Qarth Posted September 9, 2005 Author Share Posted September 9, 2005 I think it will be nice. Me getting 350 points flag hopping needs to stop :( Either way. The bug fices aren't even listed, I hope they optimize it more for slower computers. Can't wait!

Samurai-HQ Posted September 9, 2005 Share Posted September 9, 2005 I think they need to increase points for medics too. Nothing worse than going under heavy fire to revive someone to either die trying or they respawn. Maybe an extra point for revivals and health packs :) Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/369755-bf2-103-details-leaked/#findComment-586498864 Share on other sites More sharing options...

GrimReeper Posted September 9, 2005 Share Posted September 9, 2005 Yeah, I hate when I'm trying to repair a vehicle and the slightest bump kills me, or I am medic in a vehicle and engineers come to fix me up and I accidently kill them with the slightest of bugs and they punish me.

LOC Veteran Posted September 9, 2005 Veteran Share Posted September 9, 2005 And where is the supposed TK fixes? Several of my friends stopped playing BF2 completely because of the TK crap. :| Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/369755-bf2-103-details-leaked/#findComment-586500153 Share on other sites More sharing options...
|Rapture| Posted September 9, 2005 Share Posted September 9, 2005 So do the people at this site know what they are talking about? Never read anything about BF2, I just play it from time to time. I'm asking because the Wake Island thing seems really fake.. Love to be proven wrong though.

mattmatik Posted September 9, 2005 Share Posted September 9, 2005 Ahhh, favorites/history for servers. Finally. And I think DICE/EA have the right idea about the tagnames. With all of the bitching going on, they found a way to include it without compromising the banned accounts. Very cool. What were the supposed TK fixes?

LOC Veteran Posted September 9, 2005 Veteran Share Posted September 9, 2005 You know, where your in a Chopper or APC and you got a full boat with you, but you take a hit from another vehicle and explode and die, and you wind up killing everyone in the APC/Chopper with you and get like -12 point TK damage etc. Or the "but he was red!" even though he's on your team and blue bug.

SinsOfCube Posted September 9, 2005 Share Posted September 9, 2005 This is also posted on Battlefield2.nl with some more details, it also says the following about teamkills Teamkills worden op een nieuwe manier geregistreerd en afgehandeld. Zo wordt het onmogelijk om teamkills te krijgen voor bijvoorbeeld het neerhalen van de Black Hawk helicopter die dan prompt op een groep teammates neerstort. Translation: Teamkills will be recored in a new way. For instance, you will no longer get teamkills if you take down a blackhawk and it crashes on your teammates.

Yagi Posted September 9, 2005 Share Posted September 9, 2005 You know, with logitech having that new gaming keyboard with the lcd comming out real soon, I'm surprised Battlefield 2 isn't jumping on the oppurtunity to be the first game to use the LCD. Especially with this new patch release comming out around the same time.

Marduk Posted September 9, 2005 Share Posted September 9, 2005 The change in the gaining rank thing might be bad or good, hard to say, thats pretty broad and all. Also do we WANT Wing Walkers??? Sounds like a retarded idea to me. Oct 3rd ISN'T summer as they promised, ah well EA sucks whats new. New map should be interesting.

|Rapture| Posted September 9, 2005 Share Posted September 9, 2005 I'd like to see a tank with guys sitting on top to get around quickly, its done in conventional wars so why not in BF2?

xpgeek Posted September 9, 2005 Share Posted September 9, 2005 Good list of changes so far. Thank god for Blackhawk flag jumping fix finally. Its pretty funny when I'm on US team and I'll admit yea I get in one when I can, but, when I'm not on the US team, soooooo unfair.

bigl523 Posted September 9, 2005 Share Posted September 9, 2005 blackhawks are great big point targets, if u can take one of those bad larry's down you usually will get +12 points for killing all 6 of those yuppies. plenty of times where i shoot at them with my upgraded medic gun as its smoking and it blows up giving me the kills :) Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/369755-bf2-103-details-leaked/#findComment-586501613 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nothing worse than going under heavy fire to revive someone to either die trying or they respawn. Maybe an extra point for revivals and health packs :) 586498864[/snapback] ARGH! You're one of them! I apologize to all medic here, but I hate medics. Everytime I don't want to live, in the middle of heavy fire, you guys revive me, but when I need to live again, you are never there! Sometimes there are too many medics, sometimes just to get huge points and do nothing to help. One time my buddy got killed six times because a medic kept reviving him, in the middle of heavy fire. The one thing I wanted changed is increased bonuses for actually killing the enemy and less points for healing, making the game more focused on killing the enemy instead of reviving your buddies, who don't have enough help because medics are too busy being oppurtunistic point-######.
