Dark0ne Posted May 23, 2006 Share Posted May 23, 2006 Don't think anyone has posted this yet...point of interest -- Commanders can drop vehicles? That sounds cool...but, uh...can you imagine a hummer landing on your head? Ouch :P Hi Everyone, Patch 1.3 has now been released and is available for immediate download. The release of this patch is in line with our ongoing effort to make the game as enjoyable as possible, releasing quicker fixes addressing some of the things that you want to see changed. New Features: * Co-op: Players can now enjoy single player levels on Internet and LAN play with both Bots and human players. We have added a few options to allow the server admin to modify how the bots behave in game. Co-op play is not permitted on ranked servers. * Air Dropped Vehicles: Squad members can no send a request to commanders to drop vehicles at their location. Bug Fixes & Gameplay Tweaks: * Ban list will no longer be wiped in the event of a server crash. * Abandoned helicopters will no longer remain in flight. * If a player joins a squad while dead they will not be permitted to use the squad leader as a spawn point until they have spawned at a flag once. * Flag Capture bar will now react accurately to players entering the capture radius. * Friendly vehicles will no longer appear as valid targets for missile systems. The box with the X through it will still appear however the locked tone will not sound and missiles fired will not track the friendly target. * Fixed the crash that sometimes occurred when switching between game types. * Fixed a tech hang when creating a single player account from an offline account. * Fixed Issues with remote console and Linux servers. * Fixed the issue that prevented players from ranking up in-game when playing on their regular server. * Fixed the bug that altered mini map behavior. * Fixed issue with Special Forces rank names. * Fixed repairing HUD for the engineer when in a vehicle.

mogambo Posted May 23, 2006 Share Posted May 23, 2006 oh and just for you MadAnt... DONT INTERUPT THE PATCH PROCESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
loveme4whoiam Posted May 23, 2006 Share Posted May 23, 2006 A guy in my clan has already shown me two links in the totalbf2 forums listing just dumb stuff that has occurred through the vehicle air-drop feature. To echo all of those wise gamers, and myself when I first heard about the feature - Unthought-out gimmick. I'd be disappointed if I hadn't expected EA to screw the game even more. I wonder if BF 2142 will sell a single copy.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MadAntUK Posted May 24, 2006 Share Posted May 24, 2006 Don't think anyone has posted this yet...point of interest -- Commanders can drop vehicles? That sounds cool...but, uh...can you imagine a hummer landing on your head? Ouch :P Something else to unexpectedly crash your plane in to. There you are, flying along, no AA or F-35B's around to bother you and WHAM, a bloody HUMMER appears in the middle of the sky from nowhere and you cant do nothin' but smash into it. That along with the UAV’s, AMMO Crates and ARTY makes the skies a crowded and dangerous place to be. oh and just for you MadAnt... DONT INTERUPT THE PATCH PROCESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!!! Deffinitly not. Last time I had to rebuild a new hard drive. To be fair, the old HD was on its way out, and I dont think the patch was ever going to work - to many bad sectors, and that was always going to be the end of it. Another problem with my laptops, they get banged around so much travelling and the HD's dont last. Cheers, MadAnt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sREa Posted May 27, 2006 Share Posted May 27, 2006 BF 2142 seems cool, I'll buy it anyways. DICE Canada have not released anything good yet... only BF Vietnam if anything. But I can tell you it is not their fault.... EA is a huge load of crap. Makeing them release stuff all the time, BF will end up as the Medal of Honour series, the first 2 games will be a happy memory. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BFV wasnt that good IMO, it was a bit rough round the edges and the maps just felt cluttered to me, BF1942 was better. I wonder if 2142 is going to more like 1942 in play, with objectives and the ability to control the larger vehicles. Just a passing thought though, but did any one play joint ops, i think some lements from that game should be implemented into BF, using chinooks to transport vehicles is a bonus for peoplpe who like teamplay.

3rdegree Posted May 30, 2006 Share Posted May 30, 2006 BF 2042 looks wack, another reason to spend money on a new pc and have the agony of patch that fixes a patch, that fixs a patch, that fixs a patch. BF 1942 took a long time before it was sorted were as Desert Combat sorted itself in DC FINAL. BUT I have faith in BF2 and will play it until the earth splits in two and we all fall down a big hole in the ground :wacko: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
