BF2 1.50 Final Patch This Tuesday!!!

Re: BF2 1.50 Final Patch This Tuesday!!!

I was really hoping they would do something with C4, like make it explode if an explosion of some sort is nearby. C4 is set off by shock waves. This would have fixed Jihad Jeeping so when you manage to shoot them, they actually die once in awhile. Instead of never. I guess its still no tanking for me then.

Jihad jeeps are the reason you don't tank? Consider yourself lucky. The reason I don't often tank is because the instant I step inside a ground vehicle every jet on the map makes me their favourite target (which is a change from when I'm on foot whereupon every enemy infantryman on the map makes me their favourite target ).

Does that mean the new maps will be available in Vanilla BF2 or will they require a separate executable/mod to run?

Either way, it looks like BF2 will have some new life in it. I might actually play a lot more of it now.

The boosters will run right alongside vanilla maps, so you can throw an Operation Smoke Screen right between Sharqi and Songhua with no issues or server restarts. The two boosters have always worked that way, but what would happen if a booster map loaded is that everyone who didn't have that booster pack installed would get dropped from the server. Special Forces is actually a separate mod, but AF and EF are essentially just extra vanilla maps (and indeed that's what they will be come Tuesday :) ).

Can't wait to see some littlebirds in the air again. Of course, that's more things I'll have to flee from but AF is so awesome I really won't care. :yay:

Well, I played BF:V religiously for about 6 months, most of that time on Con Thien, so being orbited and wtfpwned by littlebird pilots is something I'm familiar with (albeit a memory I was hoping to have kept repressed ). But they're so awesome it really doesn't matter. I like how effective they are at taking out the bigger helis, too, especially if the bigger heli has no gunner or the gunner sucks.

Can't wait!

Jihad jeeps are the reason you don't tank?

Pretty much yes, i can avoid bombs from planes. Just keep moving use cover etc. etc. Point being, i have a chance, and theres things i can do to prevent being a free kill. And not every map has planes.. Every map has jeeps and C4.

I cant tell you how many times ive hit a jeep 3-4 times with and HE shell, and absolutely no effect! While he drives across a huge open space at me. Boom dead, basically no chance. If you're lucky you might get the driver with MG fire, but usually not.

So yeah, no tanking for me. I wont be someones free kill, not even once.

Excellent news and exactly what I had hoped to hear from DICE/EA in the finalization of BF2.

Re: BF2 1.50 Final Patch This Tuesday!!!

The issue for me is more that I've got a 15GB monthly usage allowance. I'm going to try and download it early in the morning, since I'm unlimited between midnight and 8am. I might try and torrent it to maximise what speed I do get.

Go with the torrent, should have it in no time.

Dont forget uploading to peers, thats extra bandwidth. Not alot, but if its a concern every byte counts.

I played it in BF2Combat... at least, I'm pretty sure I did.

Looking forward to getting kicked for soloing again...

Re: BF2 1.50 Final Patch This Tuesday!!!

The new patch will not require a cd anymore, it was like that for the beta. Now will see AF + EF maps on the server list with no problems joining. Hopefully there will be a lot of servers running these maps. Damn, I could see a nice set of rotational maps now that we have more! Love the widescreen support, blackhawk guns that work, fixed prone spam, more memory usage, you can't get a tk when idiots go in front of your plane, hitreg is improved(thank god), etc...!

How do you know that? I must have missed something in the change log...

By the way his post is written, my guess is he was in the Beta testing.

It's part of the "prevent runway grieving" note.

- Added checks to prevent "runway grieving".

Anyone know just how much have the AA been improved?

Re: BF2 1.50 Final Patch This Tuesday!!!

I'm not going to celebrate just yet. I'm just hoping it's relatively bug free. The public beta was really weak. At least here in the US. There were hardly any servers to test on. And most people had connection issue problems. The final beta they did was closed, so I have no idea how the final product is going to look.

Also does anyone know how long they kept prove deviation? Originally it was like 4 seconds to max accuracy, which is forever and a day in this game. There was some talk of them reducing that a little but I never saw the final word on it.
