Re: New v1.03 info

I personaly think that the game is as balanced as it could get right about now and nerfing thigns will just **** up the gaming experience. All the DICE buggers will have to do is to fix the hit box and I'm happy.

* A new assessment in the ranks and medals which must ensure that starting players will increase more rapidly in rank and unlocked weapon to get. All players probably minimum one rank will increase.

Did anyone see this? It said it wasn't confirmed but still. What.

It's an automated translation. The original was in Dutch.

Re: New v1.03 info

Meanwhile, jets continue their dominance unabated.

The problem is with the sucky anti-air turrets in the game, the guns on the top of the buggies/vans/hummers are a better deterrent to Blackhawk pilots, as was mentioned it’s only a pain on maps like mashtuur city, a fault more with the maps design and lack of anti-air defense turrets. Taking out the in-air-repair is extremely bad idea, slow it down, okay fine but don’t take it out completely, good luck trying to play a map like operation clean sweep when you have enemy jets and attack choppers blowing your
blackhawks out of the sky, or fushee pass where both sides will have virtual flying coffins, nobody is going to even bother using them.

Also note they said nothing about eliminating capping flags from choppers or slowing it down, clans that take over a server will just have a couple of engineers sitting somewhere in a vehicle waiting for their chopper buddy to hover over them for repairs.

LOL :laugh: Have you ever tried using babelfish?? thats actually better then the usual translation from it. Computers are just not great at translating language, as it takes human experience and judgment to get it word perfect (MS and Google are investing huge sums of money to get it better, mostly for the chinese market)

Anyway regarding the "alleged" changes, i agree with Bravo Six the BH guns should be more akin damage-wise to the MEC and PLA choppers, a bit more powerful to signify the different type of gun, but to quote Talus Realism has to give way to game balance.

In every other kit and vehicle type you have a more or less equal chance of winning directly against the other teams version, the only one that isn't like that is the BH. The attack choppers are different in large ways from each other but its not a foregone conclusion who will win with equalling skilled crew when the meet in battle. Its the splash damage that needs to be toned down so it cant kill jeeps and APC's so quickly and gives it more chance to overheat while they are trying to kill everything in sight.

I'm happy to wait for the patch untill its ready, october is only 3 weeks away.

Re: New v1.03 info

Good info there. I want to know how the bloody hell you can frickin well point farm for an engineer and why do they see the need to limit the amount of repair points they get per round ?
It takes forever to get a repair point so what's the point on limiting the amount of points they can earn and besides you don't see engineers point farm.

Patch version 1.1.1518.0

They can playtest game balance and work on basic game bugs while some other guy works on updating the server browser, which I bet is what's taking up most of the time anyways. Couldn't be that hard to tweak on a few gameplay issues.

Re: New v1.03 info

Blackhawk mini-guns toned down

Bad medicine friends, looking at DICE's track record for re-balancing a game this doesn't bode well at all. Nerfing one side or the other is always a bad idea IMO, I would have rather seen them beef up the 50s on the PLA and MEC transport helos rather then tone down the miniguns. Call me a pessimist but I can forsee the miniguns being nigh useless post-patch if they are indeed trying to "tone them down". Last time they toned something down in a BF game was in Vietnam, after that the jeeps ended up with a practically useless heat seeking rocket that took forever to reload and the Hueys ended up with the world's slowest firing rocket pod (yet real rocket pods can fire a whole volley in a couple seconds).

With this in mind I can see DICE giving the Blackhawk a rotatary barreled BB gun just satisfy the whiners who complain about Blackhawk whoring in Mashtuur (while us real players know that they aren't invincible).

so bloody true
i was quite shocked to find that it actually took teamwork to bring down the blackhawk, teamwork?
oh yes thats right something i brought the game for, another fix is the stopping of reparing the bh in mid air, again this seems to be a teamwork trait, but oh no not anymore, well it's good to see that the meak did eventually inherit the game and the rest of us all get a dumbed down version

aye say what you will and i bet half of you think i am just moaning about the bh because "its all i use" but no thats not the case, the game (apart from a few niggling bugs) does work great as it is now and if you do get in a good squad wonderfull things can happen, seems like this patch (if true) will just eradicate team work in a few places and make some things ingame pointless to do

roll on FH2.

I have been following their testin servers since the start of 2005 and they DO NOT do QA testing until the patch is done.... They do testing on the patch but its not QA testing.

Uh, there's been reports of seeing the Special Forces expansion pack being playtested by EA support and it's just now passing the alpha point in devlopment, according to an interview that just came out a few days ago.
