Battlefield Racers! Wait that doesn't exist... EA make Battlefield Racers!

hard to say- it used to be heroes, then when 1943 released it was that, but after finding out about the whole no bots/24 players/ 3 maps thing I just dunno. Actually I'll just go for Battlefield 1942 patch 1.7: super competitive bots that can also play CTF, B-17 and subs in singleplayer, few new maps and maybe some challenge missions a la battlestations midway. Oh and Expacks no longer so ridiculously powerful

Waiting for my 4870 X2.

Waiting for my sandwich. Really, it would have been 1943, but as brok said...

#7 - Posted by: LeeRyder (Member) on 02-09-2009 at 08:49

I sadi 43 for now.. but really hoping BF3 is a true full scale epic followup of BF42.. 43 looks good, but what it seems to have in eye candy, it lacks in map count, number of players and (likely) loss of ships as they didn't bother to show us the ships engaging or being used at all.. landing craft not withstanding.

#8 - Posted by: heydabop (Member) on 02-09-2009 at 12:50

BFBC2. Bad Company + PC.

#9 - Posted by: Nerdsturm (Member) on 02-09-2009 at 16:10

Normandy in FH2 is what I'm waiting for.

#10 - Posted by: RussianComrade (Member) on 02-09-2009 at 18:36

I'll be keeping an eye out for Bad Company 2 and BF1943.

#11 - Posted by: kamikaziwatermelon1234 (Member) on 02-09-2009 at 18:54

why isnt bf3 an option?

#12 - Posted by: kamikaziwatermelon1234 (Member) on 02-09-2009 at 18:59

sorry for double, but i also like it how as of now the majority are waiting for an overpriced downloadable game that has 3 (note the single digit number i know its hard to miss), 3 small oddly scaled maps. instead of spending all day drooling over an odd trailer google images of the real islands, theyre much different. i like historically accurate fun games, not cartoony rip-offs. sorry

#13 - Posted by: brok (Member) on 02-10-2009 at 01:19

#12 if that's the case how could you ever bring yourself to play bf1942? especially Iwo Jima? ____________________________________________________________ check it out- first gameplay footage of 1943 -http://au.pc.ign.com/dor/objects/14320736/battlefield-1943/videos/bf_1943pacific_comm_nycc09.html I have to say that the 1st person views for the jeep and corsair have heaps better visibility than in 1942- though the way you hold your gun at ear level looks a bit bizarre...

#14 - Posted by: EvilBunny (Member) on 02-10-2009 at 06:28

My girlfriend. Meh, FH2 Normandy update, BF1943 and BF: Heroes

#15 - Posted by: kamikaziwatermelon1234 (Member) on 02-10-2009 at 13:54

#13 these maps are SMALLER than the original 1942 ones. And I spent most of my time playing DC, DCX, DCF, GC, FH, etc. Not vanilla.

#16 - Posted by: heydabop (Member) on 02-10-2009 at 19:43

#11 and #12, yes I know you're the same person. If you like to play games that are historically accurate, and whine that this new Battlefield won't be, then WHY did you ask for BF3 to be an option? If it's a Battlefield game, made by EA and DICE, chances are, it won't be accurate or realistic, so BF3, which most likely won't be made anyway, would be the same. So why would you look forward to it? All you would do is whine and gripe about how it would stink and EA would ruin it.

#17 - Posted by: LeeRyder (Member) on 02-11-2009 at 09:24

#16.. What? You mean we don't have to constantly adjust our fuel air mixture when flying? :)

#18 - Posted by: heydabop (Member) on 02-11-2009 at 11:00

I know! It ruins the whole game doesn't it?

#19 - Posted by: Michael_Mikes (Member) on 02-11-2009 at 13:22

Battlefield Bad Company 2 sounds awesome. BF1943 I was but like brok I'm not looking forward to it as much. And there are aircraft carriers in BF1943 but I think there just acting as spawn points.

#20 - Posted by: RussianComrade (Member) on 02-12-2009 at 20:44

these maps are SMALLER than the original 1942 ones

source pl0x? From what I know they're a copy of the '42 heightmaps and so forth, just edited slghtly. And the run-through video that I watched seemed to keep the scale of the Wake map just fine.

#21 - Posted by: Milleuros (Member) on 02-13-2009 at 10:27

I am waiting for a kind of Battlefield 3. None of the coming games are able to replace BF2 or BF2142

#22 - Posted by: superbob281 (Member) on 02-13-2009 at 16:00

A battlefield game where the map is equal to 20 square kilometers and encourages teamwork. Where jets are easier to fly and there is a pilot class that is the only class with a parachute. Where a tank takes 4 people to operate. Where on certain maps there are nuclear missiles that destroy 1/10 of the map, leave radiation,but each side only has one. Where you can dig your own trenches and alter your environment to your liking. Where everyone is encouraged to work as a team due to the fact that there will be few vehicles and everyone must wait for everyone else and load up the choppers, planes, APC's, and tanks. Thats what I have been waiting for since I played BF1942.

#23 - Posted by: heydabop (Member) on 02-13-2009 at 18:14

Sounds nice, but the first guy who gets in a vehicle won't care about anyone else. He'll just want his butt in the enemy base.

#24 - Posted by: brok (Member) on 02-13-2009 at 20:45

Yeah, teamwork was scarce enough in 1942- I doubt there'd be ANYONE out there wanting to put up with the waiting, huge travel distances, drastic shortage of vehicles and fights over who gets to use the nuke and reliance on others in vehicles to want to play that properly, if at all. Also people spawning as a pilot would have even less reason to join the ground fight if their kit is tailored to flying. Parachutes for all, I say. You don't HAVE to use it, but why not have it there as an option? Also such large maps would be monotonous and get old really quick. Oh and having your favourite remote outpost on a map swamped by radiation gives you one less reason to continue playing the match. Wait- got another- spending 10 minutes digging a trench only to be obliterated by a missile fired from the other side of the map would be unbelievably frustrating. .......aaaand so would sitting in a helicopter waiting and waiting for a full crew, but seeing that nobody wants to jump in without being the pilot themselves. Ditto for tank gunners. That's probably enough nitpickin...OH WAIT GOT ANOTHER- driving across 10 kilometres or more of a dreary samey desert landscape only to be killed instantly my a mine/ AT gun, other tank/missile-fired-from-the-other-side-of-the-map. All that travel time and waiting for full crew wasted.

#26 - you ashed, I answered - Posted by: Randall_Boggs_Rocks (Member) on 02-13-2009 at 23:29

#28 - Posted by: Stgchuckles13 (Member) on 02-14-2009 at 15:00

I'm giving all the programmers a high five for making really good mods. From histroical to just off the wall fun. :rock:

#29 - Forgotten Hope Normandy release - Posted by: RAM (Member) on 02-15-2009 at 15:11

Waiting for FH2 - Normandy

#30 - Posted by: superbob281 (Member) on 02-16-2009 at 02:06

Lol. I guess 20 square kilometers is too much. But it worked out in 'Joint Operations" by Novalogic. But bigger is all I'm saying. big enough for dogfights to take place. Radiation would last 5 minutes. It not, simple things would be nice. Like the tank gunners, and I stick to my nuke. lol :D
