Battlefield 2 Patch Details
by Maarten Goldstein, Dec 13, 2005 2:21pm PSTThe UK Electronic Arts forums have a post by Battlefield 2 producer Armando "Aj" Marini, outlining some of the changes being worked into the next Battlefield 2 patch. Some of the upcoming changes include
- Helicopter now carry 8 missiles rather than 14 - 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 - Players can no longer jump and shoot at the same time - "Prone Spamming" is now fixed - "Sprint exploit" is now fixed - Reload while sprinting has been enabled - Chinese and MEC APCs can now shoot through penetrable materials - Medic defibrillator paddles have been adjusted. They now reload while not in use.Thanks Sgt_Boomstick.

I disagree with this change. It should just be a wild very penalized shot. Not allowing you to fire while jumping is not realistic at all. I have shot a real automatic weapon on the run and while it is possible, aiming is of course totally compromised, but it is possible. Some guy in the thread (Shacktool) thinks that you can't shoot on the run. I say to him that apparently he has just never been shot at. I assure you there ARE situations where running and shooting is a distinct need. What EA has created here now is an open battlefield that when you are shooting is now reduced to a lot of mini gunfights at the O.K. coral. Not very real at all.

C'mon, DICE. This really is stupid. It's like it's in continual beta cycle and I've coughed up my $75 to test it for you over all these months.

Seriously. You know it's a sad day when you expect a feature in the patch instead of a feature in the game. The last patch fuxored my game installation and I still haven't felt like reinstalling it. This, and the fact that it won't normally install on my machine because I only have 1.6gb free on C: even though D: and E: have 40gb free. Please, EA, do a patch that works. That's the most expected feature.

Also, what about an option that makes iraqis red, americans blue. Or something along those lines. My small brain can't handle that shit.
And widescreen monitors please! FFS!
But I can handle this so far. I may reinstall for this patch.

The end result is that you actually see less than you would in a 4:3 resolution. It's bullshit.

It really must be difficult making an application that takes a command line argument and uses it as a password to join a server. That one must have kept their best engineers stumped for the past year.
Pilots should fear the AA...not the other way around. Right now you can almost see that big ass grin on the pilots face as they dive down on an AA site and bomb it. Hell, they are so confident that they usually don't waist bombs and just gun it down.

They should really level down the airplanes, they're over-powered.
What is the date there aiming at for a prossible release?
Also, the AA changes sound delicious. Hopefully this will make the fixed AA positions useful against moving targets, and since the air assets have lower HP they should in theory be easier to kill. I love killing pilots. :)

And how about being able to TAB to Password just like you can tab to the port number when entering an ip...

I might try this out, but let me guess, patch isn't coming till February
I hope it turns out good. It's going to change the infantry combat I already like, and I have had no problems with players jumping and shooting. I don't want my movement to be limited. The rest of the changes sounds good though.

Great changes so far, although I'm not sure how much I will like the no shooting while jumping fix. Woot for better AA and less plane spam!

Now whenever I join a game it runs like shit, totally unplayable. It's happened since the patch before the last patch.
My friends exactly the same. When we start a server and play offline it runs as smooth as it did before. Go online, no matter what the pings are like it's unplayable. WTF?
I played every night until I got made corporal and then stopped playing for a bit, went back after the patch and it's gone to shit?

This should have been done ages ago.
