Here it is for those that cant goto ea's site from work:


<font size="3"><b>Community Update - 1/18/06</font></b>


Listen up Soldiers!

By now, you have all seen the <a href="http://www.lamerc.com/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=15099">list of fixes</a> in the next update (1.2). We are still trying to nail down a few final items and put the final touches in place.

Here's a list of additional items to look for in version 1.2:<ul>

<li>UAVs are now visible in the world so if you are being scanned, you can know about it and take action against it.
<li>Rank progression is no longer limited to the enlisted ranks. All officer ranks are now available.
<li>Bug that allowed players in vehicles to contest a flag from outside the flag radius is now fixed.</ul>

I’d also like to take this opportunity to clarify some confusion stemming from our updates.

The first item is on the topic of grenades. Players will still be able to toss grenades while jumping. Although the ability to fire while jumping has been removed, players will still be able to initiate a grenade toss prior to jumping and follow through with the toss, thereby gaining themselves some extra distance. We understand that there will be some adjustment in tactics required when the patch comes out but we are confident that the community will quickly come to grips with the new tactics.

The second item is on the topic of the booster packs. We have not created the maps as a separate expansion pack requiring a separate server. The booster packs will increase the content of the base game and thereby may be run on a server in regular rotation with the original maps.

Hope that clears up some of questions you’ve all been asking.

I like the change on the jump/shoot thing. Thats getting a bit out of hand. I can't remember if they were changing the 50 yard C4 toss or not. The 4 wheeler is my new favorite C4 carrier. It's like a nuke on a skate board.

Lol, shooting down UAV's. That's cool. They still need to fix the ****ing C4. You can not toss C4 like a frisbee and set it off.
