It sounds stupid to me

they have been reading about QW:ET lol

this sounds like change for the sake of change, and quite rubbish

I like the patch for the most part but I don't agree with these gameplay changes. Why do they keep changing the game every other month? Why not just fix the frickin' problems and improve the performance? The air-drop vehicles is gonna be wierd. So now we can drop a hummvee on top of a building in Karkand and mow down troops/vehicles as they roam about? I don't get this addition AT ALL and I don't remember reading a lot of requests for this to be added. I really hope the bug fixes ACTUALLY fix bugs this time.

Co-op? did i miss something? what have we been doing all this time, as for airdrop veicals... ... ...

Yes, Re0sLess, you missed something. The patch is talking about co-op in single player/local LAN mode.

I just want to see the "other" parts of the patch that they haven't mentioned, what other crappy additions will they have ?

I dont see a problem with vehicle drops, I presume there will be areas on maps that you will not be able to drop a vehicle ie roofs ect.

area's of the map isn't my problem it's the fact that someone can just go "Hey, a tank weeee" etc and then own you in the face with it - but we'll have to see how it plays out. It might work.

at least AA nolonger tracks freindlies [no more tking a bh full of noobs just because the jet used flares ]

It just sounds wierd, it seems to overstep the realism/arcade fun line that BF2 manages to balance pretty well.

This update is just plain wrong.

So long as they dont land on my head and kill me, hehehehehee!!!!!

Before this thread gets out of hand we need to clarify 2 things:

1. There is NO mention of improved AA only improved locking missles from the jet bombers.
2. You can NOT drop tanks/apcs only humvees/vodniks/buggies.

End rumor control.

IF you see a C130 fly over and jeep fall out that back on three big parachutes, it would look cool, but it wil no doubt just fall out the sky like crates do.

What no Cobra drop? , it would be even beter if a black truck drove up and a car came out the back.

I'm suprised they dont add parute drops in too, the cmdr adds point and for x seconds you can skydive in.

Seeing a C130 flying around dropping vehicles would be pretty cool. But like Re0sLess said it'll just "op" out of the sky with a chute on it.

This is a very big gameplay change and it'll be interesting to see how everyone adjusts.

Correction: like Mani said

Hopefully you can just RPG it mid air or shoot it down with the planes.

Doubt it will have much effect in public play really, probably won't be used particularly effectively. However could have a huge impact on clan games, less squads running to points more driving, I think it will mean more flag swapping and less focused battle fronts. I dunno, we'll just have to see.

Agreed, in public it will be just one more thing for midnight to crash into.

Joking aside, I bet this is a addition for Armored Fury so you dont have to walk 6 miles to a tank when you get your taken out, just call in a Buggy and drive to the tank shop.

Reo you have a point ...

I wont be buying AF anyway

wold help in Euro forces as well saves walkin evrywhere?
HAs anyone actually been back on EF?

I tried last night but my DSL is regrading so I dropped out in like 10 sec - this will go on for another 8 days

EF is pants, period.

I dont like the fact that companies now see it as ok to charge a small fee for a piece of shit. aka Booster packs + Extra's in oblivion that should be in it anyway or cheaper. Ok its fine to make profit on these things, but if ur going to make them wank you should price them accordingly.
