BF2S Forums BF2 1.5 Final 1st Sep boosters will be free

Personally, I'm fucking tired of instaproners. Imagine, you're having an awesome game on Oman, slaughtering infidels with your g3, when you get bombed/tank'd/knifed/c4'd and spawn at river fort. All seems fine, until you here a call for a medic from a nearby comrade and see his corpse. You look around and see a fool bunnyhopping down to the river, so you run to the sandbags, take aim, and blow him away. you then proceed to do a sweep of the area. As you approach the destroyed hut, a medic whore with the g36e runs around the corner, jumps to avoid your first burst, slams the z key so hard it cracks, fires off two shots before he hits the ground, both hitting you in the head. You then watch in fury as he shoots your body in the crotch and t-bags you.

a medic whore with the g36e runs around the corner

a medic? surely not?

jumps to avoid your first burst

waaah this guy did an easily predictable move and I couldnt hit him while he was flying defenselessly through the air ;_; aiming's so hard

slams the z key so hard it cracks, fires off two shots before he hits the ground, both hitting you in the head.

He fired two shots in single fire mode, both of which hit you in the head, before even touching the ground? not whining about people who were better than him and instead learning to play the fucking game must have payed off

So if I understand this correctly (Not having looked at any of the details) DICE (once again) has completely ignored the requests of the masses and have changed some shit that nobody wants?

lol dont know wtf you are talking about there, I never understood why people who dont like bf2 go on the bf2s forums, and pretend they go on for something other than bf2

I play it once and a while.  Not a religious fanboi like you.

I agree that implementing changes in game mechanics at this point is sort of silly - bugfixes should have been the top priority.

But as someone who hasn't played the beta, is this really a game-breaking change?  I get that it's unneeded, but does it take more than a round of gameplay to get used to it?  Most people are saying that it's a minor change that doesn't affect gameplay much, whereas others act as if the game is not going to be worth playing...

From what I've read, it seems like the worst side-effect of the patch is going to be adjusting to it for a round or two, but after that point most everyone should be fine...is that pretty much the case?

No, I've always said it's pointless putting gameplay changes into this patch because BF3 won't be too long, the annoying thing about the changes to gameplay are that no one asked for them, look how many people play 1.41 and how much they obviously like it the way it is, I remember before the 1.5 beta 1 was out, everyone was so excited about the 1.5 patch, talking about 3 main things- J10 v F35, blackhawk miniguns being more powerful, and better hitreg.
They bring out the betas, with prone deviation, jump/prone delay, falcon controls, 10x more bugs than there already is, joysticks not working, not being able to alt/tab, commander glitches, menu glitches, not being able to apply settings etc etc all people wanted was a few things to make 1.41 a bit better than it already is and it seems liek they are changing it all, for no reason.
I would be more than happy if they completely scrapped 1.5, theres no way I'd stop playing if they didnt bring it out, at least then I'd know all the servers would be sorted and I could carry on playing the way ive always played

It isn't game-breaking at all.
Lots of people on the EA UK forum are moaning about how it will supposedly "slow down" the gameplay although nothing related to movement speed has been changed. That's about all arguments they have.

All it does is make your accuracy worse in the first 2 seconds after hitting the ground in prone position, effectively stopping the exploitation of the "insta-prone" bug.

After a few times when you have reflexively hit the Z key in a duel you'll quickly learn not to prone anymore in the open, but rather just crouch for additional accuracy in a duel, and only use prone when you're in a good position and can monitor the enemy.

For me the game looks and feels much more like a war/action movie now with taking cover and safely approaching dangerous places, instead of retro-style Quake 3 Arena gameplay.

Hey guys, remember me?
Just a quick update. We have what we believe is the final version of Battlefield 2 v1.50. We have a little bit of office politics to sort out regarding the update but once thats cleared up we'll be good to release it.
Unfortunately I can't tell you what the office politcis decision is about but it is worth the slight extra delay. There won't be another public Beta of this version, instead we will do a closed Beta to get a faster turn around and is basically to make sure things are still OK like the connection to servers issue.

You will need to have Battlefield 2 installed to version 1.41. We won't support installing over a previous 1.50 Beta version (it might work without issue but it might not so to be safe install over 1.41) so feel free to uninstall/delete that version.

Office politics? I wreckon they've added AF and EF free with it.

Good news though, no?
