I can't believe I bought a Battlefield game. I am so going to buy all the expansions on release. What have I done!?!?

I dunno why but this looks mighty unimpressive compared to the original release.

Go EA.
Milk the shit out of your franchises.
Fix up your fucking original product first.

Dice Canada (of BF:Vietnam infamy) is the team working on the expansion pack, no need to rag on our cruel but fair Swedish overlords. At least until the next patch.

Yeah, my hopes aint too high for this one. Half assed Ghost Recon aint gonna do it for most BF fans I reckon. If they just rolled out a bunch of new maps and bolted on some new game modes to the originals it would be fine and dandy. As long as they kept it far away from Canada that is. Canada breaks things.
Look at all the time they spent on new textures and models ... oh wait ... they are the same ones from the current game!
The more I read about the expansion, the less excited I get. I would like to see an infantry based expansion. With beefier weapons, a few more classes, and more variety in the light vehicles. Throw in a few game modes that force more linear combat (similar to DoD).

As much as I love the BF series, I find thier infantry combat to have always been utter crap (though BF2 is a lot better in this regard). The point to the series has always been its use of vehicles, and thier paper/rock/scissors gameplay they offer. Unless they're making changes to th mechanics and feel of infantry combat, an expansion focusing pretty much solely on infantry combat sounds like a bad idea.
But then again, I am a bit biased (Q3, RtCW, ET, etc.) as to just what infantry combat should feel like, coming from years of competing in games that used the old Quake engine (Q3A, RtCW, ET, CoD, etc.) - so I'm probably the odd man out on this one, and most others will have a great tme playing it.
Does anyone else find it odd that they're adding almost as many new armies as they are maps, you'll be playing a different army for each map for the most part, and there's no room at all for the old armies. Kind of strange.

Infantry Combat is nothing like Quake.
In regards to fixing shit, the new 5.7 catalyst drivers handle texture swapping and general use of the video ram much better than the 5.6s for me. I now am able to put viewing distance on 100% and it loads much less than when i had it on 80% with the 5.6s.Rabid Wolverine said:

I don't think I'm going to get this...I loved BF1942...I like Battlefield Vietnam...And I really like Battlefield 2, but I can't get addicted to it like I did BF1942. I don't know why.

EA said their excuse for not including a new mode in the expansion is because people don't want it. :lol
I was excited at this first but now I don't know. Reading the thread about this at the www.TotalBF2.com forums gave me a bad feeling.
Is this going to be just infantry in small maps? That's just way too different than BF2. They said 64 players though so we'll see.
What I want is just more maps, including night ones. New armies would've been great too. Imagine a Russia vs. US map in snowy Alaska... and maybe a night attack map on a huge army base in Alaska. That just sounds so much more appealing to me than special forces and ziplines.
When will we begin to see gameplay videos of this expansion anyway?
