Oh yeah baby, the FIP are on their way to the Battlefield...

...did I say battlefield? I meant pub... just out of shot there's a lovely beachside tavern that serves the finest Jamaican rum. We're gonna stock up in the landing craft and then RTB with such vital strategic supplies for the rest of the Platoon.

Unfortunately, I can only play regularly on Wednesday and Sunday. But Sunday is a long session so I think we can do both and there are usualy quite few FI so I think their will be plenty of pilots. Wednesdays would be fine except it is difficult for both sides of the Atlantic to get together. Of course anyone is free to host/play at any other time but I can only join in on those days (except for when I all of a sudden find myself with a lot more free time like when Amanda will be gone next week to go to a wedding ;).

Official news on 1.01 patch...

Official EA BF2 website wrote:Community Update - 6/30/05

Update 1.01 Coming Soon
That's right, the first Battlefield 2 Update is coming your way very soon. We've kept quiet about this update so far, but today we're going to reveal the major fixes coming with the Update. The best part is, every fix in this update is a result of Community feedback on the demo and retail game release.

Fixes

-Fixed issues that caused the Multiplayer Browser to become unresponsive.

We've added some new functionality and buttons to the Multiplayer Browser that make finding an open game of Battlefield 2 much, much easier. Issues users have encountered involving zero ping servers or browser hangs have all be addressed.

-Fixed an issue where some game controls were not available to be rebound within the Options menu.

Some functions previously were not available to be rebound in the Controls Options menus. These items have been added to make rebinding of functions much easier.

-Fixed a crash with rebinding LMB

Users who rebind the Left Mouse Button to "Move forward" rejoice!

With these fixes and more, it should be much easier to get in to a game of Battlefield 2 and that much easier to play it the way you want to play it. Look for this update to be deployed into battle some time next week!

Linux Server Build
Many of you have made us aware of issues with the previously released retail Linux server (2442) in both 32-bit and 64-bit environments. DICE has finished work on a replacement build and QA has been working hard to validate something that we can release to the community. Our goal is to get a fully operational version of the Linux server out to the Community ASAP. Stay tuned to this spot for updates.

BF2 Editor Update
Those of you who have been watching this space over the last couple of weeks are aware the BF2 Editor was intended to be released to the Community by the end of June. While we feel we are on the homestretch now in terms of being able to release a complete Battlefield 2 Mod Development Toolkit, we will not be able to meet our previously stated goal. At this time, we are committed to getting the Open Beta of the Battlefield 2 Editor released some time in July. Stay tuned to this space for more details.

Advanced Tactical Center for Battlefield 2 Releasing!
Tomorrow marks the initial release to the community of a tool built by Foolish Entertainment especially for Battlefield 2 - the Advanced Tactical Center for Battlefield 2. This easy to use tool allows your clan to communicate tactics easily and evolve them together in real time! There are also some new tools to the ATC like "zoom", "export tactic" and a "Custom Map Wizard" that builds upon the already large library of tools! Create and manage your squad before even joining a server with ATC. For more information on ATC, visit http://www.foolishentertainment.com" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

Have a greath 4th everybody!

Well lads, depending on how the Platoon likes BF2, I will earnestly save my pennies if the overwhelming consensus is that it is worth the money or not. $50 is pretty stiff for me right now.

It's a realtime tactics management program... looks pretty cool. Maybe we could try it out this weekend or next week? 40Mb download.

Nope. Generally the demo nevers does much for me. I don't think there is a game that the demo worked good enough to give an accurate portrayal of the game itself.

Heya lads, does anyone know where I can get a reliable version of the BF2 demo from because I tried to d/l it from Gamespot and it was corrupted. Everywhere else you have to register. Anyone?

Well the demo lasted for about 10 minutes on my machine before I got rid of it. I wasn't able to really do anything, wasn't allowed into the options without the screen blanking out, and all it did was screw up my vid. What a pile.
