What about more warships in battlefield 2. Perhaps a battleship with long distance cruise missiles (tomahawks) or submarines. Maybe they BF2 team can make a new map with a giant sea battle.

I would like to see that
doubtful, they would have done that to begin with had they wanted to. the naval battles in bf1942 were slow and, sad to say, boring. ships move slowly and it takes ages to get into position, and if you die, you get to make the long drive all over again.
of course there is something inherently cool about piloting a floating fortress and manning ridiculously large guns...

Yeah, Warship-Whoring...
IRNV-Field 3... New School Shit...
But it''s now modern war, so the ships are now also modern and not the old shipsKrappyappy wrote:

modern naval battles don't even involve two ships shooting at each other with big guns. airplanes and missles do all the work.
But the us naval can use a warship to give the land units support against tanks and aircaftKrappyappy wrote:

they can already do that, the carriers support the troops on land with vehicles.
besides, you said you wanted 'maps with giant sea battles.'

Battleship as in the actual class of a ship? If you mean so, I'd like to tell you this: the ship class battleship was expected to be a great weapon, but after world war 2, they were out of service because they were dang so dang slow.masterHouse wrote:

The irony of guns, is that they can save lives.
I think any of these craft would be nice. Esspecially the Marine Corps Riverine Assault Craft.
Added armor, more cover, nice large MG on the front and it's faster.

How about Knight Boat from The Simpsons.
That would be super sweet.

Are you serious? I would have never guessed that?
Yes naval battles would be great but isn't the game called Battlefield not battlewater!
a Battlefield is a place where battle takes place, so that's not a valid piont.
But if would be fun to have a D-Day map, complete with planes, guided missiles, manned navel guns,hovercrafts, with with defending side with mortars, heavy machine guns and planes and their own set of guided missiles.
Yeh, like map OMAHA BEACH from BF1942 and missiles like the guided anti-air missile from Secret Weapons and then we add planes. That would be sweet......

I know, I'd like to that too - like back in the old BF1942 and Desert Combat days.masterHouse wrote:

However! It would be the mother of all whine subjects!!!!! Imagine someone sitting FAR FAR away, and safe from enemy fire.. pounding the entire battlefield with tomahawks and stuff.. collecting massive scores..
If this is going to be add'ed to the game it should be as a replacement for artillery for the US commander on the maps where the US has a carrier! actually this would be great:
1. Brings some realism to it - for the most the US weaponery is based upon precision (bombings). Instead of a artillery barage - the commander should have a single tomahawk cruise missile every time the "artillery button" is recharged. and maybe have the option to replace the warhead (eg. bunkerbuster, armour piercing, clusterbombs).
2. It would also bring some variation to the game - not just the same old anoying artillery every time from both sides.
Just a little input
Over and out - "Z"
Nah, not one, but like 13 or 15 of them..maybe a missile frigate?
And artillery should stay with the Tomahawk, the MEC can have SCUDs. Now about the "collecting massive scores while out of danger" piont, who says that AA can't take out missiles? And a jet on a bombing run can ruin the missile controller's day...

yeah you've got a few good points there.. but dont you think there would be a LOT of fuss about it..
Maybe a more modern version of the swift boat, that could still go through waterways but had enough punch to take out tanks, it could also serve as a mobile resuply point.
they should make a map with the usmc making land fall on a PLA terriorty and instead of the Essex use a smaller cruiser with a helipad on the back.
yeah there is, gulf of taiwan custom map
Id be happy if you could just move the ship on wake so the cnuts stop arty spamming you
I remember in BF1942, you could accually pilot the boats. They should allow that in BF2. Sail them accross the map. Only problem with that, is that some asshat always beached the boats.
I would like them to bring back the map called "Coral Sea" or something like that. It was a purely air battle, unlimited aircraft per team. A team won when they destroyed the other teams aircraft carrier. I loved that map.

now tahts a problem... the missiles dont even lock on to vehicles and boats (except laser guide, but they always miss) ! only way is to bomb whore though
