BF2 1.5 patch on 1 September

why the **** have they kept/reinstated dolphin diving, it's not really that realistic that a guy getting shot should be able to shoot accurately (if at all) whilst diving forward yet you cant go from crouch-prone or standing-crouching with nearly the same effectiveness (yet they are much more fluid moves that allow you to keep your aim better)

why update a whole load of stuff if you're going to leave in the really ****e stuff?

Cant say im impressed with the patch, infantry still seem to be bouncing around all over the place, helo pilots can hover at one side of the map and use that point and click missile to get cheap one hit kills on other helos and armour virtually on the othe side of the map. Wouldnt be so bad if it was actually a secondary player doing it but its the pilot switching seats to do it. :rolleyes:

People still tkill to get vehicles, the vast majority of your team seem to want to stay at vehicle spawns to get a plane, planes as usual seem to have their own little war with other planes and may as well be playing a seperate game as they take near enough nothing to do with whats going on at ground level.

Roll on bf3 where im sure it will be a large case of deja vu.

Have to agree, it's still the most glitchy game I've ever put time into. Hit detection is still pathetic too, I was pretty hyped about that claim.

So many things could have been fixed that have been ignored.

To be fair BF2 is like a gazillion years old, we're lucky to be getting patches, let alone free content.

Only reason we're getting "free" content is the booster packs never took off that much compared to the stock game, enough people paid for them but when servers rolled around to those maps the player numbers dropped significantly. They try and class it as a freebie but its really more the result of a failed experiment.

you need to buy arma2 and find a well admin'd server to play on mate.

Just sounds like you are playing on the wrong servers tbh. Looks for clan servers that have a few clan members on as they should be fairly well admin'd.

On our server we kick for seat switching in the attack choppers and for not queing/TK'ing for vehicles. Obviously we can't keep on top of all of it all of the time but when there's a few of us on we try our best to run a good game.

If you end up on a server full of idiots don't stay there getting frustrated, just leave and find another. When you do find one you like set to your favourites. You only really need a list of half a dozen or so for different play styles, time zones etc and then you can pretty much always get a decent game.

Plus the more regular you become on a server the better things seem to get as you start to recognise the decent players, and them you. Being in a squad with a few other decent players goes a long way to helping to ignore the other few dozen idiots on a server.

Even at that though i find servers with admins usually have their own little hitlers in charge, i remember playing on a server (that used to be advertised on here and had its own thread), on gulf of oman my f35 got shot down over the hotel, the debris went flying down to the mec runway and destroyed 2 planes that were about to take off, for some reason it gave me credit for the kills. 5 seconds later i was kicked and banned. :confused:

I find that with a lot of servers it only takes a couple of people to mess around before it turns into a free for all. Ive had a lot of good games with bf2 but the exploit whoring and the amount of tards the game seems to magnetically draw towards it usually means its a very frustrating game.

Just hope that bf3 can address the gimmicks and be a fun game.

Nothern Strike did quite well, and the maps and content were generally very good.

Great Wall of China is a great map though.

Great update - maybe we will see some of the improvements patched into 2142 at some point?
 
I've had some great boozy nights playing BF2 with mates after we all return to our houses from the pub until god knows what time in the morning. As we are probably a lot older than most we are useless and don't do any of the geek crap that ruins the whole thing and try to find servers that are full of people who don't want to be clever and simply want to play the game and have a laugh, ideally over some beers.

All this talk of cheating, exploits and simply being nerdy spoils the whole thing and isn't clever is simply sad. If people play by the rules, stop trying to be tools and get down to shooting and blowing stuff up its epic fun, even more so when played with mates (ie ones you know from real life) with headphones and a mic in a team its proper fun, even when you're shee ite like we all are!

I don't get much time for these things anyway but I did buy ARMAII which looks epic but seems to chug a little on my PC until I can be bothered to upgrade to a new Ninga build which I am yet to get aorund to.
 
I am having problems with crashing to desktop, running win 7 RC in XP sp3 compatible mode, changed to vista sp2 compatability mode and still happening!
