I'm pretty sure they'll include wide-screen support in the final version, as they did it with 2042 and that is based on the BF2 engine.

Hmmm, wonder if that means they fixed the pilot hit boxes in choppers so they are as snipeable as the tank-gunners.

This is great news. Hopefully this will soon replace the PR advertisement on the BF2 server. Maybe some of the little kids and smacktards will download it and not be able to play PR anymore.

The CTD hack fix will make a lot of people happy here.I already fixed the hitbox
thing myself:by using the 125mm smooth bore. ;-)

All the noobs will swarm back to bf2, even more when pr doesnt work for them in 1.5. but then after the devs fix pr to work with 1.5, then the noobs will not know of it hopefully since they dont come to the website, and wont come back. maybe.

Good to know! Curious what the hit-box will do and how much we will see it work. Also a good thing that BF2 gets DRM! No more switching dvd's. Not that I have anything else in there than BF2 :P

and wide-screen hopefully! nice nice nice.

My thoughts exactly.

Hitbox improvement would be nice, but what are the chances that it will still be subpar?
I'd bet pretty high.

Is that the whole list of improvements that DICE is making?

I just hope, that all those annoying security holes get closed, which enabled those script-kids to destroy everyones fun... if cheating was only about aimbots - as weird as it may sound know - i would be glad, because you can deal with these scumbags, but all that crashing and spoofing is a pain in the ***. So let´s hope, that DICE fixes that once and for all..

Weeeell, this'll be good, but honestly, I don't see it being monumental (i.e. 128 player support). I've already changed my copy to work with Vista 64... I use a mini-CD image so I don't have to load the disc every time... hitboxes were never really a HUGE problem... but the hack fixes will be nice. Been getting WAY too many CTDs lately.

theres a big difference from changing the BF2 MOD and changing the entire BF2 directory mate, the BF2 MOD has all the information such as prone spamming and objects and ****, we all know that. but altering the entire BF2 directory will create a rubix cube of fail that the mod developers for every BF2 mod out there will spend months deciphering.

masaq was close, but i dont think he was 100%... whatever the DICE devs change, creates uber clusterf**k for all the mod developers. its like the old analagy of where a butterfly flapping its wings can create a tidal wave the other side of the world. any small change to the directory can potentially create a FAILRIPPLE throughout the entire directory. and thus all life as we know it will be extinquished... in BF2. :shock:

And to illustrate my point, i made this...

But then they would patch the sdk and then the mods can just reexport a new version of pr and also fix things that might need to be changed or no longer work?

Btw, if you're smart guys, you go to that "1.50 Status" thread and post about the squadbug - a bug which is REALLY ruining the game for PR. Maybe they will try to fix it too. DO IT!

I see it a lot..

But there are other bugs yes, like the "server info" bug - which I see everytime I play. Go to the "1.50 Status" thread and post about it - better chance to get these bugs fixed.. :D
