The whole point of this thread is to take away the waiting for .8 pain!
Your quite right though, to be honest I find Gumballs more hypnotising. Wish I could bake cakes...

It would be awesome...echo wrote:EA are releasing a new patch? That's news to me... I thought they gave up on BF2, hopefully in their next patch, they will include the ability to house more than 8 players inside a chopper.![]()
Lets all pray...
Oh Lord, dont let EA make new bugs;
If it does, dont let them mess with PR;
And we wish that the new patch doens´t require much changings in PR.
Pretty sure that my english is all rusty!

i voted, but this is silly, why would you ask people who dont have a clue about the release if they thought it was going to be a certain way.

Read the 1st post, it's merely to indulge in pedanticism while waiting for the release. Hence the discussion of hot sigs/avatars

Voted 3. PR is, like, a computer game, right?
More guns and bullets make bad guys go away faster,
which in turn makes everyone in the area safer.

Re: Will .8 be the biggest PR release ever?
I'm still waiting for real mobile artillery. Like the M270 MLRS, M109 Paladin, BM-21 Grad and 2-S1 Gvodzika.
Even small naval vessels like patrol boats with a extra armament. Along with a map that is focused around river combat with flag zones close to the shoreline, and I don't mean Qwai River. Something that has a larger variety of canals and waterways and would be fitting for U.S. forces against the PLA.
Still waiting on the return of the UAV where it will only display enemy vehicles in a large radius. Maybe even modify the Command Post (UAV trailer) to allow a user to enter the command post and actually "fly" the UAV around for scouting purposes and can be shot down like any other aircraft. Afterall, the attack helos once had TV guided missles with a "life timer" before the missle would reach it's outer limits and detonate. Same can be applied to a UAV with a camera that can be pivoted to spot targets below.
Something already exists similar to a controllable UAV, so it is still a possibility. Click here.
Still waiting for more objective based maps rather than AAS. Something that emphasizes the importance of defending an objective like a communication tower (Like the one seen on the map "Sunset City" in the PLA main. <Which is destroyable might I add.>) or a radar dish. Possibly a cluster of fixed artillery that needs to be demolished in order to succeed in winning the map. All these items are already at hand, just needs to be worked into the game in some fashion. Kind of like trying to destroy caches in an insurgency map, but with higher value targets instead against a larger military faction.
And whatever you do... Don't click here.
Many more things can be mentioned, but beating these details into the ground are not needed. I'm sure that v0.8 will remain a crowd pleaser for the most part. As long as more ground breaking advancements are made, PR will get better and better.
