Re: Downsides of 1.03?

Server browser is still horrible.

You can't refresh or update the list.

yeah, sometiems it says "0" on the server list. have to quit the game and start over. i do like the favorites list though.

Re: Downsides of 1.03?

The weapon unlocks are way too easy.

I was thinking that they should of kept the point system for unlocks, but allow easier rank progression.

Personally, I now have five unlocks (M95, G3, G36c, L85A1, PKM) and seems like everyone else too. The servers that I've played on seems to have gone straight to hell as everyone is running around with m95s, G3s and PKMs. No one I've seen are even attempting to use the standard weapons.

Then there are the reckless commanders killing teammates with artillary without a second thought.

Re: Downsides of 1.03?

After the noveltys worn off the proper decent commanders will start playing properly, theres some bad commanders out there, me included, I'm rubbish at it so I dont bother.

Re: Downsides of 1.03?

Yeah the point system was made too LAX, I went from corporal to gunnery seargeant in 3 shots.

Yeah, but if they had implemented this rank/point structure from the BEGINNING, before you ever played your first round, do you think you'd feel the same? I think it works fine. People (for the most part) have earned it. I might have stretched out a little more ... but not much.

Re: Downsides of 1.03?

Why are people annoyed that they went up in rank and got unlocks that might have taken 3-4 months to earn? Jesus....there are still higher ranks to get, get over it.

And to the guy who said there was no point in giving ammo anymore....why not? Cant you play the GAME for FUN? I find by not really caring that much about my stats I actually do well and get a nice surprise when I hear the drumroll of an award/ribbon/badge.

Remember..the unlocks are ALTERNATIVES to the standard weapons. They are NOT upgrades.

Having all weapon unlocks does not give you some CRAZY advantage over other players.

The only advantage I can even come up with would be m95 penetrating cockpits..but that's IT! (and it's even less accurate to make up for it)

Re: Downsides of 1.03?

Well if you put your details in on the bf2tracker website and then click on the rank emblem picture to display your rank predictions, there pretty high and are going to take me awhile.

Re: Downsides of 1.03?

I have no problems with ranks and stuff because not a lot of people have my rank! lol

*Your* rank? That's *my* rank! :p

Re: Downsides of 1.03?

I dislike the sluggishneß of the helos with 1.03. The Cobra now handles how the Seahawk handled in 1.02, and the Seahawk handles like a dang aircraft carrier.

Well said, to many people whining, as you can see from my last post the new ranks are no walk over, and I play this game mainly for fun, hence the fact I'm not predicted to hit the top rank till 2012

The three shots did not mean anything, it was probably the first time you got points, therefore the system changed to the new ranks. You already had sufficient points for the update in rank, you character / person just needed to register with the main EA servers again.

Re: Downsides of 1.03?

I don't care about the rank system too much, less stat padders now cuz' they are given weapons and rank now.

Love the AA. Although I never had an issue with it before :), Heatseekers while in a jet Rock!

Blue/Red Glitch is still there Enemy appears blue in name color and it registers as a TK, puhlease!

Funny How I have a better chance of shooting a pilot out of a Heli' with a m95 then when they are on foot :).

Verifying Client Data, puhlease!

Love the Commander schtuff now, Scan replenishs faster I noticed.

Re: Downsides of 1.03?

The Rank/Badge/Medals where change so people wouldn't spend all there god given days playing BF2,some of the requirements for some medals where out of hand like 4000 global hrs i mean come on there what 7000 hrs in a year,so im glad they change it,besides you dont play BF2 for the nice awards you play it cuz its fun and its a FPS not a EQ or WoW game

Re: Downsides of 1.03?

Well...I still got some TKs some minutes ago when our BH exploded in Wake Island...and I was the gunner. I thought improper TK allocation would be fixed or something with this patch...I guess not.

I see I wasn't the only one to experience this. I was in the back of the "cow" and parachuted out. So did the pilot I guess and the heli landed on everyone who jumped out giving me 4 team kills. So the tk allocation system isn't quite right.

Also the sniper rifle is alreay a one shot kill. Aim for the head.

As for all the weapon unlocks I think it is is great. Like others said wait for the novelty to end and there will be more team play. I definitely noticed more AT guys.

Re: Downsides of 1.03?

Doesn't work with All Seeing Eye anymore. ARGH!

What is wrong with you child. Do you think EA and Dice control all of the Game viewers???
Wake up! All Seeing Eye has to update. That isn't a bf2 issue.
It is a "people need to think before the post" issue

:p
