Well from the talk I heard on the beta and experience from the beta, not so. :dozey: Many people say this will be the last patch until a long time because they are focusing on 2142. I think thats a true theory though because Valve is the only company I know that is loyal to new games and their old games. But still the patch has'nt come out yet so I should just hold my tongue...

 

[CyberPitz]

I don't think they are going to concentrate on 2142..I think there will be at least one more patch out that focuses on some other major items in the game. I think people are just being haters.

I'm not saying I like the whole EA/Dice thing, but I just think it's a conspericy theory about bf2 getting left out after this..there's NO proof....just rumors.

Dice Sweden is developing 2142. Dice Canada are the ones responsible for the BF2 patches. So one group works on the games, the other group cleans up the mess.

Bingo.

Although Canada seems to have some problems fixing some easily fixable things.

Like the one where claymores can be destroyed with "personell munitions" and they say they can't do it in time for 1.4.

That's...a simple fix I'm sure. I only took one year of programming..but I mean, it can't be a month long haul to fix that. I think they just don't want to ><

They say they fixed the red/blue bug, but they have'nt. :hmph:

They said they'd give me all the money and power in the world..and they didn't :hmph:

Jerks!

I've only experienced the red/blue bug once. Tried gettin a SS of it, but right before I did, he died. Never saw it again. He was in a Mounted MG.

 

[hool10]

It only happens to me when I am not in a squad. But it almost always happens and it's very frustrating. I always feels like people are tking me too lol. ;(

 

[CrazyJeepDriver]

Woot, finally its coming out. I hope this fixes the server crashes and crash to desktops above all.

 

[The Monkey]

Where is it?

 

[hool10]

Its been delayed. ;( They won't even say when it might be released either. Well, here's hoping this delay makes it the best patch ever.

Due to some last minute changes the release of the 1.4 patch has been delayed.

We do not anticipate this delay being a lengthy one, however we do not have a fixed date for release at this time.

We will update you as soon as there is further information.

Apologies to those who were expecting the patch today, however in order for this patch to succeed in the way it is intended a little extra time is being taken to ensure it is right.

This just in:

Greetings Everyone, As many of you are now aware we have made the choice to take some extra time with the 1.4 patch before release.

During our standard final processing of the 1.4 client update we came across an issue that, although it does not compromise stability, we felt needed to be addressed in order to meet our goal of improving the overall player experience with Battlefield 2.

It has come to our attention that a beta version of the 1.4 client has leaked to the general public. It should be noted by players that this file is not final and being such could cause damage to players systems.

We want to warn players to avoid the use of any client files that are not distributed by EA/DICE or one of our trusted partners. Once we have set a new schedule for release we will communicate this information to everyone.

^WEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE! I was getting sick of clicking Join Game and having Battlefield 2 crash!

^WEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE! I was getting sick of clicking Join Game and having Battlefield 2 crash!

It only randomly happened to me with some 64 player servers \=

But I'm liking the changelog. Lots of bugs are getting fixed. Now to fix claymores......

 

[Evo]

What is wrong with the Clay's?

 

[AiM]

"Red/Blue nametag bug – Fix to the issue where players would show up with the wrong color name tag"

That's what... the 10th time they've claimed a "fix"?

D:

 

[Darkwolf]

Finally. Lets hope that they stick to their promises this time. :hmph:

 

[Stigmata]

Introduced a delay from proning to standing to help reduce exploiting

Wait a sec... Are they getting rid of dolphin-diving? Or is it just a smaller issue with standing up from the prone position?

 

[hool10]

They are getting rid of dolphin diving. But I heard that in the beta once you go down, you're not getting back up again. Instead you start "humping" the ground trying in vain to get back on your feet again! So even the beta had its fair share of problems.

Hmmm. It happens very often for me no matter what.

 

[CyberPitz]

What is wrong with the Clay's?

The homosexual way of having them... having a map covered in them because your team can't set them off...and the fact that they can't be destroyed, so that path is utterly cut off. One of the main things that pisses me off in this game is the fact that I'm chasing someone, and they run through a claymore, I don't see it, and I get blown up.

As hot as that sounds, let's hope that gets fixed as well.

Theres a video out there called, "Betatime" it showed the random bugs of the beta..like shooting someone, and it not registering, no matter how many times you shot them. When you go prone, it looks like you have ~1000 ping, where you jerk around ALOT kinda like you're having a seazure*sp?* The rare inability to turn around...***nning like you have 1000 ping...when your ping is 42.

Great funny video. I'm sure the way they are going to stop the dolphine diving is making it so crouch doesn't alow you to jump/prone again so quickly... my guess.

 

[Stigmata]

Betatime!

I'm scared. Somebody hold me.

 

[CyberPitz]

Yeah thats beta 2!At that stage it should have a few if any bugs.
