[CyrusPI]

why wasent this posted on the devs direys

p.s. i hate downloading patches have you considerd puting pr on steam
Welcome to Steam

Because as fuzzhead mentions, it's a super mini status update.

A formal news article will appear soon, as he mentions.

Sounds like fun. If not much has changed with .866, I should already have the installer from when AncientMan asked for stress testers that night. Staying up a few minutes later can get you some late night forum specials.

Amazing...


Noes, R-dev ninjad.

Sorry I miss read the posts. Didn't mean to offend the world and break the internetz Will I ever need to download the 1.5 patch? (for .9 or so). Thanks for the reply :/

[CodeRedFox]

LOL jesus christ, don't reply to his second post guys. Here you go amazing_retard all your questions are answered here.

Fastropes take 5 GB, so it's up to the community to decide what they want...

8 GB and a AC-130 you can paradrop out of and you have yourself a deal

[Canofwhoop]

this is goin to be great!

I guess its up to EA to release the public patch 1.5...

[Snazz]

8 GB and a AC-130 you can paradrop out of and you have yourself a deal

Don't forget a subscription service for dual wielded mini guns with heat seeking ultra-high explosive rounds.

Those who buy a year of subscriptions also receive jetpacks.

Have you fixed the M1 Abrams armor/model?

[Scar]

i hope they do fix the armor of the tanks

[fuzzhead]

Have you fixed the M1 Abrams armor/model?

Can you be more specific?

[Cpl.Small]

I'm gueesing he means the 1 hit kill bug on Kashan

[HughJass]

i got a big line,
no probs, icanhazfastropez nau?

he meant RAM

[TheLean]

for me the same...while loading the 2-3 map (after starting gaming) and also some random CTDs

This is due to battlefield not being able to use more than 2gb of ram and it should be changed in the new 1.5 patch. However, there is a fix that you can download already to solve this problem (worked for me). I cant remember the adress but im sure someone else does or you can just search the support forums.

[Demonic]

So this is just a patch released bug fixes, game-play updates? Possible new maps?
Although that is incredibly great and can't wait to get my hands on it and see the changes. Hopefully will prevent squad bugs, server/player crashes. I got my hopes up and was hoping the Canadian Forces faction was released earlier than expected.

[fuzzhead]

No new maps/factions.

Mainly just bug fixes and some gameplay tweaks (some information has already been releases in dev journals/blogs)

Why? WHY?????

[nedlands1]

Why? WHY?????

Weight probably.

I imagine 7 full 20 round magazines of 7.62x51mm NATO ammunition is closer in weight to 9 full 30 round magazines of 5.56x45mm NATO ammunition.

[sakils2]

But.... what happened to gameplay?

I thought PR was about gameplay>reality.

[Smegburt_funkledink]

PR - It's in the name.

[thebeanie]

Soo... Whens the expected release date?

[[MPN]Slouch2]

- tweaked 1p M203 reload.
- tweaked 1p M4/M16 reload.

What does the '1p' mean?
