View Full Version : BF2 Wacky Races - Idea

I've had an idea of organising a race night on BF2 for sometime in the nearish future.
The basic's are:
2 or 3 Vehicles, preferable the light buggy's, race against each other around a course.
Course's yet to be determined - although Kubra Dam looks damn good if raced between the two main bases by keeping to the valley floor.
Knockout rounds rather than timed - So if eight people turn up, then seven races later it starts again on a different map.
Cheats will be shot by firing squad.

The whole point of this is to have a laugh on what is a very level battlefield (No pun intended), so please post any ideas you may have right up to the event itself.

This is a great idea Twisto,
I saw very recently (past day or so) that the dev team on Desert combat has made a mini-mod on this idea, with a working lapcount etc.

I'll find it in a bit, and if you want any help let me know.

I think someone posted up a video of some people who did a daft racing thing in BF2, but it had some crazy stuff like explosions that catapulted the vehicles miles into the air over broken bridges.

Whoa there peeps!

Let's not forget it was actually Phryxus' idea originally!

Twisto just posted it up first :p.

Does that mean Big T gets the copyright?

Yes he does. Intellectual Property is free to steal unless you file for patents. Not too sure on copyright laws though. Positive minefield.

I'll spend some time this weekend sorting this out.
Hopefully have the race night sometime next week, providing the calender is clear.

Event?

I'll get on this asap.

Maybe:

Race 1 - Wake island, from one tip to the other.

Race 2 - Kubra dam, between the two main bases, but keeping to the valley floor.

Race 3 - Zatar wetlands, between the two airfields.

If we use 64 player maps, we should be able to get 8 man race's.

Anybody got any other idea's, then please post.

If you have each person as a squad you could see their numbers on the commander map to see who wins :)

battle racers, complete with maps with checkpoints and stuff, apparently :)

but I think maybe just running it on regular maps could be funnier... teams of 2/3? using the guns on the vehicles allowed? could be a nice movie in the end ;)
