Patch v1.3
================================================================

NEW FEATURES

– Air dropped vehicles:
Squad members can now send a request up the chain of command for a vehicle to be dropped at their location.

– Co-op:
Co-op Mode allows you to play Single Player levels on the Internet and LAN with both AI controlled bots and human players. Several new options have been created that will allow the server creator to modify how the bots behave in game.

Number of Bots: This setting allows you to determine the total number of bots that will spawn in game.

Bot Ratio: This setting allows you to determine the percentage of total bots that will spawn for each team. For example, setting this value to 25 means that 25% of the total bots will spawn in Team 1, and 75% in Team 2. Team 1 is always the MEC, Chinese, or their allies, while Team 2 is always the USA, EU, and their allies.

Bot Difficulty: This setting determines the skill level of the bots. 10 is easiest, 100 is the most difficult.

– Default Kit Selection:
The kit that you used last is remembered at the beginning of the round and between maps.

Hard Drive Space

Windows will require additional free hard drive space for its operating system
(virtual memory). If you encounter the following message in an error dialog:
"Ran out of virtual memory", free up some more hard drive space.

To install Battlefield 2 Version 1.2 you will need approximately 2.0 GB free hard
disk space for the full patch or 1.5GB for the incremental patch, plus space for
saved games.

If you have Battlefield 2 installed to a different hard disk than where you have
Windows installed then approximately 375Mb (full patch) or 100Mb (incremental patch)
of the required free space must be available on the hard disk where Windows is
installed.

To install Battlefield 2: Euro Force you will need approximately 800Mb free hard
disk space plus space for saved games.

BATTLEFIELD 2: SPECIAL FORCES AND THE PATCH
– It is very important to remember that the Special Forces executable is an earlier
version of the game. If you have purchased Battlefield 2: Special Forces after
you have installed the patch, you will need to reinstall patch 1.2 after
installing Special Forces.

as per current design.

KNOWN ISSUE
ATI CROSSFIRE CARDS
– CROSSFIRE cards with 256 Megs of memory, running in CROSSFIRE mode will run out
of memory at very high resolution settings. On very high resolutions, such as
1920×1440 with 6x antialiasing. In CROSSFIRE mode the ATI drivers are more
restrictive about where resources are allocated, and as a result run out of
memory sooner than with a single board. This running out of memory causes the
device context creation to fail. The result is that the game just sits in a
loop with a black screen. If you experience a context creation failure change
your resolution to a lower setting (e.g. 1024×768 or even lower).

UPDATE TO GRAPPLING HOOK AND ZIP LINE DESCRIPTION

GRAPPLING HOOK
– The GRAPPLING HOOK is part of the Assault and Anti-tank kits. Throw it using
the fire or alternate fire buttons. Press "E" to get on and off of the rope.
Use the direction keys to climb the rope. The rope will connect to any static
object in the world, which means it will not work on terrain or vehicles. Any
Assault or Anti-Tank kit can pick up any grappling hook, even those from other
teams, as long as you do not already have one in your kit at the time.

ZIP LINE
– The ZIP LINE is part of the Special Forces and Sniper kits. Use the fire button
to shoot the line and use the alternate fire button to check if the target is a
viable connection point or not. Once the line is in place, use "E" to get on.
You will slide down the line automatically. Any Spec-Ops or Sniper kit can pick
up any zip line, even those from the other team, as long as you do not already
have one in your kit at the time.
