Re: 1.2 Patch Released!

Can you revert to 1.12 and still play online? Or can you not rank up, connect, etc. If you don't have 1.2?

Re: 1.2 Patch Released!

AWESOME patch!

BF2 has alot of cool firefights now, and people really must use crawling to avoid being hit now with the increased accuracy.

To those with a bad framerate:
The game actually runs faster now after the static meshes optimizing.

Check your pc and Reinstall.

Personally I run BF2 @ 1920x1200 all high AAx4 AFx16!!!

X1900XT 512Mb for the win!

Re: 1.2 Patch Released!

I've noticed the helicopters last about as long as tanks now. jets can now be shot down.

Good, finally things are balanced better.. Now I can try to play some of the "air"maps again without seeing untouchable 100-1 k/d-ratio airwhores..

Fear my AA..

Re: 1.2 Patch Released!

Seems to compliment my style quite well as far as CQB. I hardly notice a difference while on foot. As far as air to air and ground to air its a whole new ballgame out there. If you miss your target you can bet your @$$ that your missle is going to find a friendly bird. Biggest problem I have with it is that you can't chuck a C4 further that 5 feet....I knew I should have gone for my expert explosives this week....damn ;p As far as technical issues I had none whatsoever. I downloaded the full patch and it worked flawless first time and as far as increased lag and reduced frames I am completely unaffected by any of that. The coolest thing I noticed is you can NOT be killed by friendly clays so maybe there is still hope for that expert xplosive yet. Oh well, adapt and overcome i spose, I have way to much bread into this game to bail out anytime soon!! Happy Hunting!

Re: 1.2 Patch Released!

I love this patch, BF2 is much better now, if they release the next patch like this one BF2 will become superior!

Re: 1.2 Patch Released!

Hmmmm PKM might be more accurate, but I lost the feel for it now...

Re: 1.2 Patch Released!

Have any tweaks been disabled? Can I still delete all the video files to speed up loading as per the tweakguides article?

Re: 1.2 Patch Released!

This patch is horribile.

My biggest complaint is the planes. Not only have EA made them completely weak but they have made the AA guns ridiculously powerful. If this wasn't bad enough, the plane missiles are now so accurate that you're pretty much going to destoy anything you lock onto.

So if you're not killed by some retard who's jumped onto an AA gun for 5 seconds then you're going to be killed by some complete noob who simply has to lock on and fire. This pretty much eliminates the need for practice/skill and removes dogfighting from the game.

I've spent the last 6 months becoming an awesome pilot only to have EA completely destroy the role of aviator. Before today I hadn't been shot down by an enemy aviator in about a month, however today I was shot down 5 times in one game! Go to hell EA!

Re: 1.2 Patch Released!

The patch is great!

All the whinning should be directed for the pause system not being corrected, or the "legs through walls" bug still existing.

As it comes to gameplay, its far better now! All weapons are now balanced, except the UBER NOOB dao and f2000, with those weapons its just too easy to kill.

All the airplane and helicopter sunday drivers, are complaining now... why is that? All you have to do is switch your main concern from ground vehicles to AA weapons. After you eliminate the AA threat (hellfires on heli, or machine gun driveby on airplanes) you can then go on with your regular business as a pilot.

This is how it should be from the start! AA has to be dangerous to air vehicles, and now they are, although ALL airvehicles are still the best vehicles in the game.

You just need to use your stupid BRAIN, and change the way you play!!!

I totally agree bro its just stupid to thing that one guy in a stinger can just click his mouse twice while you are doing every move in the book to avoid his missles there should be somekind of a medium cause whenever im in a plane tryin to dodge an aa now i can only dodge one missle and i get hit everytime with the other... i can understand Ea making aerial vehicles weak in may b one way but they did it in 6 different ways Less Armor, weaker blackhawk guns, Stronger AA, A tv missle that only shoots about 100 yards, less missles on a chopper, and to top it all off whenever someone has a lock on you and your in a chopper the countermeasures dont even do anything anymore!!!! As much as some people hate getting killed by planes and choppers i hate to tell all you losers but it takes alot more skill to fly a plane full speed and hit a moving vehicle than it does to sit in an AA site and hit the left mouse button, and i bet that every person that likes this new AA "fix" probably cant fly for your life

Ok dude but try and fly a chopper on dalian plant for 2 seconds when they have a guy on the aa you cant even hit him with the tv any more because it blows up after like 10 seconds by the time ur in range your blown to bits, and i do still concentrate my efforts on takin out the aa first but if he spots me while i kill him 90 percent of the time he hits me with one missle and my health is down to 4 bars and the second i get locked on again im done there has to be some kind of medium man u cant just get nailed every time theres a lock theres no way to escape another plane from shooting you at least once unless the pilots a complete dumbass i still enjoy to fly but im never gunna have the rounds like i used to where i would go 60 and 2 in a plane now its more like 15 and 8

Re: 1.2 Patch Released!

Glad some people are seeing this patch for what it is - garbage. Unstable, bad decision on gameplay changes and causes performance degredation. Now vote with your wallet by foregoing anymore DICE games and/or expansion packs and buy Enemy Territory: Quake Wars when it comes out later this year. That game is where the skill and action will be.
