WEEAAAAKKK. That's like June 15th or 17th right? I was hoping for something earlier than that.

Yeah, my posts have slowed down since the release of HL2. I've really only posted in General Games, Off-Topic and Films, DVD & TV now-a-days. I remember when you were just a wee-one :p

another preview.
Click to expand...

I'm glad this preview addressed a bit of the balancing. I was hoping the sniper wouldn't have a 1-shot kill unless it was a headshot and I'm glad it's so.

All these previews keep telling us the same things:

-Great graphics to drool over
-Fluid gameplay
-Infantry combat has greatly improved
-Commander mode aspects
-Vehicle combat is fun
-The game is going to kick ass when it comes out

I'd like for a preview to focus strictly on the balancing for once. I know what to expect walking into BF2 in terms of features...but I don't know how many shots it'll take to take down a tank from the front, side or back with the anti-tank rpg or the grenades etc. This is the kind of stuff that's on my mind right now...balancing. That and air vehicle combat. Everyone says helicopters will act like in BF:V but I never played Vietnam...are they like in DC?
 
They're supposedly easier than DC, but still take some skill.
I think they don't talk about balance because all told they only get a few hours with the game, so they can't speak with authority.
 
No, they aint like DC. They're easier to control and master for one. But there are more preventative measures against helicopters in Vietnam, rockets and artillery, they are weaker. etc. I think the balance for bf2 will tend towards infantry combat this time, bf:v was the only one to make vehicles the dominant element. Also, think about the technology of the time in bf2- heat guided, laser guided, wire guided missiles. etc, which will make short work of most aircraft.
 
just wondering as maybe a lil general consensus will you guys play as the commander? the last thing i want to do tbh is be the commander using the real time map, it looks cool but i just wanna pick up and play, i hope no-one nominates me.
 
I wanna at least play around with the commander with bots :) In real games I doubt I would... I'd rather be off killing things :D

Ok. I am a pro when it comes to helo's in DC so I'll only have to adjust to the feel in BF2 I guess.

I plan to do what I did with BF1942. Play through the "Campaign" first to make sure I have a feel for all the maps, kits, vehicles, commander mode, etc. before hitting the servers. I'll play commander from time to time. I always do my best to keep the team together working on flags rather than just killing people in DC so being commander sounds like a good fit for me. I think I'll be going engineer, medic, anti-tank, special ops as my main kits of choice. It seems like engineer would be ideal as commander so you could step out of the command screen to repair your own structures if you need to.
 
I am with you Slayer im good with helo's in DC . it will be easy to get use too

I'd love to be a commander. The cool thing about it imo is that you can play as a normal grunt, but you can switch to the commander screen. Like AmishSlayer wrote: it'd be great to guard your own command structure, and issue orders, artillery attacks, the works in the meantime. I'll be the commander of the HL2.net-clan!

you can see everthing and then just switch to grunt with advantage off knowing everything ??

Yeah, you can. If you were constantly switching back and forth like that, not only would you need a place to hide but you wouldn't exactly be the best commander if you were running around on the ground using the info (not to mention the commander abils.) only to your advantage.

Sure the commander could be a great 1-man army if he used all his powers for himself while he ran around the map...but it wouldn't win you the game.

Exactly. That's why it's prolly best to station your commander in the rear in stead of at the front. That has been common practice in most armed conflicts .... ;)
 
TBI Australian Preview

http://www.totalbf2.com/news/tbi1.php

So what can the Commander actually do? Well basically he is a regular player on the battlefield, who has the ability to remotely observe the battlefield in a couple of ways. Most basic is his top-down map view, which shows every member of his team as well as Flag possession or status. This is pretty much the same as the map view we're familiar with in Battlefield 1942/DC, except he can interact with it in two ways. Firstly he has a filter system, whereby he can choose which of his team members to display based on class/vehicle/squad. Secondly, by right clicking on a location within the map and selecting an option from the pop-up menu which appears. He can issue orders to Squad Leaders such as 'Attack', 'Defend', etc, call an artillery strike or drop ammo supply crates. He also has the ability to launch a UAV Drone.

The UAV Drone on its own isn't the all-revealing tool some people have assumed it would be. In fact, it moves quite quickly and is only accessible for a short span each time it's deployed. As Commander you can zoom in or out and it does show all the action of the battlefield in real time from a top down perspective, but it only covers sections at a time and you don’t have much time to relay that information on to your Squad Leaders, who then have to relay the information to their Squad.

yeah you can play, but it will be majorly overshadowed by your duty to help your team as you have the supreme role of birdseye view etc... :E
 
DICE Interview

How many ranks will there be in BF2 and how long do you estimate it will take to gain a new rank?
Battlefield 2 will ship with 13 ranks. In general players can achieve the earlier ranks more easily, but the higher ranks take more time and experience points.
