1.4 beta 2

[Salad Snake]

Unofficially I can tell you the three biggest changes from beta experiance.

1. New map- "Highway Tampa". An extremely big map, probably 130% bigger then verdun. Mucho vehicles=huge armor battles not experianced on any other map. Just have a nice time running if you bail out of your transport in the middle of nowhere.

2. Shotgun buff- The Clark now shoots about 150% faster, very fun to use.

3. SCAR buff- The scar is more accurate now, not quite sure how much, but it can stand toe to toe with the krylov now. Well, almost toe to toe.

The timestamp on my 1.40 patch is June 26th, so at least three months.

Geez that new scar is ridiculous. I have 1100+ kills with the scar and i have a 28% accuracy. Out of all the ARs it is the only one that was right, it only felt weak and inaccurate cuz the other three are so be beefed up. The ARs are just ridiculous now

Great... another map where there is no cover for infantry and vehicles dominate. How about a bit of both huh DICE?

[Salad Snake]

Actually, lots of people have been clamoring for the return of big armor battle maps such as this, appearently in older battlefields, this type of map was the norm.

Also, vehicles don't totally dominate, you plant a beacon in the right spot.....

Cerbere, Tunis, Gibraltar, Belgrade, Leipzig... and you can effectively play infantry on pretty much any other map, you just need to do a little extra planning in regards to where your going and how you plan to get their.

I would love to be able to play beta or hell just play 2142.The clark buff sounds lovely hate the TKO shot not registering and getting killed because of it.


And for those who viewed my problem with EADM no my problem still hasn't been fixed even after contacting support.

Just wondering.....
Does the shotgun buff affect only the Clark? Or does the Herzog benefit too?

Dismounted AT guys can have a blast as well, especially with the pilum. A good defensive infantry squad (along with 2 gunships per side) can make this map quite dangerous even for decent armor guys. Then there's the airlift provided by multiple transports for each side- lots of air-mobile infantry attacks, and generally pretty non-linear action. All in all, its a very interesting map that allows for a range of play styles. I like the 2142 version much better than the BF2 version, actually.

Just clark. Herzog already had higher fire rate.

One of my favorite things to do is grab a transport and just fly from silo to silo dropping people off.
