Re: 1.2 Patch Pre-Release Interview

Incremental will allow you to patch over without reinstalling and without downloading the whole entire thing

full is for those with no patch

thats my understanding of it

That is correct. i have tested the patch and it works:

Patch 1.2

Re: 1.2 Patch Pre-Release Interview

The other servers seem kind of slow... so here's mine (hosted):

http://skorchedearth.com/files/BF2_112_12.exe

It's off the german sites, but the installer definitely works in english. I have 200 gigs of bandwidth, so here's hoping it holds...

Wow! You are all downloading an .exe file that is not supposed to exist till tomorrow from sites that you have little reason to trust. Not me. No way.
I will wait till it is on a site I personally trust.

Beside many server, ours included have not been updated yet.

Re: 1.2 Patch Pre-Release Interview

Ya, looking back it sounds shady, but no skin off my back if you don't d/l it. If you do, at least now (11.42 CST) you can't play cause the ranked servers aren't at 1.2 yet. If you don't trust me though, you can surf around my site... it's legit (try the reviews, they're always fun). But if you want to wait, that's cool too.

Re: 1.2 Patch Pre-Release Interview

i downloaded and installed 1.2 incremental patch without any problems. although right now there is only about a dozen servers running it, so far it runs great. maybe faster...

OMG check this. Indian Scout, Level 3 admin, and very, very high up on the EA ladder. Or someone doing a very good impersonation has posted in BF2s.com the link to the new patch with a "have at it"

DLing now. This is great, beating the crowd and all. Some of the stuff addressed shouldn't have been as high a priority as say new game modes and the tk punishing system.
I hate those players that act like children when you beat them to a vehicle. They get all bent outta shape and try (and usually succeed) to make you tk them so they can punish. Also, I was playing tonight and picked some random guy up in an FAV. I drove towards some enemies I saw and he got out while I was driving. He got his ass ran over, needless to say. I quickly said I was sorry (even though it was obviously not my fault) and made sure there were no hard feelings. Seconds after my apology...
*You have been punished for a teamkill*
I went through the necessary measures to let him know it was an accident and he still punishes. This behaviour is rampant in the game and needs to be fixed. It really ruins it for a lot of us and I don't really understand why people like that play a teamwork oriented game. Mula_Operative, I would like to meet you so I could elbow you repeatedly in the face, have sex with your 18 year old sister, and then destroy your PC, Office Space style.

Re: 1.2 Patch Pre-Release Interview

Q: Hi there guy from EA/DICE. First of all, could you tell us your name?
A: There's is no plan for me to have a name right now. Possibly in future interviews I will tell you my name. Currently, I'm not aware that I even have an attribute like that.

Q: But you do work on BF2?
A: There are no plans for BF2 and I can't really comment anything on anything.

Q: You mentioned the word "community" a while ago?
A: Yes we are greatful for the community for being so community and helping us to really communityze(?) with the bf2-community, but currently, there are no further plans for community.

Q: Let's talk about the upcoming patch-
A: There are no plans for any patch.

etc. etc.

Anyhoo, is the "no friendly fire for mines" option going to be ON by default on ranked servers and does that include Claymores too?

U read my mind :)

Re: 1.2 Patch Pre-Release Interview

the ones that downloaded that patch from the german site, yeah it works, but it seems like a beta version of it cause if you look at your game still says v1.12 and what ever numbers after.

My server is patch and been patched since 11:30 pm (est) but they are waiting for the updated PB to come out

Re: 1.2 Patch Pre-Release Interview

Of the people that have played it does it look like they might have fixed the performance issues at all?

Re: 1.2 Patch Pre-Release Interview

hmm, downloaded from [MOD] E. Grey's link and the installer looked a bit funny and unofficial, and my game wont start now. Dunno why, just a heads up to all of you out there. I am rolling my computer back to a restore point before the patch now, and waiting for an official release lol. Wish I could try out to new patch now, before gf wakes up.
