your thoughts about the 1.40 patch. (for those that have a working one)

[imported_ATM743]

Well i have not been on BF2142 in quite sometime i got sick of selecting the weponds plus pod surfing.

well i just loaded the 1.40 patch and went right into a AWESOME 24/7 thruway Tampa server and finished 2nd of everyone (good for not playing since August)

i love how you cant pod surf anymore stop all the people getting to places you should not be getting to.

well thought ill see what you guys think about the patch.

I know theres a 1.40 patch thread out but most of it is full of people going OMG mine didn't work did yours work, no how bout that guys.... thought ill make a thread to see how your thoughts are on the patch if you like it or not

id prefer SOME movement instead of going straigh down so you could steer behind the podcampers though =( feels real helpless goign down in a pod.

Does that really happen? I guess I haven't played it enough to notice it. Everything else is good on this patch. I haven't had any CTDs, map loading freeze, or anything unusual. The clark buff is a welcome too. Highway Tampa and 2 gunships per side brings new life to this game.

DLed from FileShack and have had no problems with the install....
Clark is just right now...
Gunship balance is a lot better....
Load-out saving is great....
overall a good effort from DICE (eventually) but i would rather have it late and right than early and ****e

Love the clark more than ever
The kit saving thing doesn't work for me.
I hate that there is no movement when you shoot out of the transport pods
Been noticing that the shields in vehicles are messed up. I got hit with a pilum shot in a tank when my shield was up and i hit a walker with a TV missile when it had it's shield up and blew it up

OH NOES! CLARK IS TOO POWERFUL>> NEEDS A NERF!!

just kidding..

Lots of bugs i've noticed. Playing gibraltar I noticed one guy go flying into the air for no reason and then landing on top of the crane. Also there was a guy next to me throwing grenades and he kept stuttering pretty bad.

Clark is great. Smoke grenades are better.

Kit save doesn't work for me. When playing commander sometimes I can't emp or an artillery strike.

My thoughts:

Pod Surfing gone. I also noticed a lot less people are even bothering bringing a beacon, some use the drone and others nothing at all.

Clark increased RoF, nice addition but I still use it slowly I prefer to make the shot count.

Pod Surfing gone.

Kit Saves, well they're saving the kits but not my kits, it's like Christmas Day everyday. It worked fine in the early 1.4 beta.

Pod Surfing gone.

Highway Tampa, I'm not a fan of big big maps but it's OK.

Pod Surfing gone.

I don't know if it was because the Timeless Camp G server was lagging to hell (ping limits anyone?!?) but it was like everyone was getting one-hit kills from any weapon yesterday.

And did I mention, Pod Surfing gone.

i know how you feel. The only event i want to be able to pod surf is when there are allot of people by your beacan and you want to land someone else other than have them just sit then and wait for you to land then kill you.

cant wait to see that happen in BIG titan servers. prepare to hear complaining threads about it

i never used the beta patch. i just stuck with 1.25 till now. the kit saves seem to work but every now and then one item will be different in the kit than what i put in there

[Dtneter]

mine worked completely fine :P i played a few matches on tampa and got 2nd and first :P also why are there still like 100 servers running on 1.25? i think ea had it so they stopped working?

My Opinions:
SCAR Boost: :) Twas a welcome boost, although the SCAR was already powerful in the right hands.
Clark Boost: :hmm: I was really good with the Clark, but this patch ruins it. I have a hard time breaking out of my routine of fire-wait-fire, so I end up getting owned by the noobs who just mash the fire key.
More Goonships: More occasions when I get to fly, and more noobs to shoot down!
Goonship Missile Balance: Sure, now the Doragon Missiles seek, but they also move a TON slower. It is alot more balanced, but still not all the way balanced.
Highway Tampa: Nice job on this map, should make the 8000 Tank Kills alot easier!
Pod Surfing Nerf: WTF was this for? In the change log it says that you can still move a bit, but thats a blatant lie. I hate being spawned 1 meter outside the wall on Camp G, and not being able to do a thing about it. Surfing across a map is something I can definitely live without, but I miss my rooftops already

[Dtneter]

ive still seen people being able to pod surf slightly and get on rooftops. hmm maybe dice should make a piramide like collsion mesh on the roofs so you slide down of it or make it the same as the outside of border thing.

Surfing over a wall or to a nearby roof would be more than enough for me. Couple of minutes on Camp G as PAC and I've lost interest, apm/rdx/nade spamming and walker camping with nowhere to run.

The other downside is, even if you manage to get forward and plant a beacon, as soon as you use it everyone knows where it is because you can't move away, so it's the last time you'll use it.

An that's the point! rooftop camping is ilegal and they took out the pod movement cause ppl don't seam to understand!
