Re: Battlefield 2 1.3 Patch Released!

From the community update in beginning of May EA said this about new features in the 1.3 patch.

To balance the wide-open tank battles with aerial firepower, six new vehicles will be introduced, including 3 scout helos such as the MD 530, Little Bird, and 3 ground attack aircraft like the A10 Warthog.

NOTHING OF THIS IS INCLUDED IN THIS PATCH!!

Liars!

This game doesnt need more airpower..its balanced enough already!!!!!!!!

Did monkey's think this up?!?

while the air dropping vehicles are a nice addition, they really need to fine tune that crap...I seen more cars dropping today than bombs...And I have been ran over more today than my whole year of previous jeep dodging. Anyone remember frogger? The squad hopping fix was just plain bull, Now americans have no chance at all on wake, As if the spawn camping j-10's werent hard enuf to dodge.... now its up to 1 lucky sob to capture a whole base while its raining bombs and jeep's. As for the CO'OP? I dont see any dam diff, Can you run Bots on wake now? And the server select screen is joke, pings of 0-10000??? When loading into a server the IP is no longer visable, Just a 0 with a stupid smiley thing :)

Re: Battlefield 2 1.3 Patch Released!

This patch is par for the course. Like all the ones before, it sucks.

- Verifying Client time is much longer now
- Screwed up Server Menu
- All I hear is the Commander yelling in my ear about Jeeps falling from the sky every two minutes... enough already I get it! It's raining Jeeps.
- The artillery is much louder and screechy. VERY annoying.


I read the EA reported a $16 million loss lately -

SAN JOSE, Calif. (AP) -- Stuck in an industrywide waiting game and faced with a high tax bill, video game publisher Electronic Arts Inc. swung to a loss in its fiscal fourth quarter and issued an outlook well below Wall Street expectations on Wednesday.

The world's largest video game publisher said it lost $16 million, or 5 cents per share, for the three months ended March 31. In the year-ago period, the company posted a profit of $8 million, or 2 cents per share.

Revenue climbed to $641 million, up 16 percent from $553 million in the prior year.

Excluding certain items, the Redwood City, Calif.-based company said it would have earned $43 million, or 14 cents per share, compared to $30 million, or a 9 cents per share, a year ago. EA said the one-time charges included a repatriation tax of $375 million in foreign earnings and $59 million in acquisition costs.

On that basis, the company exceeded the expectations of 9 cents per share on revenue of $581 million from analysts polled by Thomson Financial.

For the full year, EA said it earned $236 million on revenue of $2.95 billion, compared to earnings of $504 million on revenue of $3.13 billion in the prior year.

For the current quarter ending in June, EA said it expected a loss of between 28 cents and 22 cents per share on revenue between $300 million and $340 million, taking into account an estimated 9 cents-per-share impact from stock option expenses, another 3 cents in amortization and 2 cents in restructuring charges. Analysts were projecting a loss of 19 cents on revenue of $412 million.

And for the current fiscal year, EA projected earnings excluding stock-based compensation and other one-time charges to be between 35 cents and 65 cents per share on revenue of between $2.7 billion and $2.95 billion. That's well below the analysts' earnings estimate of $1.07 per share on revenue of $3.12 billion.

Sales of video games industrywide have slowed as customers have been withholding purchases and waiting to switch to next-generation models of game consoles. In 2005, stalled purchases caused video game sales to fall 5 percent to $7 billion in the United States, according to market research firm NPD Group.

Shares of EA fell 4 cents to close at $54.50 then tumbled another $2.65, or almost 5 percent, after issuing its report.

I makes me happy to hear they lost millions :)

Re: Battlefield 2 1.3 Patch Released!

Awesome!

I just played 1.3 and I have to say I am totally fired up! woo wooo!

The teamplay now with squads is over! No more squads because they are now useless! Glad to see EA / Dice doing their customers right and ruining one of the best features of the game. FFS take it back to where it was for squads, we liked it, no one complained about it, it was fun, etc. Another useless patch from EA / DICE.

They just don't listen.............and never will

Re: Battlefield 2 1.3 Patch Released!

Well, when I look at the comments around 4 of 80 has no problems with 1.3 and 76 does. I think I am not installing this patch till 1.31 (if this will repair the problems. I will be placing a 1.22 server on a 100 mbit in Holland.

Oh they included it. Through the multiplayer/create local and then change the conquest to coop. Its nothing what i was hoping for as it only includes 16 player maps.

Re: Battlefield 2 1.3 Patch Released!

BF2 will never get fixed. 2142 is what Dice/EA are going to be focusing on.


Remember how BFV never got fixed? This patch is a cluster****. I looked forwarding to trying out the vehicle request, but found myself waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaiting to connect to my account and getting crashes.

Re: Battlefield 2 1.3 Patch Released!

Amazing....

To be honest, im not one of those ea haters or ea fanboys im pretty much in the moderate range but this patch just plain disgusts me.

I mean they throw in extras NO one ever asked for (well maybe on person but you know what I mean) while they continue to not bother to fix the numerous bugs including CTD, connection bug, red/blue tag bug, and other things....incluidng the incredible lag....

Just UNBELIEVABLE!

Ea disgusts me.

There is only ONE valid glitch out of the ones you mentioned there, and that's the red/blue tag. You experience CTD for a number of reasons and NONE are the cause of the game itself. Possibly because yer PC's pants or you have software conflicting. As for incredible lag, chuck another 50p in your modem.

After a loong evenings play, I personally think the patch is excellent and the game's pace "feels" faster for some reason. N1 EA/Dice.
