Physics thought...

There is a file or 2 that contains coding for ragdoll physics. To what extent we can change it to I have no idea since I haven't tried yet.

lol, would probably end up removing gravity or something.... j/k. Dont mess with it too much, wouldnt be fun to shoot someone and then they are instantly on the ground or something. the Physics are pretty real as is IMO.

Haha, that's hardly even BF2!!!

You can see the fuxed up ragdoll though (a guy gets a fit after the tank comes).
I wonder what they did to those sounds... And what happened to the grenade launcher ironsight, wtf? It looks to be in perfect working order. PRMM devs should check if that's still in there. Not to mention the walking. I want that!

'[R-PUB wrote:Beckwith']Its a shame looking back at that Vid there are sooo many cool things scraped from the original builds

For sure. Where is the lazer designator? That would've been great. It would make airstrikes and arty more functional and less ridiculous.

That'd be nice actualy, where vehicles aren't targetable from aircraft unless they are laser Designated.

Nice idea....might make bombing from aircraft more difficult.

humm....the ideas are flowing......

They had such a badass game and then I dont know what happend.

That blackhawk is not in the game, no laser designator, that map, the physics of objects and who knows what else.

Fucking makes me mad really.

Yes, it definetely isn't how we would like it to be and I must say it doesn't seem very smart to me to get everyone exited with neat toys etcetera and then take them out, but well their point of view is not entirely stupid as well.

I mean, they're not there to make the best games they can (that's up to the mods), but to sell as many copies as possible. And that's what my goal would be too if I were in their position. Of course better games sell better as well but the thing is, it brings in more money to spread the toys over expension packs....

The laser designator is in the game (files) just not used, I remember someone on the BF2 forums got it partially working but there were a few minor bugs and the fact it didn't send a message to the pilot.

Short answer: They got rid of all the cool features because of one or these two things:

A) It would have made the game have a higher learning curve, require an IQ above 80 to play to get any kills.

B) The game was rushed (believe it or not, it probably should have come out 1 year plus from when it actually did) because of EA, and many features that couldn't easily be optimized were scrapped.

A things are like laser designation

B things are like nade launcher iron sights, better explosoins, sounds, fastroping, walking, better ragdoll physics, BH tail rotor effects.
