Very good

johnrock2

wolfi · 08-04-2009, 05:54 PM

Sounds very promising. Can't wait!

Assuming that this will be the last BF2 patch ever, is there any chance we modders get an updated BF2_r.exe or, even better, an updated editor that can handle the new engine additions?

RanCorX2 · 08-04-2009, 06:21 PM

thats all very good getting no dvd for bf2, what about 2142?

FrankCastleITA · 08-04-2009, 06:35 PM

Thanks for update btw... let's hope in the end of April.

This only works for the plane and only while it is doing its take off from the runway. So if you run over someone with a jeep on the runway you'll lose points and can be punished. You can't fly low and TK someone on the runway either.

OMG, cool beans! Another scenario is to be immune to SRAW/ERYX and C4 while in chopper or F35 from team mates. So many immature players either FTK (force tk) or TK for the plane. FTK is now resolved, I'd love to see a way to not get intentionally TK'd while inside an air vehicle.

waht about the commander voice-message-spamming??

You know all ppl will see in that sentence is end of April. If you don't make it...these forums will be a very unfriendly place for you. Appreciate the update.

JGrasli · 08-04-2009, 07:37 PM

Bazajaytee - please reveal some info on if the update will include some bugfixes.
Start BF2 and join a server a few times - you can see the bug with the server info (name/ip/graphic) on the loading screen and on the "server info tab" on the scoreboard list. Getting that tiny little bug looked at/fixed cant be too much to ask for. Its the most noticeable bug in the whole game, a bug that everyone can see everytime they play the game. This bugfix is all I'm asking for right now, nothing else.

Baza - ...

KBoomDUMAL · 08-04-2009, 08:28 PM

Wow, is it coming?!

What about:
1) Servers put to reset without stopping (it's some kind of hack, don't know exactly what)
2) Parachute hack, "speed hack" for land vehicles
3) J-10 x F-35, balanced. What about the F18? Is it becoming the new J-10?
4) Black Hawk: please make the machine guns stronger, not as strong as they were at 1.0. Using/hunting BHs was fun.

Nakamp · 08-04-2009, 08:50 PM

It would be great if you could somehow disable mouse acceleration.. hope I didn't say that too late.

It won't be there for the Beta but its not ruled out for being added in time for final release.

Its something I want to do for BF2142 as well and will be pushing for it so fingers crossed everyone

Same as Widescreen support, its not there in Beta but its something I want to have sorted for Final release.
The Beta coming out is to get your feedback on whats been fixed and especially the new map. While the Beta is going on we will still be changing and fixing things.

The only Macro banning being carried out will be that done by Punkbuster. We aren't going to be making any changes to prevent it in game.

Regarding server info bug, while this bug is annoying its low on the list of things we'll fix as there is limited resource on Battlefield 2 and 2142 so we fix what we can in the time we have.

I keep seeing parachute hack, can someone expand on it or link me to a video?

Our plane balancing should bring all the planes into a more even playing field. Play the beta and let us know if it doesn't.

The AA fix has been to improve its tracking on planes and adjust what its actually tracking on the plane making even laggy players in planes more accurate. Whether the missile goes crazy after hitting a tree we don't think it does and it hasnt in testing but give it a try and let us know.

Black Hawk won't be changed for better or worse depending on who you ask.

Are you talking about how when you jump off a builing like in karkand and you deploy your parachute then it makes you get in the actual builing? This only works in a couple spots. Ill try to find a video.

FrankCastleITA · 08-04-2009, 09:23 PM

Baza, will BF2 1.50 support USB headsets? Currently I can't make my USB mic work with BF2 voice (Plantronics DSP500).

wolfi · 08-04-2009, 09:28 PM

That whole thing with mouse acceleration and usb headsets is windows-related and has nothing todo with BF2. Problem is, BF2 chooses the default sound devices for in- and output, means you would have to set the USB headset's mic as the default input device in your windows options.

I highly appreciate the time you take to give us so many answers, wonder if I ever get an answer to my post above

Nope mate... I can make it work easily with Steam, setting it, as you have just said, as the default sound devices... no way with BF2... default or not.

Hey Baza I think this is what your talking about. There are more vids on this. YouTube - BF2 1.41 Karkand Glitch #4

A big step forward!!I love ya Baza hehe

Well its not a hack its just a simple config change(Check your PM'S) but all Sites which are selling multihacks implemented this feature in their hacks.And it look like this:
A player can stay in the air forever and he can fly across the map and he can get on any roof he wants.Its the same Configchange like the Apc/Car Speed exploit:

YouTube - BF2 parachute hack 9cab27b2 death

CovertSpecialOp · 08-04-2009, 10:08 PM

Baza,

Can you please reply to my question about team mates TKing for Planes and Choppers?

I like the idea that your team mates cannot FTK. But that doesn't stop them from TKing you when you're in the chopper or plane with their SRAW/M95/C4. I think the vehicle should have FF turned off for that. M95 and C4 are deliberate TK's, you just can't say you accidentally did that...SRAW on a chopper or F35 on take off by team mates is also very very deliberate, so I think it's perfectly fine to turn off FF on that...

Does anybody agree or am I the only one concerned about this?

I actually saw somebody do this. I didn't know if it was a hack or a glitch. I couldn't reproduce it myself even when I turned up my mouse sensitivity all the way up. I haven't looked at the youtube link but what I saw was a guy who jumped off the carrier (Wake Island) and turned upside down and floated to the island. It was too funny, nothing could stop him except for the z10, but j10s couldn't shoot him down and flying into him would just crash lol...oh yeah that reminds me for my next post

CovertSpecialOp · 08-04-2009, 10:13 PM

BAZA!!!

Another thing I need to bring up is the collision detection between planes and "parachuters". This is the most ridiculous bug I've seen. Basically if a plane collides with a soldier having their parachute deployed, the plane blows up and the lone soldier earns the kill for it!!!!!

I don't understand the logic behind that. The plane should be able to fly into the "parachuter" and kill him without even getting damaged. This needs to be addressed. Please tell me 1.5 has a fix for it

Winsrp · 08-04-2009, 10:20 PM

is something being changed to the award requirements? like reduce the 400 tank hours to something like 150, or 175 for gold? and 100 tank hour to 50 or 75 for silver?

Reducing the 25.000 commander points for the war ribbon to something like more in this world to like 12.500?

For the rest I have no complains... just those 2 that are IMO over exaggerated.

And on game play, i would like to see maybe a reduction on the requirements for heal points and repair points... they are just too hard to get, specially repair points... i had to be repairing the AA of a carrier for a whole 30 min round to get 20 repair points... its just way to difficult.

And too bad is not a new game, it would be nice to have more ranks with award requirements.
