BF2&Special forces

[Cygnus X1]

Do you think when Special Forces is released EA will combine BF2 with Special Forces in one package say around 50 bucks?

Maybe after about 6 months. They'll milk the expansion for what it's worth and probably release a double pack later on.

by that time they may have fixed most of the bugs in it

1. EA releases a game called Battlefield 2
2. Gamers buys BF2, complain about bugs and demand patches to fix the game.
3. EA is too lazy and greedy to release a decent patch for free, so...
4. ...They release a new expansion pack known as BF2: Special Forces
5. More gamers buy the new expansion despite the buggy experiences with BF2.
6. And they find out the expansion also have horrible bugs! And demand patches to fix the game!
7. PROFIT for EA!

OR, there will be a whole new set of bugs for BF2, and Special Forces will be a "special edition" that you buy now, and they fix later.

No no no.
Replace 7 with Goto 1, inc %battlefield 1
So it becomes EA released Battlefield 3, rinse, repeat.

I'm thinking this isn't going to be as good as some of the mods that are going to be coming out.

If gamers could somehow take out steps 2 and 5, I bet you anything steps 3 and 6 would be adress'd

not going to buy BF2:SF anytime soon. i just racked in nearly 8,000 pts, spending a good 70+ hours. what a waste of time that is if you're going to start over again by playing SF. besides, i rather wait till it's been laid out that SF is bug free or at least not as buggy as BF2.

and no, i dont think EA will release a bundle package for 50 bucks. we have already established how greedy they are. they will just try to milk off of having the customer buy the two separately. BF2 for 50 bucks and SF for .....say 20~30.

i got mine for 40 out the door off ebay and i used a 15 dollar paypal credit
