Battlefield 2142 v1.4 Patch Beta 2 Released

[crizzo]

Are they going to fix the podsurfing, that these glitchers seem to love?

[DMan24]

yes but it will no longer be a glitch every player has the ability to move there pod away from fire to acces roofs and such because a team camps the beacon

A second beta of Battlefield 2142 Update 1.4 is now available for download. This beta includes the new Highway Tampa map brought to you by Intel in cooperation with DICE. This beta will be run for a shorter period of time, ending Monday October 8th. We will then work towards the final non-beta release. The full list of changes is as follow.
FEATURES

- Added a new map, Highway Tampa.

- Added an autosave to kit customisations. After you customise a kit and spawn in with that kit, the customisation will be automatically saved until you change it and spawn in again. Note that you must spawn in with a particular kit for it to be saved.
- Titans will now spawn up to two gunships per side
- Squad Leaders no longer have to resupply to re-equip destroyed drones


FIXES

- Exploit Fix: hardcoded the time limits of Orbital and EMP strikes.
- RDX Shotgun now detonates RDX, Motion Mines, AP Mines with minimum of 2 rounds.
- Ported EU Assault Rifle changes to the Best Buy unlock as well.
- Fixed LMG Left/Right Recoil
- Revised EU Assault Rifle Recoil
- Increased Clark rate of fire to match Herzog
- Fixed PAC shotgun attachment recoil to match other Herzogs
- Further adjustment to Squad Leader drones to prevent them accidentally killing the Squad Leader when deployed
- Further fix to prevent "pod surfing". Note that some pod movement will still be possible and is an intended gameplay mechanic to allow the player to have some small choice of landing site and to access rooftops
- Smoke from the CM3-N Radar Grenade deploys more quickly. The Radar range has been slightly increased and endures for the duration of the smoke effect.
- The CM3-N Radar Grenade may now be resupplied.
- The screening effectiveness of all smoke grenades has been significantly improved.
- Adjusted Talon heat source position to improve Gunship missile balance.
- Beta Feedback: Fixed the placement of an AA gun on Highway Tampa
- Beta Feedback: Improved the visuals of the swimming pool on Highway Tampa

Pffffffft, its Dice/EA u really think theyll keep the "second" week thing going? NO, for one theres still TONS of ppl complaining of the constant server crashes so if they release it as is LOL, I can just imagine the months of complaints. And even then it prolly wont be fixed completely. So I say it will prolly be another 2 weeks b4 we even see any info or progress.

Nah, I think it'll PROBABLY be another 2 weeks. I don't think it'll PROLLY be another 2 weeks.

I hope the patch releases by the end of the month as our clan as decided not to renew our ranked servers if the server crashing problem is not fixed. It's too frustrating each night playing a good round, only to have the server crash and lose your points, then trying to get the server going again. We have spent $2,134 in ranked server fees the past 6 months and what a waste of money spent on a defective product. Unless the fix for crashing is released very soon, we are saying bye to 2142 as a clan and moving on.

I feel for you.

LOL! Yeah right, DICE keeping a promise :laugh: Not even a small update from them that says: ''This patch is not coming out this week.'' Just nothing....That's why moved on to C&C3. A EA game that does get loads of support.

[gergnoodle]

glad to here they will finally accept the pod movement as a legit tactic tired of getting kicked or banned becasue ive been able to steer my pod away from danger

every other pod can be "driven" when launched so why not the squad beacon?

[DrJambo]

I keep getting server disconnections with this new beta patch, i.e. it doesn't seem any better than beta 1.

[DMan24]

thats y there called "beta" so that they know what gamers experience is and what they need to fix

[farmergiles]

I must admit some of the changes look sweet. Having more gunships and better smoke grenades will make me very happy. Can't wait to try out the new map as well.

However I still don't notice any changes to limit the bunnyhoppers out there nor do I see anything to limit the re-supplying of grenades. That means titan grenade spammers are still going to cause issues!

[RottnJP]

FF=ON is still the best defense against that stuff

[Tiberiansun292]

Hey guess what. Total is out of date. there has been a beta 3 for a wile now.

I have the Link. :)

[BluebaronX]

Well i didn't realize they even had a beta 3, when did this happen?

BF2142 1.4 BETA FC

[DMan24]

yeah this Final Beta is based only on server connections for y everyone was beingdisconnected also to make sure there is no more glitches with the patch, but what EA should have done was put out more than 1 map for this patch
