BF2 1.50 patch Beta 2 maybe released sometime this week.

I hope they fixed the issues regarding the 'falcon' controls conflicting with joystick controls. thats shit is FUBAR'd there is no way to play without the game messing up your settings again n again n again because EA wants to add support for some $200 peice of crap a.k.a the 'falcon'

I thought EA's QC team were better then that, but obviously i was wrong. I wont be participating in anymore betas till the final comes out.

WHEN does the final come out?

WHEN does the final come out?

3 more years!

 

[hat]

3 years is a lot of fuck-up time..

 

[InnocentCriminal]

3 Years - that's just retarded!

 

[Blacksniper87]

lol good joke ............. I hope

 

[mab1376]

Any idea on ETA for this patch? Also I hope they remove DRM like the usually do in Unreal Tournament games after a patch or two. I'm sick of keeping that disc in the drive...

When this is out they will have totally revived the game from the lull it was it.

I don't think these patches are going to bring the game back. There are only like 5 servers up for it! People will NEVER be happy with what they release. I thought I was a picky asshole, but then I played BF2 and read the forums after they patched the game, evertime it was something new

 

[tonyd223]

my disc is cracked and the crack is advancing! still a good game tho

 

[Gzero]

Mini disc image should do the trick... it used to.

 

[CDdude55]

Well, i cant find the BF2 disc, and as shadow said, the servers are probably low anyways.

Im not too sure how u got your server browser filter set up but I can pick out a good 300+ servers.... most of them are empty though. its mainly EA's own servers that always seem to get a fair bit of action.

& yeah, I agree - I DONT think this patch or the '1' new map is enough to bring people back to the game. when it first came out. the game was the best & it was perfect for the machines that people were running it on. EA need to learn to keep supporting the game while its at its peak. not fling it under the bed & forget about it for 2-3years. BF2 was an exceptional game that slowly went to ruin. due to EA's ignorance & stupidity.

also they need to fix the long fucking intro. I want to play a game not watch the full Lord Of The Rings trilogy. I dont want to sit there waiting 1min to be able to load into the log in screen.

Dude you never needed to. Read the tweak guide.

Disabling the Intro Movies

The introductory movies to BF2, although fun to watch the first couple of times, fast become quite annoying, adding to the startup times for the game, as well as the memory usage (the main movie is 135MB in size). To disable them permanently, I don't recommend deleting the movie files - this may cause problems with verification of client information on certain servers and/or with Punkbuster.

Instead, simply rename the relevant files in your \Program Files\EA Games\Battlefield 2\mods\bf2\Movies\ directory to something else (e.g. rename the Intro.bik to Intro.backup). The files to rename are: Dice.bik, EA.bik, Intro.bik, Legal.bik and Welcome.bik. This will mean the intro movies are all skipped as BF2 starts to load. If you find the movies playing in the background of the Login screen and Settings screens annoying, you can also rename the menu.bik and menu_loggedin.bik to something else as well.

If you've also renamed/removed the menu.bik and menu_loggedin.bik movies, and don't want a dull grey background in the in-game menus, then download this small BF2_Menu_Logo.zip file (201KB), extract the contents and copy them to your \Movies directory. These small files show the BF2 logo in the background, and look much nicer. Thanks to EdisLeado for preparing these files.

Removing all the original movies from the game can save over 250MB of data being loaded up during the start of the game and being placed into memory - this will help smooth your gameplay particularly for those with less RAM. If for any reason you experience any problems with the game after renaming the movies, simply rename them back to their original names.

Update: Instead of the above, you can simply use the +restart command line command in your BF2 startup icon. See the Advanced Tweaking section.

I'l see what happends anyway. if them monkeys have managed to fix all the bugs in the final patch then i may make a part time/full time return to BF2. I miss owning the skys above a little too much.

however somebody ported the BF2 map 'Sharqi' to CoD:4 which was awesome, if anyones actually played on it. im not too sure of any servers that run that map anymore. the clan whose custom maps server has since then disbanded & they took all of it down. I havent really been into CoD:4 for a while but I may make a return to playing stock maps. I havent done that in more then a year.

Well let me know. I'm a badass co-pilot if you can get me a view.

haha!! Yeah those were the days. I use to have a friend i played with regularly who was always my gunner. he was shit hot with the camera guided missiles. - I always prefer to be the pilot anyway. if there were ever a 'best squad' charts. me & my friend would come top or almost top as 'Team Airwolf' We musta been playing together almost most nights till Armored fury was released online then he decided to ditch me & i never heard from him again. its always hard to find someone skilled on the guns.

but one of my best memories was when i was piloting a blackhawk chopper in Wake Island with every available space onboard being taken up by 1 of my clan mates & we were using it as a gun platform.

Obviously we'd ALL get killed quite a lot but it was funny going in real low for gun runs. the blackhawk chopper was so underpowerd.

but being an experienced pilot - I never flew it at maximum torque unless I was dodging missiles or heavy ground fire. so I always had some grunt in reserve.

I really disliked how slow & sluggish the controls were,

The minis on the blackhawk are useless.
