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
Hooray. No more stinger t/k punish

Yeah, instead they'll probably bring back the good old "your name came up in the other team's colours!" bug :P

Incase you havn't stumbled across it yet... Take it on face value I guess... EA have niether confired or denied this list as far as I know.

If the player joins a squad while dead, the player will not be able to use the squad leader as a spawn point until they have respawned once.
If that annoys you as much as it does me... sign here!

honestly... I *like* being able to drop leader status and rejoin on the newly promoted squad leader. BUT - I think the above change puts a much greater emphasis on the team aspect they were going for with the game - ie: take a damned medic to backup your squad leader.
and if you *really* need to be back there, it isnt hard to make a teammate drive over you or something after you've respawned the first time.

so wheres the patch?
Post 9
not out yet, they havent even set a release date :/

With the changing of the way squads go, it really depends on how you play, I personally love the fast action of a rotating squad and it keeps you and the enemy in action most of the time, but i would find it frustrating if you spend 30 min trying to get to the carrier to blow all there buildings and then one of you survive but you can't spawn with your team again because you were Squad leader, for large squads of 6 that stick together this might not be much of a problem but since i mainly only end up in squads of 2 or 3 this can be very anoying, but again it depends on how you like to play.
sign it anyway if it aint goin to affect you :P cause it means your supporting pleebs like me to keep in the action :D

Medic's killing teammates and then reviving them, engineers damaging team equipment and then repairing it...though i thought that stuff had been stopped in the 1.1 release.

looks like *again* the petition's going to achieve jack all... http://www.ea.com/official/battlefield/battlefield2/us/editorial.jsp?src=communityupdate_050906
occasionally it would be nice if EA/Dice listened to the community (still waiting for option to global unlock weapons in SP)
Post 15
guess you will have to LtP. That whole mechanic is what is wrong with BF2 squads. EA are slowly bringing BF2 back to a strategic game instead of what it is atm where it is just a matter of finding the current exploit.
Post 16
feels like they aren't listening at ALL to the community and doing there own thing!
When the mods come out I will most likely playing them unless they fix the 100 and 1 bugs still existing when they make these so called patches that fix things , but ending making it worse, fixes it or makes new ones in its wake!
Shame DICE had to sign up with them almost makes not want to buy 2142 and I have been a big supporter of the BF series since its inception as a mere beta.
I hope they get there act together, but with these last patches it will take them a while before BF2 can be a little bit more playable again for me (like BF1942 days)

Haha dude, its EA.
If you want a games company that listens to its player-base, start playing Blizzard games.
If you cry enough, Blizzard changes teh game :p

/me drags all the bf2 1.3 beta testers out the back and shoots them...
Bug #1 - Server browser is borked.
watch this space.
Post 21
Yes I have noticed quite a few bugs, so far the most anoying is crashing to desktop after you hit join after you connect to a server.
Ugh, Im really starting to hate the way the squad based game play is now, Makes it very hard to keep squads together when they are the size of 2 or 3.... wouldn't be so bad if you get 6 people in a squad you know and they stick together but that rarly happens online...
-Rip
Post 22
haven't noticed any bugs yet, still pretty good for me. The squad thing doesn't bother me.
Post 23
bah.. no adsl for a few days at least.. cant test out new patch :(
Post 24
no problems at all, no disconnecting, no problem keeping a squad together or playing as a team.
Maybe you all just suck. :p
Delta Squad FTW!
Post 25
I was in Alpha squad most of last night, and won best squad three times in a row :D I had no real problems with the new patch last night, but i did see a few bugs still around, that the patch claimed to fix... bs EA you cant fix sh1t
Alpha Squad seriously FTW !!! ;)
Post 26
I am not having any issues either, seems all good until you get a jeep land on you head :D
Post 27
Thats cause ur a sniping whore and you deserve it hawky ;)
Post 28
is kelly running over people again :p
Post 29
Yes well, Kinda frustrating when ur in a chopper hovering capturing the flag and a car lands on ur bloddy blades.. :\
My only problem with the way the squads are setup now, is it makes it hard when there are only a few people sticking together. Last night when I was in a full squad of 6 with everyone staying together like in TN1s squad it is fine, but its very rare i see squads sticking together when people don't know each other or are in diffrent clans.

My game crashes often just after it finishes loading a map now :/.
Ohh well got banned from internode servers cause of ****s that run up and take a plane while i have been waiting a few min for it to spawn forcing me to shoot them :(
Post 32
yep, team killing will get you banned especially if you meant it. There's no excuse for it, half the time you don't know how long someones been waiting, and the people waiting are usually plane hogs who have had the plane for the last 3 maps in a row.
Post 33
At least they're trying to resolve the crash in the server browser:

thankfully managed to miss that bug :)
Post 34
Had it once trying to connect to a gamearena server.
Post 35
It seems each patch EA brings out creates more problems than it solves. I am having PB issues now that I never had before and have also had the boot to desktop at join bug a few times.
Bring on quake wars I say!
