Ok, i took a LONG hiatus from BF2 (5 months or so), and i'm a bit behind on what happened on patches. In patch 1.2 i think they made the support guns super uber, did they nerf them again, cuz that's what my INI files are saying (and yea, i updated to patch 1.3), please update me on what's happened since patch 1.2 (incrementally patch by patch), if i like what's happened, i'll start playin BF2 again.

Patch v1.3
NEW FEATURES
- Air dropped vehicles:
Squad members can now send a request up the chain of command for a vehicle to
be dropped at their location.
- Co-op:
Co-op Mode allows you to play Single Player levels on the Internet and LAN with
both AI controlled bots and human players. Several new options have been created
that will allow the server creator to modify how the bots behave in game.
Number of Bots: This setting allows you to determine the total number of bots that
will spawn in game.
Bot Ratio: This setting allows you to determine the percentage of total bots that
will spawn for each team. For example, setting this value to 25 means that 25% of
the total bots will spawn in Team 1, and 75% in Team 2. Team 1 is always the MEC,
Chinese, or their allies, while Team 2 is always the USA, EU, and their allies.
Bot Difficulty: This setting determines the skill level of the bots. 10 is easiest,
100 is the most difficult.
- Default Kit Selection:
The kit that you used last is remembered at the beginning of the round and between
maps.

1.3 is the worst patch ever. CTD's, server crashes, cartillery (vehicle drops) which people also use to glitch inside of buidlings. You were better off not coming back.Comment

Re: Somebody update me on BF2
Not back to normal they are in between what they use to be. A lot of people still use pkm's but they aren't as uber as before but still pretty good.
The worst thing about 1.3 are the server crashes which you will experience I guess soon enough. All servers are crashing like crazy.
Then there is the crash to desktop a lot are getting.
Followed closely by cartillery and glitching inside of buidlings. I would avoid 24/7 Karkand servers like the plague because people glitching inside the hotel are of epidemic proportions. 100x worse than the spinning tank turret to glitch inside the hotel.Comment

Re: Somebody update me on BF2
Wel, teh PKM and MG36 are back to normal, checked the INI files, min dev for MG36: 7.5, min dev for PKM: 8.0, it used to be 1 min dev for both. ANd yea, servers crashing like crazy, just went to karkand server, and after i finished my first round after coming back, i saw like 10 messages saying '_______ has disconnected from server', and that's not normal, so the server crashed for them.Originally posted by <<R2>>Capt.HKSComment
