BattleFeild 1942 V1.2 Patch RELEASED!
 

Sheesh, no one made a statement from EA or anything!

[quote:cbef1]After weeks of steadily growing anticipation, DICE and EA are proud to present the North American version of the Battlefield 1942 1.2 patch (a European version is currently in the works). While there's a more detailed list of the fixes and tweaks below, we wanted to highlight some of 1.2's features including a new file structure for mods and expansion packs, improved AI response, and better support for NVIDIA cards.

We'd also like to thank the hordes of players who suggested other enhancements, tweaks, and fixes they'd like to see. Rather than ignore those suggestions, we chose to include as many of those suggestions as we could in the 1.2 patch. We've been thoroughly testing the patch and feel that you'll truly find that this patch will only make your Battlefield 1942 experiences better. So from all of us at DICE/EA, enjoy your holiday weekend with Grandma’s pumpkin pie and a healthy dose of Battlefield 1942!

[quote:cbef1]NETWORK/SERVER FIXES

Low close combat hit accuracy due to network lag is much improved.

Some Server CPU usage optimizations: Multiple server instances should perform better.

Sorry Ed, but its not realism infact its not realistic the Tiger I did not rock back and forth like a bowl of jello when it moved, It was a very stable gun platform, so it was fucked up, way fucked up.

Try again, the tiger tank DID rock about when it moved. The only tank in ww2 that didn't wobble about when it fired was the sherman. The sherman had the ability to move and fire whereas german tanks had to stop and if they were moving at any type of decent speed they would rock a bit when coming to a stop.

Look at the size of the barrel on the tiger and compare it to the glorified coke can with treads (commently known as the sherman). Its fairly obvious its gonna rock about a bit with a barrel of that size on the front of it, the german tank destroyers were even worse when it came to rocking about after being on the move.

Gerard is right.

Yes Gerard you are correct that it rocked when it fired, but not nearly as much as in BS1942, and it certainly did not rock even half as much when it moved over tiny little bumps. I'm not saying it stood like a stone or anything, just that the devolpers really screwed it up and made it bounce around like a rubber ball.

Is this a mohaa website or a bf1942 cmon get with the program here.
