http://www.bit-tech.net/news/2005/10/03/bf2_103patch_soon/

 

Thank god for that patch!!!
I can finally change my name

 

Any chance someone could paste a list of the changes in here for all us people sitting behind nasty internet filters?

I'm really hoping they've changed the TK's system as they promised to do to encourage the use of mines and claymores for defence.

 

im gonna wait for the patch of the patch before installing

edit:
New Features

* Stats compare - view the extended stats details for any other player in your BFHQ simply by double-clicking on their name on the leader board or using the new search feature!
* Server Favorites and History - find your favorite servers that much easier. No more searching for them through the main server list!
* Nickname Prefix - Add and change your clan tag to your account name at will. No more creating alternate account names to cover the changes in your competitive lifestyle!
* Supply Drop Icons - Supply drops now appear on the main map and within the 3D Map. Find that elusive supply drop much, much quicker!
* Points for Destroying Command Objects - players now receive points for destroying the commander's toys. Special Forces players rejoice!
* Server Reserved Slots - Server Operators can now set aside slots for their admins to join a full server at any time!
* Vehicle Passengers - the names of players in a vehicle with you are now displayed when you enter or change seats.
* Countermeasures - a reload bar has been added for vehicle countermeasures. You'll always know now when you can set off that next flare!

Tweaks

* Point Farming changes - DICE has implemented functionality that makes it significantly harder to point farm on Ranked Servers.
* Mod Support - Mods now work properly with the Dedicated Server! Additionally, the game will automatically switch mods when joining a server that is running a mod you have installed but do not have activated.
* Map tweaks - Spawn menu map and Commander maps now scale based on the size of the level being played (16, 32 or 64 players). Mini-map also scales automatically based on the vehicle type you are using (manual changes to zoom levels are remembered as well).
* Commander scoring - No more TKs from Artillery!
* Vehicle tweaks - No more accidental kills from bumping a friend with your tank (try to avoid hitting him at speed though) and no more struggling uphill in an APC. Also no more improper TK allocation from vehicle explosions.
* Auto Team Balance tweaks - Commanders and Squad Leaders now immune to team switch.
* Anti-Air Missiles - These are now much more effective against fast-movers.

…and much, much more!

 

I look forward to the 'much, much more!'.
What could it be? Hopefully nothing too drastic, perhaps making the 'bunny-hopping' dance a little harder to do.

 

Agreed, imo a jump should take out half your stamina and without stamina you can only vault low obstacles...

 

I loved that map!

 

Well, I'll be downloading this when I get home. Be nice to play Wake again.

 

how you gonna do that then? not released yet

 

Buh. So I didn't read EVERY word in the article, but I got the jist of it.

 

thank God on the AA missiles, currently, they are worthless IMO. 50cal on tank the only thing I have had any success at taking down helos (with the exception of the occational lucky barrett shot)

 

AA missiles are fine against choppers imo, they're just worthless against jets
the trick is to lock the chopper until the pilot chaffs then fire off both missiles quickly, otherwise they just chaff and you miss
i've been on the recieving end of enough AA missiles to know

 

81%

The one day I didnt check www.totalbf2.com and its there wating for me

 

I will wait for patch 2.1 instead

 

All good so far, promotions have changed, got promoted up 3 times to staff sargent (i think) which meant 3 unlocks (have just under 8000 pts).

Love the re-issue of Wake Island, I hope they do it with other BF1942 maps, this game needs more maps TBH.
