crapy clawn forums :: Still not playing BF2 -or- I made Agent pout eternally

DICE Producer, Barrie "Gabe" Tingle has been fielding questions in the EA UK forums about the upcoming Battlefield 2 v1.50 patch. Some informaton on how modding will affect the patch is also listed.

I see release dates for UK/Europe. What about NA?
North America will be Tuesday 1st September also but adjusted for time zone differences. So at around 9am Pacific.

Great news that the booster packs will be free. But why there won't be a full 1.5 patch, only incremental as you say 1.41 will be needed? First 540 MB 1.41 and then over 2 Gb 1.5. A full version would be a lot handier.
A full installer wasn't made to get Battlefield 2 v1.0 up to v1.50 due to a change in how updates were made between DICE Canada and DICE Sweden. We could have made one large update but it would have been almost the same size as the game install itself. To solve compatibility issues it was decided to have players update to version 1.41 (or have Battlefield 2 Complete Collection installed from EADM) before running Update v1.50.

if something go wrong. u gonna fix it? +is final working smoother then beta maybe? since years with his?
Yes and yes. buy brain then.

Baza, its up to the ranked server providers to update their servers, do you expect there will be a drop in available 1.41 servers before 1.50 will be made public? If so, for how long do you expect it to last?
Battlefield 2 v1.41 servers will run up to and including Tuesday when the update launches. You may see a drop in server numbers for a couple of hours before the client is released as they switch over server versions. I don't see a big drop, if any, before that time though.

Will the no DVD patch be delivered as an extra addon or will we never see this?dont you bored to play
It is part of Update 1.50. There is no extra patch or file needed. penisbag

Will the hitreg will be really improved or for that year not many time was spent regarding this issue ?
All I will say is that Hit reg has been improved. We have a lot more happening than Counter Strike* (64 players and vehicles for a start ) so it might not be pin point but its it better than it was.

Have you removed the notorious registration of the boosters to one account? Is it now just installing patch 1.5 and then play them?
Install the patch and any account that can play Battlefield 2 can play the Booster Pack maps. No need to link your BF2 soldier to EA.

Battlefield 2 v1.50 and Modding
Since Battlefield 2 v1.50 will come with the booster packs we have also updated our rules on mods.I have taken our existing rules from the old Battlefield.com page and updated to reflect the Euro Force and Armored Fury inclusion in the Update.

HEY GUSY. So judging by the phrasing, structure, and grammar of these questions, apparently our overmaster MooKeTte interviewed the "Gabe Newell of DICE" regarding the imminent release of patch 1.50 for BF2, in which shit gets slightly less fucked up by the evil Robber Baron EA. Comes out tomorrow. Debating whether or not i dare ask Mrs. Glimz to try to start a DL at home when it goes LO3 at noon tomorrow...meh, not worth THAT conversation.

So my joystick (yes, I use one for flying in this game) didnt work after installing the 1.5 patch. Did a little looking and seems that anyone that uses any kind of joystick or gamepad has the same issues all do to the inclusion of this new "Falcon" thing. Found one guy who gave a good workaround for it though: 1) Start BF2, reset controls to defaults, apply and quit. 2) Start BF2, remove all "Falcon" references from controls (using "esc" key), apply and quit. 3) Start BF2, assign all the controls for your joystick/etc, apply and quit. 4) Start BF2 and actually get to play with shit working. Yeah, fun.

Also just looked up this whole "Falcon" thing. It's basically a pistol grip that replaces your mouse for FPS's and has simulated recoil. Here's a video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0PS_vu-W ... r_embedded Jump to about 5:00 to skip the bastard explaining it and see it working. Looks like it's supposed to work for BF2, L4D, HL2, etc. And it'll run you roughly $175-200.

installed and played 1.5 patch for awhile tonight. It has my definate thumbs up. AA stationary spots and vehicles (linebacker) now noticably more effective, actually shot a few decent jet pilots out of the sky from each. Hit detectin definately better, and was really impressed with both of the new maps i played. I'm actually game for some BF2 again after this one!
