    Will we see patch notes like this for 2142?

    I just looked at the patch notes for the last Vietnam patch and i was surprised about what i saw. Plenty of patches have come out for 2142 yet none look as good as this one from BF Vietnam.


    ================================================== ================
    NEW CONTENT AND FEATURES SINCE 1.0
    ================================================== ================

    -- 3 new maps in Patch 1.2:
    -- Operation Cedar Falls is a new map that introduces tunnels to BFV.
    Minimap changes when inside tunnels, and teammate icons only appear
    if they are on the minimap the player is currently viewing (ie above
    ground or tunnels). Tunnel flags appear in the minimap as vertical flags,
    differentiating them from the regular horizontal flag.

    -- Saigon 1968. Based during the Tet Offensive, the NVA have tunneled
    into the Saigon Sewer system in an effort to overtake the Presidential Palace.

    -- Fall of Saigon. It's spring 1975, and the NVA are moving quickly to
    attack Saigon as the USA is finishing the final evacuations from Vietnam.

    -8 vehicles are new in Patch 1.2:
    -- The A1 Skyraider in 2 versions; one for anti-infantry (MGs and napalm),
    and the other for anti-vehicle attacks (bombs and missiles).
    -- The Ontos is a new USA tank that can fire 1 round from it's 6 cannon sequentially,
    or it can empty all 6 at once.
    -- The BRDM Malyutka Complex is an NVA amphibious vehicle that fires
    wire-guided missiles. Once fired, the player camera is attached to the missile.
    The controlis similar to an airplane. Right-clicking will detonate the missile.
    -- Quad 0.50 MG is a static machine gun emplacement with 4 powerful cannons. A 360
    degree rotation and a thick bullet shield make it a great option for clearing the
    skies of enemy targets.
    -- T-72 is a heavy NVA tank. The driver fires tank shells with primary fire, and
    shoots a machine gun as secondary fire. The gunner fires the canopy machine gun
    with primary fire, and shoots out smoke grenades with secondary fire.
    -- AC-47 Gunship. Heavy transport/gunship with coaxial chain guns out the left side.
    The pilot can drop bombs with primary fire.
    -- M35A1 Nancy. A flatbed truck with a Quad 0.50 MG mounted in the back, an M60
    facing to the front, and a couple armed passengers for good measure.
    -- BM21 Troop Transport. A BM21 truck with armed passenger positions filling the back.

    LMAO dont think bf2 even got that much new stuff like vehicles in a patch (expansions yes)

    prob more vehicle types mean more vehicle whores which mean even more balance issues

      thats before they got greedy and wanted more money so they made booster packs.

      I hate the lame rank and stats now, cause people don't make maps like they used to for 1942 and BFV cause custom maps cant be ranked

        Wow.......
        Didn't DICE even make a patch for 1942 that added a new army?

        So is DICE or EA the greedy ones? I wondered what would've happened if EA never bought DICE....

          Yeah, that's the feeling i got. In the beginning they were trying to get ppl to play they're game and keep the customers happy by providing free content but now it seems they can care less and want to sell anything new they come out with. I'm surprised we got Highway Tampa for free.

              Brings back fond memories of BFV. BF2 did have some major weapon and gameplay tweaks, but nothing compares to how much raw content the Vietnam patches provided.

                They had tunnels? That's awsome! Why can't we have tunnels or massive underground caverns for hidden bases and stuff...

                  Well, mostly because EA are d1cks. But thats just my opinion.

                  Plus the DICE guys are so crappy at coding they will probably make the game crash.

                      This is the second thread where I've seen you state that. Would love to know what you base this on?

                      Or is the glass always half empty for you?

                        Because the gunship whores can't fly underground

                          Did EA buy DICE before or after BFV came out?

                            I don't think EA bought DICE until a fair bit of time after BF2 came out.
