Re: BF2 Patch around the corner - might there be hope for 2142? ;)

**Deterhek** · 08-27-2009, 10:34 PM

Hmm, what exactly was wrong with the BF2 recent patch? I bought BF2 a while back (about a month), the whole complete package (Base, SF, ArmoredFury, and EuroForces), and loaded it up but I couldnt stay on any server for more than a few minutes because of some dang "error loading pbcl" thing.

**Lyramion** · 08-27-2009, 10:36 PM

pbcl prolly punkbuster client? update your punkbuster manually?

**Deterhek** · 08-28-2009, 01:04 AM

Yeah I was thinking about that, as EA says they can't help me there lol.

I'd not be upset if they released NS free even though I have purchased it. The way I see it I got a few months of exclusive access to it and will have more opponents going into the future. The only time I got miffed about an expansion going free was when I upgraded my City of Heroes account to include City of Villains and 6 days later they made CoV free for all CoH players.

**Lyramion** · 08-28-2009, 06:33 AM

If they releases NS for free it would be freaking awesome. I mean it´s like 3 free maps for the main server that everyone can actually play

**Greyed** · 08-28-2009, 06:55 AM

Well, almost everyone.

*eyes Mac players and makes a tsk, tsk sound*

You might find BF2 1.50 is a lot better than the old BF2, especially if you are used to BF2142 now. We have shared a lot of changes between BF2 and BF2142 to improve both games and balance them more evenly.

Don't rule anything out for BF2142 though.

Thank you Lorax

I was wondering if they will do anything about the walker tipping over when it's under 20% or if they actually prefer to keep annoying players by keeping it that way.

**Superfast** · 08-28-2009, 08:41 AM

If they're gonna fix anything in BF2142, let it be the server stability!

Actually it´s 15 Health and it´s an intended mechanic. Walkers have lots of armor to compensate. A fix should rather include you being unable to repair tripped walkers.

If you repair a walker to 100% should that not mean it walks again?

After all, the repair IS 100%.

**Lyramion** · 08-28-2009, 09:19 AM

Walker is considered "dead" if it hits 15%. The real glitch is it not taking damage when on the side and people able to repair it up

**INSUNABULA** · 08-28-2009, 09:54 AM

Then why bother having the last 15% ?

I'm trying to approach this by asking "What are they trying to achieve by having this game function?"

Indeed if the walker's health dips below 16% should the indicator-bar not flash or turn red?

The whole thing smells of "incomplete" to me.
