Battlefield 2: Armored Fury Interview

Jun 02, 2006 11:14am CST tags: Games: PC, Battlefield, Interview
New from David today is this Battlefield 2: Armored Fury interview, asking DICE Canada's Tom Galt about this second Battlefield 2 booster pack that's being released soon.
Tom Galt: We learned 2 valuable lessons, at least from the design side of the Euro Force booster pack. The first lesson was that while everybody seemed to enjoy the 3 new levels, which maps people liked depended on their play styles. The infantry players preferred Great Wall, while the pilots and tank drivers gravitate to Operation Smoke Screen and Taraba Quarry. For Armored Fury, we've tried to strike a better balance between the 3 disciplines, and I think the levels are much better for it. From the content side, people enjoyed the new vehicles but many hoped that the vehicles would offer some new gameplay when in fact they are pretty much just variations on the existing themes. In BF2, a tank is a tank. So for Armored Fury, we have focused on providing new types of vehicles that can offer players something different than what already exists in Battlefield 2.

EA sends along the latest Battlefield 2 patch, updating their popular multiplayer shooter to version 1.3. If you already have 1.22 installed there is this incremental patch. The update offers more bug fixes and tweaks along with these new features
- Air dropped vehicles: Squad members can now send a request up the chain of command for a vehicle to be dropped at their location.
- Co-op: Co-op Mode allows you to play Single Player levels on the Internet and LAN with both AI controlled bots and human players. Several new options have been created that will allow the server creator to modify how the bots behave in game.
* Number of Bots: This setting allows you to determine the total number of bots that will spawn in game.
* Bot Ratio: This setting allows you to determine the percentage of total bots that will spawn for each team. For example, setting this value to 25 means that 25% of the total bots will spawn in Team 1, and 75% in Team 2. Team 1 is always the MEC, Chinese, or their allies, while Team 2 is always the USA, EU, and their allies.
* Bot Difficulty: This setting determines the skill level of the bots. 10 is easiest, 100 is the most difficult.
- Default Kit Selection: The kit that you used last is remembered at the beginning of the round and between maps.

Updated server files are available as well.
