Missed? What is this missed? Thousands of people still play vanilla BF2. Hell there are 365 people on 18 different servers playing the demo map right now. The complete collection is $29.99 at Steam. Look for a sale during the holidays.

Hmm, $29? I paid BC2 $19!

Turn off SLI. I had that issue a while back when I was running crossfire in another game. If that doesnt work change the AA settings. Oh and its NOT normal.

Or just pick up the basic BF2 package any time for $10 from Newegg, and with the 1.5 patch get everything except the Special Forces add-on.

 

[Wrigleyvillain]

Complete Collection including all expansions such as Special Forces. Though yeah I think it should be only $20 at the most. Will go on major sale again soon I'm sure.

 

[assaulter_99]

I'll gladly wait for it to dip in price then. Thought nobody was playing the game, since BC2 came out. But now comes another question, since Vietnam is coming out shortly, which one will be worth it? Since I experienced destruction, it will be hard going back in time! I bet it'll depend on Vietnam's price.

VIP Map Pack 7: This is Heavy Metal

Welcome to the second post in our series on the upcoming VIP Map Pack 7. Today, we revisit the single player map Heavy Metal -- now turned into one of the largest multiplayer maps for Battlefield: Bad Company 2.


For VIP Map Pack 7, we always knew we wanted the classics Oasis and Harvest Day. But we also know that our players love huge battlefields with plenty of vehicles. So we went back to the singleplayer campaign in Battlefield: Bad Company 2 to see what we could take from there and transform into new multiplayer maps. We wanted a level that could incorporate both vehicle warfare and close quarters battle. We found that in Heavy Metal.

Heavy Metal features both attack and transport helicopters.

The multiplayer game mode of choice on this remastered version of Heavy Metal is Conquest, with the classic three flag setup. The three flags are spread over the entire terrain. This seemed like a crazy idea at first -- this map is even bigger than Atacama Desert -- but we stuck to it, and it turned out to provide a real sense of epic scale.

There are plenty of vehicles here, and they will spawn on captured bases, so players will not feel stranded if they decide to move to another base. If an enemy chopper happens to stop by for a rocket-filled visit, anti air guns are provided in strategic locations to keep the air battles balanced and the home bases safe.

Warning: Travelling by foot on Heavy Metal can feel a bit daunting.

We hope you enjoy this immense battlefield when VIP Map Pack 7 goes live. Be sure to check back regularly for the very latest information on everything Battlefield. Next Wednesday, we take an in-depth look at Cold War, the third map in VIP Map Pack 7.

For more info on VIP Map Pack 7, check out the original post.

Correction: This Monday, we reported the multiplayer modes for all maps in VIP Map Pack 7. For Heavy Metal, the correct modes are Conquest and Squad Deathmatch.

You would think there would be less but it's still got tons of players. Not everyone has a newer PC or the money to buy new games. And some people just love BF2. It's held up pretty well for a 5 year old game especially modded.

Take a look there are tons of full servers right now. Granted most in Europe as I write this but it's evening there.

And Vietnam is only $15. As soon as I heard that I couldn't wait for it whereas before was kinda indifferent.

This looks pretty exciting. Sure score per minutes will drop on this map but this is what REAL battlefield is to me. EPIC maps and more vehicles than necessary. I like infantry combat as well but it's not the same satisfaction.

Nothing like seeing people running for cover when you have a tank.

 

[Wrigleyvillain]

^ Agreed to both above

 

[Easy Rhino]

so vietnam will have larger maps and more vehicles for $15? WIN!

What server do you guys play on? I'd like to add the entire TPU clan to my dog tag collection.

you would like to, but it aint happening. you can find us on TS.

 

[hv43082]

Seeing how I am the only level 50 player here, ya I will. So what's TS address?

haha. first of all, you aren't the only 50 level. laughingman is level 50. second of all, most of us have had this game from day one and got bored of it because whenever we enter in a map we completely obliterate the opposing team. third of all, the higher level does not imply a better player, it implies a longer playing time.

you can find us on at night mainly around 10PM eastern time on the techpowerup TS.

 

[brandonwh64]

yea easy hit it right on the head! Me and laughing man swap blows when it comes to knifing each other so i can tell u this, me and im combined coming for you would be a nightmare on ur end.

While what you said is true, I'm pretty sure that I'm at least one cut above everyone here. Oh yes, I did say so . No password on TPU TS I assume? See y'all at 10. I'll be on for a few hours right now if anyone wants to join me. Look for -=99th=-Airborne.

the password is 'pchardware'

and i tell you that you are wrong. you will be humbled. very very humbled.

 

[Phxprovost]

im really debating buying this game again, there still alot of people playing?

I look forward to that day when I find my match.

eh...on tpu? sure we get a handful nightly.

 

[cadaveca]

I look forward to that day when I find my match.

I'm sure at least one of us can give a run for your money. There's usually 4-8 of us on the TS every night, playing BC2.

Come see how you compare...these guys aren't talking shit, so if you really area good player, we'd love to have you join us. The more the merrier.

And seriously, any 2 of us, basically can own a map. I remember Solaris hoping on to a server I was playing...

As he left, and I was the top player, I heard him say "oh. wow."



He had 2 kills, one death.

Haven't seen him on since.



Laughing Man, Triptex, Haru and Kurgan are usually top k/d players. like 42-14 sort of K/d.

I'm more of a run and gun-type player, but I usually cash in on points big, as I run and gun the objectives.

 

[TheMailMan78]

Ill tell Reayth to be on tonight. Ill be there too.
