Battlefield 2 1.2 Patch released  by Craig D at 17:39

PC
Battlefield 2 Logo EA and DiCE have now released the much anticipated version 1.2 BF2 patch. The incremental patch from 1.12 is a mere 82mb. The changelog is a bit big to paste here and most of you guys already know what changes are included.

Easier to kill aircraft and a nerfed n00btube would seem to be highlights though.

I wouldn't worry, most of the servers won't be updated tonight anyway. + the patch isn't that huge.

Woohoo! At last a decent patch!

Don't need to be member of fileplanet for fast downloads, here's a tip:

1. Find the filename of what patch you're looking for.
2. Goto http://www.filemirrors.com/ and put in the filename search.

Nine tomes out of ten there will be a mega fast link there! Weeeeeeee!

easier to kill planes will depend on the pilot though.. it's easy to avoid missiles.

Thanks Midnight, I started downloading the patch last night from EA and after a few hours I was on 12%. So I left it over night, woke up this morning and " The server has been reset". But now from fileshack I am already on 13% after 10mins which is good. Does it fix the bug where when a medic heals you, you continue to hear the noise for the rest of game? I get that a lot...?

no point downloading this, might as well wait for the patch they'll release to fix this one.

if you can call the US team not being able to leave the boat thanks to the barrage of elite homing nukes that are fired at any air vehicle 'an improvement' then yes, it's great fun.

not from what i've read.. ghosttown is shit now too because the AA locks you as soon as you take off and the map's too small to avoid it

I like it - played some city maps on the 50Klip server last night & found it a major hoot - also unlocked the PKM now as they are usable at range, have one unlock left & am not sure on what to spend it on . The new sniper rifle seems much like the M24 but with a very cool shot effect .I think though the attack choppers are a little to flimsy now , they could do with a a touch more armor . As for the beach maps well peeps are gona have to start using the dinghy's now & or find more intelligent ways of approaching the shore.

I agree with midnigt, helis on Ghost suck now. Your locked, deploy flares and get hit straight away, and even if you do a barrel roll/loop you get hit whereas before I could dodge most time!! You can't get any driver points in black hawk anymore cause you get shot to much!

The rest is quite good, like accuracy, but the bunny hopping thing is only bad for jumping into or out of windows on Warlord to get into palace. Havn't been Nube Tube too much which is good! AT LAST!!!

Patch 1.2 = Sniper heaven

Ben, it's a major part of the game they ****ed up.. i'm sure if they ****ed up some infantry stuff which you're so in love with then you'd moan too. you get a grip

Grant, it was massivley unbalanced before the patch in favour of planes, and yes it would seem they have gone too far in the other direction but it might at least stop so much tking for vehicles for a while.

it doesnt. There's probably more people waiting for planes because they know they'll be down in 5 minutes so people don't have as long to wait... anyway.. cba to argue.. i'm not the only one thinking it's shit. Go read some other forums to see the hundreds of complaints.

I wasn't arguing, I was just being a twat and rubbing it in

Still you canlt actually beleive that a game where you cna get 40+ kills in a round without being even close to getting killed is right and fair. there has to be some fair middle ground here, the challange is to find it.

you can get 40+ kills on the ground without a death if you have a squad working together and reviving each other though, like everything it depends on teamwork.. the majority of the times no-one dies in planes is due to the enemy never sitting in AA, or never using the planes to take out bombers etc. It's not the games fault that teamwork doesn't exist on public servers.

Tbh - Jets are the one thing Ive always hated on BF - Wake or Gulf are the worst by a country mile for Cu**s in planes - You never see ppl raping on Wetlands map. Soon as it turns into an urban map ud do well to take off or make it to the shore by air or sea.

Planes suck ass - Easier to shoot down - GOOD im happy gettimg more kills, im happy also knowing that I can be in a squad of ppl and know that any second im not goin to be killed by some * in a plane because hes too busy flyin over a runway healing himself.

End of the day it only takes you out of the battle for a few seconds as you do so but atleast Infantry get a bit more leway now

im on about just tryin to get off a carrier - From the first spawn - thats the one thing that F*'s me off . Dalian Plant aswell - You fly boys love that one Im not to fussed about gettin bombed part and parcel of the game - Just the flyboys who love a little rapeage No need and it needed sorting -

As for the ground defence maybe they could of moved the turrent from teh Crane Spawn point on teh left on Dalian if its pickin off B hawks to easily from the carrier - but ppl will just have to adapt

if you think plane raping on dalian was bad enough on the carrier try getting off the carrier at all now. You get locked from the shore and instant killed before you can take off.. i'd rather have the planes raping because at least they have to fly back and re-arm every 30 secs or so. The AA guys just sit in all 3 turrets on the shoreline and own everything.. then the planes and choppers finish off the boats that make it to shore.

I think they should make it easier for planes to repair, but the damage on the AA is fine. If a plane gets hit by a missle it should be ****ed

Choppers... Maybe not its harder to dodge. The thing that annoys me is AA always hit something, 9/10 its ur teamate not the person u were shooting at

the damage is fine, the fact the missile tracks you no matter what you do isn't. I never said the damage was bad in the patch.

hence when you tell me to 'get a grip' I ignore you too.
