BF2S Forums Changes to BF2 with the 1.12 patch.....not SFs, nobody liek yall

Wait what? I am dling the patch and freaken SF get to use their guns in my game!? Bull#$%!

I think it's great...they arn't giving the people who bought SF a real unfair advantage ( other than the flashbangs ) .  So they arnt any harder to kill and then you get the nice new weapon and any extra flashes they may have not used up.

Bringing a complete new weapon (flashbangs) to BF2 is STUPID. If they are any good they will change many players tactics all over and those who didn't buy SF will suffer. I don't like games were you sneak around in the dark only to shoot one guy or to be shot. I'm more of the Rambo type and i think that works better with BF2 then with SF. And again the teamplay in BF2 is almost non existing so why think thats gonna change in SF? I don't think so...

I got a bit pissed when someone first flashbanged me, but now I'm just getting on with it. So what if they have a few pretty new weapons to play with, kill them and take it and have a bit of fun on your own. Really doesn't bother me in the slightest, in fact I'm pleased it's reinvigourated the game a bit from same old same old, and I haven't paid a penny extra for it.

so whats the new patch actualy do?

It gives the SF players the opportunity to annoy you with flashbangs.

It makes the red name bug worse as you won´t see xxx[Teamkill]YYY. Instead you´ll just notice a teamkill by your decreasing score.

The TV guided missile screen now looks as you´re drunk so you have to compensate its movements by drinking alcohol to hit something with those missiles.

yaeh do you really improve when drinking? I only get worser when i'm drunk

I was wondering too when you are in a vehicle and someone flashes you with a flashbang can you still see ??
if not can you change camera to avaiod not seeing????

grtz dunno if i get special forces but  E80,- is quit much for a "complete" game wich isn't finished

the sf guns are SICK. Worth the money bitches!

Actually, from everything I've read, their's nothing special about any of the new SF guns, just more weapons to choose from.  This is why I really wouldn't get all pissed off about the SF guys being allowed to use their weapons in regular BF2 games.

The new SF weapons are the equivalent of the original unlocks. Some are great, some suck, and overall none of them are completely superior to any other weapon. The flashbang is a great addition to the original game, although I'm sure it probably gets overused. Regardless, I think the changes are all for the better. And for you whiners and cheapasses out there, quit your bitchin. The game is only 30 bucks, you get 8 new maps and lots of new stuff to play with. Why don't you want that? STFU AND BUY THE FREAKIN EXPANSION ALREADY!

thats life , newer stuff, newer upgrades, better stuff, well yea Iam defenetly upgrading to a new video card, in the first place if you bought the game , you should of know it was going to need some attention to the hardware.

When I bought the game I knew my vid card was the last to make the list in terms of qualifications for BF2 but how does that justify increasing the graphics level that is not adjustible to the end user ? And released in a patch to boot !?

None. That makes no sense that they would include a graphical enhancement to a game that was already very demanding. I was running fine from the day of release until now. I don't care about having shinny textures on everything ! I want to play the damn game and enjoy every moment of it.

When the hell have you ever bought a game only to realize 5 months later your game is now incompatible with the system it has run on perfectly to date ? I like alot of EA titles but this is getting really sad.  I don't blame EA or Dice for this problem. Nvidia can take the hate on this one. What better way to boost video card sales then to fk over the people that have not purchased one of there products for over a year.

So, as it stands for me now I need to spend at least 130 bucks for a decent GPU then spend another 30 for the expansion. Don't forget that BF2 played great for me until the 1.12 patch.

My final decision ? I will upgrade and get the expansion. Soon ? No not for a while. BF2 will still be popular by the time I throw more money into my PC.

FK U EA, DICE, and Nvidia for allowing me to enjoy a great product then deciding that you need more money. Unlike alot of you people I just don't spend as much on my pc. Overclocking did nothing to help remedy the problem.

PC Specs

AMD 64 3000+

I knew the card was going to be useless by 2006 but to have a game not work well after it did...       fkers

The only difference for me, is that today I noticed I'm back to being private and all my unlocks are gone. I don't think it was like that yesterday, but for the two maps I played today, it's like that! I was getting all these basic badges again, and I was thinking "Uh, hey, didn't I have that already?"

hey did they ever fix the  Battlefield HQ thing

Amen. $30 guys, honestly, and vid cards are dirt cheap. I got my GeForce 6200 256MB GT OC for about $120 brand new. I can handle any game out there, granted not on the highest of settings, but I can handle it with minimal lag on minimal settings, for games like this, minimal settings is still better than most other games on the market.

Did you try checking for driver updates?

I run on an ATI 9600 Pro with factory drivers and encounter no lag except for the first second after I spawn when joining a server for the first time.  After that it runs smooth, even in an arty strike.
