From cg forums. New changes sound promising and hope we see some more teams come in for it, and some more of our own guys taking it up. With rego being so bad on 6v6 lately the changes could be good.
Hi guys, we were going to push through and continue into season 2 with the CGi and CGo leagues with a ladder lock happening tonight in preparation for season 2.
There is a new release of the small format mod coming for season 2 which i hope to release for download at the end of the current CGi finals series. What we are going to do is instead of locking the ladder leading up to season 2 i will leave the ladder in freeplay CGo mode and once the finals are completed it will be around 2 weeks after that we will go live again for season 2 with all teams rejoining the CGo ladder for a new season.
Some of the modifications coming in 1.4
Movement delays reduced to bring the mod back in line with vanilla bf2, the jump to fire delay will remain but its being reduced, its a little higher than vanilla but marginally so you have to actually hit the ground before you can fire.
The damage hand grenades do has been reverted to vanilla to fix the current issue with hand grenades heavily damaging armor.
C4 has been damage reduced, if you sneak up to a tank and place a c4 charge it will cripple it but not destroy it outright but its driver will have to repair immediately. If you place c4 on a car and slam it into a tank it WILL destroy the tank but it does have to be a precise manouvre or suicide run as remember you only have 1 pack.
Sniper rifles on the MEC and Chinese teams have been replaced with the l96a1 so all teams are using bolt action sniper rifles.
Damage across the board with all guns has been increased a little as currently the damage was a little too low requiring too many bullets to kill an enemy, also the red dust has been removed, it was as much a fun tweak we did as much as anything else.
New maps, we are going to cull the maplist to the favourites from 1.3 and include more new content for you, including some of the DE map pack and also your favourites from proladder.
Feel free to list your top 6-8 maps from small format 1.3, as the DE map packs are primarily infantry only we are looking to cull the vanilla maps back to vehicle maps so we have a nice balance of inf maps and vehicles.
Also i am looking at possibly taking on 1-2 more admins for battlefield2 due to my increasing workload elsewhere, PM me with an application including prev experience.
