Next BF2 Patch

From the EAUK Forums

Hi all,

We are currently working on the next Battlefield 2 update. We believe this update has some significant improvements that everyone will appreciate. We’ve seen the discussions on the forum and will do our best to address as many issues as possible, as soon as possible.

Here is a quick run down of just some of the issues we have been working on.

- Helicopter now carry 8 missiles rather than 14
- TV-Guided missile now have a shorter range
- Hit points on all air vehicles has been reduced
- AA missile lock has been improved
- Support kits have had their primary weapons adjusted for accuracy
- Sniper kits have had their primary weapons adjusted for accuracy
- Anti-Tank kits have had their primary weapons adjusted for accuracy
- \"Dolphin Diving\" is no longer possible
- Players can no longer jump and shoot at the same time
- \"Prone Spamming\" is now fixed
- \"Sprint exploit\" is now fixed
- The Sa80 weapon has been improved
- The G3A3 weapon has been improved
- Reload while sprinting has been enabled
- Chinese and MEC APCs can now shoot through penetrable materials
- Damage decreased for the M134
- Medic defibrillator paddles have been adjusted. They now reload while not in use.

We'll be announcing further additions to this list, but that will have to wait until the next update. This is NOT the complete list of items we are working on. As we have more items go through testing and we are sure of a change we will update you.

For now, cheers.

Discuss amongst yourselves 😄

I am just a little ferklempt, This may be part of the missing piece. I hope so!! But the question is, what new issues will this patch bring. My money is that EA re-implemented the "crash to desktop" error we all loved so much. It's been a while since we saw CTD. ;-)

My vote is for the memory leak. That was my favorite.

It did take EA/DICE a long time to resolve the BF42 issues IIRC, and it wasn't until the 1.3 or 1.4 patches that things really stabalized. Maybe we will get lucky on this one. The changes listed make me happy - assuming they are implemented.

Hehe you didn't get me addicted to BF42 until 1.4 and 1.5 came out like the week after I bought it.

i miss 42,

CATs have dropped back and are playing 42 again. They will be playing on Friday night.

I don't know what prone spamming or the sprint exploit is. Anyone else know?

once in a while PBF is actually usefull for getting some information:

prone spamming - this is where players set up a macro using their nostromo or other device to prone then unprone over and over again. The result is that they are a big blur and the hitboxes are screwed.

sprint exploit - apparently in some cases (maybe all?) you can still sprint even though you are out of stamina.

I really like that list of fixes. Let's hope they pull it off....... If nothing else, these fixes will work well with the mods coming out.

So, are they going to play with us on Friday Night?

Not unless we go to their server and play BF42. They may be playing EOD or Pirates instead of Vanilla - it hasn't been decided yet. We could play there, I could do either that or BF2 CTF.

[b]And still no word on the damn RED

*sigh* Rat Bastards

I haven't seen the red blue thing too much lately, but that is probably just blind luck more than anything. Now that I have said something, it'll happen next time I play 😄

FYI, Friday is my wife's 30th. I doubt I will be online.
