Updated Patch News - January 11th (reproduced from the full community update)

As well as these booster packs, we are of course still utterly devoted to providing updates to Battlefield 2. We can’t say it enough; thank you all for your support and dedication! Update 1.2 is currently undergoing public beta testing and will be released very soon. As with the first list, this second list includes confirmed fixes only:

• Server search filters now work properly

• All mines (Claymore, Anti-vehicle, C4) can now be picked up by the same class that dropped it by using the “G” key.

• Mines can no longer be destroyed with other explosives

• Flash bang effect radius decreased

• Added unlocks for Sniper and AT kits

• Fixed a bug in terrain rendering with night vision, whereby terrain was still dark in dark areas.

• Fixed a bug whereby mods that are not bf2 or not xpack permutate shaders every time a level is loaded.

• Fixed a bug whereby non-xpack mods cannot use xpack shaders.

• Fixed bug in TV guided missiles of Havoc helicopter

• Bug in MP7 fire rate fixed. Ammo count increased and mag count and damage decreased

• APC Update – “Chinese and MEC APCs can now shoot through penetrable materials”. This fix was a miscommunication to the patch team. Chinese and MEC APC’s have been reverted and the LAV25 now no longer shoots through penetrable materials.

• Vehicles no longer disappear when viewed from some vehicles with a HUD (e.g. Tanks).

• Performance gain found in static mesh rendering.

• Detonation radius from grenade launcher explosions has been reduced.

• Grenade launcher projectiles now have a minimum time before arming.

This is a list of confirmed fixes only – we are still looking at others that we hope to be able to announce soon.

Think i'll wait for the next 10 patches before I buy this knowing ea

A friend brought this up with me yesterday. I'm looking forward to the patch (about time the AA got fixed). Hopefully it'l fix the stability problems I have with the game as well.

About the addon's though, its going too far in my opinion. Between the lot of all of them, BF2 is costing about $120, more if you preordered anything. Out-frickin'-rageous. Special forces should have only been $10 if anything. Same crap was pulled with the first battlefield series. I'm sick of paying extra for stuff that should have been in the game in the first place.

The XBOX booster is FREE. The PC (the one that made EA important with the BF series) is charged.

There ya go

although , all in its 6 maps , 8 vehicles and 14 weapons and a new army

I'm a little miffed that they haven't adjusted the teamkilling for AT-Mines. It seems that even with a large red skill and crossbones, people still drive over my mines. There is nothing wrong with them blowing up for their stupidity, but to give a -4 to this poor bewildered engineer is a strange way of doing things. The commander doesn't get minus points for teamkilling with artillery...

Other than that, I don't really have any complaints about the patch at all, nothing like what I hear on other forums, where you wonder why they still play the game.

And the bonus packs look brilliant, well worth £6 each.

Jolly good I say!
