BattleField 2

[Sir Million Knives]

Apparently you can after the patch. ;o

 

Haven't had a game in a long time...

 

/me starts BF2.

[ViceDog]

Yes, apperantly you can change your nick with the new patch which is due for release.

 

 

Fun

Well, not your nick, but the clan tag on it.

[Waddy]

And all these!

 

 

 

 

 

Stats compare - view the extended stats details for any other player in your BFHQ simply by double-clicking on their name on the leader board or using the new search feature!

Server Favorites and History - find your favorite servers that much easier. No more searching for them through the main server list!

Nickname Prefix - Add and change your clan tag to your account name at will. No more creating alternate account names to cover the changes in your competitive lifestyle!

Supply Drop Icons - Supply drops now appear on the main map and within the 3D Map. Find that elusive supply drop much, much quicker!

Points for Destroying Command Objects - players now receive points for destroying the commander's toys. Special Forces players rejoice!

Server Reserved Slots - Server Operators can now set aside slots for their admins to join a full server at any time!

Vehicle Passengers - the names of players in a vehicle with you are now displayed when you enter or change seats.

Countermeasures - a reload bar has been added for vehicle countermeasures. You'll always know now when you can set off that next flare!

Tweaks

Point Farming changes - DICE has implemented functionality that makes it significantly harder to point farm on Ranked Servers.

Mod Support - Mods now work properly with the Dedicated Server! Additionally, the game will automatically switch mods when joining a server that is running a mod you have installed but do not have activated.

Map tweaks - Spawn menu map and Commander maps now scale based on the size of the level being played (16, 32 or 64 players). Mini-map also scales automatically based on the vehicle type you are using (manual changes to zoom levels are remembered as well).

Commander scoring - No more TKs from Artillery!

Vehicle tweaks - No more accidental kills from bumping a friend with your tank (try to avoid hitting him at speed though) and no more struggling uphill in an APC. Also no more improper TK allocation from vehicle explosions.

Auto Team Balance tweaks - Commanders and Squad Leaders now immune to team switch.

Anti-Air Missiles - These are now much more effective against fast-movers.

Sorry I wasn't on last night when I said I would be, I was too tired.

 

Can’t wait to play on the new map.

 

MMMS your avatar is f*cking amazing.

 

[Daz]

Im not so down with that tag. If i wanted my name looking like cack i would have used a billion random symbols.

Has a ring to it.

[Mafia Righthand_Man]

Indeed MMMS, that was some awesome pwnage. All of you guys make good squad mates.

I'm digging the new name tags for checkpoints on the maps in the new patch.

 

 

Oh, are we all adding a clan type prefix when it comes out? Suggestions on a postcard. [GTAF] perhaps?

I'm really glad they put in the names for the CP's also. It got annoying trying to say there is an enemy at the base in the middle to the east and everyone is too lazy to look at the map and find out which one that is. Hopefully in the next patch they might also add the enemy's location with the enemy spotted message. For example, it could say "Enemy Infantry Spotted (Hotel Control Point)" as long as they are within a certain radius of a control point. I think I'll send them a suggestion about that.

 

[GTAF] sounds good.

Stop being a miserable sod Dazza.

 

Sad to see EA's site back up and online without the patch appearing.

[RMT]

[GTAF] is fine. There isn't really any other option is there?

 

The patch better be out tonight as well. If not IGN are going to 'ave it. Oh yes they will.

 

 

RMT shakes stick

Yes that is often a bugger.

 

I think the names should all have a number and under the minimap where the load of little blue and red rectangles representing the contol points should each have a number, so when you see, eg 3 turn to grey you know which flag that is. And its VERY annoying when you are commander and you spot a load of infantry for people and they dont even look on the map to check if the guys are at their position. Pisses me right off as that is a real handy trick.

[Dup]

I got killed at least 10 times one round by TKing artillery. f*cking douche.

 

Im gonna be playing CSS till they fix this game. So the patch better be out tonight!

[Waddy]

Thanks Data, 15mins to go so it says!

 

Exciting stuff, I get an unlock

[Dup]

Its times like these I wish I had more than half meg BB. Dammit.

[RMT]

All you lot on your massive f*cking connections. Makes me sick.

 

I hope you all die. Thanks.

 

(only another 2 hours to go)

[MyMothersMySister]

Don't hate the players Rob. Hate the game.

 

Does anyone else get that message from EA when logging in only to be told that too many peeps are accessing the page so it's offline? Gutted.

 

I've heard you do get an unlock for each rank you go up as well. The ranks have been lowered as well so maybe you might get a couple if your are lucky. Personally I think this is a better idea as it will stop people whoring and exploiting to get unlocks. Maybe now people will be more team orientated and make more squads etc.

[MissileDefender]

Youd almost get suspiscious EA is doing this just to f*ck us off

 

Only problem is, its gonna be a couple of days before the good servers actually Update!
