My two cents for what it's worth...and no I can't substantiate any of it, it's just a thought...

This will be the last release for BF2.

Why? Here's my reasoning.

1. In the software industry, crashes are BAD, plain and simple; especially the amount of crashes being experienced. If this had happened with the earlier releases, a hotfix would have come out shortly after because they have the resources to do the work; I believe this happened after 1.2 to 1.21. The product is 1+ years old now and a new product is on the way; 2142, where more and more resources are focusing their time.

2. The delay of the release. Dice don't want to have to spend any further time on this and will shift all their focus on 2142 after this release; isn't 2142 releasing a beta soon?

3. New map. Dice's swan song to the game, and to make the paying customers, us, happy. We get something for free this time unlike SF, AF and EF.

4. Infantry only. Effectively doubling the number of maps...Again, Dice's swan song to the game.

5. No vehicle changes, other than the flying cow which was done to support infantry only on maps like Wake to get guys off the carrier. They need to make it relatively easy to get to the main land to keep the map competitive. Any other vehicle changes would have meant allot more testing and allot more risk, both disastrous for the small development team remaining.

This is all just speculation but something to consider.
I've got another one to add :

6. Unranked servers now will have access to unlocks.  This has surely gotta be a sign this will be the last patch released!!!

Cheers,

Wow, the patch looks extremely shit but nice find.
also, the c4 is already extremely short ranged, why make it even worse?
and they have better fixed stability, tired of crashing 1 of 3 times joining a game.

Nice list but I miss some things...

1. Did someone have the problem with "Join a squad" or "Create one" ? Coz i have that pretty offten and its very annoying when u wanna join or create and u cant.Just after some time and the re-opening that window like 3 times.Then you will able to join/create.

2. I bet a lot of you guys had the same stupid suicide thing like this.For example yesterday on wake i was driving a jeep and i was parking it close to a house.There was like 1 meter between the house and the car..i started moving i got stuck and what happend ? I died....this is gay.
The same for the Boat or any other shit like this.U drive a boat u go fast...u go to land u dont wait til the boat will stop...and what happen ? It goes over you and u die.This could be fixed somehow...

3. Sometimes the parachute isnt opening.Im jumping froma  roof i press it like 5-7 times and nothing.I fall to death.Or when your in parachute u are flying but u dont hit the roof...you hit the wall and the parachute is closing...u fall and die
This is annoying too !

I just listed a few problems what i have sometimes.I bet all of u guys had them.

Lmao, Indeed, the best news from that patch is the 'fix' ctd, notice how dice have went back and 'unfucked' the helis, why dont they just do a total flip flop and sort the guns again, them increasing the armour surely is a sing they know it was messed up way to much.

However as many have said I belive this is probably the last patch we will see in bf2, at least for a very long time.  Though since there effectivly closing the door on the game in prep for 2142, why dont they just bow to the masses and give us all what we want, wont make fa difference to them will it?

Looking forward to not having armour whores chasing me around all day anyway,

Adios

You gotta be fucking kidding me.
What about:
Blackhawk gun power
J-10
Support gun overheat glitch
Disappearing grenades
2 AT kit rockets at once shooting
Rag Doll physics (didn't really care about it much)
Making an option to disable intro movies
I could probably go on with this list till the end of the day, All I want to know why the fuck do you start public beta if you not gonna listen ? EA Big Fuck stick up your ass again BF 2142 will not be purchased by any person that I know.

You can already do that.

For Vanilla BF2:
1. open C:\Program Files\EA GAMES\Battlefield 2\mods\bf2\Movies\ in Windows Explorer.
2. Delete or rename Intro.bik, Dice.bik, EA.bik and Legal.bik.
3. And maybe Welcome.bik (can't remember which bit that one is).

For Special Forces:
1. open C:\Program Files\EA GAMES\Battlefield 2\mods\xpack\movies\ in Windows Explorer.
2. Delete or rename Intro.bik, EA.bik and Legal.bik.
3. And maybe Welcome.bik (can't remember which bit that one is).

I know you can man, the thing is not everyone reads forums on how to do this stuff and Im sure for an average joe that option with a little label stating (Will improve performance) could make much difference don't you think?

When are they going to reduce the damage of G36E, if they fucked up the PKM why don't they do it again to G36E. There is no match to medic when 1on1. The servers are full of medic whores.

all you people complaining don't know how to adapt.

You complain about the J-10-F-35 thing?  Are you guys dumb?  I have less than 3 hrs in a jet and i can avoid getting killed by a J-10 for an entire round... WTF?
lol noob. you'd last 1 sortie vs anyone with even a modest amount of skill in your f-35.
you have less than 3 hours, that's NOTHING, many people have hundreds of hours and would gladly ream you and your f35.
ok, you obviously missed my point.  My point is i can AVOID the J-10 an entire round, yes, i KNOW i'd get pwned by it in a dogfight, hell, i lose dogfights when I'M in a J-10, but, it's not that hard to avoid the J-10 and kill people in an F-35 (although i prefer the F-18, but you need the airfield for that...).

Yeah, yeah, of course. And, the thing is not everyone who posts to these forums reads all of the posts, or searches, and some of them often post things like "how can I disable the intro movies?" - so I was just posting how - incase you didn't realise it could be done...

-I'm going to miss insta proning.

-I hope the infantry only mode only excluded the hard hitting stuff like APCs, Tanks, Attack choppers and Jets. It would not be bf2 if they removed all forms of vehicular transports.

So they tried to fix it last time, and have tried to fix it this time.

You won't miss insta proning - because it's still there. They added a delay (until you're able to shot) if you go from prone to crouch. It's to prevent prone spamming (tapping prone/crouch really fast or using a macro -> you don't see the enemy where he is, the hitbox is somewhere else)/clipping(Doing Prone Spamming & hiding behind a low barricade, you're nearly not visible to your opponent but you can still shot.

And they removed all vehicles except boats on carrier maps.

"· Introduced a delay from proning to standing to help reduce exploiting"

Does anyone else think this is absolutely ridiculous!!!  I switch from prone to standing quite a lot when im sniping (sometimes you need to make a quick getaway), so i think this will affect me quite badly.
       Instead Dice should have introduced a delay between jumping (Is it just me or is this not common sense????), to clamp down on the real exploiters - yes you guys know what im talking about goddamn freakin BUNNYHOPPERS...lol i hate them so much, when do you see a soldier jumpin about 5 feet into the air repetadely like a retard to avoid fire on the battlefield.  Anyhow i've gone off on a tangent.  Apart from that though, the patch seems fairly reasonable.
Somewhere, something incredible is waiting to be known.

Overall, I'm happy with it, but seriously, how could they leave those blackhawk miniguns as they are. I actually prefer sitting in the seat behind it with a kit weapon, u can actually kill something!
