BF2S Forums Battlefield 2 1.4 Released

per the ea website on veteran status:

"As a reminder of your heroic efforts in Battlefield 2, we are pleased to announce that you will also be awarded an exclusive Veteran indicator next to your name in Battlefield 2142, so other players will recognize that you’ve had a tour of duty in Battlefield 2. You will also receive an immediate promotion in Battlefield 2142, which will let you choose an unlock. Finally, you will receive a new verbal taunt to use in Battlefield 2."

i was hoping 1.4 would be the one that included the taunts

i always stick to the full patches,heard to many probs with incrementals + its quicker to just install 1 patch if you ever need to reinstall the game.

Oh Great! I have school tonight and wont be able to play until at least 9 PM tonight! DAMMIT!

A: What does it mean by "ranked servers now force unlocks"?

B: How is 'Road to Jalalabad'?

C: Are the "prone-delay" and "C4 toss-reduce" really noticable, or is it easy to get over?

A: Before 1.4 the server admin was able to disable unlocks on ranked servers, now they're forced and server admins aren't able to disable them

B: There are lot's of informations about the RTJ beta, just search in this forum

C: In Beta 2 they were really noticable.
