What question marks are you people on about?

Patch v1.03
================================================== ======================


NEW FEATURES

- Wake Island Map

Included a remade version of this popular BF1942 map.
Battlefield 2 version includes a 64 player layout and is
configured for multiplayer only.

- Server Favorites / History

There is a new tab in the MULTIPLAYER menu that holds a list of
the last 20 internet servers you have connected to, plus a list
of servers you have selected as favorites.

* Added a button to the other multiplayer tabs that adds the
currently highlighted server to your favorites list.
* Added buttons in the in-game server info menu (press TAB to
access) that will add or remove the server you are currently
playing on to / from your favorites list.

- Account Login Welcome Screen

After you login to an online account, a message appears that
contains BF2 news and information which updates periodically.

- Stat Compare

By clicking the COMPARE button in BFHQ, you can search for another
players name and load their current stats into BFHQ. Using the
arrow buttons next to the name in the top-left corner of the menu,
you can toggle between your stats and their stats.

You can also load a player's stats by double-clicking on their
name in any leaderboard.

- Nickname Prefix

You can add a 6-character prefix (such as a clan tag) to your
account nickname which will be displayed in-game next to your
nametag in the score menu, in game messages, and above your player
in the game world.

* This prefix does not change your account name or statistic
information (e.g. the prefix does not appear next to your name
on the leaderboards).
* You can change this prefix at any time at the account login
menu.

- Server Reserved Slots

You can define a list of player nicknames that will act as a
"reservation list" for your server.

* The list is located in mods\bf2\settings\ReservedSlots.con
* You can add player names to the list by editing the file and
adding the following text for each player :

reservedSlots.addNick

where is the player's registered account name,
not including a nickname prefix (see above).
* You can define the number of slots to set aside for reserved
players in the dedicated server launcher, or with the setting
sv.numReservedSlots in your serverSettings.con file.
* The number of players on the list and the number of reserved
slots does not necessarily have to be the same.

- Mod Support

There are several new changes that improve support for mods.

* When connecting to a server that is running a mod that you have
installed but not activated, it will be automatically activated
and you will load into the server.
* Added a filter on the server browser for servers running the
currently activated mod.
* Fixed dedicated server launcher to properly handle launching mods.
* Improved support for mods sharing archives with bf2

- Improvements to in-game HUD / Map

* The viewable area of the spawn menu / commander map is now scaled
based on the out-of-bounds area so that only the playable area
takes up the majority of viewable map space.
* The names of CPs are now displayed on the spawn menu / commander
map and minimap
* The minimap zoom level now changes dynamically depending on the
type of vehicle you are in. If you zoom in or out manually, that
zoom level is remembered for that vehicle type next time you use
it.
* The names of players in your vehicle are displayed in the HUD
when someone enters the vehicle or switches positions.
* There is a new element in vehicle HUDs that displays the reload
time for countermeasures (smoke and flares).
* Flags for each team are now displayed below their ticket count
on the minimap to make it easier to tell what team you are assigned to.


GAMEPLAY CHANGES

- Many criteria for ranks and awards have changed. If you are immediately
eligible for a new promotion, unlock, badge, award, or ribbon, it will
be awarded the next time you receive points on a ranked server.
- Only 1 player in a vehicle will get credit for or speed up capturing
a flag at a CP. The other passengers must exit the vehicle to increase
the speed of capture or receive capture score.
- Commanders no longer accrue a TK when artillery hits
teammates.
- The commander's supply drop now has an icon on the minimap and a 3D-
map icon in the world.
- Auto team balance no longer moves players to the other team if they
are a team commander or a squad leader.
- The wrench repair rate on helicopters has been decreased.
- You now receive 1 support point for destroying an enemy commander's
artillery, UAV or Radar station.
- If you have received a point for healing, repairing, or resupplying
a teammate, you will not receive another point from them for the same
action for a set period of time.
- Singleplayer enemies use the knife more effectively.
- New engine sounds for the T98 tank.
- New engine sounds for the China/MEC light jeep.

Even if they fixed it you, and people like you would have found something else to complain about.

\/ \/ \/ point proven.

Re: Patch v1.03 "Readme.txt"

Adn what about the 160+ bugs that DICE claimed would be fixed in this patch?
I can only see 32 bugfixes in that list.. Is it incomplete?

Re: Patch v1.03 "Readme.txt"

hmm... They did a good thing on that "not getting points if your a passenger in a vehicle for flag capture" Because now the BH passengers don't get points... BUT WTF about a tank? Or a attack heli? WTF no points = no gunner = t3h sux = always 1 person in a tank/heli :'(

But great patch hehe

I'm sure thats not a full patch list, and it's also not official. It's a translated version of a chinese readme.

[imported_fvbyfv]

Re: Patch v1.03 "Readme.txt"

Yeah its not official til we install it but if it is just like that EA again screwed us. I mean it wouldnt be so bad but EA gave us the whole song and dance about how BF2 hasnt had the support they wanted it to and they love us blah blah blah...so they are giving us a patch that fixes 140+ things.


Delayed the patch for another month and not give us what they said they would is VERY poor on EA's side...well DIce whoever

I think it just makes the game more interesting when there's more infantry to shoot near CP's.

And anyways.. Too many times i've been the gunner in an attack heli of which the pilot thinks he can just fly around capping flags without a care like it was a fully loaded BH. AN ATTACK HELI IS NOT GREAT FOR CAPTURING HEAVILY DEFENDED FLAGS, IT'S MEANT TO GET RID OF THE DEFENDERS !!11!!

sorry, but are you retarded???

- Fixed an issue that caused crosshairs to stay on the screen when
switching camera views.

that's about the attack choppers. the MGs on the the attack choppers remain fixed to where you left it after switching out from the TV missile!

what did you say about not fixing some stuff again???
