    Good Patch Review for 1.2

    Well, I have seen dozens of threads about what' still wrong with BF2. Even more about the new things that are wrong with BF2. Are there players other than myself happy with the patch changes?

    I like that you cannot throw C4 anymore. I admit I am not a big spec ops player, but I think it just takes more skill to get the kills with it now. Maybe there won't be so many new players with the expert C4 badge on the first day of playing. You can still slap them on a car and kill people/tanks/whatever with it. (I don't. but it still works).

    I like that AA actually kills things now. I enjoy getting in one and knowing that with just a touch of aim I can finally shoot down guys with 30-60:1 KD ratio. I love not having to hide from them every waking moment on a map. A lock is not a guaranteed kill, but they certainly evened the odds since the patch.

    I enjoy knowing that the guy I ran into just around the corner can't waste me with a GL at 2 feet in one second flat. I can still be killed by people with skill, but not by anyone running down the street with the thing like in the past. The guys that had the skill before still kill with them now.

    Now when I shoot a jet/helicopter with my tank, I can kill them. No more smoking and running. They are dead. I cannot tell you how many times I have laid into a helicopter dead on in a tank and watched in amazement while they just turned and flew off for repairs. In the first night after the patch was out, I shot down 5 helicopters with my tank. Ah sweet revenge.

    I have not noticed ANYTHING yet that detracts from my enjoyment of the game since the patch. If anything, I enjoy it more now that the field has been leveled.

    Just my .02 cents.

    Yes agreed on all accounts. However, there are a few niggly bugs which would be nice to see resolved, e.g. AT missiles, non-bouncing nades from the GL, weird AA missile behaviour...

        I enjoy not getting tk punished by people who are idiotic enough to drive over my mines, which are in plain sight.

        I enjoy mining strategic entrances to flags in Karkand and keeping the APC and the tank at bay and my team in the game.

        I enjoy the enhanced teamwork aspect the new patch brought.

        I enjoy the sight of snipers running and ramboing around with their endless supply of claymores.

        I enjoy the stationary support fellows sniping away from 100m with their single shot PKMs.

        I enjoy the medic with the new malfunctioning defib pads.

        I enjoy....

        ...

        Wait. Aren't snipers supposed to be invisible and machine guns supposed to lay cover fire? This took a wrong turn somewhere after the third "I enjoy...". :)

              patch is meh. What I don't like is the lack of fixing bugs, and the creation of new ones. I'm at 11 bugs and counting :p

                Hate to break it to you pal, but Noobtubers are still present in patch 1.2
                You can still kill a person and yourself with the noobtube.

                  You're not breaking any news to me. I know it is still possible to do it, but the difference makes it much less annoying. It's takes more skill now than it did before.

                    I like the AA changes, but still they have a long way to go from being useful.

                    1. Pilots can still line you up and kill your AA off with machine gun bursts before you can get a lock on.

                    2. The AA are still in the most retarded placements ever. "Hey Bob lets put this AA SAM launcher right next to a bunch of fuggin trees. That'll teach em." So sick of planes and helos just flying under the lock on areas because of bunkers and so forth... R E T A R D E D.

                    3. Aircraft bombs still have a HUGE kill zone. Pilots just camp infantry battles now knowing going in on a tank could be death. Yay!

                    4. Fighter planes should of never been part of the game. Go SF!
