well you can alter what the text read out is by messing with the game files for the 'you were killed by' type messages, so maybe for these as well, also meaning that perhaps they can become corrupt or something without making the game freak out... maybe.

that is a systemvariable for the fnp90 instead of that message, it shows dependend on the install language the weapon name in the chosen language. probably they missed to add that text.

look here is a manual where you can change the text that show up when somebody get killed

I have the smae problem.  I sent the issue to EA and after I told them my specs theye wanted me to resend and try  to reinstall, play inwindows mode and all the other BS for the basic level 1.  What you are seeing is the code that Dice uses to mkae this game.  So I am still wiaint on EA to help me with this matter.

"insert name here has killed insert name here by an impossible act of god hoping it's the DICE developer who messed up his killed-text

now that'd be a cool message

Actually, after looking at some occurences of that particular bug, it seems to be common if the following sequence of events occurs:

1) You install patch 1.2
2) You install Special Forces OVER patch 1.2
3) You try to reinstall patch 1.2 (especially if you use the incremental, rather than the full patch version)

Apparently, installing patch 1.2 updates the weapons list, and puts the P90 info in the game. Then, installing Special Forces erases the P90 from the game, but only in some places. Then, trying to reinstall patch 1.2 fails to properly overwrite the file. It's a minor bug for the most part, and a very simple fix actually exists, if you happened to update this way.

What everyone should do to fix this bug, from what I can tell (and no, I don't work for EA/Dice, so this is just a random experimental method by a random experimental player) is the following:

1) Uninstall Special Forces, and be sure to save your profiles (so you don't have to redo any key-bindings or what have you... very annoying to get in a good multiplayer game and suddenly nothing works!)
2) Uninstall BF2, again be sure to save your profiles (there should be an option to do this right in the game's uninstall function, so you shouldn't need to do anything special)
3) Reinstall BF2 completely, but do not patch/update anything yet
4) Reinstall Special Forces
5) If using the incremental 1.2 patch, and you happen to still have the 1.12 patch laying around on your hard drive, you would now patch to 1.12 first, then up to 1.2; if you do not have the 1.12 patch, you must use the full version install of patch 1.2. Either way, this sequence should properly patch and fix the bug.

Now, if anyone can give me a simple bug-fix that will prevent my rockets from going through APCs, or my rank and unlocks from suddenly disappearing in the middle of a game, I'd love to hear it.
