What about people who enjoy the maps? Your vote seems to be lacking a third option, might wanna change that.

Its ok... Great Wall is probably the best, although the Euros get the L96, making a bit 1 sided unless the MEC has unlocked it.

Smoke Screen is very one sided in favour of the Euros for some reason, havnt figured out why.

Taraba Quarry is way too big, yet doesnt have enough vehicles. If you're stuckw ithout a tank/jet/heli/apc, you're stuffed. A few TOW Hummers would make it better.

Personally, I love EF. Its a great addition - I just wish it had a few more maps to play around with (Ive never really used any of their new guns since its all vehicles) and maybe 1or2 additional awards to earn.
Smoke Screen is one of my most favourite maps, but it actually varies to what Talon said - Ive often been on it, only to find about 8 MEC tanks sat outside the EU uncap. Not pretty.
Only once have I seen the reverse...and Ive got a screenshot of 6 Challenger2's sat outside their base, with a load more joining us on the radar and 2xAA.
This obviously does make it unfair on the worst of the 2 teams, since no team is going to overcome that to make a fightback in the game.
It all depends on the wind farm I find, if you can take that one straight away, that gives your team the edge since it provides you with 2xAA vehicles and a tank. Theres no other mobile AA in the map - and its easy to defend.

Great Wall...ive only done it on 16player size (on a 64man server ) - and its a great map. I love the idea of parachuting in at the start, same as in Warlord.
Its great when you capture the back area, since you can just C4 all their assets straight off. Good map for sniping too. And the only vehicles on it, are jeeps and an AA for the PLA....which is fun cutting down loads of infantry with quad machine guns *grins evily*
Might have to play it a bit more, but my win/loss on it is 11/1 atm...dont wana ruin it

Taraba - well, Talon hit it on the head, too big and lack of vehicles. Although I do tend to find that that is often not a problem, only really at the start of the round.
Its mostly snipers and AT ground troops, with a few spec ops on Jihad charges - same as Smoke Screen tbh.
Being in AA or a tank on there is great, and theres no helis - only planes for air units, which is odd.

Quite frankly, for £5 - its a bargain.

I enjoy EU, should play it more myself.

Great Wall and Smoke Screen are great maps, and the EU weps are very good. However if more servers ran the maps, it would really take off.

Ive got about 5 servers in my favourites if you want the IP's.

2 run Smoke 24/7
1 runs all 3 maps
1 runs Smoke and Taraba
1 runs Smoke and Great Wall

+ theres bound to be lots of others out there...

The maps on Euro Forces are to damn wide open. Great Wall is the onlt map where you can shoot ppl with guns. The Quary lvl and Smoke Screen are all tank and air warefare.

I love how either way you vote, it means EF blows. I have it, and I play it. Infact, I just played 2 hours today

Yeah, and not only does Euro Forces suck, But even if I wanted to play it I couldn't, because there aren't any good 24/7 map servers out there.

the problem isn't that there aren't enough servers but that not enough ppl play it.

btw I try to play it as much as I can but there are just not enough ppl playing it.

the best way i find to play euro forces is to play on one that rotates euro forces and armored fury, cus they always have players on. however if u dont have af as well, thats not gonna help . but yea i have both, and i play both

I like all of the maps. Great Wall is fantastic for gritty infantry fights. The only problem I find is that if one side controls the inside it can quickly turn into a pretty one sided battle. Smokescreen is pretty good but I find that the Euro's have a distinct advantage of getting the Windfarm early and that can pretty much end a MEC game from the get go as both the AA trucks spawn there. This can also go the other way too. As for Taraba other than the bridge and the dig site there isn't much to do except for being a target in the Taraba Quarry turkey shoot .

Overall I think it is fun to play but I don't think it was worth the money. AF is a much better investment.

EF is a great booster pack.

The new weapons are practically the best weapons:
Hk53A3: Best carbine
L96A1: Best sniper
L85A2: Best assault
Benelli M4: Best shotgun
FAMAS: 2nd below G36E
HK21:  Best LMG
P90: Best SMG

It has Great Wall, the best map in BF2, all expansions combined. It's a shame Taraba and SmokeScreen are tank wars. Then only 1 map allows u to technically use the awesome weapons. Taraba is an awesome map for the bomber in F15/SU35 though.

The Tiger is the only good vehicle they added. The 2 tanks suck because you cant see the treands (well, you see L9A2 if you look abit to the left or right). The Eurofighter is a fighter with the speed of a bomber . The Tiger is incredibly fast and has the power of the Havoc.

Don't think its a waste at all.  Love the new guns and the new vehicles and the maps are awesome.  Only thing I don't like are the tank barrels on the left hand side.  And I agree with many people that EA should have included Euro equivalents of jeeps and apc's.  Also it would have been nice if there was more to distinguish the 2 tanks from eachother and from the M1A2 besides their appearence.  Even a different crosshairs would have been cool.

Why cant we use the new guns as the 3rd unlockable series.They cound add new ones for AT and sniper and we had 7 new unlockable guns.It would be nice and 1 new map in EF for Infantry...a city map or something.
