They aren't balanced. Chinese jets can take out American jets way to easy, a lot more maneuverable

I completly agree. I am a good pilot and love flying in BF2, but I always try to get the Chinese jets. I also like the MEC MIG 29, again a lot better than the American JSF, in the game.

Those servers haven't updated to 1.4. Patience, my young grasshopper. My guess is by tomorrow night all will settle.
 
Currently downloading via torrent, was running from 200-400kbs dropped down to 40-50kbs at about 96%.

Once in the city it's like the SF map

From my point of view that's a compliment since I have more hours played in SF then vanilla. After Warlord, Ghost Town is my favorite map. Only thing I don't like about Jalabad map is that it's unbalanced. The MEC loose most of the time.
 
What? No more tbagging? :( Here I was, ready to dish out some Lipton Brisk.

Currently downloading both the full and incremental (just incase and not at home anyway).
 
What are you guys talking about? No tea-bagging? I fail to see that listed in the patch notes... :confused: The only thing I see remotely close is a prone to crouch delay. (the opposite direction of tea bagging which is stand to crouch)
 
Make sure you use the full version and not the incremental. The incremental patches rarely work right.

It really is a great and fun Multiplayer.

We should all pick a week and not buy or play any EA games. I wonder if that would send a message. Have small boycotts.... no matter how badly I wanted to play I could always find something else that was fun.
Click to expand...

Impractical.

Make the boycott a month, then maybe they'll start to take notice.

To EA:

You get no more of my money for a title until 6-9 months after it's release. By then maybe you'll have woken up from your greed-induced naps and reluctantly let the devs fix the (#@*% that you should have had fixed before you rushed it out the door half-assed.

(*#!@(#%&#@% EA.
 
So uhh... the C4 throw distance has been reduced, too. Seeing how you could only just about drop C4 at your feet before, does this mean when I throw it, it's going to stick to me and I'll have to go Jihad style on some tanks?
 
If my AT rockets still continue to go through the cars, or shoot 2 at the time, or don
t shoot at all, and it won't hit the moving cars...

:mad: :mad: :mad:

What do they mean that ranked servers force unlocks now? Does that mean everyone gets
unlocks no matter what or something?
 
OK, I've uninstalled + reinstalled BF2, patched with the full 1.4 download, and now it CTD while it's loading the map. It's done this twice in a row.

W the F?
 
I poop bigger than this patch, bah! This excerpt was taken from bf2tracker site:

After much anticipation the new patch featuring the new “Road to Jalalabad” map which is sponsored by Comcast is available for download.

So I guess there is at least something different to look at, for three seconds, before I get mowed down by planes, heli's or uav's. I hope the map is a pretty green....
 
thanks BIG TIME Rhentno that made my day.

EXACTLY what they don't want to deal with...well that and the crashes
and the roll bugs and anything else that is F up in the game.

LOOK LOOSER just buy the damn thing.. and by patches we don't give a damn if
it works or not..
oh and pre order the next looser title we will sell...it won't work either but you are toooooo
fing stupid to think just buy buy buy

Didnt last too long...USA seems to win espically if they capture the MEC mesque and lower spawn. Artillery is effective on about 2 outta the 6 spawns. I tried my hardest to get arty kills but no go. I got fed up and eventually started to drop vehicles for myself to c4 bomb tanks i spotted, or kami-kazi over mines.

I like how we got a new map, but its not balanced at all. The mec need a noncap spawn, which I think would even it out better. I wish there was another new map or two.

Im disappointed in this patch.

The irony in your post is astounding.

How does someone "look looser"

What is a "looser title"?

Please don't try to flame and call people "fing stupid" without knowing how to spell yourself.

I'm still trying to figure out what "fing" is.

You also used the wrong form of "buy".

I could keep going but I'm sure this is enough to make you look like an even bigger fool!
 
This may sound stupid but, if you get the full patch don't you have to uninstall and then reinstall the game to use it? I don't relish that thought, not to mention that every time I've done that I've had to deal with that annoying in-game voice that "teaches" you about the game and what to do. Now if there was a way to turn that voice off I might be interested in going that way.

More than likely I'll go with the incremental patch as I have never had a problem with them in the past.

I hope they really did fix the red tag bug. For the most part I haven't really been bothered by this bug as I haven't really noticed it all that often until just the other day. I was playing in the Sharqi Penensula map and I had just spawned when I see a sniper a little ways in front of me with his back to me. He had a red name. I thought that maybe the red name tag bug was happening but couldn't be sure since snipers from both teams look pretty much the same. Then I thought that if I looked at the team lists I could see if he was on my team and when I did his name appeared in the enemies list so I killed him. Next thing I know I'm punished for team killing. Sometimes you just have no way of knowing that the person you're shooting at is actually on your team.

Oh well. Now it makes sense to me though. Lastnight I was playing and I didn't realize that the 1.4 patch was out. I kept wondering why the server list in the browser kept getting smaller and smaller everytime I did an update server list.
 
Full patch takes you from ANY patchlevel to 1.4
Incremental patch takes you from 1.3 ONLY to 1.4

Bah it seemed kinda fishy that EA would give us something for free, and now it seems that it was sponsored by someone. monkeys.

Anyway, I installed incremental patch and had no problems running the game, all is smooth and nice.

pfft fix/add something worthwhile, nah they dont do that, LOL. what do u think they are paid programmers?, pfft we all know they throw a bunch of monkeys from the same bloodline as those that can write shakespeare into a un-air conditioned office.
Eureka im on to something.
 
aaa the patch is pretty good, really like the new map it reminds me a little bit of BHD in that small city type way, lots of buildings to climb up and snipe, great cqb action, all in all the new map is a well needed change i think.But that's just one man's opp.

No. It means now you can't turn off unlocks in a ranked server.
 
I didn't much care for Road to Jalalaland after playing on it for about a half hour last night. It did remind me a bit of Ghost Town but without the air/anti-air. I thought to be a bit boring and it seems that the USA side has an unfair advantage. (because of un-cap spawn) All US needs to do is capture a rear flag and watch MEC fold. I like the environment and the lighting used on the map and in general it looks nice. I didn't see any good spots for snipers but I need to explore it a bit more. At least it was free... :)
 
That was pretty much it, the imbalance and lack of air stuff - a good helicopter crew could at least prolong the round before US wins.

Also, was it just me, or does anyone else get the impression that there's about three M1A2s to every T-90?

That's the way it seems to me when the US gets the closest flag to their un-cap.
