Here is your patch!

BF2 Incremental Patch 1.22 - 1.3.exe (http://209.209.214.5/~gserver/BF2 Incremental Patch 1.22 - 1.3.exe)


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.

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

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.

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.

woot thx toby

[Biggs]

so we will always have a full server with the bots? i see scores through the roof

[LA_MERC_Diesel]

man what timing with the lan..now how far off is armored fury?
sounds sweet, this way at the LAN we can have some bots around if needed.

[LA_MERC_johncst]

very nice

[Crazy White Boy]

What LAN? Lags?

[LA_MERC_T4rg3T]

I will say that the most stupid thing about the patch is the vehicle drop. Now you don't have to arty troops and tanks, just drop a vehicle on them.

[LA_MERC_Wetzny]

Good fun last night, some of those noobs might have been bots.

[LA_MERC_Diesel]

What LAN? Lags?
nah, our private LAN coming up in a couple weeks.

[LA_MERC_Shadow]

I agree with toby, that dam vehicle drop sucks when they start dropping it on you to kill you.

[LA_MERC_YellowDog]

or the Truck dosent land square, flips over and blows up.

[LA_MERC_T4rg3T]

Not only can they drop it on you. They drop it on tanks, lavs, helo's, jets, arty, uav trailer, radar.... oh yeah, it will take out arty to. No need for spec ops anymore

[LA_MERC_th33_r00k]

oh yeah, it will take out arty to. No need for spec ops anymore

Is Arty hard to kill....when I hear Arty, I think of a 300lb. french frie eating frenchman......do you really need special forces to take him out?:stick :peek:

[LA_MERC_Diesel]

poor r00k is so out the loop.

Ah Chi, tried to take me out last night while I was in the AA...it didn't work...lol

[LA_MERC_sLingbLade]

poor r00k is so out the loop.

So true....I caught him in his basement sitting in the corner with a copy of Bf2 repeating my precious......my precious....poor guy.

[LA_MERC_Andyconda]

Lol, Hope you get BF2 soon rook, your missing tons of fun. I happen to like the look of a humvee parachuting in. Truth is Mike. In real life if a Humvee airdrops on top of you. You would die, LOL. Granted it sucks when a dune buggy air drops in on top of an M1A2 Abrams tank and blows it up, LOL. Neat thing is I was commander and dropped a humvee on to the carrier and had wheels to cut some donuts on th eflight deck. Also sang the Dukes of Hazard theme song as I drove it off teh flight deck, LOL.

Andy scares me sometimes when he shares with us the inside of his brain. :stick
