Some more 1.5 news...

Re: Some more 1.5 news...

Wow, i think that you are the first person in 4 years that has actually noticed this. Bravo. 1.0 was smooth as butter, and every patch after that decreased performance by just a little, but it became very noticeable after the first several. No matter what i have said, most people i talked to haven't been able to realize such an obvious fact. Even though the 1.5 patch is being developed by a few individuals and not Dice Canada as a whole, my gut feeling tells me that performance will decrease further... sigh.

Even worse, DICE refused to ever acknowledge the performance (and lag and hitbox) hits, and barely told us what we wanted to know after pleading so much.

First person in 4 year , I think not .

I have for the last three months been playing on the NRNS servers wich are all 1.0 exclusive and full to the brimm with palyers , No CTD'S ever .

The hit boxes are spot on , no haxorors to really talk of just pure BF2 as it should have been .

What I have noticed that they should have nerfed since 1.0 is very simple things .

1. M95 one shot kills - A joke in Infantry only
2.Eryx - One shot kills on APC's and Tanks a little over the top .
3.Missiles are hard to lock on for all jets .
4.PKM is an ultra ownaage machne - nerf it down and give it some recoil .

Should have left everything esle alone .

I pretty much agree with you on everything there. They should have just gone by the tried-and-true saying of 'if it's not broken, don't fix it'. They did messed up so many things that were just fine (except to the whiny noobs who couldn't accept the game's mechanics as is) that when they tried to patch it up with their terribly optimized code. It got to the point where i felt that they didn't even care about how it performed, they just wanted to release a patch to shut up all the whiners in the forum and get it over with before being disbanded by EA.

Is the only way to play on those 1.0 servers to reinstall the game to original bf2? Because i would absolutely love to play on that server!!

youre gonna have to reinstall the game to play 1.0. Try it, you'll be amazed.

I do believe that the jets in BF2 v1.0 totally pwned ***.

Considering I can pwn *** in the jets (or at least the J10) and can reguarly go a whole round without dying and racking up 30-40 kills sometimes, I would imagine that with BF2 v1.0, death from above would totally destroy the game for all those not in air hardware.

Re: Some more 1.5 news...

Still haven't found a replacement for BF2.
Air, Sea, Land, Vehicles, Infantry all being played by skilled human players online.
Hope the 1.5 brings players back, at least until BF3 is released. :tank:

Its all very well saying that...its another thing doing it.

Anyway, I know very well that the J10 is the Ferrari of all BF2 hardware and that it rapes ***. My point was that if it pwns in 1.41, then it would be quite simply unnacceptable (as the other jets would be) in version 1.0. Everyone knows that with each passing patch, the nerfed the Jets Missile Lock on ons, lowered the splash damage from bombs, and made the jets easier to hit. I remember playing with update 1.21 or summit.......when the lock alerts started buzzing as a result of ground AA guns I wouldnt give a **** about it. These days, I get a wind of a lock on AA and I am outta there!

Ah yes.. the old days when a lock-tone was no cause for panic. :laugh:

Re: Some more 1.5 news...

At least with 1.0 there wouldn't be a J-10/F35B imbalance, since missiles wouldn't hit ANY jet. Now they just hit any jet isn't a J-10 (or Eurofighter Typhoon, I've heard).

Re: Some more 1.5 news...

Wish I could say I've played enough EF to know about the Typhoon hitbox..

I will say the couple of times I've flown it, I wasn't much of a fan. It has nearly the same erratic handling as the J-10 does (possibly even worse), which makes for a fun time trying to attack ground targets in the midst of wind turbines, cooling and oil towers and the thick black smoke all over Operation Smoke Screen.

the typhoon is seriously nose-heavy and its bombs land a mile apart. I don't think I'll ever get the hang of it.

Totally forgot about the spacing between the bomb racks on the Eurofighter, which makes it just about impossible to score dual hits on a target. Ideal for attacking ground troops around a CP, but forget about a single pass kill on armor.
