*sighs* I'm still not impressed with all this-...wait a minute, we're not getting another Special Forces plug and actually getting an update on the patch? FINALLY! WOO!

Vehicle tweaks - No more accidental kills from bumping a friend with
your tank (try to avoid hitting him at speed though) and no more
struggling uphill in an APC. Also no more improper TK allocation from
vehicle explosions.
Thank God for that one...now maybe the n00bs who try to get a tank by standing in front of it will also be discouraged. Killing two birds with one stone, hopefully.

Commander scoring - No more TKs from Artillery!
This is...good? I think, that is until the n00bs abuse it and arty that last spawn point their team has only to wipe out 20 teammates on purpose..

Anti-Air Missiles - These are now much more effective against fast-movers.
I hope the flare reload rate on the planes was increased just a tad to counter-balance this, otherwise if they fixed them as well as they should be, but the flares take forever, the planes are going to start collecting dust. I just hope the missiles are affective as in they stay on their original target, not break off and veer toward a teammate...gotta wait to see this fix before I pass final judgement.

Server Favorites and History - find your favorite servers that much
easier. No more searching for them through the main server list!
Took'em this long to COMPLETE this feature? It'll be a welcome one though.

Nickname Prefix - Add and change your clan tag to your account name at
will. No more creating alternate account names to cover the changes in
your competitive lifestyle!
Only thing I have against this is the people who ALREADY have their clan tags in their names. They should have a way to correct their names and then add the tag. It's a good start, otherwise. (suffixes would be interesting, as well as more characters than 6)

Heh. What did they say abt the problem with commander being able to repair arty with supply drop. If this isnt fixed - ill shoot myself!

ok why so most of the times it takes 3 or 4 AA hits to take out a chopper plus the smoke seems to go on and on with quick reloads in the attack choppers

Re: Battlefield 2 Official 1.03 Patch Information

After reading the article I'm a little nervous about "No more arty TK's". That's not a good thing if you ask me. I can see spamming arty on flags now.

No, the players still die, but CO doesn't get the TK penalty.

Wow... uhh... doesn't that just open up a big can of abuse?

Re: Battlefield 2 Official 1.03 Patch Information

I wonder how many points sf troops will get for destroying arty, etc?

And why does it say specialist next to my name when I am only a lance corporal?

Oh yeh, and have they tweaked the vote system? It's nearly impossible to get enough votes to kick a repeat tk'er or a mutiny vote against a horrible commander.

The new Wake Island map comes to you free of charge thanks to Fileplanet's new Battlefield 2 Channel.

Well duh. Think we would have to pay for it. >>>>> EA?Dice
