Ok, first of all, I love Battlefield 2. I'd give it a 95 if I reviewed it. And I very much like Special Forces, too. Battlefield 2 is my favorite game right now.
So here I am writing a review for Euroforces, and the Euroforces maps make me want to slit my writs. Playing them -- from The Great Wall of Tanks to Tank Quarry and even to Operation Tank Screen -- for just an hour made me want to slit my wrists. They're like Kubra Damn to the tenth f*ing power, everybody is in a vehicle, and I just can't bear it. Every single map is the same massive tank, heli, jet, and APC retardation-fest; the 20% of people who can't get a vehicle are consequently horribly raped repeatedly, seeming to make the very cool new small arms rather pointless (I say this after having driven a tank about 90% of the time).
Now, it's true that if you like sprawling vehicular combat maps, you'll love the expansion. But don't we have a ton of unpopular and homogenous maps like that already? If you like them, that's good for you. The expansion isn't low quality, nor are the maps; if endless vehicle zergs are up your alley, they will be fun, but for those of us who find that as fun as wallowing in a septic tank. Well.
I don't know how I'm going to stomach these god-awful suicidally terrible maps in an expansion that otherwise has cool vehicles and weapons long enough just to write the damn review. I just post here to see if anybody else feels the same way. I guess misery loves company and admittedly, you aren't seeing me at my best.
Cheers (And I'm going to go play some damn Karkand until I can cool out some -- to be fair, if you love vehicles, EF is up your alley),
