Copy'd from Shacknews. The reason I want mention this it that prehaps MG's will finaly... FINALY be useful. The main reason I hated battlefield was the main anti-infantry weapon was the most inaccurate. I would regulary grab the top guns of the various transport craft just because they were 10x more accurate than anything you could carry(Minus the 100% accurate sniper rifles). That and finaly the aircraft are getting the nerf they need.The UK Electronic Arts forums have a post by Battlefield 2 producer Armando "Aj" Marini, outlining some of the changes being worked into the next Battlefield 2 patch. Some of the upcoming changes include
- Helicopter now carry 8 missiles rather than 14
- Hit points on all air vehicles has been reduced
- AA missile lock has been improved
- Support kits have had their primary weapons adjusted for accuracy
- Sniper kits have had their primary weapons adjusted for accuracy
- Anti-Tank kits have had their primary weapons adjusted for accuracy
- Players can no longer jump and shoot at the same time
- "Prone Spamming" is now fixed
- "Sprint exploit" is now fixed
- Reload while sprinting has been enabled
- Chinese and MEC APCs can now shoot through penetrable materials
- Medic defibrillator paddles have been adjusted. They now reload while not in use.
Thanks Sgt_Boomstick.
Seriously in a game were the only two forms of AA were coxial MG's and top .50cals on the various light vech's and of course the notriously bad AA missles planes flown by a good pilot were godlike except aginst other aircraft.
How hard was it to give us Gun AA? Gun AA that does not need to lock? Considering the fact that Desert Combat for BF-1942 was much better than anything in BF2 (Which for those of you who remeber the Desert Combat team was hired to make the console game then fired right after.)
Look at the best damn WWII mod out there, Forgotten Hope, every tank from the Panzer II to the Sherman Firefly. Every plane from The first jet bombers like the 234 Arado to the various versions of the Mustang and the Hurricane to the big bombers like the B-17 and the B-26. Every single infantry weapon you could imagine and twenty plus maps to play on.
It is light years ahead of the basic Battlefield 1942 Game.
Same thing with the Vietnam mods for Battlefield 1942 were better than the acutal Battlefield Vietnam game. Same thing with Desert Combat. The only thing that DICE seems to be able to do is Engine work. They can produce a quality engine but not a quality game.
