    EA Community Update - 4/25/06

    There is a new community update posted today over at the <A HREF="http://www.ea.com/official/battlefield/battlefield2/us/editorial.jsp?src=communityupdate_042506">Official Battlefield 2 website</A>. It provides information about changes present in the upcoming 1.3 patch. Features include Airdropped vehicles and Co-op mode.
    <blockquote><b><i>Community Update - 4/25/06</b>

    Attention Soldiers!

    Although the 1.3 patch is still being worked on we wanted to provide a peek at what you can expect with the coming release:

    <b>NEW FEATURES</b>
    <menu><LI type="disc"> Co-op: Co-op Mode allows you to play Single Player levels on the Internet and LAN with both AI controlled bots and human players. Several new options have been created that will allow the server creator to modify how the bots behave in game.
    <LI type="disc"> Air dropped vehicles: Squad members can now send a request up the chain of command for a vehicle to be dropped at their location.
    </menu>
    <b>BUG FIXES & GAME PLAY TWEAKS</b>
    <menu><LI type="disc"> Prevented ban list from being cleared in the event of a server crash.
    <LI type="disc"> Fixed issue with players not properly ranking up on servers where they continuously play.
    <LI type="disc"> Fixed bug where friendly vehicles show up as valid targets.
    <LI type="disc"> Friendly Vehicle lock: Lock-on weapons do not lock on to friendly vehicles. The box with an X through it will still appear, but a lock tone will not sound and then if fired, the missile will not track the friendly target.
    </menu>
    Keep in mind this is only a part of what 1.3 will include. Our live team is working diligently to provide the best update possible in preparation for the release of the Armored Fury booster pack!</i></blockquote>Source: <A HREF="http://www.ea.com/official/battlefield/battlefield2/us/editorial.jsp?src=communityupdate_042506">Official Battlefield 2 website</A>.

      hmm wonder where they got the idea of dropping vehicles from? Could it be QuakeWars? Oh well, QW probably took a lot of ideas from BF2 as well

              Finally, no more accidental bombing of friendlies. Also much harder till kill friendlies. Hope that this actually works!

                Sounds good, the COOP feature should be good. I wonder how many people are going to be killed by the air dropped vehicles....

                      Tank goomba will rawk! They just need to add the looming shadow thing like in the road runner cartoons.

                        Snazzy update!

                        I'm interested to see how the implement this vehicle air drop thing and what restrictions (if any) it will have. I see some room for exploitation with this new feature and, as with all new features, think that it may need to be tweaked in subsequent patches.

                              This sounds sooo cool. This will definantly get me back into BF2 as it will add another element of gameplay. Thank you EA.
