Re: The new Patch/Hotfix

there will defo be problems with the next patch,
but the good thing is that there releasing it as a beta patch first so that they can get imput on what needs changing and fixing so id say yes there will be prob's.
but when the full working patch comes out it will be a different matter.

Re: The new Patch/Hotfix

I think that Dice has got the message that if they mess this new patch up no one will play BF2. This could be why we are testing it for them before it becomes official patch.

LOL, you do know what their planned fix for this is? Its do 5 checks on the server instead of 1 when the player changes sides, OMG this must be the sloppiest coding ive ever heard of, only amateurs implement fixes like this and im speaking from experience, this is a kludge/hack to try and fix it without identifying the underlying problem, bugs should NEVER be fixed like this as it only introduces other problems, the code must be seriously retarded if the class for each player doesnt hold a reference to the team he/she belongs to, and they've switched sides this value is updated, downloaded to all clients and the colour updated accordingly in everyones view, FFS!!!!!!

For sure they wont be taking requests on what needs to be changed/improved, im guessing the open beta is only to ensure there are no top priority bugs like CTD's or server disconnects, at beta stage all modifications are basically implemented and its testing of the code in a real world scenario, from their point of view theres a high risk with open beta because they'll get bombarded with "the gun should work X way" etc.

I for one know theyre will be lots of problems when it is released, i played plain install of BF2 recently and its a totally different game, its less restricted than what we have now, but i dont care about anything except CTD's and server disconnects

Re: The new Patch/Hotfix

-The new patch will change the server code so that the ingame browser won't work.
-It will alter the stats submission format on the ranked servers so all our stats will get corrupted.
-AA-Missiles will now fly backwards and also attack ground vehicles.
-The J10 will be as it was, the F35 will be changed to have less flares and be less manouverable.
-The other team will now have also blue tags, to avoid the red tag problem.
-Textures will be removed to avoid graphic corruption.
-The helicopter pilot will have direct control over the tv-guided missile from his pilot seat to remove seat switching.
-Some random infantry weapon will be made uber-powerful and accurate.
-Bunnyhopping and dolphindiving will be supported via ingame shortcut to remove the need for manual scripting.
-CTD's will bring up a website for pre-ordering Battlefield 2142.
-Every player will instantly get all medals when hitting the 500h mark.
-Squadsize will be reduced to 3 and spawning at the squadleader will be removed.
-Another new map will be introduced: de_dust
-The Desert Eagle will be an optional pistol unlock, with the ability to kill everyone with a headshot without range penalty.
-Newbies with lower ranks will automatically get the commander spot when competing for it.
-New ribbon for 20 punishes in a round
-New medal for 2500 teamkills

Most of those fixes will probably not work in the next patch, so some of those features will appear in a later patch revision.

Cant wait sounds like a great improvment from 1.3.

Wow thats a lovely patch, I say

Re: The new Patch/Hotfix

Speaking of the red/blue bug. I've been wondering lately if changing it back to old Battlefield way would work. Where one team was always red and the other team was always blue, not just your team being blue and enemy red.

The only downside to it was that you had to remember which color your team was... And that's assuming you go by player name text rather than skin. (Sometimes you just can't see the skin in time to judge.)

Re: The new Patch/Hotfix

What I think is funny is that this game has been out for as long as it has and its just now going into beta testing....LAWL

Re: The new Patch/Hotfix

The only thing that concerns me atm is the constant server crashes. This needs to be fixed now not in August. We pay big $$$ for ranked servers and even waiting as long as we have had since 1.3 has been out is not good enough.

Release a hotfix for the server crashing then take your time on creating a patch that once and for all fixes all the outstanding bugs that BF2 has.

Re: The new Patch/Hotfix

Well typically after a patch they release another patch and everything is sweet tits...like 1.22, remember 1.21 .
