    Leaked 1.03 patch info?

    I wonder if it's true?


    BF2 patch 1.03
    Alpha - 2 Sept
    · Beta - 19 Sept
    · Final - 23 Sept
    · CQC/ECG Sub - 28 Sept
    · Release - 3 Oct

    Wake Island· In a surprise move, forces of the People's Liberation Army have attacked and captured Wake Island in a bid to threaten US lines of supply. USMC forces have been short-stopped from their deployment in Manchuria to respond to this new threat. The airbase on Wake Island is the lynchpin of the Chinese air threat, however it is highly susceptible to ground attack from either the northern

    Compare Feature· By clicking the COMPARE button in BFHQ, you can search for another players name and load their current stats into BFHQ. Using the arrow buttons next to the name in the top-left corner of the menu, you can toggle between your stats and their stats. You can also load a player's stats by double-clicking on their name in any leaderboard.

    Favorites/History· There is a new tab in the MULTIPLAYER menu that holds a list of the last 20 internet servers you have connected to, plus a list of servers you have selected as favorites.

    BF2 Account Tag · You can add a 6-character prefix to your account nickname which will be displayed in-game next to your nametag in the scoresheet, in game messages, and above your player. This prefix does not change your account name or statistic information (e.g. the prefix does not appear next to your name on the leaderboards). You can change this prefix at any time at the account login menu.

    Server Reserved Slots· Server admins can define a list of player BF2 account names which will reserve VIP slots on the server.

    Engineer/Helicopter· Modified the rate at which engineer can repair a helicopter while sitting in the helicopter. It now takes longer for the engineer to repair the helicopter.

    Vehicle/Control Point Capture· Only one person in a vehicle counts towards a control point capture. If passengers want to increase the rate of the flag change, they must disembark from the vehicle.

    Vehicle/Soldier interaction· Improved physics of vehicles against soldiers so that soldiers are not as easily killed by moving vehicles. Bring on the wing-walkers!

    Auto Balance· Auto team balance no longer moves the commander or squad leaders to the other team.

    Point Farming· Limits placed on ability to point farm.

    Rank/Awards· Criteria for gaining ranks and awards has been changed.

    Supply Drop· The commander's supply drop now has an icon on the minimap and a 3D-map icon in the world.

    If so, we have to wait another month . IVCs will be a thing of the past. BHs nerfed. New map.

    Not bad, but no mention of IFF bug or AA improvements. But this is a small list of the supposed 100's of bug-fixes coming.

    Re: Leaked 1.03 patch info?

    well I'm happy to wait another month if they get all of those implemented (+ the heli-box and IFF bug too hopefully).

    Reserved VIP slots, not moving SL or CO to other team... maybe they should have hired Poker from the start


    I also agree that the BH repair rate, and vehicles only counting as 1 person towards a flag capture unless the rest disembark are very good changes to make. But it maybe does seem a little too good to be true

    The Server Reserved Slots, Engineer/Helicopter, Vehicle Capture and Autobalance fix would all be welcome improvements. I hope it's true.

    I agree with Wulfyn. It's too bad EA had to learn from Poker with some of it, they should have had it in place from the beginning.

    Re: Leaked 1.03 patch info?

    Thank god for the vehicle/soldier interaction fix too. I think I killed 8 or 9 squad members last nite alone by tapping the forward key when they were 5 feet away.

    I hope that's not an exhaustive list of the updates...

    I think it's a hoax. The list is too good; I think someone is trying to force EA to implement changes by creating popular demand.

    I'm a cynic though.

    I hope it is true but it does sound too good. I want to see the new map.

    I'm going to go out on a limb and say it's legitimate.

    But October? Brutal. They must have given the EA crowd a lot of vacation time after BF2's release.

    I wish they had done a few more fixes. How about a sound effect when you pick up a MedPack? What about improving the accuracy of your assault rifles to, say, the level of the WW2-era machineguns in BF1942?

    Re: Leaked 1.03 patch info?

    I've seen two other "leaked" lists today with similar items, but some significant differences. I'm now convinced they are all hoaxes based on listing a few fixes we know will be included (Blackhack) and a few we would like to be (vehicle cap).

    This one I believe to be fabricated. It is full of spelling and grammatical errors and the language is unlike anything I have seen DICE put out in the past.

    I hope the first one is the real deal. It will certainly provide a little more backing for us when we've frowned upon things like vertical capping and the seakhawk issues. I know some people have maintained those tactics were perfectly legit. If the first patch document is right, it will prove that DICE also thinks these tactics were a bit cheesy and not intended to be exploited in the way that they have been in the past.

    Diplomacy is the art of saying "good doggie" while looking for a bigger stick.

    If any list is accurate, the EA guys sure aren't confirming it. http://forum.eagames.co.uk/viewtopic...r=asc&start=60

    A good start for me would be fixing the bugs.. IFF, hit box, allow name changes (yes, that's a bug IMHO). The gameplay changes, eh, I'll worry about those when I've played a finished game.

    The supply drop thing would be nice though. I can never find one when I need it.

    Re: Leaked 1.03 patch info?

    Good changes but seriously making those balancing changes would take an experienced developer about an hour. Granted fixing some of the bugs that are still in the game (especially some of the more esoteric ones related to certain graphic cards) takes longer but I just can't understand why they have not released a patch that focuses on balancing and stat padding yet.
