What do you think of patch 1.2

[Kaiser_Weber]

Sorry I know there are tonnes of posts on this but I wanted to have a poll to see what the actually percentages are. Feel free to make a comment too. Thanks in advance.

At this point I am undecided...I think the hardest thing for people to get over is they are gonna have to relearn the game kinda..But thats just my opinion.:)

Re: What do you think of patch 1.2

We haven't really played it long enough to deceide, I'm sure we will soon realize that it's unbalanced or something and new bugs will pop up. Like I said in the other thread I've already found a visual bug after the patch, the TV missiles sometimes do a weird zigzag pattern when people adjust their course towards a target, something like this....

Z <<<This being the front of the missile and the other Zs are the smoke trails.

I haven't really played enough to decide, but the games I did play I was not happy...

Re: What do you think of patch 1.2

I have play about 5-10 maps so far on the 1.2 patch. I think EA/Dice put a nice patch for the masses. This patch must have been designed so that more people with less skill could play the game like a pro. I’m sure if more of the newer, less experienced players cry about what we have all come to know as Base Camping EA/Dice will come up with a patch to fix that as well.

AA is to strong: I agree that the targeting need to be adjusted, but they should have turned down the power on each hit.

Noob Tube: I personally don’t care and am glade they left this alone. I do hate getting tubed, but with practice I have learned to kill the tubers before they get their shot off (most of the time).

Bunny Hopping: Bunny hoppers didn’t bother me either. You just had to lead them a little more and go for the head shot. By taking this out, I have found it very hard to through C4, Claymores, landmines, Med-Packs and Ammo Bags very far. It could be just me, but I think jumping in general was changed just a little.

M95 Sniper Riffle: The aim was improved just enough, but it still takes 2-3 shots to kill anything that is not standing still (one shot to head should drop your victim).

Prior to this 1.2 patch, you would get up to 20 or so C4 kills IAR and the trigger would no long deploy. Now armed with the 1.2 patch I will again try for my Expert Explosive Ordnance Badge to see it that bug was addressed.

Stop bloody moaning

This patch will promote teamwork.
You will now have to work as a team to succeed.(repair_rearm_heal etc)

I love flying helicopters but the pilots who moan about it not being the same need to realise bf2 is not a flight sim.If it was they wouldn't be flying so close to enemy AA.

The experience of flying jets before the patch was arcade to say the least..

Also if pilots stopped waiting endlessly at airfields for the next plane and actualy defended the airfields they wouldn't lose so many rounds..

Stop bloody moaning! bf2 is a great game and the developer has listened to us and tryed to address our issues.

Fairwell bunny hoppers.
Goodbye noobtubers.
Eat dirt dolphin divers.

M95 does drop your enenmy with 1 shot in the head, train a bit to actually hit the head. It should be less random now at very long range, but at close/medium range it was relatively easy imo pre-patch. Of course hitting the head on a moving target is harder, but that's where "skill" is needed.

This patch fixes issues that should have been fixed a while ago, so i'm happy. AA is good now, so less skilled pilots who raped 30+kills will now have to react to AA defence and vehicles, but good pilots will now ensure that the AA is cleared out before raping stuff. Transport helicopters will need to be aware of where the AA is, because now they actually need to CARE about AA (gees).

Personally, the game will now be more realistic when it comes to machine guns...it was totally ridiculous if you've played the support a bit. Skilled support players will be better, but less skilled support will now be on par with less skilled assault guys. Classes should be a matter of choice, not "which is best".

one shot to head should drop your victim

Umm....it does...with all sniper rifles....

I love flying helicopters but the pilots who moan about it not being the same need to realise bf2 is not a flight sim.If it was they wouldn't be flying so close to enemy AA.

But in real life/sim AA doesn't hit 100% of the time AND take ZERO skill to use...those are the two real problems with this patch.

Not being able to go prone for a quick shot and then standing up instantly is also a big problem....its uneccseary for them to implement this to stop the bunnyhopping...

Also, support weps are moderately overpowered now, thier advantage before was high dmg (PKM) or fire rate (mg36) AND a huge clip....now its bullcrap...once again too many people with too little skill complained and so we get overpowered support guns that were fine 1.12.

I mean 1.12 I was fine getting top of the round when I went support with the pkm....all it took was skill...

Re: What do you think of patch 1.2

A good head shot always did and should continue even with this patch. Is what I meant to say (one shot to head should drop your victim). What I was trying to say is that with the M95 one shot anywhere should drop your victim.

I don’t use the Sniper kit as much as some, but I do know how :)

Sniper Rifle: Time 24:05:41, Kills: 589, Deaths: 300 Ratio: 1.96, Accuracy: 43%

Re: What do you think of patch 1.2

It's a mixed bag.
Some things I like some things I don't or I think have been over done a little.
The community as a whole should just step back take a deep breath find the bugs, make our recomedations for any needed tweaks and let EA/Dice know what they are so they can have them ready for the next patch. Which should be out before Armored Fury or just after it comes out.
But I must stress we should do this in a calm and thoughtful manner.
Not with all the drama and flaming going on in all the BF 2 forums not so much in this one but they have locked formus else where cause of all the flame wars between the Pilots and the Ground pounders.

Re: What do you think of patch 1.2

Well, your options are sorta incomplete. I would've voted for "It's decent, but has a few goofs."

what game are you playing :O
AA does not hit 100% or even 50% of the time if you know what you are doing
the support guns were too weak at anything over 10m before now they are actually really good - remember that a machine gun can only be used properly while prone and there is where the gunner is vulnerable
and the proning motion being more realistic is fantastic news - i've tried it and its different but hardly too slow

You really need a "Good try but not quite perfect yet" option...

Re: What do you think of patch 1.2

<EsP>Fury, have you tried the new sniper rifle yet? If so can you tell us your thoughts of it?
