Re: BF2 1.4 Readme

Why in the world would they need to nerf C4 any more??? You can't toss it like the old days and I didnt hear any complaints about this....heard much more even about something like making the blackhawk better (i wish)

Actually, C4 chucking was re-introduced (unintentionally) in the 1.3 patch. Any word on the F35?

That is funny that instead of taking out C4 throwing they nerfed the distance you could throw it.

logically this should just mean some random deviation in the flight. Can anyone confirm what has been done?

- Another attempt at fixing the Red/Blue nametag bug.

:laugh: Nice humour!

- Added support for multiple gamemodes in single maplist for mods

Eggman will be pleased
Edit - Bloody hell, he started the thread :laugh:
Good luck with PRMM dude

- C4 tossing distance has been reduced.

AGAIN?!?!?
Just increase the arming time!!! Why create problems for yourselves???

- A prone->crouch delay has been added.

to all weapons equally I hope.

Any word on the hi-jacking of the commander by squad leader?

Re: BF2 1.4 Readme

ya, i dont quite like the idea of c4 toss distance reduced. this might mean more kamikaze cars!
and the prone to crouch delay? seems like they wanted to stop those hopping peeps. thats good cos i had this player called Boogieman or something doing it while i was in a tank. couldnt shoot him when he kept hopping around. it was funny watching him do that when the inevitable will still come....
