    All seeing eye shows 106 BF2 servers running 1.1.2551.0 at this very moment. And only 6 players on all of the servers.

    This is the new patched version of BF2

    Correction: 5 min later. 109 now

        Servers are suppose to get the cfg files before everyone else, that way they are up and running by the time the rest of you guys get the patch (takes a few hours to update).

        You guys need to go to school or something, it's only a game... At least when Valve says an exact time, they actually go through with it...

        And Don't expect the patch to come out at exactly 8, it's not like you won't get the patch.

              Just enough time for me to download it at work before going home.

              The wife won't see me much tonight :)

                So the first person to get the patch..........

                Who the hell will they play against??

                A lot of 'waiting for more players to connect' i think.

                  I hate to burst bubbles here but the admins on the EA UK forums said that it'll be released after 4pm today but not at 4pm exactly. They said to expect it some time this afternoon but didn't say exactly when (as they probablt don't know themselves for sure).

                            Nothing new there. I"m hoping there's more than that.

                                ================================================== ======================


                                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 t

                                hat 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 <account name>

                                where <account name> 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 <number> 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 T90 tank.
                                - New engine sounds for the China/MEC light jeep.
                                - New cannon sounds on APCs.


                                BUG FIXES

                                - Fixed physics of vehicles against soldiers so that soldiers are not
                                killed so easily by moving vehicles.
                                - Fixed a physics issue that can cause you to be stuck when falling into
                                shallow water
                                - Fixed an issue with soldier armor when spawning on a squad leader in a
                                vehicle
                                - Fixed some objects that caused vehicles to take massive collision damage
                                - Fixed erroneous message stating that you punished a TK when auto-
                                punish is OFF on the server.
                                - When a vehicle explodes due to external forces, the driver is no longer
                                mis-credited for the kills.
                                - Added turret movement sounds to several vehicles.
                                - Fixed an issue that caused crosshairs to stay on the screen when
                                switching camera views.
                                - Fixed an issue that caused the time limit status of the server not to be
                                sent to clients when it is changed by the server.
                                - Fixed server setting sv.allowExternalViews. Setting this to 0 will
                                disallow external views.
                                - Added setting for interfaceIP to the server launcher
                                - Changed automatic TK banning to ban by cd-key instead of IP address
