Battlefield 2 Patch Features  by Craig D at 22:05

PC
Battlefield 2 Logo On Boomtown there's an incomplete list of features for the upcoming version 1.2 patch. No time scales are given, but the phrase 'soon as possible is used'.

I can only hope that it's before Christmas, some of these changes are desperately needed, anything to seriously hinder to massively overpowered jets is a major plus. Increasing the accuracy and lock on times of air to air missiles versus other jets has been a popular choice around here recently. If they are fighting amongst themselves, they won't be annoying the rest of us, right?

* Helicopter now carry 8 missiles rather than 14
* TV-Guided missile now have a shorter range
* Hit points on all air vehicles has been reduced
* AA missile lock has been improved
* Support kits have had their primary weapons adjusted for accuracy
* Sniper kits have had their primary weapons adjusted for accuracy
* Anti-Tank kits have had their primary weapons adjusted for accuracy
* Dolphin Diving is no longer possible
* Players can no longer jump and shoot at the same time
* Prone Spamming is now fixed
* Sprint exploit is now fixed
* The Sa80 weapon has been improved
* The G3A3 weapon has been improved
* Reload while sprinting has been enabled
* Chinese and MEC APCs can now shoot through penetrable materials
* Damage decreased for the M134
* Medic defibrillator paddles have been adjusted. They now reload while not in use.

Nice to see the SA80 get an improvement, it's been the bigest piece of shit in the game for a while. Spud gun tbh.

this patch should have been released ages ago as they FINALLY seem to be addressing the major flaws. better late than never i guess.
The SA80 is far from shit, everybody seems to say that but if you use it correctly it's very decent. single shot with a half decent aim downs enemies very fast. If your style of gameplay is guns blazing use the default or *shock* don't choose medic.

WOW

oh the SA80 is sweet in the game till you go fully auto... but i know for a fact that a 3-5 round burst doesnt spread much over 200meters (pltoon sergent hit 60rnds/60rnds at 200meters in 3-5 rnd bursts! )

only 8 missiles on chopper? and improved armor of AA vehicle while better lock on missiles? time is getting harder for pilots
on the other side you can throw away 2 or 3 missiles faster
but there is no word on unlocking the SF weapons or their inventory, i dont like blend if i have none to choose (and i am not willing to pay for it)

This is cool - very cool ... If you playing SF the only unlocks you have available to you as a Reb / Insurgent are arguably pretty poor when compared to the Western Armed forces - this address that issue & as for the BF2 well this is good news all round - I seriously think this will boost the games appeal
