Everyones got to download the new patch. No patch = No BF2

yes. If I understood the text correctly, you will have to install the patch to be up to date even if you haven't installed SF yet or don't plan to do so at all.

"Update v1.12
The next Battlefield update is now available. ALL Battlefield 2 owners should install it. And yes, we have a list fixes and enhancements for you.

IMPORTANT
If you've installed the 1.12 update to the "core" Battlefield 2 product and then installed Battlefield 2: Special Forces afterwards, you will need to re-apply the 1.12 update to be able to play on the new 1.12 Servers."

In other words: if you plan on buying the expansion anyway, install the 1.12 patch after you installed SF.

EDIT: I'd appreciate a link to a fast download site, preferably in germany. 3 hours is way too long...

Ah, it's here. Very good, very good indeed..

Sorry but I don't get it
IF we buy SF and install do we still need to install the patch???

EA's website is weak

Try downloading the patch from FileFront.  They've got a bunch of servers all over the world.  I downloaded the patch from there at over 800 k/sec.

Here, try this...

Go to filefront guys, well worth the wait in the lines. I waited for 30 minutes, got the download in 15 to 20 odd. Actually installing the patch took ages, it must have said "patching" for about 5 or 10 minutes and it finished half an hour ago.

Why is there no unlock for Sniper? Are they keeping it the M95? Man that sucks. Still, maybe this new update will fix iPlay Wellington's 1.03 CD-Key problem, and maybe I can get some fucking promotions.

Patch v1.12
========================================================================


IMPORTANT

- If you have installed the 1.12 patch to core Battlefield 2 and then installed Battlefield 2: Special Forces, you will need to re-apply the 1.12 patch again to be able to play on 1.12 Servers.

BUG FIXES

- Fixed a crash when users switch weapons using the mouse wheel while piloting a bomber (SU-34, F-15 and J10) in core BF2 maps.
- Removed the Grappling Hook and the Zip Line from kits from "The Iron Gator" map.
- Fixed single player loading screens to match map selection image.
- Fixed an issue in the menus so that users can click on BF2:SF ribbons to view the descriptions.
- Fixed an issue in the Browser so that BF2:SF servers are now represented with a green "2" icon.
- Global improvement of collision detection on the Grappling Hook and the Zip Line.
- Fixed damage state artillery icon on the 3d map when an artillery is destroyed.


CHANGE of VIDEO SPECS

GeForce FX 5900 Ultra

GeForce FX 5900XT
GeForce FX 5950 Ultra
GeForce FX 5900ZT
GeForce PCX 5900
- For these cards, the default video settings have been changed to LOW.


UPDATE TO GRAPPLING HOOK AND ZIP LINE DESCRIPTION

GRAPPLING HOOK

- The GRAPPLING HOOK is part of the Assault and Anti-tank kits. Throw it using the fire or alternate fire buttons. Press "E" to get on and off of the rope. Use the direction keys to climb the rope. The rope will connect to any static object in the world, which means it will not work on terrain or vehicles. Any Assault or Anti-Tank kit can pick up any grappling hook, even those from other teams, as long as you do not already have one in your kit at the time.

ZIP LINE

- The ZIP LINE is part of the Special Forces and Sniper kits. Use the fire button to shoot the line and use the alternate fire button to check if the target is a viable connection point or not. Once the line is in place, use "E" to get on. You will slide down the line automatically. Any Spec-Ops or Sniper kit can pick up any zip line, even those from the other team, as long as you do not already have one in your kit at the time.

===================================================================

Am I getting it right ?? Will I be able to use the Zip line and Grappling hook without the need to buy the expansion pack ?
