Patch 1.12 **Official Release**

Re: Patch 1.12 **Official Release**

1. Everytime any game gets an expansion there is an update for the regular version. How else would you allow intercompatibility? So stop whining about that.
2. From what I understand, the new unlocks work in BF2 even if you don't have SF, provided you already have the original unlock unlocked.
3. I think grappling hooks and ziplines only work in SF maps.

So why cry? As far as I can tell, we get new unlocks...

You could be wrong you could be right all we know for sure right now is that the patch came out before BF2:SF came out...show the quality of the game. The patch doesn't address any Vanilla BF2 issues but you still have to download the patch to play Vanilla BF2.

All im worried about is noobs who be BF2:SF running around on BF2 vanilla servers with SF weapons owning people. Thats just stupid to allow that to happen...this is why i wouldn't put it past EA to allow this to happe.

Well, I am still rather disapointed in EA/Dice

just now, I got shocked to see a new patch... but waw... they only released it because SF is comming out today...

I would have been shocked in a happy way to see little updates to regular bf2 such as bunny hopping fix, slightly improved damage on AA sites... maybe the option to have favorit servers... For MAJOR companies such as EA or DICE... it isnt that hard...

Yet, I think that you are entirely right about regular bf2 users being able to have SF unlocks... wich is cool...

Yet it dosent change my opinion on EA/Dice
Money craving lazy on programming prics who put no effort in making their gamers happy...

and I got MANY examples.

Doooooode the patch for the game is normal...this happens it is an expansion not a new game...

Finally you will have to have the orginal kit unlocks in vanilla BF2 before you can use the unlocks form BF2:SF

Special Forces Unlocks
In anticipation of the upcoming expansion pack, Battlefield 2 Special Forces, DICE has revealed the new unlocks for the game. Take note, in order to unlock these, you must first have unlocked the base Battlefield 2 weapons for that kit (for example: to be get the F2000 the user must first unlock the G3).

So it kinda sounds like non SF people will also be able to get the unlocks....

And to repeate again BF2: SF was released today November 22, 2005 at 1PM EST

Re: Patch 1.12 **Official Release**

I don't have SF, and won't buy it directly, do I have to install the patch or not ??

Re: Patch 1.12 **Official Release**

I am currently downloading the patch as EVERYONE needs to...but i will be getting SF in the near future...as you cant seem to buy it anywhere on the GoldCoast where i am until the 28th which we have been told is the release date here (big joke if u ask me)
Anyways, i have a really high speed adsl connectio0n and wondering why i am getting up to and only 5.6k a second.....is this due to where i am downloading from and or the rest of the world downloading at the same time? I am patint but not when i pay what i do for internet....just a query?

Re: Patch 1.12 **Official Release**

probably a bit of both - location and definitely current heavy usage because everyone's downloading.

Re: Patch 1.12 **Official Release**

I don't have SF , so if I get the 1.12 patch does this mean when I get SF expansion pack I have to reinstall the game or jsut the 1.12 patch?

Re: Patch 1.12 **Official Release**

Probably get flamed here but for the past 2 weeks EA have being saying that this patch would do nothing to fix any bugs in BF:2

There have been a dozen threads on this site explaining the same thing for ages now and all we get now is complaints. Didn't you see the discussions about this already? The next patch which *will* include fixes is being worked upon at the moment, comfirmed by EA, and will be out when ever it's ready. No one knows when but it'll come.

Be sure to drop by to bitch about it just before and afterwards ok ?

Re: Patch 1.12 **Official Release**

If you buy BF2:SF from a retailer do you need to download this patch?

[ptegan]

Re: Patch 1.12 **Official Release**

Yes. SF doesn't come with the 1.12 patch as it was finished before SF went gold it appears.

Re: Patch 1.12 **Official Release**

Could we get a screen shot of someone running Vanilla BF2 getting shot by a BF2:SF kit? Or at least a confermation or denial that you can use SF weapons against other non-SF users.

I don't have a screenshot to prove it but there was definately someone killing
people today with a new gun (F2000 or something like that) on Karkand on a regular (non-SF) EA Official Server. I tried to grab his kit to see if I could pick it up but I never got a chance.

Re: Patch 1.12 **Official Release**

EA said in an interview last week that it would be possible to use the new SF unlocks on BF2 servers. This is why the patch was needed, so that non-SF users could 'see' the new weapons.

It's only a guess but I'd bet my copy of SF that BF2 players can pick up SF kits and use the unlocks. :)
