Then you need to read a little closer and think about what it really means.

Re: Battlefield 2 v1.2 Patch Information

Guys I just got word on Patch 1.3:

Patch v1.3 Beta Features:

-Damage is only inflicted on opponent when both players are standing still and in close proximity.
-After listening to further community input, helicopters have been further revamped to explode 10 seconds after take-off.
-Firing a shotgun once at a tank renders it incapacitated. A second shot destroys the tank.
-AA will now lock on to jets and have a 100% hit rate without requiring aim.
-After careful consideration, sniper weapon power has been reduced by 150% to improve balance.
-Special Ops C4 has been removed: people had too much fun with this and fun is never a good thing.
-Textures have been reduced to 32x32 to further improve performance.

Re: Patch 1.2 sounds great...

I've made someone's signature, I feel special.
Its the honest to go truth, You're defenatly one of the few members here that actually likes to think about what will make the game more balanced, and not just Fun for one demographic. If I was EA I'd hire you, not to code the game though, but to pass along the Communities requests/bug lists to the developing team.

I honestly think that if EA assigned one member of their team to communicate DAILY on each of the major communities, we would not see so much hostility towards the company, and we would see patches of HIGHER quality. Any bugs that would be discovered, wouldn't **** off the community as much, because the players would have a release valve to vent their frustrations.

I work in Technical support, and some times all a Bitchy customer needs to hear is, "I'm sorry, We're aware of this issue, and we're working on resolving it as fast as possible" 9 times out of 10, that will appease most irate customers.

Re: Battlefield 2 v1.2 Patch Information

Interesting read for the changes so far. Of course some good, and some bad.

"Damage decreased for the M134" - Blackhawk? So they're still trying to make the Blackhawk worse and not improve the other transport choppers.

Glad to see an end to "Players can no longer jump and shoot at the same time". About time this was sorted.

Just hope this time they actually fix/change what they say they will.

Looking forward to more updates on this 1.2 patch. :)

Re: Patch 1.2 sounds great...

Oh yeah, I dig. You should check out Bioware's community. It's AMAZING!
I'll never forget when they posted that a patch for Never Winter Nights was going to be delayed because a pipe had burst in their office and destroyed the computer that held the master version of the patch! They even posted pictures.
They communicate with their community on a daily basis. Not just PR flunkies, but their head coders, designers, and artists. I've seen their designer get talked out of implementing things a certain way because of community member input. I even GAVE them a fix to a problem that was assumed to be an engine limitation. Hehe... at first they wouldn't accept it due to legal issues, but I wrote up a contract signing my rights to the code over to them.

As for my sig, hehe, yeah I couldn't resist.
I'll never claim to be a shlick coder. I can hack (as in real hacking, doing this alot::wall: ), but my field is mechanics design. For some reason, it just comes naturally to me.

If the industry wasn't such a b!tch I'd still be in it.

Re: Battlefield 2 v1.2 Patch Information

- all guns now shoot flowers instead of bullets
- Tank has been replaced with a unicorn
- AT weapons now distribute yummy gumdrops for your squad
- Artillery replaced with marshmallow barage
- Supply crates supply radius replaced with a "hug radius" awww everyone gets a hug!
- White neutral flags have been replaced with Rainbow flags.

All these ****ing whiners, gonna turn this game into americas army.
"OMFG, I got killed by a chopper...Take away half it's misslies and reduce it's health"

Whats was wrong with the choppers? There are 10 different ways to take out a chopper yet they still nerf it. The jets are far more powerful, though it seems they will never touch the amount/power of the bombs.

And no shooting while Jumping? Are you serious? If you can not jump while firing a weapon in real life you are physically/mentally disabled.

I'm tired of this ****...Every time I get used to the game they go and change a bunch of stuff so it is more noob friendly.

And If you guys think this patch isn't for the noobs, then you are in fact a noob.

Re: Patch 1.2 sounds great...

When I was in Highschool they were offering free courses in C++ and other computing languages, and I really wish I would have taken those courses at the time. I have a severe interest in coding video games (Probably because always feel I could do them better, but then again heindsight is 20/20), I've just never taken the time to learn to code. So long as the code is basic, I can read it and understand what it does, but I could never try to write my own code. So I just retreat to Suggestions and What if's



I really wish EA would take a lesson from BIOware....I bet if they treated us like that, then every BF2 owner would have ran out to the store to buy SF.

Re: Patch 1.2 sounds great...

I dont like it

Mines will be a problem, but i also think being a sniper u take quick shots because people dont wait to get shot twice or a smart guy wont stay still too long!.

Second how is a grenade launcher guna be real like that!and i am no whore at that!,also i have heard the g3 is too powerfull .
Are they saying they are guna turn the sprint down from 50 meters to what 25 meters .

Is saying your a noob or whore ?(because the game is full ov em!) going to get u kicked ......w........t..........f?????

Why couldnt they add handheld anti-air because air exploit is the biggest problem this is NOT a AIRPOWER primary game

Re: Patch 1.2 sounds great...

Dude... you're slipping again. I can barely even understand what your saying let alone attempt to respond. I'll take my best shot anyway.

Mines will be a problem

How? elaborate or your observations are worthless

i also think being a sniper u take quick shots because people dont wait to get shot twice or a smart guy wont stay still too long!.

I didn't specify how long it would take to settle sights. Obviously it would have to be played with to hit that magic *right* level. More to the point, you would need to settle those sights to get IMPROVED accuracy.

Second how is a grenade launcher guna be real like that!and i am no whore at that!

WTF? Real 'nade launched rounds DO NOT ARM until they have completed a fixed number of spins in the air. This is how they delay detonation, bucause in the real world you don't want one of those suckers going off 2 feet in front of you. Death sucks, ya know?

Since it's impractical to model that in the BF2 engine, a time delay makes an alright substitute.

also i have heard the g3 is too powerfull .
Are they saying they are guna turn the sprint down from 50 meters to what 25 meters .

Is saying your a noob or whore ?(because the game is full ov em!) going to get u kicked ......w........t..........f?????

As far as I can tell, this is the point where you have had some sort of mental seizure.
You either need to get off the drugs or get on some.

Why couldnt they add handheld anti-air because air exploit is the biggest problem this is NOT a AIRPOWER primary game

DUDE!
How many times do you have to be told?
It's NOT going to happen! It's a damned good thing it's not going to happen.
No, it's not an airpower game, but nore is it an Uber-Ninja-Cyborg-Eating-Infantry game. It's a combined arms game and suggesting killing off any aspect of it just because you personally don't like it is LAME!

Then again... maybe you weren't even addressing me or my comments.

I doubt even God could tell.
