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 first thing that came to my mind is that it has something to do with in-game advertisements and a 3rd-party company that somehow is involved and has specified a certain announcement date.

Perhaps BF Heroes is launched together with the patch.

Also I hope you guys understand but this changelog applies to the first beta version only, and the final will have more changes in it.

Hmm it could be in-game ads. I wouldn't mind them if it meant prolonged support.

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

Hell yeah. That was my fave weapon on Wake. My accuracy score with the LMG was higher than the Sniper Rifle back then.

Ahhh. thats a good thought actually. TBH, I wouldnt be surprised, and given the current world climate, I would welcome it IF it provided additional patches and content.
I dont like seeing advertising in any game, however, for a game like BF2 thats 4years old, to get continued support, I can live with it

As far as I have seen, in BF Heroes there is gonna be advertising too. It's filled with vintage mock ads in the beta at the moment though.

And yes, if it'll provide enough income to pay those two patch coders and keep the stats running, it'll be fine with me.
Perhaps instead of securing another shipment of "Intel" in the desert, we need to secure "Blue Pearls" in China now.

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

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.

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.

AA sites aren't exactly little ninjas on maps, it's not that hard to destroy them head on. If you're playing with high ping of ~200 then your reg is gonna be fucked up (I've shot people out of FAVs with sraws when playing Brazillians) and you'll end up killing the person inside the AA and not the AA itself, but other than that if you don't hit it directly it shouldn't blow up. TV splash damage if anything should be reduced, if you can't hit a stationary AA site then lets be honest you shouldn't be in a chopper.

Again with the AA's it's not like they're Mobile AA-you know ehere they are so if you're in an F35 it's as simple as blowing them up on the first pass, especially given most people don't even try to use them on Wake and those that do are easily flared. If I can rape Wake in an F35 105-0 anyone can.

Time spent blowing up AA = Time not spent killing J10s = Time spent for the enemy to spot you = Time spent for 2 J10 spammers to get behind you.

Bad bait @ not being in a chopper. As for jetting - not even worth countering someone who has no clue on beef aviation.

Mobile AA is fine, static AA is unbalanced against jets. Needs one or more of:
1) A range increase
2) Less static AA, more mobile (easiest fix from the developer's perspective)
3) A shoulder-mounted Stinger/SA7, perhaps replacing the SRAW/Eryx in ONE AT kit, or maybe replacing the G36 or PKM or even coming in as a new "free" unlock for support. This would also impact chopper effectiveness.
It also needs to maintain lock against aircraft where the operator switches seats (solo choppering)
4) Not light up the ground target indicator in jets when the jet is in bombing mode.

Also,
Wake needs to either:
1) Lose the artillery island and gain a destroyer (this can carry arty) near landing beach in order to widen the angle of approach for the USMC and not making it such a campfest.
or
2) The carrier needs to circle the island on a predetermined route. Predetermined will mean no carrier-beaching which we saw in BF1942, although the right heightmap/collision meshes could prevent this if, heaven forbid, it became controllable.

Also,
Solo choppering needs to be dealt with. It is nothing less than a form of cheating.
