Firstly the stats have been systematically abused so much over the years that the impact of legitimacy on having beta updating player stats is minimal.

Further, I assume they are 'trying' to stop the blatent spoofing and abuse of stats... Since this stats abuse relates to hacks/hacked server that they don't control, if they have stuck in a fix then the only way to test this is out in the wild.

Yeah, this is really a nice assumption.

It's a beta.

Sure it's an beta. But waiting so long for it ( it was promised end 08 ) you now can easily say it has very poor quality.

Yes, I know. And I agree, but it's still betatest.

This is a beta, it is not a stable release. I wish the general public would see the word beta and not think "oh it's stable and ready for mass use!!". Beta's mean bugs, glitches, graphical issues, other GUI issues and so forth. Please note that.

Remember this: It's not stable until you see the 1.5 final/stable announcement on the BF2 homepage.

I don't think the people complaining realise this. Should be a sticky. "NOOBS, THIS IS A BETA, THERE WILL BE PROBLEMS" love DICE.

It's still in beta form, but what most of us players whose been with bf2 since the start should know is, when they have a patch they will fix one thing but mess up 10 other things that didn't even need to be touched.

Thats fixed

I have read on some websites that the new 1.5 Patch has already been hacked. I have been playing the BF games since Vietnam and some of the exploits I have seen lately is just horrible. I am glad that some of the issues have been fixed. I just hope that what ever those hackers and griefers are coming up with will not be as bad as the CTD's our servers has experienced over the last year. I can handle aimbots and such but to be CTD'ed every time they want to clear a server is just not cool and unfair to the BF Community.

The reason people complain is the whole point of releasing the beta for tests, and if no one complains and says it's all fine, they will release the final version ****ed. I hope EA sorts most of the problems out, especially the falcon controls

I have done three "very" long lists with information about bugs and other faults. But you're right, I shouldn't have personal discussions on the feedback forums.

I did not know that it was a container there, that explains it all!

I belive that these graphic bugs are caused by new cards using new drivers that isn't supported by Battlefield 2, therefor older graphic cards won't have these problems.

Greetings Insanityyyy

Go back to an older graphics card driver version and BF2 will not have the flickering texture problem anymore. It is not a problem with BF2 or new graphics cards. GL

I feel kind of stupid now!

I just make dragshots, so I don't have any snipingspots, but I could guess that it's a good one untill people start looking there because they know that snipers like that snipingspot.

Yeah, you do dont you? Dragshotting + clayspamming, I got it
Tbh thats the fact - dragshotting and clayspamming is the only thing everyone that everyone does this days. Nobody is using the sniper kit as it should be used anymore, and nobody uses the claymores as the should be used anymore (defending ladders and so on).

And when you say you like dragshots, I guess you are one of those who wants dolphin diving back (0.3) and also C4 chucking back, old GL back etc.. And I guess you also want the claymores to remain unchanged and overpowered?

You obviously misunderstand what they are complaining about. I am fine with people offereing criticisms and fixes for bugs and other things in the patch.

But the people that come here and post "*** DICE THE BETA DOESNT WORK, OMG THERE ARE GLITCHES WHY ARE THERE GLITCHES THE GAME IS RUINED" etc etc, are not helping and don't understand that there is going to be problems; its a beta.

I'm the author of Widescreen Fixer.

Widescreen Fixer - imk.cx

It would be great to see a functional FOV for widescreen in the final release.


The game uses 1.1 as a default FOV for BF2.

If you do not want to change the engine behavior from horizontal FOV to vertical FOV, you can do something like below:

// imk.cx
#include <iostream>
#include <windows.h>

using namespace std;

int main()
{
    // default game field of view
    double fieldOfView = 1.1;

    // default game aspect-ratio
    double defaultX = 640;
    double defaultY = 480;
    double gameAspect = defaultX/defaultY;

    // user's selected resolution
    // use this to figure out new aspect-ratio
    double resX = 1280;
    double resY = 720;
    double newAspect = resX/resY;

    cout << "Field of view before: " << fieldOfView << endl;

    __asm
    {
        finit
        fldpi
        push 180
        fild DWORD PTR [esp]
        fdivp st(1),st
        fld fieldOfView
        fmulp st(1),st
        push 2
        fild DWORD PTR [esp]
        fdivp st(1),st
        fptan
        fstp st
        fld newAspect
        fld gameAspect
        fdivp st(1),st
        fmulp st(1),st
        fld1
        fpatan
        push 2
        fild DWORD PTR [esp]
        fmulp st(1),st
        push 180
        fild DWORD PTR [esp]
        fldpi
        fdivp st(1),st
        fmulp st(1),st
        fstp fieldOfView
        add esp,16
    }

    cout << "Field of view after:  " << fieldOfView << endl;

    return 0;
}

Depending on how the camera and fov are setup, you might want to use MMX/SSE, or write it in C/C++ and let the compiler decide.

I take that as an insult.. I don't spam clays, some people do, I use them in defense and not in offense. The reson why I use them is to secure a corner from people trying to knife me in the back. I don't think that is clayspamming, I'm agenst clayspamming for the simple reson that it's only cowards who spam them in an offensive purpose and it is not intended to be a minefield, it's intended to be a battlefield.

About the dolphin diving, if you've read my other posts I wrote with captial letters that I did not want them to bring back the dolphin diving. And about the clays I said that they should decrease the detection raidius and blast raidius. About the GL (a.k.a Nubetube) and C4, I don't even use those kits! I only do sniper and medic sometimes if I can't play sniper because extreme nadespam or unbalanced teams. Because then medics are needed to keep the team alive.

So please don't think of me as an clayspamming noob sniper! Here's the proof that I'm almost only using the sniper kit:

(Note that this is my sniping account that I started abit after I started doing dragshots)

[JGrasli]

Ok. But you DO dragshots, thats not how the sniper should be used either. I mean, some people go in close combat dragshotting and no-scoping and kill people easier than using a normal Assault rifle.. :S

So you want the 0.7 delay for dolphin diving? Thank you!

And the GL should not be called "noobtube" in BF2, its not. Call it noobtube in the earlier versions, and call it noobtube in CoD (it requires no skill in CoD), but in BF2 its perfect - a Grenade Launcher.

Yes I do dragshots, and I don't agree that a surtain kit has a specific role and that it isn't suposed to anything but playing that role in the battle. Doing dragshots is the funniest thing in BF2 (my opinion), and if you think it's easier to kill using dragshots then using an Assult rifle, why don't you start doing dragshots?
