Will you buy it?

grim reaper · 11-14-2005, 06:20 PM

Well, SF comes out in 11 days and I havn't seen much attention garnerd on it here.

Will any of you be buying it on launch? I certainly wont, I may get it in a few months for a cheap price but after the fiasco that was the '42 ex packs I wont be getting it on launch.

You fool me once, shame on you.

You fool me twice, shame on me.

I think i'll wait and see. Sounds cool for the new equipment but its gameplay that i'm worried about.

K_Shizzle · 11-14-2005, 06:38 PM

Same for me, i might get it later...it seems a bit of a disappointment. If i wanted to be all special forcey i would play ghost recon or something like that. I just want more of the battlefield hardcore "lets run around and kill each other with giant tanks and planes". Not the i am going to carefully and stealthily sneak past you then slowly beat u to death with a rock. I just don't know.

TitanSound · 11-14-2005, 06:50 PM

I dont think they are going for the "stealthy" approach but a more tactical approach. This would be why they are putting in zip lines/flashbangs and.....jetskis :/

andyarm · 11-14-2005, 07:14 PM

the more i think about it im going to wait a bit. i meen like with the '42 expansions after a while they died and got boring. ill see if it gets any good reviews off sites and mates.

Mad Monk · 11-14-2005, 08:52 PM

I'll probably get it, but will wait until after Christmas.

Dick_Justice · 11-15-2005, 05:11 PM

I play way to much WoW for this expansion pack to be of any interest to me...

NavalLord · 11-17-2005, 03:26 AM

I live in Auschwitz and haven't played regular BF2 since the early days of July, so no.

Trigger · 11-17-2005, 03:30 AM

If mods take code or something from it that makes it required to have it, I'll get it. But as long as mods stay away from it, I probably will. None of the screens or vids have impressed me enough to want to get it.

Caslon · 11-17-2005, 07:50 AM

I would have liked EA/DICE wait at least 2 more months to release this title. I sorta think it dilutes a game that is only 5 months new. Besides, the usual bugs will show up and those 2 extra months could be used for more extensive testing and tweaking.

TitanSound · 11-17-2005, 08:46 AM

Are you crazy?

Theres money to be made in dem dere expansions! Why would they waste time perfecting it :P

...yet.

Monkeyfeng · 11-18-2005, 03:20 PM

if i win some money from my lottery tickets then i guess i will buy it. so poor right now.........

i actually enjoyed the expansion packs for bf1942. i thought the new maps and weapons were fun just that not alot of people were playing it online so it made it lame. (oooo now i see why it was lame). plus, reading the game reviews will help. it saved me alot of money.

Trident · 11-18-2005, 05:22 PM

As said above, I haven't seen anything in the screens that really makes me want this. I bought all the expansions for 1942, but I never really played them much. I either played the original, or I played mods. Unless I here a lot of amazing chatter here at BFN about how it rocks ass, I probably will stay away.

Same here. I bought secret weapons, and two days later FH came out. I only played FH since then, and later all the secret weapons servers were gone.
I havnt even played all maps online, lol.

Sinster · 11-22-2005, 11:20 PM

I picked it up at Fry's for 19.99.. I should have it by this Friday... hopefully.

Gort · 11-23-2005, 01:00 AM

Nope, I'll wait some time before I consider reconsidering. RtR was a let down and I didn't bother with the second commercial mod (I refuse to acknowledge these as true 'expansions'). Perhaps SF will be an exception but somehow, with the present track record, I wouldn't wager on it.

NavalLord · 11-23-2005, 03:59 PM

It is hard to make an expansion for a game which is only online, since mods do the exact same thing for free. Expansions only work for singleplayer and MMORPG games.
