Battlefield Patch 1.03 In the Works

[Laike]

EA UK forums announced that EA Games is working on a 1.03 patch, hopefully to be released by

the end of August. The new patch will feature over 140 fixes and improvements.

<blockquote><b>Server and Client performance improvements</b>
<b>Improved Server Browser</b> – added Favorites and History Lists.
<b>Point-farming prevention</b> - game will stop Support, Medic, and Engineer point farming exploits.
<b>Squads</b> - locked squad leader will get a message if someone wants to join.
<b>Many HUD improvements</b> - see the names of others in your vehicle, zoom level changing depending on vehicle, map zoom depending on map setup (16, 32 or 64 player map) etc.
<b>Teamkilling changes</b> – the logic of how teamkills are tracked will be changed.
<b>Gameplay tweaks</b> - the way transport helicopters work will be tweaked.
<b>Additional scoring changes</b> - players who destroy an enemy commander's assets will be given points. </blockquote>

The post also noted new US and European servers going live, and promised several more to go live with in the coming weeks. Take a look at the forum post and all the juicy details

You have to think, this would only be the 2nd patch, had it not been for that memory leak.

Wow... these changes sound awesome. Especially the way teamkills are tracked - thanks EA!

[imported_davidklaw]

Excellent! Stuff I care about.

[Toady]

Too little. Too late.
As far as the points farming and crap teamkill system go.

End of August?
All these fixes?!

Heck...I could wait that long

Gameplay tweaks - the way transport helicopters work will be tweaked.

Hmmmmm....I wonder what that could mean....

YES!!! Those changes sound really good. The commanders are in for a world of hurt now that everyone will want to play spec-ops. I hope the team-play aspect becomes more and more a necessity in the servers.

Can't wait!!

Point-farming prevention - game will stop Support, Medic, and Engineer point farming exploits.

I would like to know how this works. I like being a support and medic to help my squad, not for points =)
