Looking good. I like the way that they call it a 'booster pack' - in other words, we can't be arsed making a full expansion pack!

Only downloadable from EA? Hmmmm. Does this mean it will be cheaper?!

Not really mithered about the EuroFighter, but I wouldn't mind giving the tanks and the new chopper a try...

still need to buy Spec Forces

 

[Chris n nic]

They are a right bunch of con artists at EA....releasing small addons etc and making a fortune...then release smaller updates that require you to buy the others 1st!

Prefer it if they sorted out 1.2.1 before they released EU Force like they said they would...some of the bugs in 1.2.0 are really annoying the hell out of me!

What bugs have you come across, I know i dont play it that much so might not have come across them yet, only thing ive noticed is that some of teh shadows in the game look so s**t its unreal, not all only certain ones, like when your in a tank and using the gun ontop the shadows are like huge jaggys. Maybe this is the game???

Now I've installed 1.2.1 the mouse arrow will freeze on the map loading screen and will still be visible when playing the game, not good if it is in the middle of the screen!

Doesn't happen when playing offline only online. Oh, is it supposed to update the version number on the main screen?

This is out now guys. I downloaded it at a cost of £5.99 (its about 325MB in size). Haven't tried it yet, but from the people who seem to have got it working ok (!?) - it generally gets the thumbs up.

Some of the unlocks look cool....

Marty - it does show your version number in the lower right-hand side of the screen, m8.

its cheap and cheerful

but if you wanted "infantry" maps stay clear! all the maps are hardware based (IE tanks, planes, AA etc etc) only real CQB combat map is Great Wall Of China.

BUT, Its a lot less *laggy" and "Jerky" it seems very smooth. it IS worth the £5:99

our server is running it now

Thanks for the IP and port details again Neb. I'll probably bob on at some point over the weekend.
