Battlefield 2 v1.2 Patch Information

Re: Battlefield 2 v1.2 Patch Information

Wow this game gets crappier every patch. Why take away the ability to jump and shoot? Just because whiners didn't like it and think it was realistic? So what, none of the game is realistic! Why nerf the helicopter so badly? All they had to do was up the accuracy of the ground AA and that was more than enough. Seems to me they're listening to the vocal minority (as usual) that want to make BF2 a ground combat sim which will be a formula for disaster in the long run. Why play BF2 for ground combat when there are games out there that do it much better? Lame. Hopefully these craptastic changes don't translate over to mods.

so real soldiers bounce around like rabbbits do they???!!! FOOL!!!

Man, they just want to make it fairer, i mean, as if a tank couldnt take out a chopper with a shell???? The whole point of the game is to capture an holod control points, and the mojority of ppl in a server ARE ground troops. So i think it is wonderful that planes and choppers have had their impact lessened.

Re: Battlefield 2 v1.2 Patch Information

Patch sounds great, however, im not sure wut these mean
"Prone Spamming" is now fixed
"Sprint exploit" is now fixed"
can anyone fill me in??

Prone spamming is merely rapidly going between prone and standing.


There are two things that could be considered the sprint exploit. One involves jumping and the other involves two people. I've never done either but I can see how they work. The one that involves two people has the added bonus of not only indefinitely running but running twice the speed of a normal sprint. I see this exploit most often when a squad wants to be the first to reach the blackhawk.

Mostly planes. Choppers weren't really that bad as long as you thought about the situation before attempting something futile. Planes don't really have any foe other than another plane.

What makes me angry at planes isn't their bombs it's that there have been times where I actually managed to get a tank shell to land on a plane and it did not destroy it. Seriously, no fighter in the world can survive a tank round. How did I manage to hit a tank while in flight? Well, one plane decided to slow down, to a near stop while dropping it's bombs on my tank. It was roughly thirty feet forward of my cannon. I hit it right in the center of the plane. The plane sped up and flew away. A JSF was hovering in the air and I landed a tank round on it before it flew off. Another plane flew by really low and by a miracle that only God could provide went inbetween my tank and another tank. I fired and hit it in the cockpit -- not intentionally as I was firing at the other tank --the plane blew up but I suspect that it was already damaged.

The odd thing is unmanned planes die in one tank round. I guess they gain hit-points when piloted.

Back to the orginal arguement, planes have no rival other than other planes. AA vehicles should be more of a threat to them. Right now all they are good for is anti-infantry/lightly armored vehicles and mediocre chopper pilots. I'm not saying they should completely nerf planes just make the AA missiles a hell of a alot better or down the hitpoints on a plane a little bit.

Re: Battlefield 2 v1.2 Patch Information

Why limit the guns on the blackhawk? As it stands there is only 1 map where the black hawk is even remotely usefull, and that is Mashtuur. In other maps a Blackhawk lasts about 5 seconds untill an attack helicoptor or jet shoot it down, so they are pretty much useless as it is. In Mashtuur, it is one of the best methods for quickly stomping out ground troops. Once they take that away, then the Blackhawk will be completely useless, they might as well just remove it from the game. They might as well remove the blackhawk all together and just add more jets and attack helecoptors to the existing maps. It's really dissappointing, since there was no greater thrill than laying down a blanket or machine gun fire on the soldiers in the streets of Mashtuur below. Just watching them drop like ants in the street brings a smile to my face.

Because the blackhawk was a completely ******** helicopter with wayy too much health and friggin splash damage on its chainguns? Have you ever tried to shoot something with the mi-17 or that china transport-helo guns? its god damn impossible, face it mate; blackhawk is unbalanced.

Re: Battlefield 2 v1.2 Patch Information

Now that Booster back, Euro Forces, has been delayed and most likely the 1.2 will be release before the expansion.

Where have you seen that it's delayed?

Read one of the Euro Forces delayed threads. However, they've said that the patch is on schedule, it's only the booster pack that's delayed.

We'll update the patch news sticky as soon as we have anything further.

Re: Battlefield 2 v1.2 Patch Information

So is it official that the booster pack has been pushed back? That's kinda a bummer, but they are obviously trying to get everything right as they always do. I can wait-EA/DICE does a great job-despite the tears of an insipid minority---just hope the patch is out soon
