1.2 Patch Update

Re: 1.2 Patch Update

Maybe your purpose. Dice explained in some earlier interview that it's supposed to give them a slight edge on vehicles, but not a full one like anti-tank, which is why they're trying to make them less effective against infantry.

DICE is on crack. The assault class is, virtually by definition, supposed to be an anti-infantry class. The grenade launcher, an anti-vehicle weapon? The grenade launcher is only really useful against jeeps/buggies and helicopters on rare occasssions, and even then, AT missiles work ten times better than grenade launchers against any given vehicle. Besides, when you want a class that performs well against infantry and vehicles, is it the assault class you turn to? **** no, you take the special ops class.

so basically. the class named "assault" is really just an anti tank class that has a weapon thats only effective against jeeps, cant be guided, and has very limited range?

That's exactly what I think of their statement that the GL is an anti-vehicle weapon. It's absurd.

I say again: they're not removing the GL. They're making it require skill to use. It's an instant kill weapon, it should be tricky to use. It's way too easy atm.. if you're able to consistently place a nade within a 3 feet radius (or however large the kill zone is going to be), you'll probably still own with the GL.

Heh, the kill radius for the launched grenade is already about three feet. And now they're decreasing it (1 foot, 2 feet?).

Any insight as to what the new sniper unlock is? Hopefully something worthwhile... I don't fancy the M95 very much.

-Performance gain found in static mesh rendering.

I hope I'll be able to run on HIGH settings again, ever since 1.12, I had to lower my settings to medium =0.

Me too, and Res. I used ot run at 1280X960 on high. Now 1024X768 on Med jus to keep above 40fps.

Re: 1.2 Patch Update

Glad they are nerfing the assault class. I wish they would remove the GL all together and give them something else to combat infantry... people just misuse the GL and its overpowered anyway. The minimum distance and no jumping while firing would have been sufficent, decreasing the damage was a little much. But hey, I can't complain. No more noob tubers! They'll have to actually use GUNS! Imagine that!

Re: 1.2 Patch Update

Interesting changes in the patch, glad to see something finally done about the GL's.

Shame about the booster packs only being sold online though.

They're still in there.

Re: 1.2 Patch Update

Don't know if it's been answered, but the GL radius is being reduced because they consider it an anti-vehicle weapon, not anti-infantry (discussed in an earlier interview).

Re: 1.2 Patch Update

God i still only have 3 unlocks and nothing more, also

THIS STUFF SHOULD HAVE BEEN WITH THE GAME WHEN I GOT IT, grrrrr. Why are they making us buy this crap, I HATE YOU, Ghost Recon 2 for Xbox is getting free**** all the time new maps, modes, guns, skins, and DICE//EA are charging us.

Seems all they are doing is trying to supress us modelers.

For me i am tired of conquest, EVERYONE PLAY DCON we have CTF and objective mode!!

Re: 1.2 Patch Update

EA have seen that people care about their stats, so anything that will be ranked (eg new official updates with new maps) they know they can charge for and people will pay. If the game didn't let you develop and get your stats up then people wouldn't want to get all the updates urgently. You can get plenty of maps and add on's if you don't care about your stats. Play unranked and there is loads you can do.
Thats why ea are a business making lots of money, they know how to exploit their customers.

Personally, £5.99 is next to nothing and it's made simple to get. BF2 is fun (most of the time) and I'll get the expansions when they come.

Exactly with me, memory leak issue or some sort of thing that degrades performance, this is why in the first place they removed water splash and the game still runs like crap.
