1.12 is ok if you reinstall the patch AFTER updating to SF...

That "someone" probably meant 1.02, not 1.2.

BF2 was released rushed and really buggy, so they released these patches:

1.01: Temporary fix for some of the bugs. Game is still incomplete at the time :slapass:
1.02: Temporary fix for some of the bugs. Game is still incomplete at the time :slapass:
1.03: Finished the game, fixed more than 100 bugs, and added the Wake island map
1.12: Was released to fix the issues with the newly released BF2:SF expation pack

It seems like there will be a patch 1.2 which will come some months from now.
The patch is mainly for restricting and improving some players and vehicles with the hope that it will balance the gameplay a bit.
Here are some of the stuff it will do:

- Helicopter now carry 8 missiles rather than 14
- TV-Guided missile now have a shorter range
- 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
- "Dolphin Diving" is no longer possible
- Players can no longer jump and shoot at the same time
- "Prone Spamming" is now fixed
- "Sprint exploit" is now fixed
- The Sa80 weapon has been improved
- The G3A3 weapon has been improved
- Reload while sprinting has been enabled
- Chinese and MEC APCs can now shoot through penetrable materials
- Damage decreased for the M134
- Medic defibrillator paddles have been adjusted. They now reload while not in use.

bf2>sf>1.12

That's what the 1.12 Readme says
If you install Patch 1.12 before isntalling BF2:SF, you'll need to install it again so it works properly with SF.
You dont need to reinstall if you did bf2>1.12>sf.
bf2>1.12>sf>1.12 works too.

Hopefully the next upate if it fixes crap changes the sniper weapons, totally useless even at close range, I've taken 4 shots to drop someone with the M95 less that 50m/yards whatever BF2 is gauged in...

What's all that?
And why can't u use the medic paddles as a weapon :p:

[charlie]

dolphin diving is when you push jump and z together, soldier leaps in a graceful arc, landing prone, ala dolphin!

prone spamming, not sure?

Sprint exploit?? not sure either?

Incorrect. BF2:SF ships as version 1.11. Therefore you have to patch again.

bf2>1.12>sf>1.12 works too.
Correct. This is what EA tells you to do.



prone-spamming is when a player appears to jump from prone, and remain in the prone position throughout the jump.

sprint exploit, is when you sprint for a small time (~0.5secs), and then jump, resulting in a longer jump - do this alot and you can move at sprint speed forever

prone-spamming is when a player appears to jump from prone, and remain in the prone position throughout the jump.


So this is like the issue that CSS had with hitboxes and the charater animations?

You look pron on the enemie's eyes, but you're really juming because the animations dont match the timming?

dolphin diving is when you push jump and z together, soldier leaps in a graceful arc, landing prone, ala dolphin!


Whats wrong with that?

I love doing that! That's like, you're running, and BAHM! TANK! and ur like omgz0rz! SPACE, Z!!

I dont see anything wrong with dolphin diving. :confused:

[OldOne]

Its cheap, annoying, and not good sportsmanship, play like a man and dont do that in BF2 ;)

not really, you see a prone player sort of levitating and falling stuck in the prone position - what it does is reduce the height of the hitbox to the size of a prone player, then add that to the fact that they are moving up and down and it becomes very hard to hit them.

Dolphin Diving has the same kind of effect as Prone-Spamming on the hitbox, but K R with you and thunks it looks cool (but should be limited to a one time thing) :shrug:


The sniper weapons suck - M95 has been renamed by the BF2 community as, "THE NOOB EJECTOR" and is only used by the "PRO" pilots to TK a player who beat them to the rush for the Jet =/

If you want to snipe, get the Spec-Ops G36 Unlock =D
