That UAV shouldn't be THAT big lol.

that is just a little too big. uav should be about 10x smaller

i wouldnt say 10x smaller there fairly large, im pretty sure the wingspan is close to 10-12 feet

Edit: correction its actually much bigger CLICK wingspan is 48 feet and 26 feet long





looks like EA got it right for once after watching the video it should be even bigger

The effects of the 1.2 patch keep on getting more and more retarded by the day...

the uav's I have seen were never that big.

Well, the size seems about right then, but seriously, being able to ride around on it like a circling hoverboard is beyond ridiculous :B

Its hard to tell the size when its flying around, I too was surprised when I first saw the size it actually was a few months back, with somebody standing next to me.

Maybe he saw the Dragon Eye

well the only ones that I saw looked like large remote controlled airplanes similar to what ops just posted. I never saw those really big ones while I served. We didnt have neat toys like that in the marines.

wow, i had no idea they were so big, all the ones i saw on tv were the size of the smaller one.

Dude.. that's fricken awsome. I'm going to try that right now.

lol friggin funny video...

anybody know if the UAV in BF2 is the Predator [Wiki]? I would think thats the one, the Gobal Hawk is the one that Beckwith posted (I think...)

I never knew you could arm a UAV, i thought they were recon only..

Both the Pred and Global were on Discovery recently, the Pred looks about the right size TBH (one thing BF2 has got right up until now is scale)

These are the ones they're using in Iraq and Afghanistan... which should be used in-game, NOT the huge one running right now. Which again, is WAY too big. Commander suse these to scout the battlefield DURING combat engagements. Which is mainly how it's used in-game.

The other unmanned style crafts are for recon of an area days, weeks, and even months before engagements, or even just for sh*ts and giggles (the intelligence community might just search and area to get a feel for what's going on but it wouldn't be used directly in an operation).

The UAV in-game clearly shows just a small area, and is pretty broad. It doesn't zoom in and show details it just spots red dots. The craft in the image above is perfect for that task, as that's what Marine and Army commanders used throughout Iraq. I was there and saw just one in operation... but I know of some intel guys that ran that thing daily.

It would be awsome if someone could make a lil rc plane that a footsoldier could launch and fly like in the tv mode or something. For prm

yeh UAV's with Hellfires on them are the future. If I remember correctly, a Predator fired at a jeep in the Oman carrying high ranking Al Qaeda officers, and nailed them all

I think BF2 selected the Pred mainly for looks - the one for the job would be seen by the ignorant as a kit job from the hobby shop.
