New booster pack thoughts?

If a new booster were to be announced, what would you like it to be? New content like a new faction, different theme like jet warfare, or just a bunch of different stuff? Well, if there were another faction to be added, maybe a South American Coalition that is invading the United States and Mexico (I would just think that maybe North America would be allies in this world war). I see that as logical because from the looks of it, the US is losing the war and SA wants to be buddies with the victors. But hey, many South American nations may not have highly advanced or well trained armies, but just think if they were like MEC and pooled all their money to buy Russian equipment. It would be cool if it included two in the US and two in SA.

So if it were naval themed, would you like maybe the PLA or USMC to have spawn points from destroyers or cruise ships? The USMC always has a carrier, but how many times can the Essex be around? It's probably been sunk already. One map may have no land at all, and it's all about fighting on some oil rigs in the Gulf of Mexico or something, with a lot of smoking ships that have been destroyed. Oil platforms can be turned into heli pads and such. Another map may have a bunch of tiny island where only boats and transport helis allow the only transport (unless you swim, but yea watch for snipers). Everglades? This would mean fewer tanks, maybe some APCs, but mainly infantry walls and storming with infantry.

Or, maybe no more boosters. Any feedback would be ok.

if EA announced a new booster before they announced a patch that will fix all the bugs in the game I would be very annoyed, angry, and frustrated. I have not purchased any of the expansions/boosters and I don't plan to unless EA/DICE redeem themselves with a huge fix. Until then I will stick with vanilla bf2, because even though it is seriously flawed it is one fun game.

I like those ideas , they could also do some EU vs PLA/MEC in Europe. The Chinese/MEC attack into eastern Europe and the EU must push them back. They could have some nice maps in there, and maybe even some WWII remakes.

NO NO NO NO NAVAL!!!!

If you played much BF1942 you'll remember the carrier-beaching that tards often did on Wake, Iwo Jima etc...and BF2 has a LOT more tards!!

Let's just think in a pretend world that everything is fixed. The lag in both boosters, the tiger flipping all over, the eurofighter being too hard to take down etc. It's all fixed! We live in a perfect world except it could be a little spicier. So... what now?

+1. Another pack before big fixes and I'm quitting bf2.

Hey thanks. Nothing like maybe some hedgerow fighting or a nice urban combat setting. The Euro side could see more action that's all. +1, or -1 if you prefer.

I've never played the 1942 series. So if there are good maps in Europe, yea do a remake. I have some questions though.

Can you destroy the carriers? I was thinking that maybe there could be like 3 destroyers or cruisers in a map. You could move them (not the most mobile) but they could be destroyed. They would respawn but it would take a while, so it would be wise for the team not to lose them.

And the carrier you can't drive. They server as a spawn point, but more naval oriented. More boats and maybe some APCs would be nice. I do think that boats should have a slight increase in armor and speed, just to make them more practical and not a death trap like in wake :-p

yup, in 1942 the carriers could be destroyed. It was awesome to use the torpedo planes to sink one of those monsters... actually it was also fun to be on the carrier when it was sinking

Sounds like it would be a major defeat for the team. My idea wouldn't be like that. Something smaller like a destroyer so it would spawn back if destroyed. Does BF1942 handle clunky? I played Enemy Territoy and that feels really crudy. Just wondering.

The booster pack should have maps like "Lock-up-less bay" "Chopper whore alley" and "Tank-Spank Valley"

well, the carriers were pretty slow and didn't exactly turn on a dime, but I suppose thats realistic. The destroyers were a little more nimble. All of the ships and submarines and such respawned if I remember correctly. I may have to go back and play 1942, I really miss it.

I just want a mini Normandy invasion, with more APCs and RIBs and less Blackhawks. Of course, it's not going to be unfair where a bunch of MGs are put up to mow down invading troops, cause that would suck.

This is stuff I've come up with so far, but most South American armies don't have a lot of modern equipment. Most are using Vietnam era stuff, which isn't up to snuff. In this fictional war, we could say all South American nations banded together, increased how much of their GDP went into armed forces, and bought whatever they lacked to become the SAC.

If anyone wants to add to it, feel free. I'm just brain storming, but it will probably never happen. Tell me what you think.

Shhh, stop giving those grubby bastards ideas! Jk- thats a pretty good kit and vehicle list you've came up with. But seriously, someone could probably make this into a mod instead.

Something that has to deal with air battles would be cool I guess... I dunno... maybe? Not sure what another booster pack idea would be, unless they do some kind of knockoff attempt of CS, which I wouldn't doubt they'd do, and make something that has to deal with indoor, close quarter type fighting...

Not sure, the potential's vague and out there really, if it'll even happen.
