1.4 Out!

[CR0M]

I demand to see the body, dammit

 

[Slacker]

Perfect, I try loading up a Karkland map and it crashes. Whoo hoo!

 

[Hectic Glenn]

RTJ was really fun, the first MEC point is really open, and the 2nd one is slightly less so. As you work backwards the urban warfare becomes very cramped and it's very similar to areas in Karkand and Mastuur city. I'd say its a pretty good addition. I've not noticed anything else different, not checked the vehicle dropping or prone delay, but it seems ok. I do seem to see the 'theres a problem with your connection' still.

They nerfed C4 again?

I didn't know you could nerf it anymore, lol.

 

[Hectic Glenn]

You can, when you throw it now it lands on you.

I miss tossing C4. Pretty shit EA removed that feature. I think I jumped from 1.03 or 1.04(forgot versions excuse me) to 1.2, and it was changed. Needless to say I was pissed. Thinking about uninstalling what I have now and go back to 1.0 because that version ****ing rocked.

I like to think I was one of the best chuckers. Man, those were the days....
*sigh*

 

[Hazar]

yeah, them taking that out didn't really make much sense at all.

 

[CyberPitz]

I don't understand how C4 is anything good at all anymore. I mean, before, you saw a tank. Hiding in the shadows, it passes by unoticing. You leap out of the shadows, plant 2 C4 on it..and blow it, saving your teams lives.

NOW

You hear a tank comming down the road. Hoping he is blind, you walk out to the road and plant the C4. He see's you and mows you down. OR he doesn't see you, and you get away hiding. Well, I coubt he's going to ignore those nice big black spots on the brown road...hmmm..evade.

Tank continues to rape all your team. Awesome.

 

[Unfocused]

Or rather, you run up to a moving tank and once you touch it on one of the sides - you're dead.

First time, people asked for a nerf because there were C4 chuckers which threw C4 at infantry and blew it up. Now, nobody asked for another nerf, but I guess DICE thought it would be nice to change some more thing in the patch and changing things like J10/F35 balance and knife hit detection was too hard. Plus, they knew where to look, as they've already nerfed it once. I mean, it's probably just one guy with no clue about programming, browsing config files in notepad and guessing what command does what

C4ChuckingDistance "2.35" - oooh that's probably going to change the C4 throwing distance

now how do they expect me to fix the J10/F35 inbalance when there's no

J10F35Inbalance "1" that I could change to "0". Dumb gamers!

 

[CyberPitz]

Personally, I think they probably nerfed the C4 since the use of macros still allows for c4 chucking. They are just taking care of that.

 

[xcellerate]

why dont they just make a 3 second delay between the c4 LANDING and when it can explode?

Then you can still throw, but infantry would be able to run away.

 

[CR0M]

Wait a minute... throwing packs isn't really that much of an issue to me but are u guys saying you can't even stick C34 to stuff? that really doesn't make sense

 

[Hectic Glenn]

Nah it does still stick to things, you just can't give it some distance when you throw it, basically falls in front of your nose now.

 

[CR0M]

ah ok that's kool, i'm usually on top of tanks when i use it anyway.
But still, a pointless nerf when there are so many other things that need balancing, like those ridiculously untouchable flying statpads.

 

[AiM]

Well a reason I could think of removing C4 chunking was that on any City maps, it rendered the AT class useless. But a bigger reason was because of the anti-infantry capabilities, it's an instant kill from a relatively far away which combined with bunny hopping back then made it a complete bitch.

 

[burnzie]

Over half a gig for a patch. Jesus i wish i didnt have this povity ass conection, might aswell be dial up.

 

[Slacker]

Wow, I just played Road to Jabbawhatever. That's probably my new favorite map, geez that was an intense ride.

 

[ailevation]

Dude everytime i install BF2 then I try to install the 1.4 patch BF2 no longer starts up! GRRR i don't want to be ****ing stuck with the freshest version!

How far does it get before it dies? Does it open the splash screen? Does it give an error? Does anything open up in task manager, then just close?

Mine has that problem, and has had it for 2 versions. It will open the splash screen, and then just close bf2.exe ....sometimes give me an error. I have to open the CD tray, and then close it to work.

Thats my fix

 

[ailevation]

Yeah cyber.. it like loads up then goes to some black screen then just goes back to the desktop... no error messages or anything. lol.
