Might Climb Over Zero Now
More gaming news: Looks like the 1.03 patch for Battlefield 2 will be arriving any day now. Then again, that’s what Amazon.com said about Ender’s copy of Battlefield 2. After scanning the list of changes, I found a few worth mentioning:
Vehicle tweaks - No more accidental kills from bumping a friend with your tank (try to avoid hitting him at speed though) and no more struggling uphill in an APC. Also no more improper TK allocation from vehicle explosions.
Wow, maybe Ender can get some positive teamwork scores now. Could it now be safe for Velius to “get that tank”???
Server Favorites and History - find your favorite servers that much easier. No more searching for them through the main server list!
Nice, no more scrolling through a never-ending list trying to figure out if that server you liked began with a ” * ” or a ” *”.
Anti-Air Missiles - These are now much more effective against fast-movers.
Now that they mention it, I don’t think I’ve ever been able to shoot down a jet with an AA gun. Choppers, however, are another story. I’ve even taken out a whole helicoptor crew with just the Support machinegun before, mwahahahaha.
All in all, these changes sound great. The new map they want to add seems to be one that we played a lot in BF1942. So far, several of us have the full retail version of the game, and I look forward to playing some new maps with my friends (as much fun as Gulf of Oman is). There was no mention of making the People’s Liberation Army not suck, but Velius continues to stick by them (and their absolutely horrible guns) because he has nationalistic pride.
On another patching note, the new tweaks to the Guild Wars display are totally awesome. Suddenly interrupting is fun again!

My copy of Battlefield finally arrived! Not to fear, I can still teamkill Velius if I speed up enough.

K, the PLA doesn’t suck (except for the AT guy’s gun). I clean up as a PLA medic all the time. Now I know you wish there were more Asian stores around the ‘Burg, but don’t think the whole world is conspiring against you because of it. :-p
PS. When do I get to hear Bunky’s snide background comm..err..meet up with you for some BF2 fun?
