BF2S Forums Do you honestly think BF2 got better through patches?

yeah, 1.0 was fucking insane

everyone bouncing all over the place about 10ft in the air

that was the dogs bollocks.

Yes and no.  Dolphin diving just looked silly so I am glad they got rid of that (anyone who disagrees was only good when using this method, you don't see anything this stupid in arcade sports games, so it doen't belong in Battlefield until tanks fly.)  But I noticed that the game lags horribly when compared to any patch before 1.3.  It is still fun, but now just nerf the G36E  : ).

Only thing I miss is the blackhawk miniguns. Other then that i learned to live with all these patches.

I knew it.

I facking knew it.

Dolphin Diving, Bunnyhopping, and F-35's.

Do you people have even the slightest bit of sense?

the complete removal of dolphin diving had extremely dire consequences for BF2. But nooooo, it's either OMG IM TEH LEET SAUCE CAUSE I DONT MOVE TO AVOID FIRE LOLZ  or  STFU NOOB DOLPHIN DIVING IS GOOD. and in EVERY FUCKING THREAD you people have to go on to discuss the same old pointless topic that isn't even what i fucking asked while you haven't even got a fucking clue what you're saying!

Patch v1.3
================================================================================

NEW FEATURES

- Air dropped vehicles:
Squad members can now send a request up the chain of command for a vehicle to be dropped at their location.

- Co-op:
Co-op Mode allows you to play Single Player levels on the Internet and LAN with both AI controlled bots and human players. Several new options have been created that will allow the server creator to modify how the bots behave in game.

Number of Bots: This setting allows you to determine the total number of bots that will spawn in game.

Bot Ratio: This setting allows you to determine the percentage of total bots that will spawn for each team. For example, setting this value to 25 means that 25% of the total bots will spawn in Team 1, and 75% in Team 2. Team 1 is always the MEC, Chinese, or their allies, while Team 2 is always the USA, EU, and their allies.

Bot Difficulty: This setting determines the skill level of the bots. 10 is easiest, 100 is the most difficult.

- Default Kit Selection:
The kit that you used last is remembered at the beginning of the round and between maps.

Hard Drive Space

Windows will require additional free hard drive space for its operating system
(virtual memory). If you encounter the following message in an error dialog:
"Ran out of virtual memory", free up some more hard drive space.

To install Battlefield 2 Version 1.2 you will need approximately 2.0 GB free hard
disk space for the full patch or 1.5GB for the incremental patch, plus space for
saved games.

If you have Battlefield 2 installed to a different hard disk than where you have
Windows installed then approximately 375Mb (full patch) or 100Mb (incremental patch)
of the required free space must be available on the hard disk where Windows is
installed.

To install Battlefield 2: Euro Force you will need approximately 800Mb free hard
disk space plus space for saved games.


BATTLEFIELD 2: SPECIAL FORCES AND THE PATCH

AND YOU CAN ONLY COMMENT ON THREE THINGS, WHILE NOT EVEN ANSWERING THE ORIGINAL QUESTION?!


THIS IS NOT ABOUT FUCKING DOLPHIN DIVING.

on a side note, dolphin diving could have been fixed very simply by never giving a player full accuracy with guns while airborne. Prone spamming could have been fixed without completely destroying the game for skilled players by limiting you to 2 'spams' at a time. That's it. The final word. what would have been the proper solution.

Now take the fucking hint!

All people talk about is "omg they nerfed this omg they nerfed that WTF NOOB WTF OMGZ!!!1!1one"

Was 1.2 AA a nerf? No. It was the opposite of a nerf.
Same with the 1.2 G3A3.
Same with the 1.2 L85A1.
Reloading while sprinting? People will find a way to complain about that as well.
40 rounds > 20 rounds for MP7. No wait, ZOMG N3RF!!1!1onetwo
900RPM > 600RPM for P90. OH NOEZ ITS A NERF BAI NO SKILL NOOBZORZ I WAZ SO L33T U NOOBZ RUINED MAI GAME

This is why I fucking play BF2142. You know why? Because there haven't been enough fucking patches for all the l33t-skill people to go "ZOMGWTF NERF WTF N00BZRZ". I don't care what you think about the game, it doesn't have this whining/anti-whining whining shit and that's why I play it. And it's not completely different from the original release. BF1942/BF:V/BF2142 community > BF2 community. And that's individually. The 1942/V/2142 communities combined would make the BF2 community (whiners and anti-whining-whiners) look like an housefly compared to an An-225. The only things debated in BF2 are "your kit sucks" "your vehicle sucks" "this is unbalanced" "omg u haxx" and "LOMGNERF".

Good riddance to BF2, the patches, and all associated shit that comes with them.

Cursing? Yes. Pissed off? Yes. Bite me.

yea. its pretty 1337, CTD are at all time low. Ass kicking at an all time high. No matter WHAT they do to BF2 i will adapt and continue to pwn teh noobzorz111!!eleven11!1onehundredeleven

The 600000th thread about this.

I'm glad they don't patch BF2 anymore, that's all.

ye I play 1.12 alot now

600 m range on the TV, no bugs on the reload

only thing that is a bit buggy is the bomber missile

but next to that everything is fine

whoring the hawk with 2 people

good times, good times

I joined in 1.12 and all I have to say is people who complain about all post 1.12 patches and the game being a whore-fest are Hippocrates. Even worse are the people who complain about all post 1.12 patches and getting killed by the j-10, in 1.12 it was impossible to kill the jets, you had to rely on the pilot being a n00b and crashing.

1.4  >> nerfed infantry the most .

this game was finished at 1.03.

Ea changed it because noobs were crying they were getting owned.

Just walking around trying to jump over a rock is glitchy because of the no prone/jump thing. Bf2 is so much more limited than it is now.
