BF2: Special Forces Announced [Jul 14, 2005, 10:05 am ET] – Share – Viewing Comments
With the dull thud still audible from the release of the first abortive BF2 patch,
EA and Digital Illusions
Announce Development of Battlefield 2 Special Forces Expansion Pack
unveils plans for the first expansion for DICE's military shooter sequel.
There's also a
Battlefield 2: Special Forces Q&A on IGN discussing the project, revealing
that new features will include a grappling hook and night vision goggles (along
with an end to the nine-to-five war with the inclusion of night maps where the
goggles will be useful). Here's a bit from the announcement for the add-on, which
is due this fall:
In Battlefield 2: Special Forces, players will choose to fight as one of 6 different Special Forces soldiers -- Navy SEALs, British SAS, Russian Spetznas, MEC Special Forces, Rebel groups and insurgents. Armed with the latest Special Forces weaponry, players can take control of any of the game's 10 new vehicles to engage in major conflicts with up to 64 players. Additionally, persistent character growth allows players to continue to rise through the ranks.
Battlefield 2: Special Forces takes the intensity and quality of Battlefield 2 behind the scenes of news headlines, showcasing the most elite and deadly forces in the modern military world. Using accurate Special Forces weapons, gadgets, and vehicles, these covert armies battle to control key military and strategic locations.
I too would be MORE then happy to make a constructive post, as I have done in the past, but the big issue is that people feel totally shafted, and I for one agree with them. The support for this game is abismal as I'm sure you can agree. I never did purchase or play BF:V, and in some ways am thankful for that. What's even more scarey is EA's own claims (provided by EA via video on the BF2 site) of how big their QA dept is for this game, and yet after the first patch the community is befuddled beyond belief.
Some of the bugs that were released with the game are highly suspect, such as lack of points for Spec Ops for destroying UAV/Radar/Arty, to the red name tag if you pick up an enemy kit. Not to mention the fact that EA suggested everyone reinstall the game rather then use the patch.
Were angry and I think we have every right to be especially now that an expansion has been announced, and there have yet to be any announcement about the Editor (which should be released any day now) and patch concerns.
