New BF2 Patch

[MasterFlash]

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.

Looks good will give it a go tonight, hope the AA is a lot better. Would have prefered higher damages on the sniper, but if they have increased accuracy thats a bonus anyway. Interesting that they have improve the G3 and SA80, thought they were good anyway??

[Flibb]

I agre with you plile, they had a good attempt at geting rid of buny hopping in DoD, seems to have worked pretty well.

[BlackDwarf]

I might get back into BF2 once this new patch comes out.

One thing that really peeved me is people 'dolphin diving' and jumping about like its UT2K4.

[Flibb]

Ooooo dont get me started on bunny hopping. Couple of servers ban for it, bloody irratating.

[Gordy]

So they are changing a whole heap of stuff to affect game play. This is going to be a big change to the game.

Sounds like all air vehicles are going to be useless in the next patch.

Bo. Lox.

Crap in jets/helis? If you complain enough, everyone else will be too!

Thats what it boils down to. All the people who cant use air vehicles complain and complain; and it gets nerfed.

[Flibb]

Jets would work better if the antitank missile bloke could hit them, or the engineer could build AA sites.

I've been taken down with a SRAW before

The same, oh, the shame.
