screenys

All mines (Claymore, Anti-vehicle, C4) can now be picked up by the same class that dropped it by using the “G” key.

YESSS!!!!

Detonation radius from grenade launcher explosions has been reduced.

NOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!

That will make it easier for people to shoot at their feet, kill the enemy and survive

bahahahahahahaha i love how they always mis-interpret what the community/marketing guys tell them.
"oh oh, ok, they want less damage, well we'll just reduce the blast radius: resulting in less damage!"

I cant say this loud enough:
Both the packs are going to blow if they are not allowed in a regular map rotation with normal BF2 maps.  It is going to suck so bad if you have to restart the whole game to play a new map.  That is one of the worst problems besides the lag with SF.  You can't have Warlord right after Karkand...they need to seperate servers. 



On the other side.  I am looking forward to the second booster pack.  Sounds like Dice listened to all those threads about people that complain about the lack of equipment and what made DC so popular.

YOu missed the next one which will prevent that from happening:
- Grenade launcher projectiles now have a minimum time before arming.

No... I saw it... that has nothing to do with the damage radius.

As long as I don't have to quit and load the game again to play the booster it'll be sweet...

...but of course you'll have too...because not everyone is going to buy it...

Hang on...

3 maps? THREE MAPS?!    New Army. Check. Maps to play this new army on: 3. hmm. More please?

main bf2 site seems to have a little more info than what was pasted from before, but basically u can get it all by using search for these kinds of topics. here they all are directly pasted from bf2 website as a community update:

    * Fixed bug in TV guided missiles of Havoc helicopter

Any idea when the patch will be out? Cause it says new Anti Tank class and i play that the most and im almost gonna be a first sergent soon so im wondering if i should wait and keep my unlock until i see what the new AT weapon is or just unlock one when i reach FS

I think it said Feb 8th (so i guess at best it'll be done by Feb 20ish)  With SF they went and gave high ranked players extra unlock points to unlock more weapons (no clue if they'll do that here).  If there is a weapon you really (Medic G36E ) want then I suggest you get it.

Also I see the GL as an improvement.  No longer will the noob tubes flinch in fear and end up winning the fight.  Now the GL can be used for what it was meant for; 1: clearing buildings.  2: Mortar bombardment (sort of)


-------------------------------------
I have no clue when the patch is coming out; I thought he was talking about the booster pack with it's sniper and AT unlocks.

There are modern assault guns?  Do you have any names?  I would love to look at some of these.  Some of the German Assault guns are pretty cool, but again, didn't realize how functional they could be.  Some of the Italian Assault guns were horrendous though.  I can't believe they actually sent people out on them.  I have a book of armored vehicles and I always laugh when I see the Italian ones during WWII.  Or some of the early WWI tank models.

an assault gun is really just self propelled artillery, but used in direct as opposed to indirect fire. the post ww2 development of self propelled guns has led to more specilisation, especially with the addition of new classes of weapons [antitank missles and rockets]. but there are certainly a myriad of SP artillery currently in service with all major armies.

many of the 'tank' looking SP howitzers are now used for indirect fire, so they're not technically 'assault' guns, but they're exactly the same vehicle concept anyway. examples are the US army's paladin and the PLA's type 83.

the airmobile guns used by the army are closer to true assault guns, like the ill fated sheridan. the antitank role of assault guns has been relegated to tank destroyers or antitank missles mounted on everything from trucks to apcs.

The SA80 is the L85A1 and I am going to ask my friend to dl me a copy of EF and the later booster over his T1 line. Of course I am going to pay him to do it for me on my EA account!

wtf euroforce.  how interesting.  theres the british challenger 2 maybe

So how are they going to factor in the two new unlocks (Sniper and AT)? They would obviously have to be added to the SF list of unlocks, but the only way to unlock them is if they:
a) Added more ranks so that they would be attainable
or
b) Be able to begin to unlock SF unlocks at the rank of Lance Corporal as in vanilla BF

Can anyone help clarify this for me?
