Thumbs Up! BF2 patch within hours!

I just lifted this from the EA forum. It's legit.

"The patch is due today (Tuesday), but we are not expecting the release before 4pm BST at the earliest.

We'll update again when we have a concrete time."

Just by way of a teaser, here's a link to IGN's review of the patch:

Ubergrendle is just really niceUbergrendle is just really niceUbergrendle is just really niceUbergrendle is just really niceUbergrendle is just really nice

best news i've read all day. although its only 10:30am here.

looking forward to not instantly dying when a jeep touches my big toe...
blackhawks that don't operate like Super Star Destroyers...
points for destroying command assets...
not getting switched to the losing team in the last 30 seconds when I'm commander...

Apparently the ranks are going to be reworked so that you don't need to dedicate your life to getting your second weapon unlock.

Now that should have been the change log!

Much better way of putting things.

Hey, your comp specs are pretty close to mine.

Seriously, BF2 is a very very fun game, perhaps the best FPS out there right now. The diversity of play is tremendous, and the command element -- when used by players who care -- brings a level of sophistication to the game that is absent in other FPSes.

There's some obvious things that should have been in the first release, but alot of these gameplay tweaks will take this game from 'good' to 'great' IMHO. I was a die-hard CS 1.5/1.6/Sourcer, but I can't go back now... the gameplay is too predictable.

Other tweaks rumoured:
- friends list (duh!)
- server favorites list (double duh!)
- names of teammates in vehicles
- supply crates show up on the HUD (yay!!!!)
