stoddy, whats wrong with the purple heart medal?

So... after installing patch 1.12 i've noticed people using the new "flash-bang" grenades, but surely that is not so fair as I don't have the Special Forces pack and thus can never get that weapon?

Its given to people who die in action against an opposing force and in BF2s case, die excessively

You need to find a good admin server, stay away from the EA UK servers and you miss most idiots

But if you kill them and pick up their kit you will have the new weapon until you next get killed

you can pick them up off the dead guys and use them, same as any weapons you come across.

i agree tho, wish they hadnt allowed the cross over tbh

What he is politely saying is that you get pwned - big time

I love this game

megatron · 1 Dec 2005 at 15:19

My fav game atm.

Got tired of bf1942 + expansion packs and sold em, but now Im back. Still need to get l33t with a chopper tbh.

I actually prefer the server which runs only city maps, but it always seems to be full and I havent seen it since installing 1.12 either.

Im not one for being forced to buy an expansion either. I bought road to rome for the original bf1942 and that wasnt as good as normal bf1942 or desert combat for some reason.

I just installed it an hour ago and yeah, not quite the product BF2 is!

Some of the zoomed weapon graphics and menu graphics look poor by comparison - initial impression anyway.

I like the grapple hook though!

It's early days though for me and I've not tried the jetski or quad bike yet.

I like SF as a group with grapple & zip lines as they make the maps more dynamic.

What I don't like is the fact that you can't get the SF weapons on the MEC/Russian side...

What I don't like is the TK bug/hack where (a) you see a red tag and kill it only to be reported as TKed and punished, or, (b) you someone shoots you, it's reported as a TK but you don't get an option to punish as they're on the other team.. I assume these two are linked but very annoying.

Burned_Alive · 2 Dec 2005 at 01:43

SF should've been free, especially since BF2 was so expensive for the most part

Pho · 2 Dec 2005 at 02:39

I love that big, NickK. Managed to kill some poor member on my team a few times before I realised.

It's so annoying though when people drive over my mines, or run into my claymores etc and punish me. :E

Well if im honest i would say it was worth £19.99 only due to its popularity online, but the things i was disappointed with most were the fact that only a handful of new weapons, i really would have liked 2 hear some new Arabic voices, rather then useing the same ones they use for MEC for MEC Insurgents and MEC Special Forces, becomes quiet repetative and annoying, same with American voices, only new voices r one set of Russians, and British SAS which sound like an American guy doing a really bad English accent, but anyway, enough flaming :|P

Yep, you still need patch 1.12 with or without SF.

Just loaded BF2+1.12patch and its odd takes 5 minutes to load into EA account and when u click multiplayer takes 2-4 minutes to get in? Once in its ok though !

Im assuming its something to do with my rigg, or does anyone know if its a common issue?
