My big problem with this is the fact that all of this "new content" (and there sure isn't much) was probably ready to go before the game released, and the only reason they didn't put it in the game was so they could release it later and make more money of of it. You guys remember the Special Forces "expansion" for BF2, some of that content was supposed to be in the regular game, but mysteriously got cut, and then just "happened" to show up in an expansion.

I too can only hope that they will update the codebase, and possibly re-add some features like triggerables (one of the good things that came out of Special Forces), but I doubt that they will because I'm sure they would have mentioned something that significant in the press release.

Its only an extension of the core game, no code or anything. Its the same as the 2 BF2 booster packs

Hopefully they'll update the codebase which we can recycle to create some new features that aren't in currently, but I doubt it. Most likely either nothing will come of it that affects us or something will break and we'll have to work around things again.

LOL, porting too a booster pack.

Firstly why would we port; to get 10 new unlocks that are irrelvant to SW weaponary; No, to get to vehicles that are irralivant to SW vehicles; no, to get a new map or 2 that are irrelvant to SW; no.

I think you get the idea.

I don't think they will and last thing i herd is that EA don't really like people using stuff from there expansion/booster pack to mod with

I very much hope first strike will not be moved onto this when it comes out. I’m sick of EA releasing expansions that should be free add-ons. I played special forces and euro force for about twenty minutes before I got sick of them.
