Wow EA. You've managed to completely ruin the game. Remember the 1.03 patch? What was wrong with the 1.03 patch? What did they need to change? Sure they needed to remove the red/blue tag glitch, and they needed to make the aa somewhat improved, but they didn't need to improve the sniper rifles, keep you from blowing up mines, and make it near impossible to stay in the air. Yeah, there was bunny hopping, dolphin-diving, n00b t00bers. But those could be easily combated. Yes, people threw c4 like they were playing frolf, but once again, it could be combated. EA did not fix the worst part of BF2, the tag glitch. WTF were they thinking? Yeah, the bunny hopping was kind of annoying, but now BF2 is the only FPS that you can't jump and shoot. I think EA only made changes because of whiny little crybabies. Just because a few people whine and cry about a couple of issues with the game, doesn't constitute a good enough reason to completely change gameplay. I'm seriously considering heading back to bf1942. BF1942 is fully patched and frankly, its fuckin awesome. So what if the graphics aren't "up to par", but what good does a good looking skin do if the gameplay sucks? Like I said before, there were only two things EA needed to change, the aa and the tag glitch. Well EA screwed up on both. Way to go EA, way to go.   Whiny retards have gone and completely changed the gameplay.  You know when you are supposed to take in criticism and make adjustments accordingly?  During beta testing, not 6 months after its been released and people are used to playing one way.  You can say, "not  much has changed on ground combat".  Who the hell plays bf2 to ground pound only?  That's what is so great about Battlefield!  There are so many things you can do and now EA has gone and completely turned the air power into complete and utter shit.  How many other FPS games can you fly around in jets, hop in a chopper, get in a tank, or get in a buggy on a whim?  Way to go EA... way to go.

Yeah, I  know I'm being whiny. Hell, I'm a whiny little bitch right now.  But I'm sure about 75%+ people agree with me.  I think I'm gonna migrate to Quake Wars when it comes out.

I wish they would have done better with the tag bug, but I really don't have any other complaints about the patch.  Sure they could have kept the ability to jump and throw things or jump and fire, but alter how it is done; reduce throw distance and only allow C4 detonations once it was on the ground or adhered to another object, and make firing while jumping extremely inaccurate.

I am quite glad that they did what they did for AA and the armor of air vehicles.  I was getting tired of playing only on maps, like Karkand, that had no air vehicles.  I'm sorry that the flyboys are upset that they can't own entire maps because they were damn near impossible to bring down, but the fact of the matter is that even if every single air vehicle is in use, the bulk of the players are still on the ground.  If the pilots don't like it, tough shit.  Now instead of raping bases and CP's, they will actually have to worry about AA sites, and may actually have to take time to target those sites, and capturing CP's where AA is located with become part of the new tactics.

Overall, I'm pretty happy with the patch.

WHOA wrong side of the bed this mornin eh?

If u jump in a tank go to a base get a few kills cap the flag then die. same with jeep or on foot, but planes could live a long time kill many and visit flags over and over.

now planes are like tanks. get in plane go to base get few kills then die. sounds good to me.

I STILL love this game

This is what pisses me off the most, because a select few complained like fuck, EA and DICE made several mechanical changes to the game simply to appease them. Known issues simply have taken a back seat.

I for one was far more concerned that they fixed the bugs in this game and because I was of the opinion this would be the case with 1.2 I initially welcomed it. Then I found out AA was extremely good and that was a welcomed addition as pilots (myself included) had become too brazen when it came to AA.

Unfortunately the patch didn't live up to my expectations one bit... Not only are the old bugs still in exsistance, there is now a multitude of new bugs like the one shown above. Dogfighting in jets is simply impossible now and infantry warfare is so completely bland, no one really makes any effort to dodge your bullets. If this is what people regard as fun... Then so be it but I really enjoyed having to work, just that bit harder to get a kill. This patch has taken all of that away. Ground pounding is one of the most important aspects of BF2 but to me it now feels as though it was added as an afterthought, especially the animation your greeted with when you jump...

It's true what they say though "He who shouts loudest, gets most done." The fact is we didn't all want these changes. It seems only the ones who complained and cried pre 1.2 wanted these changes, yet you dare say "New patch sucks" and the general retorts consist of  "Well it's what you all wanted" or "Everyone who complained pre 1.2 are the ones complaining now".

Another way of putting it is this: We're like a bratty kid. We whine and whine and whine, 'Daddy, I want a lollipop. Ea and DICE come along and satisfy our whim, at least try to, and we throw that fucken lollipop back at them.
"WRONG FLAVOUR!! WAAHHHH!!!"

We complained that AA was next to useless, so they changed it. Now people are saying it's too powerfull. We complained that people were bunnyhopping, so they made it so you can't jump and fire. Now we're moaning that we cant throw our medic mags, or throw C4 over a wall. I mean, come on people, adapt! This is what they've given us. You can either go do something else, or adapt and have fun.
ADAPTAION IS THE KEY! STOP COMPLAINING!

So you're saying all these people who have played since June and bought expansion packs should now have to adapt because the newer people simply couldn't cope with the play styles that were already in place?

That sounds about right... Hey, let's stop any form of tackling and shorten the goals in Soccer because the new players can't compete with the experienced players. I'm sure all experience players would love that.

EA has taken a fairly realistic groundbreaking standard-setting multi-genre hybrid FPS/RPG/RTS game and managed to almost turn it back into an Infantry-centric old-style-FPS videogame. EA come on did you know what you had here?

one-way mines lmao
can't blow up mines lmao 
name tag glitch "addressed" but not stamped and mailed into oblivion
using ROE to stop rude behavior instead of patch blocking exploits.


My question is: out of the couple hundred thousand players of BF2 how many will even notice the changes?

@esker lol exactly
