Battlefield 2 1.3 Patch

Patch

NEW FEATURES

* Air dropped vehicles: Squad members can now send a request up the chain of command for a vehicle to be dropped at their location.

* Co-op: Co-op Mode allows you to play Single Player levels on the Internet and LAN with both AI controlled bots and human players. Several new options have been created that will allow the server creator to modify how the bots behave in game.

o Number of Bots: This setting allows you to determine the total number of bots that will spawn in game.

o Bot Ratio: This setting allows you to determine the percentage of total bots that will spawn for each team. For example, setting this value to 25 means that 25% of the total bots will spawn in Team 1, and 75% in Team 2. Team 1 is always the MEC, Chinese, or their allies, while Team 2 is always the USA, EU, and their allies.

o Bot Difficulty: This setting determines the skill level of the bots. 10 is easiest, 100 is the most difficult.

* Default Kit Selection: The kit that you used last is remembered at the beginning of the round and between maps.

:thumbsup: Glad to see DICE is still involved and not EA. I also hope this fixes my rank issue. I earned my basic knife after 50 kills. 🙁
 
The real question is will bots be allowed on ranked servers and can you use them to show a server is filled like CS and automatically kick them as players join to keep your server maxxed. I hope not, the BF2 server join feature is dificult enough to navigate as it is. It they added the auto-join when spot open feature like CS has then I think it could really help boost the number of people that play during the day.
 
Co-op is much needed. I had my friend buy it to play with me only to learn we could not play with just bots. He has never opened the box and bought it release week. Now we can team up for some bot action.

lol, how many patches and expansions have come out and they still haven't fixed this? man, that was a bug from release.

* Fixed a client crash after entering 300 characters into the IP address using "connect to IP."

wtf? what kind of IP addresses are they using? why do you need more than 21 characters in an ip address? 21 is including the port number, the . and the :
 
dammit those morons screwed up the in-game browser again!

They took out the "refresh" button and all that is left for me is the "update server list"

Also, when I click on a server, it used to refresh that server. Well, now what happens is when I click on a server, the name changes to a DIFFERENT server and I lost the one I originally wanted to join.

None of my favorites have updated yet and I was trying to find a temp server to play on until they do.

Been playing this game since it came out and every patch they fix something but break something that originally worked.

It looks like if you sort your list by ping, when you click on a server it gets a new ping value for that server, and re-sorts the list. And instead of keeping you on the server you picked, it keeps you at the same position on the list (which now is a totally different server).
 
My game randomly crashed at Karkland a few minutes ago, no error was shown. First BF2 crash ever. Unfortunate too, I was a squad leader and we were rackin' up the points. 🙁
 
I played with it for a couple hours last night and it's pretty good. My server browser works fine but none of the standard East coast EA servers were online, no big deal.

The buggy drop is very nice. If the commander is on the ball it can really help out a team with only one cap point. This is nice because the buggy drop doesn't really help a dominating team, yet it's a life saver for a team up against a wall. The map zoom fix and weapon pref. fix is also great.

I still didn't rank. I have 35,000 points but I'm stuck at Master Sergeant becuase I earn vet. knife before earning novice knife. It's such a simple fix but they didn't fix it. 🙁

Yes, that is the problem that I am experiencing and I HATE it! The browser was bad before but good enough to get me by. Now it is irritating to even try to use it.

While it was not entirely a bad idea to fix the spawn on squad leader issue, it seems like now I can never spawn on the squad leader no matter what I try.
