special forces takes your bf2 experience to a next level. and is a must buy for anyone who playes bf2.
the addition of night vision, grappling hooks, zip lines, flash bangs, gas masks and tear gas are a mixed bag of good bad and eh.
to start the night vision just makes things fuzzy and green, it might be realistic but its boring to look at. having to press 7 every time to switch it on and off is also a pain as you use it on the fly.
grappling hook/zip line are good they let you get places you usualy wouldnt get to/ make it faster to get somewhere, also making squad work bttr so you have someone with both of the tools. that realy go hand in hand.
tear gas is the new smoke gernade and it makes your vision like u just smoked a bunch of stuvv. but the gasmask can be easlily put on and evade this, though maybee having to make you take off your night vision, and brings stamina use down alot when used.
its too easy to avoide and its realy just thrown on to me.
one thing i must mention is the graphics take a beating in this expansion pack. it dosnt look bttr than vanila in anyway and if at all the maps are smaller. but youll have to lower some settings and probly not get even the same fps you had with vanilla. ( i had to drop dynam lighting from medium to low/ even sometimes off) also gamespot said a patch would fix this and ea did too but even though ea said the 1.2 patch would fix and add performance, all i saw was things looked worse, no performance increase.
the expansion also crashes alot. aslo there are about 120 ish ranked servers with ppl playing as of last time i checked. also ping is a big issue as most servers are laggy ( its the game) Warlord has been laggy wherever i go, sad cuz its one of the best maps next to surge.
its a good buy, be prepaired for some trouble/agrivation/lower graphics that you'd like but pick it up, the unlocks are good and if your in a clan like me its necicary
