1.03 patch out

[Unfocused]

Damn, is it me or have the Bradley become a real killing-machine now? It’s ridiculous easy to kill soldiers with the cannon now. And choppers go down pretty easy too, even if you don't shoot with the rockets. Seems like Dice upped the damage of the cannon pretty much.
In one round I killed 30 guys (including soldiers and choppers) in total with only the Bradley.

WHORE!:flame:

man, the bradley scares the crap outta me. It's so powerful...

 

[bam23]

I don't get what's wrong with it

What problems do people have with it?

Are you being sarcastic?

Anyway, just in case :E It's slow and breaks whenever you try to refresh. The pings that you get from servers are inaccurate and the filters still don't even work.

I'm dead serious. Refreshes are pretty quick, filters work just fine and pings are accurate for me. It's not quite as fast as Steam server browsing but it's up there.

EDIT: I am disappointed that the wrong team bug is still there. I've fallen victim to it quite a bit since the patch.

i remember this one time in desert combat on el alamein, some asshat stole our a10 warthog and was bombing the ever lovign crap out of our main. I was spawnkilled by its strafes 3x in a row. So i got in a tank, took aim at it just as it was reaching the fog range, and POW. 5 seconds later i see a bright flash from deep in the fog.

another time i was playing vietnam, noticed how much i was owning with the m79 nade launcher, and just shot it into the sky at some random direction. 20 seconds later a kill...

*buzzzzzz*

FREDDY!! GET ME SOME COOKIES DAMMIT!

I've actually had more glitches in BF2 since the patch...although that could be because I've been filling up my HD a lot and haven't defragged in ages.

 

[Drackard]

Just thought i'd come express my feelings towards the latest patch in a bit more of a polite manner then i have done on some other bf2 forums, to put it short i think its totally Shit !! There is now no fun in the game, i loved the challenge of working for my rank rather then becoming ranked up every 10 minutes or whatever, extremely disappointed and doubt i will even play it much anymore, if i do it will be Single Player ..... .. extremely disappointed in EA now.

 

[J_Tweedy]

i am inclined to agree, although im not sure that it has ruined the game. It depends what your idea of fun is in the servers:

If it was to 'pwn n00bs' then yes, the fact that every one has unlocks now and uses them may ruin that aspect of the game for you.

If your idea of fun is to play in a good, organised, cohesive squad then this patch is better- the tendency for people to whore points just to get their next unlock isnt there- ive already noticed better team play.

Armour and choppers are now lasting me less time, as everyone has the AT or Spec ops kit with their fancy unlocked gun.

I dunno, it hasn't ruined it, its just changed it a helluva lot- i am now forced to play differently to have fun (remember, thats the plan, stan!)

 

[Direwolf]

Hehe....you don't rank up that quickly, or at least not past a certain point. And I agree with Amish...I haven't had any server browser problems lately.

 

[Drackard]

Hmm, a friend of mine went straight on after he installed the update though and he was formaly a Corporal and within 10 minutes he had ranked up to a Gunner Seargent, the idea of fun in the game wasn't to "pwn n00bs", i loved the challenge of unlocking badges and working hard for my next rank .... but now that's gone down the drain.

That is simply because EA have changed the requirements for the ranks, so for me i was on 11,000 odd before patch and a Corporal, now with the patch my 11,000 odd was enough to get me too Gunnery Sarge. They are adding new ranks, as seen by the Second Lieutenant on UBAR

 

[Direwolf]

Yeah, he'd already earned those ranks with the new system. He's gonna have to work to get to the next one.

Pffft, some kids these days just dont want to earn anything do they? :| :E

 

[JellyWorld]

Man, looking at the new requirements for badges and medals... MUCH better. Vet badges here I come

I had THE MOST AMAZING tank shot of my entire BF career last night. I was playing Wake as China by the airfield. I was trying to shoot down jets that kept owning everybody, when I see a smoking Cobra moving from the western edge of the southern fork of the island towards the mini-island that has the artillery (going left to right on my screen). I line up a shot, fire. Wait...wait....like 2-3 seconds later. BOOM. AmishSlayer [Type98] Sucker or whatever his name was. I was in awe. I really wish that server was running battlerecorder

I've only done that once before and that was to a teammate's helicopter I figured I would miss so I just carelessly fired at him.

 

[MuToiD_MaN]

I don't like wake island that much ... I feel raped every time I get bombed, which is ALL THE TIME...

 

[Loke]

Yesterday I played with a really good player. He was Commander over our team, sitting in an M1A1 together with me in a Bradley defending a base.
I was an engineer so I automatically repaired him if he got damaged by enemy fire, and he was a support gunner so he loaded ammunition into my Bradley. :E

It's really awesome to play with other guys and defend bases, but rather intelligent players so they can help you out if you are in trouble.

Is anyone else having problems with BFHQ updating?

I downloaded and installed the patch the day it came out (Tuesday). On the same day i played a couple of rounds, got two promotions (in the first round) and even after a couple of hours BFHQ had still not updated my stats!!

I've also played a number of rounds yesterday and again today, and my stats STILL haven't been updated. Each time, i play a few rounds then either quit BF2 or disconnect from the server and the next time i log on my stats still haven't changed and i end up starting again from where i left off before the 1.03 patch.

btw I only play on Ranked servers and every server i've played on since installing the patch has been EA Official Europe servers.

Anyone else got similar issues?

 

[AmishSlayer]

I figure that the stat servers are changing so much with the patch that there's gonna be slowdowns in updates to BFHQ for a little while. It takes like at least an hour or so for my stats to show up in BFHQ.

Yeah but 2 DAYS!!! that's just rediculous. :O

Oh well, guess i just have to be a bit more patient and control my temper whilst getting base raped by n00bs with M95's :angry:

Well, if they're noobs, how come their raping you? Are you more of a noob than they are?

:afro:

 

[Loke]

Hm, which area of the tank was the most vulnerable in BF2? Was it between the turret and the body itself?
I just played a couple of hours ago and aimed right there on an undamaged M1A1 and it just exploded after my second shot (the first shot hit the left side IIRC).

I've been having the same problem, and it's kinda disheartening, expecially since I should be nearing my next rank soon, I;d really like to know where I stand

I am NOT having a problem getting base raped by n00bs... I think you're along on that one

 

[Direwolf]

Yeah, same problem here. But I'm patient.

 

[CyberPitz]

Mine update every 15ish minutes.../shrug

I am enjoying my goofy First Sergeant icon in game. It's so funny looking.

I have a weird problem that I had last time w/ the 1.02 patch that wouldn't allow me to DL it.

No matter what website I went to, EA/Fileplanet/Cloudcity/3dGamers/WickedGames/ hundreds of google results

I'd click on the download button and the download window (mozilla) would just not get past the "Starting..." point. SO I thought hmm, maybe it's just Mozilla, and tried in IE and still nothing.

Eventually I got 1.02 through a friend burning it to a CD.

Now I have the exact same problemw ith 1.03, I can't DL it anywhere once more. How friggin lame is this?

 

[J_Tweedy]

That sucks...A peice of advice though, if you can, dont get it, and play on unranked servers. THis patch will bring you nothing but pain and anguish...

Apparently the treads and rear are more vulnerable. Also in rare situations, hitting the underside seems to work well. Also, I got good results hitting a tank point blank :naughty:
