Re: Final Battlefield 2 Highway Tampa Released

In the final version they changed the cappable mainbases in 32 and 64 player maps into uncappable. I dont know why they did that, but after the mainbases have been uncappable, the map has lost much of it's gameplay that I liked in the beta. Always nice to have some new content, but after they changed the bases it's bye bye Tampa for me.

Re: Final Battlefield 2 Highway Tampa Released

a perfect map for getting expert engineer or anti-tank, perhaps even ordinace

Re: Final Battlefield 2 Highway Tampa Released

I was playing it last night on the FLOT server and I saw a lot of people connecting then disconnecting.. guess they were all running the beta still, or they forgot to remove the beta version before installing the new official version...

This should serve as a reminder to keep playing what you LIKE to play.

I like the old version better as well.

Yeah, that's why we couldn't get a full server yesterday. Everyone still had the beta.

I guess they should have named the previous one something like "Highway_Tampa_Beta"...

Re: Final Battlefield 2 Highway Tampa Released

i had the beta first and then downloaded the full release. i was playing it yesterday (full release) and it worked fine (i do wish the main bases were still cappable, though). Today, however, the map loads and then verifies client resources, and then i get a ctd. any suggestions?

i deleted the highway tampa folder and am now downloading it again. i'll see if that does it

Did you try rebooting before you deleted it? That's always a good idea when you get a CTD. It also could have been a freak thing... sometimes things like that happen without a good reason.

some servers are still using the beta.. so that would cause the CTD.. otherwise if you get unmodified content..just reapply the 1.41 patch then restart and try again.

Re: Final Battlefield 2 Highway Tampa Released

Yeah - it was just that all the servers I tried were still using the beta. When I tried a beta-using server last night it didn't give me a ctd, but rather told me i was using modified content and wouldn't let me on. That's why I wasn't thinking that was the issue. Shame that the servers that both have players playing and are using the new version are giving me crappy pings...

Re: Final Battlefield 2 Highway Tampa Released

i think i dont like that map ... tanks, tanks and even more tanks infantry is "the queen of all weapons", but i'll try to get expert explosive ordinance on that map just like scinto mentioned

the worst thing is the loading screen + map description "... secure the new intel technology" ... thats ********, coz it takes the feeling of participating in a "real" combat.

It's just common sense.. you get a new version of a map - be it an official map or an unranked custom map, you should delete the old version before installing the new version so you don't have any files left over that interfere with the ability of the map to run.
