Don't worry, we scrapped the idea, and came up with a new one that will be showcased soon hopefully. Something "unique"

let me gess, the commander will be able to fly it arround like a RC plane?

Nope. A UAV has a higher ceiling height, and lasts longer in the air than around 30 seconds. It also doesn't "scan an area repeatedly for entities. Therefore, we decided that the UAV was pretty innacurate, so we have tried to bring in something like it that could be used instead.

Sounds good. Great stuff.

If I recal.. did you guys say you would make the UAV show the terrain in real-time to only the commander.. who would have to relay his findings of what he saw with his naked eye to the squad leader/troops.. ? Did I read this somewhere else..

I do find it rather ... distasteful what EA is doing, Its really getting to the point where there almost blatantly trying to cut the mod community off at the knees, conisdering the joke that was the first editor and now this.

The funny thing about it is the models for the new Euro pack are bloody horrible, looking at the Leopard A2, Tiger and EuroFighter models i thought the ones made by POE were 10x better. I also think the Challenger 2 that is going to be in PR is way better than the **** there going to charge people for.

what ive been saying to death, DiCE Canada are shit, DiCE Sweeden who made BF2 are the good 1s with the skill. DiCE Canada are like some real **** mod team. I swar the guy who made that Challenger 2 must have been drunk, the sizes and shape hardly relate to the tank.

and for the P90, CS 1.6 has a better 1

I totally agree. When i heard about the adition of the EU I was jumping for joy.....then I saw the models.

I'll say it again, PR rocks, Vanilla BF2 sucks. Keep up with the good work guys!

Post by **BrokenArrow** » 2006-01-15 05:58

Agreed, no matter what BF2 does, it'll still be arcadey, which means I stay away from it.

BTW noetheinner I love the dancing German soldier.

sweet jesus what did they do to the challenger, the first time i saw it i thought it was some weird tank theyd made up. It looks like someone just spent five minutes making a tank that looks sort of like it.
DICE canada must be shite

DICE Canada did make BFV and the one thing i did like about BFV was there Vehicle models the player models sucked and the coding sucked but the vehicles were pretty good.

well they must have been totaly pissed while making the challenger 2, it really looks nothing like 1, all the sizes of the parts are wrong and its basicly ****.

Yeah. I have to admit I had a bit of difficulty figuring out what the mystery tank was when I first saw the pitcures. One positive thing about the expansion that gets my interest is the new maps they compare to El Al. I love tank battles with the chopper flying over head, CAP above them, and the CAS on call.

It's one thing I loved about scrims on El Al. Very cool once you get a team working well.

Is it by any chance a J-STAR/E-3 of some sort shooting that down would be great!!

Awacs can track over 200 flying and ground targets.

i love the way they say "ONLY AVAILABLE TO DOWNLOAD FROM EA" perhaps they enjoy 11kbs on ADSL but i don't

Slowest Site and server ever

thier new guns make me want to hurl

alec showed me the renders for the L85 that they have in vanilla and the skins were all shiny and there was just a featureless flash hider DICE need to get some real CAD guy's not some Bums off the street

(although a bum off the street would do better renders)

I am no modder or anything like that just a player but I feel EA has rubbed alot of people the wrong way with this game and it`s release state, whether it be in promotional screenshots of stuff not even released or making things in certain booster packs the same as some mods have been working on, I just dont like their style. Love your mod and thats why we are here so good work PR keep it going.

Post by **BrokenArrow** » 2006-01-18 23:12

Look at it this way, we need the people who eat up all these booster packs to keep EA interested in supporting BF2 and putting out patches to fix their mistakes. EA trying to make money is fine with me. They're just doing what any mod team or game developer would try to do in making their game appeal to more people and get more people to play it. I really don't think what they're doing can be considered seriously undercutting mod teams. If they wanted to do that then they wouldn't even bother with mod tools.
