      Let's just hope that this fix won’t create some other problems. BF2 patches are kind of famous for such glitches.

        It would be a damn miracle if their wasn't another glitch or bug added. Even the most obvious bugs introduced somehow evade tests. I can only wonder what the developers did after finalizing the patch...

        It's different now as only a few people are working on the patch, but when the entire DICE team was making them, there shouldn't have been excuses.

          As I recall DICE Canada was making earlier patches. That office is closed now and DICE Sweden is responsible for patches and support. Let’s hope this new patch doesn’t introduce new "fatal" (like CTD was) bug.

            Well, I'm gonna have to reassign 'crouch' to Z and 'prone' to ctrl.........

              in fact, the whole thing blows. I love that we are getting a free patch this long after the game came out, and that it's still popular. I will say kudos to dice for making this game and giving us maps etc.

              But I think the accuracy penalty is a misguided attempt at making the game more fair. Of all the random, unrealistic, over-exploited tactital advantages (and I contend that's what makes this game so fun), this is a strange one to pick on. Instead of doing something about bunny hopping, infinite medics and infinite ammo, no, they give us... the accuracy penalty! well, that's my 2 cents. Again i'd like to reiterate how awesome it is that we are getting the hit reg fixed, the jets balanced and a new map. I hope it outweighs the instaprone penalty, which loathe. I love to instaprone. The enemy's shock, utter disgust at you for using that tactic, oh, it's just so fekking funny. I'll never understand why people who complain about it don't just take up instaproning themselves. It's a fun sport. I guess I'll have to say goodbye to those priceless moments of instaproning which have provoked, to my amusement, much rageing on behalf of other players.

                  It's part of the bf2 fun. I got accused of using an aimbot to bomb people once. Another guy told me to stop using what he called the 'roll hack' = instaprone. I love to think millions of kids like angry german kid are rageing because I shoot them instaprone.

                    Those angry kids are the ones that complain and make the patches nerf legit features...

                      lol @ the people who think insta prone kill should be part of the game.

                      hello wake up, it's not a feature.

                      you can be 10000% sure this crap is not going to be in the future BF games.

                        I don't see why it matters whether it's a feature or not. It's there, people use it, and others get upset. I don't even see why it's called an 'exploit'. It's just the way soldiers move in the game. How about the insta-accuracy you get from switching seats to the .50 cal in a humvee? why don't people moan about that? hence why I find the whole 'instaprone' debate laughable.

                          It's part of the game, and it has been for 4 years. You could probably keep it in the game and no one would make a big deal of it.

                          If you rage when you get instaprone killed, then :laugh:.

                            Maybe they are bring BF2 in line with it's other BF title, no doubt BF3 will use the same style system which I think would be excellent

                              It's really irrelevant whether any of us think it's cheap, an exploit, a legit tactic, something that makes BF2 unique, a glitch, etc. The fact is that according to DICE, the people who created the game, it was never intended for prone to work the way it currently does in BF2, which is why they're taking it out. I've played tons of BF2 (if one can accurately equate weight measurement to time measurement :p ) and I learned very quickly to instaprone; back in the demo, in fact. I've used it, it's worked, I've had it used against me, it worked, so it's not an adaptation issue or a lrn2skillz issue for most people, but rather that it looks ridiculous when a soldier goes flying to the floor or does a barrel roll and shoots while his gun is pointed up at the sky and still manages perfect accuracy, and it was never DICE's intent for prone to be used to gain instant accuracy.

                              And that's really all there is. Whether we as players think it should be in the game is irrelevant at this point, because DICE is removing it based on their never wanting it to have been there in the first place.
