1.10 patch!

[Lynus]

Greetings,

We continue our march into the Christmas holiday with more and more happening in the Battlefield Universe. This week we will begin public Beta Testing of the 1.10 update. In this update we are adding server options and a few game play enhancements along with a number of bug fixes. Some of these improvements are:
Fixed Titan wall exploit - Players will no longer be able to exploit into the corridor wall to unfairly defend their titan.
Spectator Functionality - Players will be able to join a server as a spectator.
Active Camouflage Update: A bug that caused camouflaged players in medium to long range situations to be more visible than originally intended has been fixed. The IT-33 now functions as it did in the Public Beta. Thanks to former Beta Testers who helped to track down this issue.
Takao T20 and P33 Pereira Pistols: The maximum rate of fire has been increased on both the EU and PAC pistols. The pistol bullets' damage over distance has also been tweaked to allow for a slightly larger ideal range. Players should find the handgun's effectiveness as a close range panic weapon to be greatly improved.
Master Server Disconnects: We are adding client side enhancements to eliminate Master Server Disconnect Issues.
And much more!
-Your DICE Live Team

SPECTATOR !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOT !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

* stoke;39368 is soooooooo gonna spy on Alpha21 for a bit before going to get stoke's tags back.

:eek: Will this be the next exploit? Two players in one room,one spying and another rapeing:confused:

adds a whole new mod to the game. "The cloak and dagger expansion":rofl:

well helping someone through teamspeak or something else is specifically against the ROE, but how do you prove something like this? I waws initially excited about spectator but then I started thinking...what about extra load on the server because of people just watching and also what about the inevitable help people are going to give each other because of this...I'm sceptical, I think it has the potential to kill the game...look at CS as an example.

[stoke]

Well .. it will make zero difference if somebody is spying on me .. i suck weather somebody is watching or not.

Ey stain ... wanna try a bit of spy on boc ?

Can never be enabled in a comp . Just 2 much possibility for misuse.

Agree Stoke ! Me too !!!!

Ummmm ... if you have two guys in a room they can spy whether they can spectate or not - just put one guy on the other side and go to the squad tab.

Load-wise, it might actually help - if you have peeps spectating they are not contributing towards bullets flying round (as long as they take a slot on the server, of course).

I would expect them to build some kind of limit to spectators though - probably only have 2-6 slots for spectators I would guess ...

[stoke]

I dig the idea of flying over the battlefield with a war in progress below ... weeeeee!

[FeralBanana]

:cry:

ANOTHER patch to download and kill my already pillaged cap! :o

Oh well.. if it helps :)

[SlappY]

I dont dig the idea of playing like dragging pixels through molasas while some tit flies over the battlefield with a war in progress (And Stoke I am not implying you a tit... cause if you were I would rub your nose all the time)

:rofl: ROFLPIMP!!!

[Stool]

*squeeze*

[FeralBanana]

:roffel:

Hahahaha... Riight ;)

[stoke]

me offers meself to the obvious glee of everybodee


!NOT!

[FeralBanana]

/me does accept toke's idea not.

[StaticS]

Well they need to fix that knife bug when u knife someone and u hear a sound of impact but no resulting death :( I hate it when that happens! :mad:

[stoke]

Stop stabbing their backpacks. Stab a foot / stomach.

[lolla]

Why would anyone just wanna watch and not play Battlefield at all? They have some voyeuristic tendencies we need to know about? Get in there and get killed repeatedly like *some* of us!

[TG]

Nah love, it's just you. (that gets killed all the time) :p

[stoke]

Now now you two ... keep that stuff out of this child friendly place.

[FeralBanana]

Mine eyessss!!! AAAHH!!! :p

Anyway I think the spectator mode is pretty useless and actually not really that fantastic.. they SERIOUSLY need to look at the knife dodgyness though it has a REALLY long range (for a butterknife) and only sometimes hits etc..

[Lynus]

FeralBanana has been rejected by the Geneva convention!

[FeralBanana]

Let's look at the real issue here:

I have TG's dogtags and he threw a bit of a powertrip tantrum :p

[TG]

You ain't seen nothin' yet.

[StaticS]

*StaticS feels bad he knifed TG and then Tea bagged him afterwards* :p

[TG]

Dude, you get mad props *thumps chest* for tea baggin' me!

[FeralBanana]

I was ABOUT to teabag you before some loser shot me in the back :grr:

[TG]

Right, right. Keep telling yourself that.

:p

[FeralBanana]

Actually I think it was slobberdog.. good thing he left the clan or I would have had some SERIOUS words with him :p

[Alluvium]

- Increased the entry radius points for all vehicles

- Active cammo will no longer incorrectly offset textures
-Punkbuster: Change default server port to 17567
-PAC titan corridor-3 exploit: Moved player collision to stop this
-PunkBuster: Update to most current PB client files
-Reserved Slot Enhancement: Reserved slot servers will now allow the full number of player slots to be used by non-RS list players. When a reserved slot player joins the last player to join the server will be kicked.
-Added unlock control to unranked servers
-Tier-1 Unlocks: All first tier unlocks can now be made available regardless of player rank on unranked servers
-Tier restriction control: Admins on unranked servers may now select which unlock tiers are available for use on the server. Please note that this setting does not grant access to unlocks that a player has not earned through ranked play.
-Unranked Spectator Functionality: Added spectator player slots to unranked servers. Players may join a server as a spectator. Please note that spectator players will need to exit the server and rejoin as a player in order to join a team.
- Added client functions to help reduce persistent Master Server Disconnects
-New client login procedure to reduce persistent disconnects by the EA Master server. Please note that this measure will only initiate after the first disconnect occurs. Due to dependencies of the Master server some players may still experience server related disconnects.
