1.2 Patch Released!

Re: 1.2 Patch Released!

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

Wrong, 'brother', aircraft were WAYY overpowered as they were - the only reason the battlefield franchise exists is because 1942 was nigh perfectly balanced (some may say accidentally, judging by the sequels)

Bring competitive gaming back!!!!!

Re: 1.2 Patch Released!

Noticed a fair bit of whining from the (amateur) pilots. With so much whining AA will probably be reduced again.

One thing I have noticed is that high pingers seems to cause alot more lag than they did in 1.12.

As I said in my previews post, I don't mind AA so much, you can still get away from it if you hasve any flares on you when an AA lock on you. But if you have a enemy plane behind you you're ****ked. ANY new pilot can bring you down now... as I said before, my 132 hours of learning, going from n00b to pretty damn good as a pilot, all the skills that I've learnt over all this time, have been ****ed on! All my piloting skills have been taken away... just... like... that!

It takes a lot of good skill to be a good pilot. I could avoid the missles before, but now, jets are almost useless.

Re: 1.2 Patch Released!

Look man contrary to your belief ya i never said they werent overpowered but now the scales are just tipped way too much, do u really think that alls a person should do to get a kill is hop in the aa and click his mouse button when the he hears the beep a godamn monkey could do that, if theyre gunna make aa so it can kill any air vehicle that easy why dont they make some other way to lock on like u have to lead ur target to get the lock or something just pointing and clickin is too damn easy, there is just no skill involved in the aa so u could get killed by a toothless retart.

Re: 1.2 Patch Released!

30 hours later I finally got the patch to work (even though it still said it failed halfway through so dunno how stable it'll be). I was able to log onto a server this morning just long enough to tell if my new unlock was there and whether I could connect. Hopefully it'll be stable but I doubt a patch that fails halfway through actually finished doing what it had to do. I've literally run 5 different versions of both the full and incremental patches about 10 times each including three fresh installs of both bf2 and special forces.

Re: 1.2 Patch Released!

I saw the red name bug twice in my 1st game lol :-x. But everything else owns, though that accrute sniper which can easily headshot you is anoying. SOOOOO funny when people try and bunny hop and shoot you, easy kills (which is good cause i'm crap and killing others :-x)

Re: 1.2 Patch Released!

Quite honestly,it hasto be the coding,I can run UT2004 Maxed out no lag,no stutter,CoD2 the same,any game pretty much,same deal. Im upgrading my card (not because of BF2,but cause I want to)from a GeForce FX5200 128mb to the new 7000 series pci express,and will continue to use my ocz dual channel high speed 1 gig ram ect. haveto upgrade my processor cause the pci express board and combo Im gettn doesn t use socket A amd 2500.
Even with getup I should be able to run pretty good,however it doesn t,everything on low. Theres somethin real screwy here.Why can UT2004 run smooth as silk on this rig and not BF2? I say either bad coding or (CONSPIRACY):|: bad buisness,like force the people to buy super high end cards by makin a game that only supports it. With todays world and buisness ethics it wouldn t surprise me.
Even UT2007 says that ll it support geForce 6 cards.anything higher is a bonus.

UT2004 is basically UT2003. Same engine graphically with maybe a minor tweek. UT2004 is mostly DX7 and DX8 technology. There are no DX9 graphical features in UT2004. So UT2004 uses the CPU way more than the GPU....it basically pushes more pixels to make things look good instead using more advanced DX9 shaders to to get things to look good.

You can see this on review web sites that still use UT2004 as a benchmark. Basically on a fast system with a new video card....all of the video cards are very close in FPS say from a 6600 to a 7800GTX.

BF2 is DX9 galor..........almost all of the graphical glory is pushed off onto the GPU freeing up the CPU to do other things. In fact I have seen bechmarks that show BF2 does not use much more than a 1ghz CPU. After 1ghz of CPU speed the graphics dont go up much in speed........until increase the GPU power.

Re: 1.2 Patch Released!

So do you think we will be getting any more free unlocks in the future, like if a new refixed patch comes out.

Re: 1.2 Patch Released!

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 agree that the AA was too weak and needed to be improved but the super effective fighter missiles are overkill. Fighters are no longer the best vehicles on the battlefield.

In my opinion the game would be much more balanced if they had improved the AA missiles but left the fighter missiles alone. Dogfighting with another skilled aviator was one of the most enjoyable parts of the game, and EA in their infinate wisdom have removed it from the game.

If you had clocked up over 350 hours on BF2 (mainly as an aviator) you might just understand what I'm talking about.

Not to mention the whole host of other flaws/bugs that EA promised to fix without success.

As someone said earlier, I'll be waiting for the new Enemy Territory and giving any future EA/DICE games a big miss.

Re: 1.2 Patch Released!

I guess we have all the pilots b!tching now. LOL

Nice to see smoke streaming out the back of the planes and helicopters.

All I can say to you pilots is ADAPT, just like us ground plodders had to!

Re: 1.2 Patch Released!

waaaaaaaaaHHHHhhhhhhh!!!!!!! I'm never playing BF2 again, I'm waiting on something else coming out so I can BITCH ABOUT THAT INSTEAD!!!

Bunch of whining loosers, bu%%er off then and play something else. Cryin you eyes out cos you die 8 times in a server and only get 15 kills. Yeah we've seen you and you other 5 buddies hangin round waiting to rush for the ONLY plane to appear. So you can't get your 80/2 anymore??? awwwww shame.

As for "alls a person should do to get a kill is hop in the aa and click his mouse button". FFS all a person has to do is aim properly and let of 5 or 6 rounds to get a kill as well! Oops wait, the guys on the ground don matter do they, I mean..... "THE F*%KING AUDACITY THEY HAVE TO SHOOT AT US l337 PILOTS, IT'S A DISGRACE AND I'M NOT PLAYING ANYMORE."

Boo f&*king hoo.

Re: 1.2 Patch Released!

The only people bitching are people who used to dolphin dive and thought this was perfectly normal and vultures who could only play inside a plane and thought they were f*cking l33t players just because they could score their massive kills. Here's a news flash for these people: aircraft were unbalanced; AA was useless. It's not your skills that made you rank that much kills; it was the game's lack of balance. A balance that is being brought forth now.

Instead of bitching that you have your precious toy taken away from you, realize you're on the same level other people are now. Try learning to play as a soldier for a change instead of just repeatedly exploiting on what was previously the most powerful killing vehicles on the game.

AMEN to that m8y

yep you bust your ass in your little 2 man squad pullling of tactics that would make James Bond cry just to get a flag. Over and Over again. Killing peeps left right and center.
then pilot joe with his 70/2 top of the board at the end of round kinda pi55es you off. I like piloting, Ive only had maybe 10 hours in total in a plane, but in that short time Ive become quite good, in the rare occasion Ive jumped in one its lasted me the whole round and Ive often felt a little bit guilty too, racking up lots of kills while the AA is whizzing past me time after time. And theres me in the air killing folks and not lifting a damn finger to actually help win the game/round.

I say good on ya EA! this aint a dogfighting game, now its balanced and you'll have to adapt. Why dont you try actually helping getting flags with your team! End of story.
