New BF2 patch to fix a patch... 1.21

* Fixed the Battle Recorder crash
* Fixed the screen capture
* Fixed the issue with Pixel Shader 1.4 video cards
* Fixed the issue that caused heat seeking missiles to stick to oil towers
* Fixed the issue that caused heat seaking missiles to ziz-zag
* Reduced the maximum number of claymores that can be dropped to 2
* Fixed the Server Browser filter to enable search by map name
* Fixed the error in Client - Server communication causing sound, animation and other sync issues.

Mirrors:
*FileCloud
*FilePlanet
*EA Games FTP
*BF2S

If you have BF2 you must update to play on ranked servers. Frankly I'm still reeling from the crud they put in the last patch and personally I don't think this patch goes far enough into fixing it. I also was hoping to get another chance at my explosives badge since the claymores are so easy now, but I guess I'll be limited to 2 instead of the 5 so it will take me a little while longer. I just wish DICE/EA could release a patch that doesn't screw things up.

d'oh my bad, if a mod wants to merge or delete mine that's fine. Serves me right for not refreshing.

:P

Hurray for fixed screen capture!

Argh, I was hoping they would fix the medic/C4 thorwing thing. Well, I guess it wouldn't be a fix, but I really miss throwing my C4s over fences :(

i've been wanting to pick it up, but i'm scared the helicopters dont fly like DC(sorry, but i'm a helicopter junkie), it was full of bugs, and is still like $50+

I think it is a good game that has small room for improvement. Anytime I play BF2, I have a good gaming experience!

I was a heavy DC player too in its heyday. Choppers in BF2 are just much easier to control, and autohover when you let go of the throttle. BF2 vanilla is much better than BF1942 was, but im still waiting for some of the better mods to be released like forgotten hope 2, eve of destruction 2 and maybe the new DC.

I am pretty much about to give up on this game. With each patch new crap happens.

It takes 2 stabs to kill someone with a knife when before it was one.
I have a 50-50 shot of having my AT missle or TOW missle going THROUGH the tank.
Red/blue bug
The jump c4 was awsome. They just needed to increase the time to pull out the detonator. Not take away the toss.

At least claymores don't TK anymore. I'll have my vet explosives yet. :D

Do you guys that play bf2 have the expansion? I don' thave it yet, but it's kind of annoying that on regular bf2 servers people with the expansion can use the unlocked expansion weapons. So they have better guns because they spent another $30.

Really the guns aren't that better, the only exception being the FN2000 but only because it gives you flashbangs. The gun itself isn't better than an M16 or AK. For the most part they just give you a different option. Like giving a engineer a SMG instead of a Shotgun. Or the Anti-tank a larger clip for it's SMG, but less damage.

So....have they announced a patch for this patch yet? I give them 2 weeks.

I for one have gone back to playing Urban Terror :D

In all honesty I would wait till they acknowledge that Special forces has a major bug. I dont know what exactly it is but it causes you to crash on 2 of the 8 or so maps. This has caused a huge population drop of special forces servers. Wait till they patch it up. If you are buying it for the guns, its a toss up. If you think that $30 is worth access to 7 new guns, then go ahead. Thats what I did.

I think the expansion was worth $30. A bunch of new weapons. They are not necessarily better but the variety is nice. A few good maps.

Just be aware, if your current hardware can barely run BF2, dont bother with SF. It is even harder on your system.

no, they all were so inspired that they quit and joined the military, I know thats what I wanted to do after playing it and AA.

I imagine lots still play, its not like there have been any new FPS lately with a lot of online playing appeal.
