New patch info!!!

Re: New patch info!!!

imo, i think the commander arty tweak means that the commander cannot get punished and thus kicked because of accidental (or otherwise) tks. he still gets negative points though which is not really an incentive to drop arty into areas that have a high concentration of his own troops as well as the opforce. i don't think any commander wants 50 kills and a teamscore of -100 because of tks.

Anti-Air Missiles - These are now much more effective against fast-movers

Thank **** for that!

That's what I was thinking too. People seem to think that the commander won't get penalized at all or that your team is immune to arty strikes.:|:

I wonder if that means they will be more effective against helicopters too???

I think AA is pretty balanced for helicopters atm.

Re: New patch info!!!

So I guess when you first start the game all the lonewolves will make a 1 person squad and lock it.

The maximum of 9 squads will be reached in seconds for both teams.

Good for the commander, bad for people who want to legitamently make a squad when this occurs.

Ya you're right! Gonna suck joining a server and seeing 9 1-man squads all locked. Can't even create one so you're forced to play lonewolf.

Why do so many players refuse to play in squads?!?!?

Re: New patch info!!!

That no TKs from arty totally caught me by surprise... as did the sluggish APCs while going uphill. I hope there are plenty more goodies to be discovered once we get it.

The link they gave in the post was:

http://www.fileplanet.com/battlefield2.shtml


But I couldn't find it. I'm sure TotalBF2 will have it as a download. As for it coming in the v1.03 patch...I don't know. Would be silly if you have to download it separately since every server running v1.03 which isn't a 24/7 server will have it in its rotation.

They said there was 104 fixes in the patch...but this one is still unclear to me.

Will commanders still loose 4 points when they kill a teammate?

Will the number of people TK'ed count to having the commander automatically booted from the server (max 3 TK's per round)?

I think they will still lose points.It's just that comanders can't get kicked as easily because ppl won't be able to punish for tk's from running into arty strikes.:|:

Of course that's just what I think. It could be that commanders don't lose any points for tk's, but that just doesn't make sence to me.

In all other "leaks" about the patch the two were mentioned seperatly. Its just interesting that they didnt confirm the changes to this "issue" as they have before. For such a "major" issue in the community I would think that it would be mentioned in the official statements. Ohh well just a few more days till we know for sure.
