My memory of BF2 is fading, what new/revived vees could they possibly bring back from those maps that we don't have already? All that's coming to mind is the BTR for MEC, and I remember FERRET talking about Bobcats on Wake Island.

Speaking of the Back to Karkand pack; I had missed out on preordering this and I am looking to buy it today. Are there any distributors still selling limited edition versions of the game? Or do I have to wait and pay 15 bucks when it does finally come out? Should I try one of the key sites like intkeys or something else (Im in the US)? Thanks for any info.

Speculation: Iron gator will probably make it's way to us since DICE did a 1:1 conversion of the carrier just with updated graphics on canals.

Just applied to BF Goons 5 if someone can accept, user mlinzz Also, is there a friends and family exception for the BFgoons servers? Can I add a non-goon friend to the whitelist so he can play with me?

Death Himself posted:They will be. The guns from the physical warfare pack are really just guns from the Karkand expansion. The PWP pack has exactly one exclusive gun and it was never in Battlefield 2, much less in the B2K expansion.  E: I can see the confusion, the Type 88 in the PWP is a different Type 88 than the one in BF2/B2K. One's a machine gun, the other is a sniper rifle.

The Karkand vehicles are the F-35B, the Desert Patrol Vehicle (aka the BF2 jeep), and the BTR-90.

The recoilless rifles still had enough recoil to flip the lightweight dune buggies and were abandoned. Sounds perfect in a  game!

ChewyLSB posted:No, because BF3 (like BC2) assumes that if you map something that uses is a Control Stick or the mouse input, and if its one of the inputs that has an opposite (so Looking up/down, pitch/roll/yaw/freelook), the game tries to be clever and maps that entire axis as both control settings.

I know people complain about ubiquity of IRNV scopes, but having played on a lot of pubbie servers I rarely see it. And when I do see it it's usually some dipshit with a M249 and a flash suppressor and a bipod accompanying it. Every goon might put the same poo poo on their gun, but the vast majority of the BF3 universe is still doing things the old way. Not that it won't be a sea of green and range in a couple of weeks.

I myself don't use it as it causes occasional performance drops for me. Doesn't change how good it is.

I really, really like the scale of the new maps. Less Backcapping, more fighting, but still plenty of room to flank. I'm actually a little sad because 64p on the 32p version of Oman is absolutely amazing.

Wait until they start unlocking it. 100 kills is still quite a bit for a specific gun, especially faction specific ones.
