You mean you spent 14 hours downloading it and haven't installed it!?!?
I like it. Although it's a shame they've not implemented the being able to pick up C4 etc. The improved AA guns are actually worth trying to use now!

Voice over IP is disabled on the SNAFU server as it caused too much lag. We do use a seperate TeamSpeak server though.
On other servers that have VoIP enabled, it's just a matter of assigning the "press to talk" button in BF2

Thanks for that... next dumb question: how do you get the medic to revive someone?
I can heal them holding the bag, but what about when they are down and you can revive them?
Got my 2nd medal today Basic combat medic... I spent more time shooting than healing I think.

That was great fun (although unfairly one-sided at one point with all the aircraft)
DrEVil - I was perfectly calm
Oh, the promotion finally caught up with me! I actually managed three medals in one day - two in one game

I'll try tonight and see what happens, but I'm starting to wonder if my XP64 OS might be to blame or maybe my shonky DIY telephone extension into the study

I bleeding SAW him pass overhead and circle BACK just to drop a whole load of cluster bombs on my head! (and THEN some git had the cheek to drop a blasted artillery barrage as well!!!)Besides - it wasn't when i said he was picking on me that you told me to calm down - it was when I told him to "sod off"

Blunderbus is evil in planes...
This new patch has added a couple of major bugs... I hope v1.2.1 is released soon!

What bugs are we talking about? I did notice that I was dropped out of games once I installed 1.2, and I never did before.
I hope my stats for those games was saved as I was doing really well in a couple of them, i actually topped a score of over 100 for the first time in one game
Oh, I got promoted to PFC six times in the end. It finally showed up in my HQ screen after the SNAFU game
I really did enjoy those games last night - even when I was getting bombed on a regular basis.. I can't complain as I haven't taken the time to learn to fly myself yet (aerial gunner, no probs - in control... the only thing I can consistently hit is the ground)

well appart from the TOW causing server crashes on some levels and the helis on Surge (BF2 SF) being unusable (lags something awful now), theres a few others - on the whole though the patch was an improvement on game play. Although the AA guns on Ghost town have made the helis pointless on that level.
The stats servers have been a little flakey since v1.2 being rolled out - which has been the same each time they've patched - so should settle down - thats why the PFC was achieved several times
Reminds me, must check my stats (http://bf2s.com/player/SNAFU_DrEvil/)
