You can always quit the game there are many other games out there that might suit your needs.

I will adapt and wait for another patch like always... Every game company is the same.

the first line is to easy for me..
it was a super game...then they starded to kill it slowly...
they prepare us for 2142....letting bf2 die slowly

second line is very much treu im afraid.but the gameplay is not the same and many have problems getting in game or chrashing the game and your comp
so waiting will be hard..its like the 121/122 patch...to many new problems grow from the patches

i think this stuff about 'squad exploit' its absulote crap!
its just defeating the purpose of the spawn, now ur going to have to walk for miles to link up with ur squad!
its bulls**t!!

wtf I just noticed something:
The P90 fires MUCH faster now. This isnt in EA`s list of changes on their website.
Am I hallucinating or sth.? Its faster isnt it?

I didn't notice any detriment to gameplay with the 1.3 patch. The server list however is extremely frustrating. Seems like for the most part the people complaining about the squad changes were the ones that were benifiting from abusing the system. Put up or shut up none of us were at the meeting were this change was agreed upon and no amount of hand wringing will change it back.

Hi folks,

just installed the incremental patch and all works fine !

I directly connected to a server and tried the new vehicle drop tool. I think that feature makes sense and could be a benefit, if there werent that sucker commanders, that naturally have got to abuse it !

That were my first impressions only playing for 10 minutes:
get in that car quickly or stay far away because it can really hurt you if you come late ;-)
drop it on armor and u will damage it seriously ... if it doesnt explode instantly, it will when the car explodes - thats bullshit.
drop it on parking planes ... they will explode - bullshit.
the enemy commander didnt drop it on helis, but i bet they will blow up like planes.

I think now its on the servers admins to enforce proper usage of that new tool:
use vehicle drop as AT bomb -> kick
use vehicle drop to block or destroy air vehicles -> kick

Its like that uncap base raping with arty: some have got to do this, most dont like it (like me). Thats because i prefer playing on servers with baseraping forbidden.

While loading a map the server info shows the following info: everything '0'. What an info.

The changes of squad hopping are bullshit, no discussion about that from my current point of view. Personally i used it to leave and rejoin my squad to continue the assault. We will see how it influences teamplay/squadplay - if it works better now, then this change is fine.

The awards changes are ok regarding SOME really unrealistic time requirements, but i think the old kill and point requirements were ok.
Thats the nature of awards: you got to work for them.
Maybe EA/DICE give them away now in the cheap way because they are afraid that no one will buy the next battlefield while still collecting the bf2 awards. Personally i think the awards and the statistics are an important part of bf2: the piece of sugar that makes you go on and shows the in- or decrease of your skills. But mainly its the fun that keeps me up gaming and i hope that the new patch doesnt change that. We will see ...

This is the first patch I actually noticed MAJOR bugs

- VERY buggy server browser (players aren't displayed, wrong ping, servers exchange places in the list when highlighting them...)
- buggy loading screen (no information about server variables, server name and the port (can't tell friends who wants to join while I'm loading))

DICE Canada has fucked this patch up as they fucked up Special Forces. They have to release a fix for this or people will stop playing Battlefield 2. Have they ever heard of quality assurance and quality control? I doubt that the patch has been tested by real human beings. How could they not notice such bugs?

I have to fully agree!!!! Furthermore, I was not able to play on any server. I could not select team or class on different servers and mostly it interupts loading.

I'm working for a software company and our developer team does release some badly tested shit some times... but this patch here is an unbelievable piece of shit!

the new patch is messed up, as many have said servers don't show i.p's & players & what team r what and move when u click on them, also i still get lost connection when u open bf & sf and click to join 4 the 1st time and 4 the new lower stats is now so easy, i have played my butt of for long hours to get some of mine and now some players with less time can get them now they r lowered. the whole patch is a joke!!!!!

The AA will die down once everyone get's those badges.

Top post mate, couldn't agree with you more. Just hope there is nothing in a revised RoE preventing admins from kicking for abuse of this vehicle drop crap. We shall see. Already I am seeing ATV's swinging so violently that they are practically spinning and not only that, but they are bouncing back up with the parachute still attached!! Good work EA/DICE, the wait was worth it!!

Maybe if we had the option to decide what kind of verision to play,
is there servers with the old versions or we have to play only the 1.3 version?

WTF?! My BF2 won't even fucking load up!! This is bullshit.

The only thing good about this patch is the P90, it rapes now, and i'm assuming people will complain and it will get nerfed in the following patch. Everything else EA did.. all Sh*t.. Sorry... But its all Sh*t.
