We are currently working on the next Battlefield 2 update. We believe this update has some significant improvements that everyone will appreciate. We’ve seen the discussions on the forum and will do our best to address as many issues as possible, as soon as possible. Here is a quick run down of just some of the issues we have been working on.

- Helicopter now carry 8 missiles rather than 14
- TV-Guided missile now have a shorter range
- Hit points on all air vehicles has been reduced
- AA missile lock has been improved
- Support kits have had their primary weapons adjusted for accuracy
- Sniper kits have had their primary weapons adjusted for accuracy
- Anti-Tank kits have had their primary weapons adjusted for accuracy
- "Dolphin Diving" is no longer possible
- Players can no longer jump and shoot at the same time
- "Prone Spamming" is now fixed
- "Sprint exploit" is now fixed
- The Sa80 weapon has been improved
- The G3A3 weapon has been improved
- Reload while sprinting has been enabled
- Chinese and MEC APCs can now shoot through penetrable materials
- Damage decreased for the M134
- Medic defibrillator paddles have been adjusted. They now reload while not in use.

We'll be announcing further additions to this list, but that will have to wait until the next update. This is NOT the complete list of items we are working on. As we have more items go through testing and we are sure of a change we will update you.

When you jump, then hit prone, and do it several times over.

awesome ... the nubs cried ea into changing the game just like they did ( nubs ) with cod. i dont think itll be quite as big of a change as cod ... the prone diving was about the only thing that made cod fun . prone diving out windows and onto furniture was fun as shit.


btw : this is super fuking gay.
- Players can no longer jump and shoot at the same time

might be the end of bf and me. im pretty sure youve been able to jump and fire since 1942 ffs.

god damn fuking crying nubs

Was playing a game of special forces last night these fags with the tag [crew] oOo: , thats practically all they did, never once ran they just hopped about the place.

Seems gay hat helo's now carry 8 missiles, they did the same thing in bf:nam and gyaed up the huey making it fire only 1 rocket at a time instead of 2. hake:

jump+raping with shotty is the main fun for me...ill still give it a go.

when anything is referred to as Vanlla, it means it's the stock version of the game, unmodified, like the very first time you've installed the game.

Why is that kinda shit never discovered in playtesting and removed before the game ships? oOo:

The official Battlefield 2 website has been updated today with some more news about the 1.2 patch. One additional feature that will be released with the patch is the ability progress to officer ranks, rather than just enlisted ranks. Read the full update below:

By now, you have all seen the list of fixes in the next update (1.2). We are still trying to nail down a few final items and put the final touches in place.

Here's a list of additional items to look for in version 1.2:
UAVs are now visible in the world so if you are being scanned, you can know about it and take action against it.
Rank progression is no longer limited to the enlisted ranks. All officer ranks are now available.
Bug that allowed players in vehicles to contest a flag from outside the flag radius is now fixed.

I’d also like to take this opportunity to clarify some confusion stemming from our updates. The first item is on the topic of grenades. Players will still be able to toss grenades while jumping. Although the ability to fire while jumping has been removed, players will still be able to initiate a grenade toss prior to jumping and follow through with the toss, thereby gaining themselves some extra distance. We understand that there will be some adjustment in tactics required when the patch comes out but we are confident that the community will quickly come to grips with the new tactics.

The second item is on the topic of the booster packs. We have not created the maps as a separate expansion pack requiring a separate server. The booster packs will increase the content of the base game and thereby may be run on a server in regular rotation with the original maps.
