IMO its just plain boring....it doesnt give you the same enjoyment/satisfaction of AF.....it just seems one sided whereas the others are multi-dimensional!

One thing, EA/DICE were to quick to put out booster packs for the game. If they would have waited a little longer (even with SF) they may have gotten better sales, and more people to play them. I think that 3 expension/booster packs when the game is only a year old is to much.

Because Euro Forces was just another way that EA could bend you over and fuck you in the ass for your money, and a lot of people realized that, which is why no one plays it, sorry I guess you're out of luck with Euro Forces.

I agree. Also, and this a completely pathetic reason, the name is simply retarded.....I mean "Euro Forces"....that's like Killer Pussycat or the Geriatric Avenger. It's an oxy moron.

There's only three kits in Euro Forces too:

* Medic - they fix boo boos
* French Chef - smelly dishes neauseate the enemy
* Communications - calls the U.S. for help to save his ass

Kidding aside, Euro was for a certain audience just as AF is for another certain audience and they are diametrically opposed.

I love it and I play as often as I can ... not too many hours yet but I'm working on it (I love the Eurofighter - best plane in the game when you get used to it)

Euro Forces is superb....and why is it not liked much? Because it doesnt have Karkand. It doesnt have massive nade whoring fights. It actually has an element to the game that is challenging and fun.

At the end of the day, what does everyone in BF2 do? Medic/Tank whore on karkand. Yet AF has kicked off with a massive boom - it appears to be really popular. Despite it being on the same basis as EF - with no real Infantry/City maps, its more popular. Why? Who knows. Probably because American stuff sells - European stuff doesnt.

Ive got my medal for it, and damn proud of it too. There arent many people who can say that theyve got it.
If EF had a few more additions (see other topics), then it would be perfect.

And all this rubbish about "o, its not worth the money" .... IT IS £5. How the hell can anyone say they got a loss when they buy an expansion pack for £5? Its not a huge loss. Infact, its not even a loss. Unless you are a tramp living on a street corner who somehow has a laptop and high speed internet connection.
Grow up, and get out of that repetitive, boring Karkand. I can spell a round out now. 10mins of nade and claymore whoring, 1 flag falls at the back, the rest follow. Repeat. Repeat. Repeat. Repeat. Repeat. Repeat. Repeat. Repeat. Repeat. Repeat. Repeat. Repeat. Repeat.

could be is difficult to achieve high scores at EF maps. at karkand any idiot is cappable or doing 50+ points.
many people also like to play as infantry only and at EF maps they always get tank/plane/chopper whored.
im going to for my euro medal so the legions of karkand-only dorks can kiss my arze !!!

I found with EF that I get killed excessively from planes, chopters, and tanks. I like to play infantry more than I do like to play with vehicles. I however do love the Great Wall map. I think it is right up there with Karkand. It can have some intense infantry battles on the wall. I found that I like AF more than EF because of the cover they have provided around the flags. You stand a chance of getting away, hiding, or killing the person in a vehicle.

PS: I love that this forum has a spell check.

Well, some of the maps give really not assurance of safety. Like Tabara Quarry, if you're infantry well then you're screwed because there are a lot of tanks. If you're in a vehicle or tank, watch out for the bombers. If you are a jet, well watch out for the AA. Jets have it the easiest if they can evade the mobile AA and kill it often.

Great Wall is the best ground map ever. The walls give infantry an edge over tanks, which usually dominate on all maps. Mines can pretty much keep any armored convey from entering the fortress, unless someone is willing to take one for the team and drive over them. Getting out and removing enemy mines can be risky, so basically the tanks are just sitting on the other side of the wall while they try and kill stuff.

All I have to say though is that EF didn't deliver well. Its presentation as a new European Army got plenty of people shook up for it, but when people played the EU, they didn't get the impression it was really European. A lot of people laughed at the EF. I know a lot of people who won't buy EF because (not to offend anyone) they think Europeans are pussies. So it's an American thing, which is wrong and shallow. I personally like the Euroforces, and I'm glad we have allies like them. If ever BF2 were to become true, I wouldn't have it any other way, so I just feel proud when I play EF that's all.

So you got folks like me and others who are pleased with EF, but a lot of us want more. Like Snake said, it isn't much money. If you don't like it, it's not like you are flushing a bunch of money down the poop pot. Give it a try. Yea, there are some things you are going to dislike, or even hate, in Euro Forces, but there is also a lot you're just going to love. It's with all maps.

Actually, for the past few days all I've been playing is EF. I got my North American Service ribbon, so no need to keep playing AF even though it is pretty entertaining. Now I'm going after the EU Service Medal.
