Re: Battlefield 2 1.3 Patch Released!

for this new vehicle drop thats being implemented into the game. Should it not really been disabled to drop vehicles on carriers & runways & other ridiculous places. Just weird.

Re: Battlefield 2 1.3 Patch Released!

Can someone else confirm....?

It would appear that this new patch screws up All Seeing Eye. Looks like I can't see servers that have the new patch.

Am I the only person who didn't have problems with this patch? Everything works fine for me.

Re: Battlefield 2 1.3 Patch Released!

Oh dear, Mr shank what exactly has post count got do with anything? Apart from 'teh size of your E-penis?' you have 129 posts, one more and you will have reached the ultimate prize of uber geekdom. /sigh but I don't judge people based on how many post they have made..so Your a lucky boy :)

I think we're well aware of the EA/DICE situation, but I think we are also aware of who is actually calling the shots now that Dice has been gobbled up by EA.

Nope what I meant was the people are posting just now because of the patch, what I'm trying to say is the community doesn't like it. I've been here on these forums since before BF2 was out. I don't post much actually, could care less.

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.

I think you'll find that those with a reason to rant will do so here, and those with no problems will never even come to the forum. The forum is a biased sample, i.e. those WITH problems come here.

None of my clan, or the dozens of people patched to 1.3 that I've played hours with have had any problems at all.

CTD is nothing new, and in my experience is usually related to problems with the connection to the server.

OKey Dokey...BF 1.3 has a few nice mods.. yet some glitches in the server choice initial screen where players DO not show(looks like a empty server.) A few other things are popping as odd. It is fun dropping a vehicle onto a enemy head- kills them dead and as long as they are still for a few seconds, very accurate..Looking foreward to playing a few more hours to see whats what.. I also play under DieWithDignity as well as NoMommy

Re: Battlefield 2 1.3 Patch Released!

Is it just me.....or have they made all froms of AA gun far too effective. I am very good in the jets or helis or at least I was.....

b4, 4/5 when you were blown out of the sky it would be by other Jets only......now I cant fly anywhere without being blasted down by various AA fire.

Now it seems like 4/5 times I get killed when in JET, it is by AA.

This is wrong!

Don't toy with me like that. I certainly hope they made it easier to take out jets. It was so annoying the way it was where only jets could take out a decent jet pilot.

GREAT JOB EA for making AA effective!!!

Re: Battlefield 2 1.3 Patch Released!

Hey.. also try droping a vehicle on a mountaintop for your sniper to use as effective AA on newly risen enemy aircraft in Dalian plant.. its a evil suprize

Yeah but no matter what anyone says about "noob" jet pilots thinking they are great on the game just cos they can tot up 35 kills to 2-3 deaths per level, to fly a jet and to fly a jet well takes quite a deft touch and indeed a bit of skill and cunning. To operate an AA gun takes someone who is capable of pressing a mouse button! it is not right that a total noob who is playing the game for the first time ever can jump on an AA gun and blast an expert Jet pilot out of the sky's as easy as taking sweets from a baby.....it is wrong I tell you IT IS WRONG!

Anyway, I dont care about any of that cos that is me uninstalled bf2 and reinstalling again up to 1.22 and just leaving 1.3 out until these EA/Dice tosspots get it sorted out. Hopefully enough server admins will see the light and not jump to this utter travesty of an alledged "upgrade".

P.S. That vehicle drop is just fecking annoying and stupid the way it is implemented. I agree that the only place that a vehicle should be able to be dropped is within a certain radius of the Squad Leader requesting it.

Meh, I've flown a Jet for like an hour. Got the Aerial service (19 kills in a round) first attempt.

Dunno why jets and helis have repair / rearm pads when nothing else does either, bizarre.

Doing anything well in BF2 requires skill and cunning, and the game is already too lenient on pilots (e.g. the AA should lock at up to 8km, but it's 350m in the game, and if they're coming straight at you there will be no time for any lock much less time for missile launching). Compared to other vehicle types pilots have always had the balance heavily in their favour.

This is what really pops my cork, the changed awards requirements...

http://bf2stats.formitron.com/forums/forums/thread-view.asp?tid=188

I have been totally ripped off. I worked damn hard to get around 90 awards from around 110 on offer. Take Basic Explosives it was 15 kills in round when I got it, now it's a paltry 5 kills (which my 7 y.o. daughter could do).

Look at the Expert Air Defence, something I have been working towards for months, now anyone can log on today and get it easily in a round.

These awards used to have some challenge in them, which gave them some brag value, and gave the holder some respect. Now they're just dumbarse virtual online images that any dumbarse with a keyboard can get.

This sucks, majorly.

Re: Battlefield 2 1.3 Patch Released!

Meh.....

Only 19 kills in a whole hour!!!

If I that was me I would turn the game off in disgust and realise that perhaps I had better do something else instead cos that score SUCKS!

I would bet any money that you were playing on a 64 player server , about 13 a side, and playign with a big bunch of noobs.

I am am good in jets....I know what I am talking about and I have noticed the blatant difference between the feasibility of 1.22 and the aggravation of 1.3.

As for this nonsense about real AA guns will lock on at 8km, that is just ********....this is a game...not a war simulator. If we are going to be like that I might add that modern day jets will be able to wipe out targets from up to 100 miles away. Aerial dogfights are a thing of the past....oh yeah, and you shouldn't really need to get a headshot with an M95 sniper rifle to kill a man with just one shot. Cos I am sure that in real life one shot to the head with a pistol would do the job just as good!

Hell, shoot a soldier in the leg with a pistol and that willb e his military career over for at least 6 months, possibly for ever!

Meh

It seems to be working ok for me I have played about an hour. The two things that I saw wrong was : I had to click on BF2 three times cause each time it would go right back to the desk top never opened up the full screen, and second it kicked me back to list of servers after third round other that no other problems yet.
