Euro Force out now..
 

meh, its the only game, except Oblivion soon, that I've played for a long time so I'm gonna splash out on this booster i suppose.

I've been eating too much junk food of late and this download will cost me the same as a big unhealthy snack, so thats 1 less for me.

http://www.ea.com/official/battlefield/ ... nload4.jsp

Its either 325 or 370Mb in size. $9.99...

I'll post my opinion plus screens soon..

Pos then or what? Im gonna assume it has the typical english stereotyped voices and sayings as well. annoy:

i bought SF and EF yesterday. I like the new vehicles and maps and weapons in EF. and yes gerv, they do have a strange euro voice.

The only thing I didn't like was that the localizations are all messed up. I'll take a SS later to show you what i mean.

"bloody 'ell guvner that tanks about to roll us old chaps over. TALLY HO!!!!!"

biggrin:

Seen this quote related to infantry combat on total bf2.

[quote:f1998]I see plenty of teamwork with 64 player servers. Especially on Great Wall where everyone is fighting on the tops of the walls in close combat. That's where DICE really tests your skill.[/quote:f1998]


Yeah gotta say hammering the prone button is a great test of skill. oOo:

That map is fun. There are lots of squads that get up on the top of the walls and duke it out. I was commanding last time I played so I would just hammer down on top of the wall with artillery. It was pretty fun. Gerv, the bunny hopping and jump-prone stuff is not as big as a problem as you make it seem. Most people just go prone to have more accuracy once they see someone and to keep from getting shot.

Not as big of a problem? Since i bought bf2 on its release ive probably yet to see more than a handful of people not diving prone to open fire at someone. Its even worse now that the pkm is dubbed "the meatgrinder" servers are whored up with people using that no end.

you can't hit anything at any sort of distance unless you are prone...

Far as im aware proning barely increases the accuacey in bf2, games like dod it does but bf2 is more arcadey. For pkm and simailr mg's i can understand proning, but for every weapon it gets to be a bit of a yawnfest.

well then there's the fact that it makes you harder to hit as well because you can't dodge in a gunfight like you could in mohaa because when you move and shoot in BF2 your bullets go every which way so otherwise you would just have to stand there and if you ask me, i'd rather go prone than just stand there when someone shoots at me.

Therein is the problem, people do this shit in closeup gun fights as well and for some fucked up reason it works. To me it seems theres some kind of glitch in the proning animation, ive lost count of the times ive unloaded half a mag into someone whos diving prone and it seems to do nothing, more or less like the shots are going straight through them.

If that the case then its just some lame exploit people are whoring. ive no problem people doing it at range where you'd expect them to do it but the inclose crap is just boring as all fuck.

ok, well maybe you should just try playing a different game until they "fix" it (if they "fix" it.)

If is right happy:

I just fuck around in game now, drive jeeps over people while honking the horn. biggrin:

lol i load up jeeps with C4 and drive to the enemy airfield or whatever and have fun there :P

THE NIGHT AWAY!!!!!!!!!! happy:

Proning is for pussys, I just crouch down in gunfights. Steadies the gun and its faster to get up and running from than the prone position.

played few times now and I think i like it. The china map is fun when you're fighting on top of the wall dodging nades n snipe mofos but i'd prefer it if it was lighter.
Alot of people say they like smokescreen the best and i admit its a real nice map, very mental with tanks and vehicles.
the other asian map is alright altho its pretty boring as its an arty's dream, generally has 2 busy flags that get spammed to hell on either side of the main bridge with jets having a field day.

BUT the more i play the more i'll discover i'm sure. the weapons are quite nice if not very different at all, the medics rifle i like and snipering on the china wall is alot of fun.

As for the Euro voices, well its jus about 3 different voice actors, i think 1 englishman and 2 scandavian, jus sounds like swedish dudes all muffled. Thankfully haven't spotted any Medieval Guv'nas from London Village yet....

7/10 its fine for £5.99 imo..

It amazes me, smokescreen and tunubra look and play like dc maps, theyre 2 maps that are ideal for tank batles. But dice obviously realised they were good and had to do something to gay it up since this is their trademark, so they go ahead and add spamming cluster bombers to each side. So instead of having proper tank battles the majority of the kills are made up of some tard flying about in the plane variation of the noob cannon just dumping bombs all about the battlefield. oOo: rolleyes:

Tanks apc's and jeeps would have made these maps fine, but the open areas just makes it a gift for homos who jerk off over flying planes. sleeping:

all the new maps are fun.

Try having the following in tunubra:

2 cunts flying your sides planes who must have set the world record for jacking off because their planes usually >30 seconds after takeoff are slamming into the ground or the nearest available wall.

1 retard using the bradley and who somehow seems to be an expert at making every missile he fires miss.


4-5 disgruntled tankers who can't do much because their sides air defence suck more balls than the average whore in a gang bang.

The rest of the team bouncing around at the spawn waiting for planes.


Doesn't exactly make for a fun game. When your tank squads being raped by 1 asswipe in a nubstick bomber and the rest of the team seem to be more focused on who can make your planes crash the fastest. Frustrating as hell. annoy:

Ive had one or 2 good games on tunubra or smokescreen, but on pub servers the above scenario is all too common, from what ive seen.

if you don't like em, don't play em.

You get annoyed so easily Gerv biggrin:

I find EF to have a bit of an impact on my system, seems every game start begins with regular stuttering, drives me nuts.

plus the explosion blurryness takes longer than usual, really wish they'd turn that effect off somehow...

Maybe my Radeon 9800 pro is on its last legs, will be tested to the full with ES4: Oblivion very soon..... spank:

I actually like 2 of the 3 maps, great wall imo is a pos, but the other 2 are good IF you can get on a server with people that have a clue. Otherwise using tanks just makes you a big slow moving target for the nubs with their bombers. loney:

You're right about the game performance though, in the special forces box i got some bs flyer saying "this game performs best on nvidia gpu's since it was tested on them mainly during development". Special forces performance is pretty bad, the euro forces performance is less than regular bf2 but not as bad as special forces.

new maps are decent...great wall is fun as commander. there are alot of great jet pilots though that make moving in that armor a nightmare. i was on the receiving end of a carpet bombing campaing for most of the weekend but thats how it goes...

gerv you bash and you bash and you still buy it... oOo:

Pretty hard to bash it unless i buy it unles i want to go off peoples opinions which could differ a lot from my own. At least this way i tried it first hand. Im not the only one pissed about the bomber spamming either, sen a few threads on different forums with people pissed about it.


Had a fun game last night though, euro team 3 round in a row got pegged back into their main base with our mec team shelling their base with tanks outside the front gates.

These guys on the euro side were retarded, i never even seen one carpet boming they seemed to think hiding in their base was a good tactic. annoy:
