BF2S Forums Quick polll for 1.21

The patch is ok, no issues so far. Only those damn jet-rockets dont hit the target even if it´s a 100% lock and the other jet isn´t flying any loops sometimes. On the other side, gulf of oman is pure holocaust to jetpilots... you only hear the lock-signal while hunting for other jets or tanks... Hmpf.

Hi Guys and Gals.
Well I am so happy. Prior to the Installation of the 1.21 Patch my Internet Filters sucked. I always got only 30 Servers at most. If I were lucky I got one Ranked Server, that was unpopulated. But not anymore.

I tried to join a Server yesterday and my Server List had over 2000 Servers on it. After using the Filters Ranked only, not full, populated, same version and same mod I got over 700 Ranked Servers.

No longer searching for Ranked Servers on www.game-monitor.com.

BUT....

There is still one Glitch that I can't fucking stand at all. That Helicopters still only have 8 Hydra Rockets. Come on EA. In the Real World those Attack Choppers fires those Hydras from Canisters that holds 7 Rockets each. Since there are two Canisters attached that makes 14 Rockets, like it has been before 1.20.

Can't wait for Euro Force.

That's all. Thank you for your Attention.

ok I am a little confused. But when it comes to EA products, should I be suprised. Seriously what is with this patch. Is it official or did it get posted unknowingly (spelling nazis please step in, really we all know forums are about spelling right).
Just seems like very little was covered in this patch. I have not installed and will not install until it is posted in the download section of the official ea website. Seems to me like the bf2 community is staving for this patch and willing to download and install anything. Kinda crazy if you ask me.

Will download and play tonight.


1.21 from EA.........
http://www.ea.com/official/battlefield/ … loads.jsp#

Downloaded (about 7mins), installed (not sure about white screen because I left the room). I've played for about 3 hours and all seemed ok, longterm ...... who knows.

Anyone else finding the L96 somewhat odd?

For example, you'll be aiming at a stationary target, shoot them in the head and yet miss?

This happened a few times when I was playing with 1.21, at close range too. I shot a guy who was sitting in the gun turret of a blackhawk who'd landed at one of our flags.. twice. And yet it somehow missed, he noticed me after the second shot and I got killed...

It feels as though the L96 and other sniper rifles are less accurate.

yeah you get that little puff of smoke off the top of the head. its wierd, just aim for the neck, easier to get a one shot kill.

i seem to be quite happy with the patch, rockets now hit tanks [at last] my only little quibble is the sound bug when you have no stamina and jump, it makes a very fast panting noise and it is slightly irratating when you have a headset. thats all....

...other than that i am happy.

On the sniper rifle thing, long range sniping feels mostly the same.. it's only close range that things are really messed up.

I'm not too impressed with it I saw a helicoptor do more twist and turns then a striper be4 it blew up I thought they fixed that issue too?, also any one having a problem killing people dead on. You unload on them they kill you with one shot.

My framerate went to shit, i have moments when i have increased activity where my fps bottoms out at 15 and the game is too choppy!!!

i had no probs before 1.2 and 1.21 and i have tried nearly everything except reinstall! 

3.0Gz P4
256 Nvidia 6800 GT OC
2 Gig's of RAM

I have had some strange issues with the new patch, my ping on all servers was over 250, and the oddest was in Karkand at the base just over the bridge and up the steps. In the first building was a guy hiding who you could see through the wall quite clearly, a USMC spec ops guy shot him through the wall with only his M4 and got the kill.

I thought this kind of weirdness was supposedly stopping. and another really annoying thing is I am still getting shot whilst people are jumping into the prone position. one guy wasn'nt even facing me and got a kill.

Really frustrating.

I revise my opinion somewhat. 

Multiplayer lag seems to be gone when I changed the settings from medium to low at my normal screen resolution of 1280 x 1024.  This includes Warlord in multiplayer.  Single Player still sucks, but that's ok if multiplayer is working fine. 

I got my basic sniper badge for special forces on Warlord.  So the lag seems to be gone.

Performance on ATI cards is definitely improved a little.  Being able to prone properly is a plus....These are the only two things I've noticed on the positive side.

On the negative side I've noticed a few bugs.  First of all...the RED/BLUE bug still exists, saw a guy on our team marked in red...saw another guy on the other team marked for blue.  Second bug is a new one...When someone goes to do a kickvote OR a mapvote on one of the EA servers...it would completely make everyone on the team engage the same vote for like an hour.  The "forever firing machine gun sound" bug is still there as well..in fact I don't see ANY previous bug that they fixed (they may have fixed the "hey I'm firing at you but you can't hear my weapon" bug).  There is one more new one I noticed....Me and a few buds were on an EA EC server last night and only two squads were avail on the team and it wasn't letting ANYONE on the server create a new squad...it was fucking bizarre.   I'm not one to complain about EA/DICE but I do find it hilarious that all of these bugs still exist and then NEW ISSUES??  How do you realease a patch and all of the famous BF2 bugs still be there?  ..and then introduce new bugs...I still love this game though.

I installed the patch, but aint able to connect to the updated servers, says I got an old version!??!?! Seems i gotta install BF2 yet again from scratch and then patch to 1.21 (full update). This is the worst game i've ever seen when it comes to problems and patches!

Same here. There are 11 "same version" servers at my list and every server gives "...only unmodified version..." screen.

For those who say the patch is working : Try to join multiple servers, not just the only one where you usually play.

This patch IS again NON WORKING !
