![]() I didn't have much issue with the new toys the tear gas and flash bangs, while a big pain the ass to be on the receiving end of, are quite effective. tear gas, which disorients enemies (Support kit) night vision goggles, which turn the world green and reveal enemy troops in the dark by their heat signatures (flash bang grenades are particularly effective against soldiers wearing these, at least on maps that support it) and a gas mask, which helps ward off the effects of tear gas (again, all classes have these). In addition to vehicles, there are six new gadgets that soldiers can use: a grappling hook, which lets you scale walls (available in the Assault and Anti-Tank kits) a zipline, which lets you get off a roof quickly (Sniper and Special Forces Kits) a flash bang grenade, which blinds enemies (Assault kit). At least the ATV and the dune buggy let you get around fairly quickly. Most of the new vehicles are of marginal usefulness the APC doesn't have windows so passengers can only be ferried, the jet ski is novel at best, and the civilian car just left me scratching my head in puzzlement. There are eight new vehicles included: the attack helicopter, an ATV, a Russian armored personnel carrier, a dune buggy with a mounted machine-gun, a Hummer with a TOW, a pickup truck with machine-gun, a civilian car, and a jet ski. They haven't made the "verifying client data" any faster, either. I force the client to keep my username and password remembered, and I've frequently run into issues where it returns a "username or password is incorrect" error. Switching between "original" Battlefield 2 maps and Special Operations maps also requires a client restart, but this one is handled for you. Special Operations continues that trend as changing the server filter requires you restart the client. I've always been amazed at how, with each incarnation in the Battlefield series, the game browser just keeps getting worse and worse. If you can believe it, the load times are even worse with 2 gigs of ram, it still takes way too long. It also feels incredibly rushed and is more buggy than the original. ![]() Boy, they sure didn't waste any time coming out with an expansion pack to Battlefield 2, did they? While this expansion removes some of the chief complaints people had with the original game (notably, how powerful the air units were), this feels more like an eight-map booster pack, with some high tech gadgets thrown in, than a true expansion. ![]()
