I have a curious question to ask. In light of all the beta news, what would you add to pr (assuming you have the know how to do it) if you had full access to the source code of bf2?

Now i would like to keep this a somewhat serious discussion. An example, fastropes are ok just nothing like LaSeRs pEw Pew PEw lol. A general rule i guess could be if its in service with any military.

My suggestion would be ground deformation. Example, if a arty shell (not limited to arty) hits the ground it would create a crater. inf and vehicles would all react to it (making cover and hull down a very very standard tactic but also somewhat easier since you not limited to hills only).

Even with the Refractor 2 source code that couldn't be done. It would require all the terrain to be networkable which would cause severe lag unless the net code was completely overhauled. BF2 already goes haywire with too many networkable objects.

But what I'd like to see done, if we had the source code, would be to make the weapon handling as realistic as possible. Taking features from OFP, Infiltration and RO into consideration.

i think in the poe mod they had some sorta of crater that was created on the ground from the rockets, albeit it looked like **** and wasnt that deep would that be a possible fix (remembering having full source code access lol)

it was like our fox holes now, not in the terrain but above it.

Fastropez.




Nah, but proper weapon stabilization in vehicles would be a sweet addition.

Thank you BF2 engine

I have PMed the dice guy about putting in the 2142 code for it "ignoreparentrotation".

Apparently it will be looked into, not sure if anything will happen with it, but I hope so.

128 players

Mumble, heavily edited.

Arbitrary heightmap sizes.

Better collision/damage system.

More view distance but also optimized to reduce lag frame.

breathing in scope.

more realistic jets

BLOOD AND GORE!

Improved medic system, such as pulling bodies, etc.

BLOOD AND GORE!

o-k..........................

Improved vehicle damage & collision system.

more than 8 people in a vehicle

this would be the most ultimate changes ever

imagine a server with improved net code, allowing 128 players, with vehicles updated to allow more room, now imagine the battle, it would be epic warfare

and if 128 players, more than 6 people in a squad, like 8.

Scale 8 maps or 2048^2 terrains.

No strange terrain warping when scale 4 (or 8 )

ARMA style ballistics. More realistic than in ARMA, but the whole deflection off of the ground...
