Renders: http://bf-news.de/index.php?go=artikel&sid=14056

I don't understand what either article says, but a picture is worth 1000 words. The "screenshots" look junky and more like CGI scenes, but TotalBF2 called em screenshots. Nothing too impressive IMO. Shrug.

As for the renders, a couple WTF's there. Speargun? Crossbow? Poison Gas? But I can imagine the fun I'd have driving a forklift. I think I'll try to become a mean jetski driver! Oh, oh, speargun fights while riding on the four-wheeler.. like jousting

The Humvee TOW should be nice, but only one new armored vehicle? I don't know what to think about the forklift and POS.

munchkin

fuh..wah..gah...huh..
Where are the mind control devices? The remote controlled UFOs?
Exploding cows? I mean geez, if they want to completely destroy the idea of Battlefield 2 having some semblance of reality, why don't they go the whole hog?

What? How dare you question EA! I must fight you to uphold their honor and defend their good name!

I challenege you to a joust!

Check out a speargun from the armory and pick up a fork lift at the motor pool. Meet me by the warehouse on the east side of Karkand at high noon!

To make this a more sporting event, we shall choose a neutral party to toss tear gas in the warehouse before we battle!

man, that "civilian car" sure is a hoopty. i see the middle eastern insurgent, and the russian special forces...but where's Xibit to pimp that ride???

the article basically says "8 new maps, 2 of which are stictly urban. 3 of the maps take place at night. the game is geared towards infantry to encourage teamplay. there are maps that CANNOT BE WON without a commander." the article then describes several of the maps themselves but not all and then the interviewer asks if one the maps is in outter space and the EA guy says "no, but it will turn everyone's idea of a maps on its ear". maybe that will be the map with Forklift Jousting with Night Vision Goggles???

The one redeeming feature I see is:
|TG|jepzilla [Forklift] RandomGuy.

And you thought knife kills were embarassing.

Dude, where's my patch?

Shiner

Yeh I just don't see myself purchasing an expansion for this game. I got burned by the BF2 expansions and won't be doing that again. Mods and custom maps are a much better way to get additional content.
