Battlefield 2 Patch Plans

[Apr 25, 2006, 12:37 pm ET] - Share - Viewing Comments

A new Battlefield 2 Community Update (thanks Frans) has plans for the upcoming version 1.3 patch for the military shooter:

Although the 1.3 patch is still being worked on we wanted to provide a peek at what you can expect with the coming release:

NEW FEATURES

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

BUG FIXES & GAME PLAY TWEAKS

    • Prevented ban list from being cleared in the event of a server crash.
    • Fixed issue with players not properly ranking up on servers where they continuously play.
    • Fixed bug where friendly vehicles show up as valid targets.
    • Friendly Vehicle lock: Lock-on weapons do not lock on to friendly vehicles. The box with an X through it will still appear, but a lock tone will not sound and then if fired, the missile will not track the friendly target.

Keep in mind this is only a part of what 1.3 will include. Our live team is working diligently to provide the best update possible in preparation for the release of the Armored Fury booster pack!

i'm baffled to hear that people play (or want to play) this game in sp mode. there are a LOT of comments here supporting that. sounds not fun to me, but hey, whatever you dig, that's cool. i have seen the red/blue tag, and once i mowed a teammate because of it, which has prompted me to simply shoot at enemy uniforms. i don't care if they ever fix it. mabey snipers shooting from 42 miles away have a problem with this, but CQB infantrymen, i don't think it's a problem. i don't know what to think of the vehicle drop. those of us who play city maps only may find it punishing, but i bet the guys playing the big ass open maps find it useful. i only play city maps, so i PRAY they don't let tanks get dropped. -Inno
