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

Would have been nice at the beginning of Winter rather the beginning of Spring :S

Meh. Still won't get me to reinstall the game.

Good find - that does look very promising.
Im surprised at the hit-detection being including, considering the wait we have had, if that works: it will be worth it.

What does that mean?Speedexploit with Parachute and Car/APC?

If someone stands in front of the plane because they didnt get it then the plane takes off and kills the guy on the runway the player will not be able to punish the pilot and the pilot will not lose any points.
This only works for the plane and only while it is doing its take off from the runway. So if you run over someone with a jeep on the runway you'll lose points and can be punished. You can't fly low and TK someone on the runway either.

Now THAT is impressive - I didnt think they would/could ever fix that. If that also includes the provision of C4/nades/AT/M95 shots, then I will be seriously impressed.

Thanks for the link. I remember reading that but it's been a while so I forgot about it. It looks a bit bland, but if it plays well, I don't mind.

Then we can hit up some BF2 again ole buddy

And easier solution would be to turn FF Off.

But that would make the game to not-frustrating for some people.

You can still C4 friendlies into roofs/off of the carrier and force TK with FF off.

AA is fine, it should only be used against choppers though in any case. I hate how AA won't blow up without a direct TV kill, it spawns back so quickly as well.

They need to change the spawn times too. The J10 gets up in 30 seconds, the F35 in 70 on Wake. The imbalance of the jet is one thing, but the fact there are 5 AAs dotted around the map and 32 enemies with nothing to do but spot enemy F35s makes it really hard to rape.

They're just going to reduce the turning radius of the J10, it's going to be an ugly thing to fly with its delayed turn points now, but +1 if we can actually stay behind a J10 without using some advanced turning.

I'd like to see some E nerfing and M16 acc increasement, but we'll see how the 'hitbox fix' turns out, I hope it doesn't alter it too much, because I've tried TVing on lan against evading choppers and you get so used to aiming for the lagging hitbox you stick to it and miss every shot.

Can I get my PKM sniper rifle back?

Oh god. Good memories. Those were the days! How I loved that gun...

It's kinda funny how so many people remember that even though it was only around for a month and a half.

Cant wait to play Oman after the patch, 4 flags with Suped-up AA keeping everything on the carrier sounds fun

PLA with mobile AA would be ridiculous.

dice aren't quite so stupid as to do that are they?

Wait, Dalian has mobile AA doesn't it? It does on 16 in any case.

none on 32 or 64.

Ah

The one without aircraft has AA but the ones with it don't.

Yay, there's a chance for native widescreen support, not in the beta, but perhaps in the final release.

I suppose the AA is on the PLA side?
I'd say it's used to shoot infantry on 16 player maps with its whimsy peashooter cannons.

There's an AA on the PLA side too on 16 player Great Wall, a map which doesn't have any aircraft at all, in all sizes.

There would have been originally, Snake's showed me the spots with the helipads or where the helipads would have been.

Just noticed this.

"There is also another item missing from the list for legal reasons and will be a case of knowing it when the update comes out for Beta."

Any thoughts? An announcement? I heard a rumour ages ago that BF3 would be announced with the 1.5 patch, but that was just that, a rumour posted on a messageboard, so its chances of being true are incredibly low. I wonder what it is. It would be strange for an announcement to be listed in a patch changelog, but I can't for the life of me figure out why a bugfix, balance change, or even new map would have to be hidden like this. It's odd.

the addition of mobile AA to both Dalian and Oman.

Why these didn't have it from the start we'll never know.

Also on Wake but you don't play Wake.

They did on Oman in pre-beta (check out some of the old screenies I put up on the (near-dead) trackr ). God knows why they were removed.

Thats correct But not on the 16size where they appear.

This one?





btw, is this a pre-release image? Its got the gun resting against the kit bag. If it is then they altered the Desert Marpat somewhat in the final version.
