Please note, this thread was not created for whining around, but to discuss real bugs and other annoying things.

After one day of playing with this brand new masterpiece of a patch, I discovered several bugs, here they are so far:

Red-Nametag-Bug is worse than it was before the patch.
I shoot at red team mates earning several teamkills in nearly every round now.

The serverbrowser is even more screwed up. It is impossible to do searches by mapname, only an empty list will show up.

A red distance marker pointing straight to hell is located UNDER every map.

The animations of the weapons while jumping/standing up are simply cheap.
Cheap because they are the same as while sprinting and this just isn't appropriate.

Random crashes back to the desktop after loading a map.
Not very often, but it never happened to me with earlier versions.

And now, the greatest masterwork of them all: Start Special Forces. Get in a Jeep with a mounted TOW-rocket-launcher.
Press F2. Click the left mouse button…. No, better don't do it.
Instead of firing a rocket, you will instantly crash the server.
Yes, the whole server, not just your client.

Another state of the art quality patch from DICE.

HAHA! Thats actually kinda funny. The tower shooting AA's wow!

JonFrey · 02-16-2006, 01:49 PM

they DID say that AA would be more powerful. Very cool that they thought to put random AA at high parts in the map to help us knock those pesky jets out of the sky....

Deinos · 02-17-2006, 04:36 AM

I haven't played Zatar yet, so I don't quite understand what is happening in the video. Is the oil rig AA just randomly shooting AA missles or was the ground AA guy somehow controlling it?

Random Ping · 02-17-2006, 06:36 AM

What's happening in the video is that the player shot two aa missiles at the tower. The missles picked up the heat signiture, but since the tower is unexplodable the missles just hung there until a aircraft target passed and the missles then diverted themselves to the aircraft. Targeting from a plane in Zatar is bad enough, but now this, it makes me want to give up my wings and leave flying for those noobs who kill me for the planes anyway.

mrhahn · 02-17-2006, 11:51 AM

Yep, it's as Random Ping says. It means you can have 2 missiles "stored" on the Oil Tower, aswell as the usual 2 in your AA = 4 missiles to take a plane down with.

BloodFlood · 02-17-2006, 07:36 PM

Well at least its one way to deal with cheaters when you cant get vote kick to work out.

Rambo_Medic · 02-17-2006, 09:23 PM

OMG, shut up for once!!!!

People who are good enough to break even in BF2 arent all cheaters! You are such a broken record! Just drop it...
