BF1942 - good
BF1942 Road to Rome expansion pack - BAD
BF1942 Secret Weapons expansion pack - BAD
BFVietNam - BAD

BF2 - good
BF2 Special Forces expansion pack - ???

You fellows convinced me. I like BF2 despite its flaws, but I'm not falling for this crap.

The more I see of this expansion pack, the more it looks like a franchise misstep.

The gameplay dynamic seems all wrong to me. Trying to shoehorn Splinter Cell and Rainbow Six gameplay elements into the Battlefield platform just doesn't seem like it's going to work. The gameplay videos posted a while back didn't look compelling and these screenshots have done nothing to change my feelings. I'd be more enthusiastic about EA announcing a new gameplay mode in the EP, like the inclusion of the defunct Supply Line game type or some objective-based maps. Hell, even the return of Capture the Flag would be a welcome change to the status quo.

I don't think that playing a map in the dark and being able to zipline from warehouse rooftop to warehouse rooftop is going to make the current BF2 formula any more fun. And at this point, that's all Special Forces appears to be.

NV goggles? Man... I have yet to see a game where NVGs were anything more than a gimmick. :|

And zip lines? Those didn't work so hot in PlanetSide. :|

JESUS EA, JUST GIVE US SOME COOL NEW VEHICLES... enough of the gimmick crap.

Want to know what game is better?
Operation Flashpoint! If I would have discovered this game back when it came out.. I never would of bought BF:1942... the infantry combat is down right awful in BF

zing. looks good. finally some maps with less airborne massacres.

just a reminder : the team doing this is different than the team who made the original game so all the "FIX THE BUGS FIRST" comments don't really make much sense.

I love BF2, but i agree no need for this stupid expansion, fix the damn bugs in the standalone game first..

Whats the expected release date for this?

As much as I want to say I won't get this until they finish fixing BF2... I know I'll break. As soon as I hear coworkers talking about stalking their enemy in a night mission and doing all sorts of awesome stuff I'll crack.

hahahahha that ziplining looks so stupid. Also, good letter, UMAX.

has anybody mentioned all the things i dont like about the gameplay of bf2 and classify as bugs? im not gunna bother reading any of the other elevendy billion other post that already mentioned it. ill just bring it up here since i saw bf2 in the topic. oh, almost forgot, screw EA since they purposely slow the release of patches to make money.

so if we havn't bought hte game yet I take it we should just hold our money and see if they ever bother patching it?

Here's hoping there's more tactical teamwork than spitting of bullets.

Hay EA/Dice, how about releasing some screens in something other than ultra compressed 640x480 with all the graphics turned down? This isn't a PSP game!

I assume it's dark in the first shot since they use night vision, so maybe the shadows should not be so clear?

For me, performance issues are one thing, but its the fun factor destroying aerial vehicle dominance that has kept me from playing this game. Scary, but if this expansion is more like Ghost Recon (the original, from a sneak around at night experience) I could really enjoy this.

Games that don't work for 6 months after release should be getting a full 0% in reviews. This is right up there with Black and White on my Never Again list.
