    - With Battlefield 2:Special Forces you also install a new update. With this new content you can no longer play with users of Battlefield 2 1.03 via internet or LAN.

    You need update 1.1 or later to play with players who only own Battlefield 2.

    - In order to play Special Forces with multiple people on the internet you will need to download the most new update from EA.

    NIGHT VISION
    - NIGHT VISON is standard binded to the '7'-button when you activate it you will be able to see more clearly in dark areas. It works on a battery that slowly empty's while use and regenerates when night vision is turned off.

    GRAPPLING HOOK
    the GRAPPLING HOOK is part of the assault- and anti-tankkits.
    You throw it with the controls for primary and secondary weapon.
    Press 'E'to grab the rope and releasing it. you climb with the directionkeys.
    You can attach it on all static objects in the world and not on terrain and vehicles.
    With all assault an anti-tankkits you can pick up any grappling hook also the ones of the enemy team, as long as you don't already own one.

    ZIP LINE
    - The zip line is part of the spec. ops. and sniper kits.

    FLASHBANG
    - With FLASHBANG you can blind other players it is used the sme way as a hand-grenade.
    When it explodes everyone in the area will be blinded also victims on greater distance watching the explosion.

    TEARGAS
    - TEARGAS hangs in a area for a while. When active everyone in the cloud is affected. Victims get blinded and can no longer sprint. use the gasmask (default key '8') to protect yourself againt the teargas. once affected by it, you can't use the gasmask in order to heal.
    It only protects you against more teargas.

    Here is something interesting that they origonally said you COULD NOT DO.
    UNLOCKING (unlocks from Special Forces can be used in normal BF2)
    - While on maps from Battlefield 2™: Special Forces, you have the abiltiy to unlock weapons from Battlefield 2™: Special Forces to use them on maps from the original BF2. These unlocks are seen as second degree unlocks. The ordinary Unlocks are seen as first degree unlocks. you first must unlock the first degree weapon from a specific kit before you can unlock the second degree weapon. Like with the assault kit you first need to unlock the G3 in order to unlock the F2000 for this kit.[/color]

    huh. downloadiing patch, but not buying Special Forces any time soon.
  3. #3
    I think it's pathetic that they need to already patch a game that is not even 24 hours cold yet....
    Trying to DL now also.
  4. #4
    is it patching SF or patching BF2 to support SF?

    Try Filecloud. DL in about 20 minutes for me there. It was going to take about 3 hours through EA.

    I'm just going to let Xfire do the auto-DL... sides, it's about half done by the time I noticed this posting.

    Played tonight for a bit. some of those new kits are deadly, the FS2000 (I think) especially. Combine it with bunny hoppers and you have loads of fun 🙁 That kit gets what appears to be a high powered accurate weapon, the nade launcher and flash-bangs - not fun to be on the receiving end of.

    Geez.... It seems like they are messing it up even more.....

    I am going to buy SF today. I wanted to do a review on it, so I figured it was worth it to get. I am curious about the city based aspect of the expansion as I enjoy city maps the most.

    The patch adds a few changes to the base BF:2.. damage tweaks from what I understand.. but little else.. it's mostly to allow for the SF content to be used in regular BF:2 maps..

    Nette is Arguing If I get this iut has to be a Christmas present. My rebuttal: "Fine. So long as I can play it before then."

    If you really want to throw away your money, I'll give you my address.

    The opening movie is pretty sweet 🙂

    I agree with EC. I watched the whole thing and it was great! I am installing the patch now, then I'll jump on for a few minutes.
  13. #13
    Yep let us know, kills me that they would do this though.
  14. #14
    I am not liking that they added SF content to vanilla BF2. Gives some people an unfair advantage in my opinion because they bought the expansion.

    Can't say I disagree Sarge, but like I said in a previous post. Still nothing owns like the auto-shotgun... and there isn't a second sniper upgrade, So they have those options open to them as well when they go aginst my high-end Medic and SF weaponry. I ain't giving my auto-shotgun up anytime soon.
