No. They just removed the ability to destroy said claymores.
They removed that in 1.41 right? I want it back; have them destroyable by nades. It's ridicilous how even a dead sniper can hold an position for minutes.

Long before 1.41, I think they changed it before I started playing a couple of years back, in 1.3...

Just played a couple of rounds of Pearl, first impressions are good; out of 3 rounds, the USMC managed to land each time...it sometimes takes a while, but they do get on to the back flags. Could use a little less fog, it's very grey in places!

Hitreg seems slightly improved, but can't say for sure yet.

Prone delay doesn't seem that obvious, but I'm not a prone-spammer so wouldn't affect me much anyway

Minor disappointments;
It seems they have disabled 1-touch spotting (haven't tried re-assigning it yet, but as I copy-pasted the controls file I don't see it working).

Localisation files; standard-size orange text is gone, as are custom teamkill messages (eg player 1 [*teamkills*m16a2] player 2).

Also the beta is ranked? Wasn't expecting that, but saw a guy get promoted...I'm guessing times for Pearl won't be counted yet though.

Perhaps, yes

It does look like a horrible creation (falcon).

Lets no bash falcon too much, as I suspect it is the only reason we even got a patch after all these years (probably even through sponsoring).

we have the patch now, let the bashing begin

Not necessarily disabled - this is only broken because of the falcon overwriting bug.

The falcon overrides the secondary key for spotting, I have the primary key to Q and had secondary to a joystick button, but because of the falcon thing I changed it I was using Xpadder anyway to set up controls and just binded a joystick button to press Q and right click at same time- sorted it, now im just waiting for the falcon fix so i can actually use my joypad without having to set it up every time
I havent got any urge to play BF2 any more because of this beta hope its all sorted soon, Im just gona be messing about on TF2

Zander, do you have fraps running? If so, close it.

I guess getting rid of any other surplus background apps/processes might also help.

That crap about progs running in the background is just crap, I had the same problem. I couldent join 90% of the servers and when i did, kick after 2 mins. I tryed everything and then went back to 1.4 till the offical releas.

I have a g15, zander do you?

No, i don't have a g15

ill try punkbuster, though i doubt thats what it is because i can create a local server.

I made a new poll a few minutes ago regarding Infantry Only:

Critics or support are very welcome!

Endless CTDs, connect refuses and disconnects ingame. New map is good one, but, as someone previously sat, mashtuur-style flags layout would be much better. Also, why not to do a light-vehicles-only mode? With buggys, jeeps, transport helos and boats, that would be perfect.

Good day

I can't play 1.5 properly: more than three quarters of the servers I try to join just send me straight back to the server browser before the loading screen even shows, and if I do manage to join a server I ALWAYS get kicked back to the server browser within a few minutes without a message.

I've disabled pretty much every program I can.

Got any suggestions?

Heya

This is a known connection problem we are actually looking at now and hope to resolve as quickly as possible.
You may find you get the issue you describe below on servers where they are half their capacity. Try and connect to servers with slightly lower player numbers.

Thanks for trying BF2 1.50.

I just looked at my control key bindings and wow, what assholes EA are. They didn't overwrite the secondary key bindings because of a bug. It was pure marketing for the stupid Falcon device. Wow.

Marketing, and more marketing. I get the same impression. It's shitty i know. Luckily I copied my controls file and pasted  it back in to my profile. Problem solved.

That falcon thing is shit, but it helped us get our new patch, so +1 Falcon, you persuaded EA more then its whole user base could.

I'm having this problem all of a sudden. I can only join games with less than 16 players, even on a 64-player server.
