i was just playing wake thinking about how cool it wud be to have waves on maps, say if it was a cloudy map, you could have like really rough seas, tossing the carrier a bit, or for a nice sunny map have clam and gentle waves,
just imagine on a sort of night map (applies for SF as well) your whole squad in the RIB just stopping the engine and letting the waves carry you onto the beach for a very stealthy landing?

good idea but its not gonna happen
my guess is it is impossible for the BF2 engine and anyways EA are working on 2142
i think we will get lucky if we even get armored fury

That would be nice but that would create a massive amount of lag for the game. Since moving waves require extra processing power of the GPU and CPU. At least for now most PC are not able to render it smoothly. I am talking about even high end ones. Plus it's completely unnecessary to have that feature on since it pretty much does not affect much of the game play except adding realism to the game.

Dude when the CPUs can handle the Graphics it will happen ( or make a mod your self )

Very cool idea The Ocean looks so cool on some maps. a storm would be wild. I have been sniped some times just checking out the ocean.

yea it was just an idea, one can only dream............

would it even cause too much lag, if their was a current in the sea? like if you punch out of your plane into the water and the tide could carry you to the land a bit faster than you could swim,

Thats a good idea. Its is a royal pain in the ass to swim in this game.

Variable weather conditions might be fun.

Yeah, it would be great if a tsunami would hit Wake Island at randon intervals!

Yeah then US would actually have a chance no? Tsunami sweeps airfield, kills the players camping for a plane and the tanks at the edges of the island. USMC has 1 minute to scramble on before the spawncamping resumes.

I highly doubt EA will make very severe graphics modifications to BF2. They'll probably just go on with BF3 after 2142, and try to publish a Crysis-like product.
