Re: Battlefield 2 v1.2 Patch Information

My opinions on the changes:

- TV-Guided missile now have a shorter range

They should have a longer range than they already do... i don't like this.

- Hit points on all air vehicles has been reduced

Probably a good thing Anything that'll make jets die quicker at this point is good.

- AA missile lock has been improved

Something inside me says '....yeah right...' but if they actually did it, thats good.

- "Dolphin Diving" is no longer possible

Again, doubt they actually did it right, but if they did, that is a VERY good thing.

- Players can no longer jump and shoot at the same time

THANK THE HOLY GOD ALMIGHTY! This is exactly what we need. For once, EA has done somethign I actually completely agree with.

- "Prone Spamming" is now fixed
- "Sprint exploit" is now fixed

Hopefully these mean going instaprone and then standing up instantly, and being able to jump with no stamina. If these have been fixed, also VERY good things.

- Reload while sprinting has been enabled

Not really realistic, but it could change the game dynamic for the better. Not sure.

Sounds like a lot of good things in here. Especially for mods, who couldn't otherwise make jumping and shooting an impossiblility. It isn't everything, but at least they are finnally adressing the dolphin diving issue.

Wow, I'm very pleased with this! Sounds like the bunnyhoppers, dolphin divers, etc. days are numbered. Excellent.

Re: Battlefield 2 v1.2 Patch Information

nothing about fixing AA missiles locking onto friendlies though

unless that's what they mean by missile lock improved but I'm assuming that just means the missiles will chase and hit enemies better

haven't played VBF2 since SF came out but when the patch is released first thing I'm gonna do is join a server and try out the mobile AA and if I still can't kill anything then right back to SF I go

I'm betting that the missile improvement isn't gonna matter one bit because all a bomber still has to do is run in on your stinger/mobile AA vehicle and throw flares while he drops his bombs or lines his co-pilot up for guided missile, the flares chase your missiles away and you get a face full of boom while the jet flies off with only a few units of damage

Sounds wicked! I'd really like to see the AA improved... That one is REALLY important...

Re: Battlefield 2 v1.2 Patch Information

its BFV all over again. Balanced and toned down and made for "mummys little soldiers" who dont like to die by someone better than them.
ugh i give up with EA/Dice. Whats next? " Sorry but ur not allowed to shoot Johnny Gamespy as he was shot 5 minutes ago and that wouldnt be Fair"
Lifes not fair fgs.
Hopefully Dcon will restore the sense of edge and killing that DC managed to grow from the seed of 42

Re: Battlefield 2 v1.2 Patch Information

Still won't consider buying another game by EA until they pick up their server support a little. That and once they actually train their staff to know what they're doing.

I had a question so I posted it on their support site and they referred me to the wrong address twice. Then when I finally proved it to me they said I was wrong(the other department replied saying I had been refered to the wrong place).

They cheaped out yet again on the dedicated server software. All that's different from this software is that there is a grafical interface for n00bs who can't edit a text file.

I agree with the above poster. Other then bug fixes the game was fine. Its never going to be perfectly balanced. And thats the same thing in real life...

I already knew how to reload while sprinting... you just start reloading and switch the sprint mode and your guy will reload...

I love EVERYTHING they have done - EXCEPT nerfing the helis! Why the hell did they take away nearly half of their 7.62 rockets... they already suck as it it. And decreasing the TV guided's range is just ridiculous. They can only travel ~300m anyway... We'll have to see how these things play out, but I have a feeling for the most part this is a good patch.

We believe this update has some significant improvements that everyone will appreciate. We’ve seen the discussions on the forum and will do our best to address as many issues as possible, as soon as possible. Here is a quick run down of just some of the issues we have been working on.<p>- Helicopter now carry 8 missiles rather than 14

I thought they didnt want realism and it seems like they are moving closer to it...

Re: Battlefield 2 v1.2 Patch Information

Carv. Planes means skill. Skill means johnny gamespy wont want to invest the time learning a new skill if he can use his CS skills instead. Meaning planes arent needed except for people who are willing to invest time in them.

In Conclusion the Battlefield Name is fast becoming a watered brand that has little or no relation to its origional premise.
