1.4 Beta

[[JiF]AlbieDamned]

The Battlefield 2142 1.4 beta update includes the following changes:

- Fixed an exploit that would allow commanders to call Orbital and EMP strikes before it had fully recharged.
- The Clark RDX Shotgun can now detonate other nearby explosives.
- EU Assault Rifle recoil and deviation have been slightly reduced.
- Bianchi and Shuko LMGs recoil reduced.
- Clark Shotgun rate of fire increased.
- Added an autosave to kit customisations. After you customise a kit and spawn in with that kit, the customisation will be automatically saved until you change it and spawn in again. Note that you must spawn in with a particular kit for it to be saved.

The customization save thing will be a welcome relief to the tedium of having to customize every single time you play the game. The Clark Shotgun rate of fire increase could be interesting. That weapon rocks, but if you don't get a one shot kill you're usually in trouble. A rate of fire increase could make it unstoppable.

There's also a new map, Highway Tampa, that you can get with the beta for now and presumably with the public release when it comes out: http://battlefield.ea.com/battlefield/b ... ryid=13707

Edit: They're making versions of this map for BF2 and BF2142.

Is this an upgrade or another coming expansion?

It's a patch. It should be free.

Now that, is cool.

I gotta start getting back into playing this (these) game(s) again.

Ok, I downloaded and installed it today and I gotta say, I really like the new map coming out. Unfortunately thats the only map I can play unless I reinstall the game seeing as the only servers are the EA Beta Servers.

I'm looking forward to the full release of it.

Same mistake I made on the last beta. As members pointed out to me. You can copy the original install directory over before patching. Then install the patch. After your done testing you can copy the original install back on top. At least I think thats what they told me Saves reinstalling. I have not tried it.
