BF2S Forums AF is fucking great and is in my opinion better than the regular BF2

Yeah AF grows on you.. I love Harvest..if you've read my 24/7 Harvest Ranked server thread. Brand new, just off the New IP list, too bad its damn 32 slot...but will upgrade in the future.

SF is still great, but I have noticed some kids got their allowance money and bought SF and using thier Karkand tactics on it. It's still good.

Come and pile up the Harvest server!! wheeee!

Nothing against infantry maps, but the booster pack is titled ARMORED Fury

Its only "fking" great if you like large maps with lots of open terrain.  For those hoping to fly the A-10, get ready to be TKed several times for it.  If you do get it, you'll probably fly it once and then get shot down by the extreme amounts of AA on these maps.  Specifically the Midnight Sun map has hella AA and any decent team manning them will shoot down anything that flies. 
Yeah, its a decent add on, but not better than the orig maps, or Spec Forces.  If your a Karkand/Sharqi fan don't bother d/ling this add on. 
That being said, its only 10 bucks and its worth a try.  I wish EA made it so I could fly the A10 on single player so I can practice with the cannon on that instead of waiting for the rare chances I can get it in the game.  Its not the deadly tank killer it was in Desert Combat.  In DC, you could use it at a significant range, proably 900+ meters or so.  In BF, with the extremely shortened draw distances the kills are at 300 m or so.  Now I know someone will post with a "I got a 10000 meter kill so you suck" type thing but those are rare. 
I hate the new scout choppers.  Maybe its because I don't like the UAV already, now theres two!  The idea of a radar that can find me in a prone position in a bunker is rediculous.  Its basically an equalizer for noobs. 


Ok, so go ahead and flame me now.

Well yes in some ways its better, but it could do with an infantry only map and the AA needs to be dumbed down a bit. As it is the A-10 sometimes hardly even gets into the game. Maybe this will change tho once I get the hang of it as Ive already figured how to avoid the AA on a couple of maps & am yet to discover exactly where all the AA are placed...

I do love the sound & visual effects though with the storms in the distance on one of the maps & the music is cool.

It also opens the game up a little for the sniper. On one of the maps there's a tower in a farmhouse that provides a view overlooking a field to another flag. And about all thats between the tower & the flag is an open field. Played for the first time yesterday & I ran out of ammo real quick taking out infantry that were streaming across 4-5 at a time heading across the field toward me. I just had a ball..lol

I haven't driven the 'prime mover' yet but it also gives the game a nice touch. Gonna try a bit of road rage today when I get on..

But yea so far I'd give AF 8-10.

If you get a good gunner in the chopper and the little bird spotting, the AA is no problem, no need to tone it down. I was playing with two friends on VOIP, 1 was spotting in the LB, I was hiding behind trees in the attack chopper, then tank spotted................pop up, my gunner lunches a TV and  kills the tank and then drop behind trees and so on. But.....unless you have three ppl in the helli's playing as a team, then Armour rules in this map.
