Battlefield 2 Patch v 1.3

[bradbcam]

ahhh i thought the V was refering to 5 (roman numerals) as in an expansion i hadn't heard of.

I havent played in a while due to slow PC

Wheres the support for widescreen monitors? I've brought this game and ain't been able to play it because of no 1680x1050

 

[booyaka]

Will await this but expect 1.31 to follow VERY shortly after!!!

You can play it at 1680x1050 no problems by adding a couple of params to the command line in the shortcut (see www.widescreengamingforum.com), but you can't change the FOV (Field of Vision), so you end up cutting a little bit off of the top and bottom of the screen.
It's not a problem really and I play all the time at 1440x900.

Having said that, I wish DICE would Extractus Digitum and add proper WS support.

Hmm no mention of a dual core disconnection fix

Some Dual Core optimisation would be nice

 

[Yewen]

Hope the only thing dropped are jeeps and at a push AA.

If APC's and tanks are dropped all the time on the defence maps such as Dalian plant it will be so hard for the defenders to do well unless the spawn time is about 10 minutes.

Oh so thats why I keep getting disconnected for no reason?

Unfortunatly yes. If you disable one of the cores before you login then it seems to be ok.

Does the lock-on fix mean no more TK's from AA?

Tis annoying shooting at enemy chopper and one of your team suddenly flying past outa nowhere and getting hit instead.

The vehicle drop sounds interesting though, i can see the mod-makers having fun with that

 

[Stellios]

airdropping vehicles. I really hope its just jeeps and buggys, as airdropping a tank or APC would be pretty difficult

 

[gazozborne]

it should be great hopefully, looking forward to dropping jeeps/buggies on peoples heads/choppers, or as jets are halfway down the runway....BAM...jeepdrop!

 

[Naffa]

Christ, LANs are going to be so much fun with this .

 

[wilders]

Any idea when this is out?

Yeah I haven't really had the chance to try that out yet since last time I went to play needed updating. but tbh I'd rather they add proper support for it before I really bother since we shouldn't have to use cmd's to play

 

[Loki]

Any idea when this is out?

No word on their website but they say "Imminent"

 

[booyaka]

a few weeks yet i would guess - then the next patch within a week after that!!!!

 

[mdixson]

this sounds awsome, will be interesting in some of the new armoured furry maps with the air drops
Can't wait, must say i am impressed with the updates, though i do feel that they should have left the game for a while, fixed the bugs, and released it complete.
But hey i've come to expect that from any game distributed by EA these days

 

[jim5000]

Airdrops wont be that bad, as i doubt they will be added to the existing maps, only AF maps will have the option (and no doubt some commander asset to blow up and disable it)

No dropping jeeps on carriers im afraid!!!!!!!
