Have u guys seen the early sceens and videos of bf2?

THEY LOOKED SOOO AWSOME!!!!!

but ea had to fucking change it to the buggy, glichy shitty game they have now!!!!!!!

if u havent seen them go to a site like IGN .com and look at the very end of the video page and you will find a few videos with COMPLETLY diffrent maps, vechles( a winged blackhawk!) and the iron sights are awsome!
the M4 sight was through the scope and the iron sight! the M203 sight was the rail and the iron sight!!
and WTF happened to the blackhawk? even at the back of the box it shows a winged blackhawk but there isnt one!?!?!?!

WHERE HAS IT GONE??????????????
DAMN EA!!!!!!!!!!

That was the BETA.

and there was no winged BH, but at first it did have rocket pods, like the Attack Chopper ones, only less powerful.

the original BH was a slaughtering machine anyway, why make it x10 more powerful?

there were pictures of this posted before somewhere and yeah it did look more awesome, the least EA could do is give us that as a mod or something

Yeah would be cool if EA released a mod or something that will give us the BETA version of BF2..rocket podded -- minigunned killing machine!

Why?

-EA rushed DICE

-DICE probably had that demo running on an uber-powerful computer

-Due to EA's rushing of DICE, they had to cut back on all the cool stuff so it could work on most computers, rather than take their time to make the cool effects and whatnot work on all computers

-The shitty DICE Canada team handled patch-making, instead of DICE Sweden. DICE Sweden made the game, they know their code. DICE Canada on the other hand probably had a crash-course in the engine and that's why BF2's patches were almost doomed form the start (Patch 1.01 had this terrible memory leak error).

-The rushing of DICE also explains silly things from the original version. Remember how simply bumping into someone with a Humvee would kill them? Artillery counted as an actual Teamkill? Commanders got points for everything, and all those points doubled (so if you had 80 points but only 50 were command points, and you won you'd have 160 points instead of 100)? Silly bugs that probably wouldn't have been there if EA wasn't so bloodthirsty for money. VALVE took their time to make HL2 and look at how great it is (asides from some sound+lag issues), and they made a boatload of cash too. Yet EA seems to have a person with extremely delayed development running the show, as they have the "Rush the product out then patch it later, then abandon it" mentality.

They rushed the bloody boosters too! I enjoy them, but still, half-assed job for some of it.
