News for all BF2 soldiers

I was watching Discovery channel last night (mythbusters for a little, was about guns) but anyways, the next show was a new one. It's called Future Weapons (2am EST). Some Navy Seal talked about new state of the art weapons and went all over the world to see them and use them.

1. The javelin - Similar to the AT rocket (the same as the javelin in Joint Operations) but they cost $40,000/rocket. But, this destroys tanks and small buildings with ONE rocket. It's heat seeking as well. It can go straight or like a rainbow. 

2.The corner shot.  The gun that shoots around corners! It was sweet. You flip a latch and it would be 90% and you used a little video screen to see around the corner. And then fire away. One of the weapons came with a grenade launcher.

3. Was a tank that shoots multiple rockets up to 25 MILES away. I was like dang. thats crazy. They had a few of these tanks together. The target they locked on, looked like someone arty'd that spot for 2 minutes straight!

So, these got me thinking. It would be pretty sweet if they came out w/ BF3 (Not 2142) with real weapons like these and update other weapons with similar gameplay. I'd love to shoot some tool hiding around the corner prone with a pkm   The javelin you wouldn't have to worry about tanks spawn raping. *in Joint Operations I think you only get 1 or 2 missles. so it's not like 5 w/ the AT class.  I've read forums and others and I think this would be awesome. I'd love some indoor maps to go with this and some outdoors with and without armor.

Well, you should check out this show too, if you like BF2. I thought it was pretty interesting.

Whatcha think?

I'm afraid that with these weapons in BF we will have some sort of the "tactical corner war", which wouldn't be that much fun. People will have to use tanks and APCs as a cover to move on the street. Just my opinion.

ok, just like they do in real life. the use of tanks / apcs as cover and the apc as transport. But it would add a different level of gameplay and thinking. Not no let's hop in a tank and mow down 100 people and have all our armor be engineers and be a wall.  It'll make you move around and not stay in one spot. I like challenges and I think it'd take more skill having these weapons.

Dr. Battlefield, I hear ya and understand. But, this is also like swat like and more for tactial purposes.  This would be very helpful indoors and what not. But, hey its not like I can produce a game with these

The weapons in Armoured Fury will be nothing like their real life counterparts. You only need to look at the current weapons in BF2 and special forces to see this.

For example the chinese and russian tanks wouldn't stand a chance against the M1A2 or Challenger 2 in real life but for the purposes of balance they're pretty much equal. What's always bothered me though in BF2 is that the L85A1 accuracy sucks compared to the real life gun. (I actually find i'm more accurate with the carbines and other weapons over the L85A1, which is just mad)

I've also heard the Typhoon handles like a diseased donkey in Euroforce, go figure.

Yeah I was watching that show as well. Watching mythbusters, saw the ad, and literally (albeit whispered not to wake up my parents) out loud said FUCK YEAH! THATS AWESOME! Yeah...it was a cool show.

And the "tank" they showed was a german mobile artillery system that with good operators can shoot 10 shells in a minute, making it capable of MRSI. Multi Round Simotaneous Impact.

The "JAV" is already out,  Fired it a couple times.  It replaced the Dragon which had many flaws.

admitted i didnt see the show, but nothing you spoke of really impressed me.

I would like to see the OICW on BF2 tho. helmet mounted hud and all.

Javelin couldnt take out a decked out abrams in one shot. old T-72 or T-80? Well yeah.

I continute to wonder what the frogs/hogs are gonna be armed with in Armored Fury

Umm...The JAV is badass IMO.  And BTW, not too many things can take out a tank that are fired off your shoulder.

i kno the javilan is already out
my guess is a cannon that should be powerful but is going 2 suck mabey 14 dumbfire rockets and either 2-5 bombs or AA missles
of course they are going 2 screw it up some how and make it the most powerful plane for every type of combat or make it the shittest plane in the game

because i cannot imagine the hog or frog being terrifyingly effective against armor. (i hate armor).

i assume they will be single seat, with the cannon (hopefully more powerful than the current cannons on aircraft. both frog and hog use similar-ish 30mm cannons) and retarded bombs, but two payloads worth, or maybe several that you can drop independantly (i wish you could turn ripple off on F/B'ers).

maybe we will get lucky, and they will have guided missles (Kh-29 or AGM-64). i could see the possibility of Hydras, but I doubt it.
