- A look at bf2 before its release.
Though they removed some things, the maps on which the colours look different is probably just because they turned off the fog, but seems cool to me
The original Mashtuur and Karkand look sooooo sweet. I wonder if they still exist somewhere in the EA archives.
No, its not because they turned off fog. This is what I thought at first, but saw a newer looking version of kark with no fog, yet the colors were the same. Ill try to post them.
90% of those pics aren't working.....
K now they are. My computer is fuxxd. The original game woul dhave looked and been infinity times greater than bf2 right now. Those pics looks so much better than what we have right now.

As some know, Ive posted some pics from a website in thato other that shows screenshots and pics before bf2 was released. While it was still in testing. And the interesting things were that maps were totally different looking, there were a few new toys , and some maps have features that they dont now. So, enjoy the pics. Im making a new thread with the same pics for better reference, etc. More pics to come as well.
First off, the vanilla section:
The bigger, original Mashtuur.

Karkand totally different in terms of colors etc.

Notice the m82 Icon for sniper unlock and simrad icon for specops

Now, a nice toy I found in the renders section that I think would absolutely be so fun to use on maps such as Wake.
LCAC BABY!!!!!!!!

Now the SF Section: First off, the goodies that werent included in SF. First off, to let you understand why these were originally in Sf, SF was originally designed so that players could swim underwater, now, the pics.

I cant get over how good the original Mashtuur looks. I think that would have been the outright greatest map ever. The urban feel was so dense and the tanks were balanced perfectly by the tight spaces, the ability to get on roof tops and the presence of presicion bombing.
I really need to play tha map.
I also noticed that in several first-person and in-game screenshots, US is always blue and PLA/MEC always red, a la BF1942.
This had been brought up earlier, but seems theres still some people not aware of it.Iron_Sentinel wrote:

This map is called Divided City.
Download at Filefront
No jets though, just urban
My state was founded by Batman. Your opinion is invalid.
Nice research man!!
Oh btw, if anybody wants to look at ALL the pics...go to...
http://www.tdg.sohosted.com/battlefield2/
click on screenshots for the pics. NOTE: Not all of them are of older version maps, some of them are newer as well. Like Karkand with the dust and everything.

it would of been so much cooler if they had the blackhawks at karkand (it would of killed in 1.12) and the spear guns and poision gas in SF and all the other cool stuff...

Ive also been trying to find possible info or pics about the 2 SF maps that werent included. Anybody else find any? Just curious
I just came across some old BF2 videos. I won't start a new thread, just revive this one from eagles1106.
Sorry if it's been posted already.
I think they were made by Dice, perhaps as promotional.
BF2 Air Combat Clip seems to be Oman. Is the carrier closer to land here? Also different chopper sounds and voices, the MEC base is slightly different. More buildings, UAV in different place.
BF2 Missile moment is Zatar. Blackhawk looks like it has missiles? I don't think pilot fires them though, so maybe its just a cosmetic design feature that they dropped.
Chase Through The Wetlands actually makes Zatar look fun.
Battle in Mashtuur is cool. Check out the cars, with anti-theft alarm! Tank rolls out through a fence that isn't there now, in fact it reminds me more of a building at Sharqi between TV and Construction. The BH is here again, and I think the pilot does get a kill here, so those probably are missiles that never made it to the retail version. And of course planes at Mashtuur!
Ground Combat Clip Definately a beta battle, many differences.
ENJOY!!!!!!!!

Shame the laser designators got removed, and only half the sound file is used
Enemy Wheelbarrow spotted is now my New Email sound!

hm,. very interesting!
The early BFHQ looks ugly as hell haha I'm so happy they improved that! Same applies to the command screen.

>>>BF3 Central<<<
dude if bf2 looked like that id be more interested than ever!
+1 for your find
+1 for your find
I might post more but they will generally be the same...
+1 as well.
Thanks for glimpse into pre-release.
Sigh.
Color schemes + bldgs
seemed so much more interesting on Karkand.
Too much CPU strain for players ?
River in minimap
reminds immediately of glory days of Desert Combat mod for BF 1942.
Remember reading way to customize your levels in BF 2.
Add different armies + vehicles than included.
Cheers !
