I'm waiting for a download slot now, should be interesting happy:

NEW FEATURES

- Air dropped vehicles: Squad members can now send a request up the chain of command for a vehicle to be dropped at their location.

- Co-op: Co-op Mode allows you to play Single Player levels on the Internet and LAN with both AI controlled bots and human players. Several new options have been created that will allow the server creator to modify how the bots behave in game.

Number of Bots: This setting allows you to determine the total number of bots that will spawn in game.

Bot Ratio: This setting allows you to determine the percentage of total bots that will spawn for each team. For example, setting this value to 25 means that 25% of the total bots will spawn in Team 1, and 75% in Team 2. Team 1 is always the MEC, Chinese, or their allies, while Team 2 is always the USA, EU, and their allies.

Bot Difficulty: This setting determines the skill level of the bots. 10 is easiest, 100 is the most difficult.

- Default Kit Selection: The kit that you used last is remembered at the beginning of the round and between maps.

BUG FIXES & GAMEPLAY TWEAKS

- Fixed issues with remote console and linux server

- Prevented ban list from being cleared in the event of a server crash.

- Fixed the bug where helicopters abandoned in the air would continue flying.

someone on la cant said the vehicles are just buggys ... still should be pretty nice having transportation dropped.

Stammer · 05-23-2006, 04:06 PM

Wait, they still update this?

mr.miyagi · 05-23-2006, 06:01 PM

Well the Jeep vehicle drop is the only thing I noticed different when playing..

I think I'll go back to USI as I've been doing, that mod is much better cool:

Anyone try the coop yet?

Judas · 05-23-2006, 07:56 PM

the range on the igla sites has been shortened ... you can sight air vehicles but if not in range you wont get a tone ... they have to be pretty damn close to get a tone.

the vehicle drop is pretty damn lol ... the places you can drop them is good stuff.

Stammer · 05-23-2006, 09:05 PM

It be nice if there was a list to choose from like tanks and apcs, rather then a dinky little buggy, other then that this patch is nominal at best.

Judas · 05-23-2006, 09:16 PM

yah would be nice but then the bf would be littered with armor ... plus it would give too much of a tactical advantage in some cases. ive already noticed how much of a menace buggys/trucks can be if dropped close to a main base with the assets.

Sgt>Stackem · 05-25-2006, 11:03 AM

the buggys are great, drop one on the carrier and run people down all day!!!

Yet another shitty patch, they somehow managed to fuck the server browser up even more now, click on a server you want to join and the fucking thing hops up and down, changes maps changes amounts of players every time you click on it.... oOo: oOo: oOo:

Just simpy fuckin amazing, what RETARDS test these fucking patches that theyre so blind as not to see something as kick you in the balls repeatedly obvious as this??

Aye I was clicking each server the other day and their name changed each time I clicked.
Another gave me 0 ping for every single server. Or it's give me numbers like 5738297584949 ping....
Many other times it tells me theres say 55/64 players in a server, go in and....no-one.

Lazy greedy dumb fuckers EA

The worst part isn't that patches like this are somewhat worthless and full of huge bugs. The worst part is that all the good servers will upgrade to it anyway.

Nothing is going to change. Thats why I'm goin to laugh at all the tardfucks who buy BF2142 and wonder why less then 7 months after its release EA announces BF1918 and stops updating the game.

EA isn't at fault, it's the fucking idiots who buy their shitty product knowing full well EA has a history of fucking over the gamers and never accually fixing problems.
