Awyeahw !

nice! good works devs.


flare-equipped grenadier . hmm must see this

Now thats what i'm talking about !!!

Fixed kit reservation system allowing you to have 2 medics in your squad without deselecting the class.

I figured that was a feature, rather than a bug..

nice patch notes overall, great work!

Great job guys! Never disappointing new features

Thanks guys, PR Devs never disappoint!

Great job devs!

Downloading on two computers now...

HUD:
Added ammo indicator to show the approximate amount of bullets left in the magazine.

I was fully used to not having an ammo indicator too...

Really cool update!
Will we see Boxer and Fennek for Germans too in the future?
I think the Dutch are now the most high tech faction in game (even hk 416, oh god!)

It's a pretty obscure system, mainly designed for the big guns (AR, MG).
It's shown only while the radio commorose is show (Q) and takes three seconds to load. Not only that but it only shows the approx amount.

Thanks, really nice update !

6 squad members to request a Marksman, Grenadier or MG kit.

Argl...

'Added 'Anti Human Shield' function, civilians get punished if they die within 10m of armed insurgents.'

That is just unfair, what if a friendly runs into you and you get killed by the enemy? You always have to fear a friendly coming close to you.

civilians try avoiding firefights in real life.
if insurgents bring the fight to your place, you would get out, or you would have to deal with the consequences.

Awesome save guys! You have snatched victory from the jaws of defeat!

P.S. I can't really blame EA for pulling the plug on BF2 since there is obviously more profit in pushing new games than saving old ones. After all, EA needs the profits to be able to afford those golden parachutes and their kids' Harvard tuition won't pay itself, lol.

besides the 3 new maps and the dutch forces a shit ton of small details were added and fixed too. Good work guys! Impressive.

Dutch Forces! Lets celebrate.

Did the hind got hes movements updates and the ammo capacity and zoom?

BTW good job dev, i hope make more feed backs in the future.

chinese support truck has canadian light supply crate

"Added 'Anti Human Shield' function, Insurgent Collaborators get punished if they die within 10m of armed insurgents."

I don't like this either. Will have to see how it affects the game actually. I get that killing civvies has been a problem some times, but I feel having to check your fire very carefully should be considered a feature of insurgency not a bug...
