Q/A
1. Will there be any night maps released for the game?
No
2. Are the environments in BF2 completely destructible like the ones in Red Faction?
No, there are several destructible objects in the game but the terrain and most buildings are not destructible. Things like bridges barrels, some fences, and fuel tanks are able to be destroyed.
3. How easy is the Commander mode to use? Will it take alot of practice or will beginners be able to understand it?
The Commander mode took me about 1 minute to figure out on my own. The controls for the commander are very intuitive and are very simple to learn.
4. How do the adjustable sized maps work? Will the maps expand as the server grows or will it be a pre-set option?
All twelve maps that will be released have three sizes. 64, 32, and 16 player versions will be offered. Dynamically changing the map sizes as the game progresses is not an option but may be offered in future patches.
7. Can infantry still "paint" targets for artillery and air strikes?
Unfortunately this option is not included in the release as the devs found it not to be very useful.
9. Do the aircraft and ground vehicles control well or are they like the ones in BFV?
The general feeling I got from playing the game is that the "feel" of the vehicles is much like 1942/Desert Combat with improvements.
11. When playing BF1942, I continually get killed after falling 5 feet. Will this be fixed in BF2?
Yes, it is fixed and I was very happy with the damage rate when falling.
12. What are the system specs?
These are what EA is aiming for but keep in mind that it may change by the release date; 1.7 Ghz cpu/2.6 recommended, 512 MB system RAM/1GB recommended, Geforce FX or Radeon 8500 and higher video cards/current generation video card recommended.
13. What sort of new environment effects will we see? Will the sky be static as in 1942?
There will be everything from moving skies to flying birds to waterfalls.
15. When is the demo coming out?
Sometime in mid-June (I know you all want it now}
18. Will there be weather effects like rain or snow?
Snow? This game is set in the deserts... Anyways, BF2 didn't appear to have any weather effects of that sort.
19. When you shoot glass in the vehicles or buildings, will the glass shatter and break?
No, although you are able to shoot through the glass of several vehicles it did not break or shatter at all.
Stay tuned later on this week when we post our video interview done with EA's Ben Smith. Feel free to listen to Big Daddy and Guderian from DCX/Rising Conflicts discuss their experience at EARS with nearly 50 community members here. Enjoy a few of the exclusive screenshots I took myself while playing Battlefield 2. There are more to come soon.
Please note that the lightmaps have not been added into BF2 yet as it is one of the last things they do.
some more here but they are mostly lame questions
