[Fred Bob]

Weapons an' vehicles are all current stuff... thar be mo' soldier types tew pick from... animations seem mo' sophisticated... thar be a built in voice channel fer squad communication... thar be now an EA-based rankin' system fer MP... thar be a voice coach whene'er ye pick sumptin' ye haven't tried befer... etc, etc. <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/pirate3.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid="2" border="0" alt="pirate3.gif" />

Fer a free demo, although it be jus' one map, its purty comprehensive... <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/onya.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid="" border="0" alt="onya.gif" />

Keith, has ye tried de dune buggy yet? Fred Bob love rippin' around de map tryin' tew steal flags widout gittin' toasted! Or de Zodiac boats?

If'n ye gits ye Xfire an' add ye Fred Bob as yer buddy, ye kin find which server ol' Fred Bob be a playin' on! <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/laugh.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":" border="0" alt="laugh.gif" />

BTW, single player don't have de enemy airbase or the aircraft carrier IIRC. On MP, ye gotta join a server wid at least 32 players tew git ye de full map!. <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/icon_mrgreen1.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid="" border="0" alt="icon_mrgreen1.gif" />

Does ye know how tew fly ye Harrier Jump Jet, matey? <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/unsure.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":?" border="0" alt="unsure.gif" />

I agree..I was not to impressed with the demo myself because it was too much like the original BF1942.As you stated not much was changed..only this time it is with modern weapons.Otherwise it is the same game all over again IMHO.Not worth the purchase to me.
Maybe after it hits the bargain bin I will get it.

 

[Fred Bob]

Fred Bob be kinda curious an' ye be sorta beggin' de question, what exactly then were ye expectin' dat woulda impressed ye, matey? <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/unsure.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":?" border="0" alt="unsure.gif" />

Did ye try it online yet multiplayer wid about 30 or so players? <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/danse1.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid="" border="0" alt="danse1.gif" />

Yeah, sure, de game be as te sayed, "like the original BF1942," an' dat should be no surprise an' wid dat Fred Bob be agreein' wid ye tew some extent! <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/icon_mrgreen1.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid="" border="0" alt="icon_mrgreen1.gif" />

But if'n it truly WERE different from BF42 den it wouldn't exactly be Battlefield now, would it? <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/huh.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":huh" border="0" alt="huh.gif" />

SO, if you still be diggin' BF42, ye MIGHT like BF2, but if'n ye be totally burned out on BF42, then well yer prolly wastin' yer time on BF2, 'cause its got de same basic game mechanics! <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/dunno.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid="" border="0" alt="dunno.gif" />

Truth be, Fred Bob weren't de really dat innerested in BF2, especially after hearin' dat many folks found they liked BF42 better den de newer BFV, but on a whim Fred Bob downloaded de demo an' 'twas frankly pleasantly surprised at, yes de same basic game structure, but an overall enhanced game wid better graphics, Fred Bob be a thinkin'! <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/doff.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid="" border="0" alt="doff.gif" />

Cain't wait fer a WWII mod an' mebbe anudder BFP mod! <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/onya.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid="" border="0" alt="onya.gif" />

 

[Socrates]

Hey, if any of you didn't know, BF2 released like 2 days ago. If I had money <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/laugh.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":" border="0" alt="laugh.gif" /> , I'd be playing it right now, but I thought I'd tell you people that it was released.

BTW, there ARE new things in BF2, such as material penetration (bullets go through objects of a certain thickness) and built in VoIP for in-game, real-time, voice communication, and of course, the ENTIRE engine is all-new. If you want to know more, go <a href="http://www.eagames.com/official/battlefield/battlefield2/us/features.jsp" target="_blank">here</a>.

I think you guys are missing the best new feature! Mainly the commander roll and the command structure and the reward system. This game is way more tactical than the previous Battlefield games. It's pretty awesome that you can easily receive orders from the commander and squad leaders with or with out the use of VOIP. A good commander can use his tools, supply drops, UAV's, and Artillery, to really turn the course of the game around. Also a good squad leader can keep a group playing together instead of running around with out an objective. Like wise you are also rewarded for playing as a team instead of simply the amount of kills per round.. you can get points and rewards for teamwork, kill assists, capturing flags, capture assists, etc. etc. I recently got a medal for transporting guys to and from combat during one round. If you say this game is too much like the predecessors then you aren't looking deep enough. <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/duel_pa.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":ixi" border="0" alt="duel_pa.gif" />

 

[Fred Bob]

Aye, skadog, ye be in de right o' it, matey! <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/icon_mrgreen1.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid="" border="0" alt="icon_mrgreen1.gif" />

Ye make a good point about de new command structure an' reward system! <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/onya.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid="" border="0" alt="onya.gif" /> One o' Fred Bob's problems be dat he be gittin' so excited about de new game, he ain't taken de time tew larn about de new features, an' so he been playin' it jus' like BF42! <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/mybad.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid="" border="0" alt="mybad.gif" /> Seen dem UAV's, artillery, supply drops, etc. an' wondered, "What be up wid dat?" So ye be sayin' if'n ye be Commander, ye kin actually control de arty? <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/unsure.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":?" border="0" alt="unsure.gif" /> Fred Bob had wondered if'n de incomin' be from AI or anudder player! <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/rolleyes.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid="" border="0" alt="rolleyes.gif" /> Mebbe gonna havta break down an' buy dat really nice lookin' Pima strategy guide! <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/bookish.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":mm" border="0" alt="bookish.gif" />

Fredbob, forget the guide.. just play the game as commander in Single Player! <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/me.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid="" border="0" alt="me.gif" /> You'll learn allot! If your playing SP, the AI Commander is smart enough to call in Arti, although if you take command then you can as well! <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/danse1.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid="" border="0" alt="danse1.gif" />

I found a cool Co-Op tool recently. Check this out! 1.3 is even better than 1.2!

Battle Coop is a small however fine Tool for the Singleplayer mode. Which one can employ with this Tool:

Number of Bots from 1 to 99
Offering strength from 0.1 to 2.0
Amount of that ticket alterable
The entrance time can be adapted
Like many rounds by map
Intro Movies in or out
All weapons de-energise
Change or add from offering names
Start the play in the dissolution of favourite
The Game in Window or fullscreen mode plays

Go here to Download and read the original post:

Shame there's still no way to play on 64 player maps on single player. 16playermode maps are way too small for my taste, especially when playing 32 bots! <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/duel_pa.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":ixi" border="0" alt="duel_pa.gif" /> It really gets quite hectic...
