Havn't seen anyone else metion this around here so I figured I'd bring it up. http://pc.ign.com/articles/632/632446p1.html

Looks interesting, ESPECIALLY the zip line and grappling hook. Anyone else smell fast roping from the B-Hawk at long last? :rockon:

Wow, and this is due in the fall? I sure hope they get all the bugs in that worked and...and in the current BF2 for that matter. Other than that it looks sweet.

ZIP LINES? HUZZAH!!!

I HATE THE PARACHUTE. It's SOOO stupid. In a game that looks and feels so much like an action movie it's stupid to have guys jumping off buildings and stuff. It also encourages poor chopper piloting. I know you could turn them off on each server on previous versions of BF or DC or whatever.

How much cooler would it be for a BH to have to hover and then drop the guys down on lines? That would be sweeeeeet.

Aah, dammit. They're talking about zip-lining from rope to rope. I thought they were talking about out of choppers. :x

Aye. While fast roping isn't specifically stated, as long time BFers will agree, fast roping has been a want of the BF community scince the early DC days. However, with the BF42 and BFV engines, it was not possible. Now with the advent of grappling hook with a line you deploy then climb up and down, it's not much of a leap to lines out of a B-Hawk. If not in the expansion (which I'd honestly be shocked not to see it in there), I'm 100% shure it'll be in a mod(Three cheers for POE :thumbsup: )

They got rid of a lot of stuff that they were working on and some that they were nearly finished with. Like the Supply Lines mode and the 128 player maps. Both of which are still installed with the retail CD/DVD, how lazy of EA to not remove what they are finished with.

Im kinda disappointed with BF2SF, they should have waited a bit longer, Its too early for a expansion right now. Just like Battlefield Road to Rome, that game SUCKED, it had no special features...
and 1 thing i HATE is dark maps and their bringing the dark maps back :(
their gonna charge us 39$ for a zip line and some other maps.... thats not right :(
this should be a patch not a expansion :crazy:

I think BF2 SF sounds pretty damn good actually. I think ground combat situations aren't done that well overall for most maps in this game, and I'm hoping BF2 SF will improve that.

A few more articles on it.
