BF2 Patch Update from EA for 1.2

Dolphin diving and bunny hopping doesn't bother me at all, its those damn noob tubes. Also, eliminating dolphing diving is going to make it impossible to jump out the windows of the palace on warlord.

~$10 for each pack, I'm game. Though I'm not sure I like the idea it's Download only :(.

And . . . err . . . I thought we ALWAYS had attack jets? (6 Missiles, 2 bombs - a la Mig-29 & F-18 . . .?)

Friggin EA...what a joke. They are going to squeeze the money orange until every drop is out of the community. They should take a page of the hand out. "How to treat community 101" by Epic. Bonus pack after bonus pack for free. God I hate EA. Count me out for these joke packs.

True, EA does it for the $ (who doesn't?). However, you can't compare the features included in BF2 to those in CS:S . . . they're completely different.

If by features you mean a game has developer support and regular updates including free official maps, then yeah, you can't comapre the two.
 
Added unlocks for Sniper and AT kits

Well this just sucks. They actually release kits for my two most played classes, and I won't be able to get them till my next rank, which is 29,906 more points :( I knew I shouldn't have unlocked that damn MG36 :(

You'll probably still be able to jump and go prone, you just won't be able to shoot.

I can't stand the diving personally and if it means I can't jump out 1 damn window on 1 map I don't care.
 
Looks like the first one to be released is European military.

Possibly WWII? :shrug:

I may pick it up. Although I do want SF first.
 
I see one minor "performance" fix.. but is this fix for the major performance issues?

Pff.. we shall see... we shall see.

How about removing that annoying CD check. That crap gets old. It's an online game with a unique ID... Why in the hell does it need a CD check?!

Fix the invisible walls. Flying a jet - and boom - dead. Thank you invisible wall.

NO.

This game has the worse authenticity check I've ever seen.

You don't need a valid CD-Key to play, you don't even need a real email address (mine was fakeemail@void.com or something).

If anything, they need to add a better system. Something similar to Steams login would be great.

Then howcome my brother kept getting " Your CD-Key is Invalid." when he was trying to play BF2 online?
 
Even though EA has every right to make money off their own games, but what is up with fucking downloadable packs that cost money? I mean come on, even Epic games release packs all for free.

I like a lot of things about the next patch, it ain't bad.

The principal sucks, but $10 is nothing...if you don't have $10 then I suggest getting a job.
 
This patch looks to be awesome!!! I can not wait! Yea like Volkum said, the principle sucks, but 10 bucks is nothing, for those people who play WoW they pay $15 a month for updates. So I don't think 10 bucks is bad at all.

Give them $10 for new skins? f that. I rather buy a new game for $20 rather than spending it on 2 freaking packs that should be free in the first place. The reason why Wow cost so much are the servers they have. EA host less than 1/3 of the BF2 servers.
 
With WWII weapons and vehicles. Now THAT would be FUN. I might actually stop playing BF42 and start playing BF2-buggy.
:eek:
 
The updated packs for money is just silly. I understand releasing an expansion to a game and selling it, if that expansion includes a number of additional features, classes, AND maps (like Special forces). However, a couple maps does not justify a cost to download if you ask me. Even all the past Battlefield releases have included maps in their 'regular' updates. Almost every FPSer I have played in history that released new 'official' maps did so in their free updates. It's called giving back and keeping the game fun and interesting for the people that already bought your title.

I am glad they are addressing DD, I hope the fix works, but I hope you still have the ability to jump and dive (say behind a rock or out a first story window). I guess this would mean limiting such functionality to only one jump-dive combo in a certain amount of time or removing the ability to shoot while doing it.

The noob canons sound like they got fixed like Americas Army did it. The grenade (like in real life) needs to rotate a set amount of times in the air before arming. I think it's three? If this is the case i think it's the best fix for the problem.

All the other fixes are fine and dandy. I am pretty used to the 'normal bugs' within the interface and the few specific map bugs that I can avoid them or just forget their there.

WTF!? Alright, this is probably the first time I'm starting to join the angry side. What, by the end of February I'm going to be riding up on $100 spent on BF2 if I go for there "packs." Wow holy crap. Can't come out with an expansion & two "packs" within a year and pretend you didn't hold back on the originals etc.

This is a good point. I was just about to get my copy of BF2 when i saw the expansion next to it and what you said occured to me. I'm a newcomer and i'm gonna need to pay for all that just to keep up?!
 
The onlything about BF2 that really gets me is that with a real .50CAL weapon, you can pick people off from over a mile away. In BF2 they could be standing still infront to you and you still miss.

I play Support. And as much fun as that gun is I very rarely ever get any kills with it because you can't hit the broad side of a barn with it.

Although last night I found probably one of the best hiding spots in the game, Strike at Karkand, Train Wreck all the way at the other end under the derailed car just at the opening in the fence. You can see the staircase, behind the builduing, in front of the building. And with a good UAV placement you can see behind you. I managed to rack 14 kills under that car. They tried everything. Flanking me, getting behind me, coming head on.

And the only reason why they got me was because they took out the train wreck flag and then bum rushed me. But I still managed to get 2 of them as they were 'nading the train car.

I also dislike the inaccuracy of the sniper rifle. I can understand the M249 being inaccurate but the sniper rifle? 2 shots one kill?

$10 wouldn't be the end of the world like other people are saying, but $30 was alot for what SF is. It's "worth it", because it puts the infantry back in the game a bit more and has a few cool tricks. i.e. It's fun. It did feel pricey for what would have been involved in making it. Oh well, no biggie. But I guess these bonus packs are the end. I mean two? I guess they wanted the full $50 for SF. These belonged in that. Anyways, the clincher is it's like $100 within a year. Didn't this game come out in like June? Unless they moved a bunch of people onto the BF2 project, a PC game at that, and hired a bunch of BF2 coding soldiers, it's pretty obvious we're getting soaked. I've thrown in some coin on a group server before, like many others, this isn't WoW.

Since I love the game, I'd still buy it and SF. Just maybe forget the packs. A lot of the BF42 expansions didn't even take off. I have hopes for SF to remain popular, but I don't know how many are going to fall for EA's tactics.

Either that, or they'll put a timer in to prevent people from jumping and going prone in rapid succession.

Is that the dive in the trailer? The one with the guy that nearly got swooped by the jets? No way they'll take that out, it's part of the advertisement (and it looked cool!).

Sniper rifles are balanced...which is why they aren't 1 shot kills with pinpoint accuracy. You can't always have 100% realism, you've also gotta have balance between the classes.
