! :slobber: :slobber: :slobber:


Edit: I just called my local CircuitCity....they have it now!! I'm going to pick it up during lunch.....yay!!!

I want it!!

A few suggestions though, EA needs to put out a new category of soldier, an AA soldier carrying SAMS...

That and don't you ALL think that an ENGINEER should carry c4??? I do. PLUS maybe a mortar guy?? Remember mortars from bfv?

EA need to recode the dang thing!! an Engy can fix the bridge but can't blow it up....that's pretty lame! special force should have different toys....like jamming satellite/UAV and interupt the enemy's communication with hi-tech equipment or whatnot, C4 blongs to the Engy! :lol: one thing I would like to see most is APC and tank mowing down trees, going through wall, building destruction with arty and stuff like that, that'd be way cool!! :D

[ben805]

Charlie, I thought you had uninstalled BF2 as it was cutting heavily into time you could have spent doing other things...Lol, noboby ever REALLY leaves the BF, do they?...Back in the saddle huh?

And I kind of agree about the classes, the Engineer - no C4 for that sneaky plick. They should just put the mines back to the way they were before the patch. An AA class would be cool too..

The only thing I don't see happening anytime soon is bringing back the mortars, which did rock in BFV. We now have the Commander with the artillery, so it kinda takes the place of mortars. Besides, on the new Wake 2007 map, they didn't even have the Def Guns...In 1942 those things were just ruthless, raining down hell. If I can't have my Def Gun, then you can't have mortars :p:

I think that's a different Charlie that you were refering to :lol: :D

[einCe]

oh no, it was him

[ben805]

oh shoot....it was him!!! :lol: :lol: well....what can I say, BF2 is awesome....I was like that for the first few weeks, average about 4hr a day and gave up sleep for this dang game :D :D but I'm getting much better to keep my time in line now :p

[charlie]

Yeah, I reinstalled it about a month ago and am up to 9400 points :D

[Nettwerk]

I didnt like it at first but now that ive played it more than 3 hours it is awesome imo.. the maps are just better cause its mostly inf firefights and lots of choke points :)

[Special_K]

don't use SF unlocks on vanilla BF2 servers otherwise your own teammates TK you just to pick up your kit to 'try a new gun' =/

also, 4 flashbangs each is stupid on maps like Karkand/Sharqi - no word of a lie, K just played a Karkand only server, and the first 5minutes was basically a whitescreen as every man and his dog threw flashbangs into the hotel flag area =/

however, even with all those bugs, K still love teh BF2 & SF expansion =D

[WeStSiDePLaYa]

ugh, ive just started playing bf2, nothing but night mares. no where near as good as bfv in my eyes. bf2 seems so buggy.

[Achilles17]

Has anyone downloaded the game via EA yet, or did you all just buy it? It looks good though...now I'm kicking myself for not unlocking the G3, and getting the M95 instead; the FN2000 sounds sick.

[einCe]

i bought mine, and as for the unlocks. you get the same number of unlocks for bf2 sf as you have for vanilla. for example. you have 2 unlocks the sniper and the engi, but you want the f2000. you can use the two points you have to get the g3 and then the f2000

[ben805]

I'd played the SF for about an hour earlier....it's different....I'll have to get use to it, loads of new weapons to try :D :D After you'd installed the SF make sure you apply the new 1.12 patch otherwise it run like shiat!!

[KoHaN69]

merge enginner and specops
also merge support and assult
also merge medic and batman

eh?

:slap:

[charlie]

How about a forward air supporter??? Someone to "paint" targets for airstrikes?????? Wouldn't that be FUN?????

C

[charlie]

Yeah, while I'm here, I'm gonna GRIPE.

At my last unlock I got the heavy machine gun. Even laying prone, I've noticed it takes MANY hits to kill an enemy. That's BS, it's got like a 850rpm cycle rate, so that 2 second burst just delivered about 14 rounds... Yeah, I think that'd do the trick!

And the M95 is STILL underpowered. Look at the spec's of the 50CAL Ball AMMO, that MF hits with SOOOOOOO much force it's ridiculous! A hit ANYWHERE on the human body would instantly leave the victim incapacitated. A hit to the calf would remove the leg from the knee down. There were reports in Vietnam of using 50cal on peeps and it literally blows humans into separate pieces, capiche?

As my next unlock I'll take the L85A1 finally, I pick it up on the ground occasionally... it's ok. BUT let me tell you something!! When I get freekin' DROPPED, I mean like full health running for a flag cap and the next thing I know I'm DOWN, it's from a DAO12... maybe I'll grab one! I already have the JackHammer, and don't really like it!

And why does it take 2 C4 charges to disable a Artillery piece? A hand grenade in the breech would work fine!

/end rant

its a video game charlie,
and all those unlocks suck btw :D

[Special_K]

hehe - it's a good thing you didn't post that in the EA forums charlie, you would be flamed for bringing up the 10,000th post about it =p

G36C (SpecOps unlock) is the most accurate rifle in the game - put it on single shot and you will out snipe snipers!

DAO-12 is AWESMOE\o/™ for urban combat - just remember to aim down after your first shot because the recoil sends all other shots over their head

other than that, the other unlocks are pretty useless unless you are one of those TK'ers who uses the M95 to shoot out the guy who beat you to the jet/chopper seat at the start of a round =/

[einCe]

id have to disagree, the G36E is the most accurate rifle. you put that sucker on burst and fire they will all hit. 3 bullet headshots everywhere oh yeahhh.

[mr_knowitall15]

Im gonna gripe too. I just bought this expansion, installed it, and played it a bit. I thought BF2 Sucked up the RAM before but O..M...G!!!! This was 100 times worse at the start of maps. I might as well be playing on GeForce2 for how crappy it runs at first. Also i agree with charlie. I got killed by some guy after shooting him in the chest with the 50 cal sniper rifle. I like to hunt, and especially shoot, and am very familiar with guns. If a 9mm Pistol or .40S&W like most cops use can incapacitate a human with somewhere in the neighborhood of 800 ft/lbs of energy, a 50BMG with something like 12,000 ft/lbs IIRC should have no problem whatsoever. :fact: :slapass:

[mr_knowitall15]

Ah here it is. Using my handy dandy Ballistics software, i have made a graph showing the rounds trajectory, as well as its Energy, Time of flight, and other neat factors.
