Apparently 1.4 is meant to be released on Tuesday. No idea about server arrangements just yet.

Hope it has fixed the server crashes, crash to desktop, red tag bug... Looking forward to getting the GS server back online - shame I'm on holiday from the 19th .

I can't imagine they DIDN'T fix it... about this red tag bug: i encountered a blue tag bug, i got teamkilled all the time by a guy who was constantly at the base. So after a few times i got this pissed of i killed him...... and scored points. I checked and indeed he was on the other side of the score list.... an enemy in blue :S

its about time, i havenet touched bf2 for weeks. The server crashes should be fixed coz it'll just be a waste of a patch.

Couldnt of been timed more perfectly, i have an exam tomorrow morning, guess what i'll be doing after that.

Ash has found some time to play and convinced me to join in and get me away from my busy workschedule so yeah last couple of days were fun, hope the fun gets better with this patch and the inevetable return of GS

1.4 has been delayed until further notice...

you're pooting me right? source?

At least a 24 hours delay Source

right... couldn't they have thought of that with patch numero uno?

anyway is it true the patch will bring a new map and a new game mode?

From Planet Battlefield. GG. Please don't buy 2142. Just don't.

I think 1.4 will be last patch for BF2, they are tieing up the loose ends making it somewhat shipshape before DICE Canada jump ship to 2142 beta testing.

BF1942 went to 1.6
BFV went to 1.2 (what a joke)
BF2 will prob go to 1.4

The fix list more or less demonstrates this, although the BH guns remain as pea shooters.

well... at least it sounds promissing, but so did the other patches

1.3 sounded like it would be the patch from god, but look how it screwed everything up. I can not play now with out a crash to desktop or sever crash. Sooooo frustrating

I hate delays. Getting a miniLAN with SmidsY today, tomorrow... and the day after, so it would have been nice to play a GS server

any ideas on when the patch WILL be released?
