Patch v1.3
================================================================================

NEW FEATURES

- Air dropped vehicles:
Squad members can now send a request up the chain of command for a vehicle to
be dropped at their location.

- Co-op:
Co-op Mode allows you to play Single Player levels on the Internet and LAN with
both AI controlled bots and human players. Several new options have been created
that will allow the server creator to modify how the bots behave in game.

Number of Bots: This setting allows you to determine the total number of bots that
will spawn in game.

Bot Ratio: This setting allows you to determine the percentage of total bots that
will spawn for each team. For example, setting this value to 25 means that 25% of
the total bots will spawn in Team 1, and 75% in Team 2. Team 1 is always the MEC,
Chinese, or their allies, while Team 2 is always the USA, EU, and their allies.

Bot Difficulty: This setting determines the skill level of the bots. 10 is easiest,
100 is the most difficult.

- Default Kit Selection:
The kit that you used last is remembered at the beginning of the round and between
maps.

i installed the incremental and i now have some issues with my server list
it only shows up randomly and refuses to show me the actual players in the server and the players that are in it

bf2 doesnt even load up...

Doesn't sound good thus far. (sigh)

As with all the previous EA patches for this game, some people will have no problem and some will not even be able to play depends on how thier game is configured in windows and how the file system is set up. Make sure that you actually apply the patch to where ur BF2 files are in your file system.

Just got killed by a vehicle landing on me head lol

hahahahaahah well that most have been fun

Sounds interesting so far guys keep up the posts. I realize like in the above post some will not like it while others will. For the most part I like the award criteria because it is realistic now and you do not have to sit in vehicles for 2000 hours or more. And for those high players upset I doubt you will see most of them playing in 6 months anyways.. I could be wrong but i sure would be bored or at least need a break after 2500+ hours of playing!

I am interested IS THE RED BUG FIXED????????????  Please reply!! Keep up the posts.

- Fixed the bug where helicopters abandoned in the air would continue flying.

YAY for EA

the new award criteria's are true? : (
im at school so i cant get the patch till later, but right now it sounds like its not that great, but ill have to see.

It appears that way.  I only played for a bit but I did get an award that was otherwise unreachable for me for quite sometime.

They have killed squads...

As soon as i got into a game i got Expert knife yay!

Argh, I was 100% sure that was false. Incredible.

Now if you think about it they have encouraged medics in squads to keep the squad moving. They have killed squad-leader cycling so we will have MORE medics...as if we needed them...
I'll probably only go in a squad for communication now. The moving forward as a team is useless without communication (which is surprisingly low on VOIP servers - why play on VOIP servers when you refuse to talk?).
