View Full Version : Bf 2142 Patch V1.40
OK... this beta 1.40 been out quite a while now... this thing has gotta be close to release....
ANYBODY got any idea when this is due for release ??
I've scouted the net and can't seem to find any info on it. I've played the beta and
i enjoyed the Tampa Highway map. Its a huge map with loads of vehicals and action.
Great for CQ/TITAN and Assault Lines.
Anyone with any info.... please update us here with a link if possible....
Thanks guys. :)
I haven't seen anything and i have been keeping an eye out on this subject for months. i heard that patch 1.40 / 1.41 (whatever it will be called) will be the last patch released for BF2142.. because of the lack of players, plus DICE are focusing all their time on the upcoming "Battlefield: Bad Company", but who knows.. they were only rumors.
I remember seeing, a list of Fixes / game tweaks / add ons, but i don't think they were official.. the list contained about 20 changes.
Couple of changes i know to were useful.... A new map, highway tampa and the kits stayed in place so you dont have to keep customising them, and the shotgun is very much faster. These are things i noticed anyhoo. ;)

I think I'll wait for the release by EA I don't mind betas as a rule but I don't want my game screwed at the expense of a beta lol!
It wont mess it up if you do this...
Copy your 1.25 directory to another location then patch the game with the 1.40 beta.
When you wanna play the 1.25 just switch the folders. I had both games and simply changed the name of the folder back when i wanted to play 1.25.
The beta works great, no issues and worth a sneak peak. ;)
I still can't find anything about the full release tho......
the kits stayed in place so you dont have to keep customising them
what does that mean? i dont know what you mean sry
what does that mean? i dont know what you mean sry
I so hope he means that your last played kit and their gunassignments/favourites and so stay on instead of everytime again select your kit and guns and so...
Yeah the kits stayed as you left them even after quitting the game and then start play again. Strange this feature was not in the v1 in the first place. ;)

I heard a rumor that it is not going to be released until the Battlefield 2142 copy for the mac is released, so as the official release date for the mac copy is this Friday we could be in for a surprise.

call my cynical but i really think this is a typical deliberate EA move to move people off this game to buy a new one (ie. crysis). they did it before with BF2 where they delayed and delayed releasing patches for absolutely ages (nothing near as long as this one mind) and to me it seemed like it was to just piss people off so they stop playing......
this does not seem too dissimilar
Yep its been almost a full year now... couple more weeks. ;)

Roug3granny, i thought the exact same thing, but it's obviously not the case as BF2142 was released for the MAC about 1 month ago, maybe they are waiting for the release of Quake Wars, if people get bored of 2142 then more people will buy Quake Wars, maybe thats what they are doing.. but yea it wouldn't surprise me the slightest if the patch was released a few days after Quake Wars.
the official changes are:
-New map highway tamper
-Improved the SCAR11 (more power, less recoil)
-Added a kit save feature
-Increased shotgun fire rate
Thats all i know at the moment.

I have read on another forum that except for more patch fixes this will be the LAST development for BF2142.
No more booster packs etc.
I also heard that at this time the next BF console game will be just that. Consoles only. It seems they make mega bucks from the x-box etc and not so much from PC developments.

I don't believe that!!!
EA must have made tons more from the battlefield franchise on PC than on consoles. I hope the next battlefield comes out on pc too. would be treachery if it did'nt.
yep no booster packs anymore, i here that to...they all working this bad company whats come only consoles. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YEEDKwW-5_Q

and this from Sentience the DICE spokeperson on BF2142 forum
"
As ever, I wouldn't recommend giving any credence to rumours like this. There are no plans for another 2142 expansion or booster at this time, though 1.4 will include the final version of Highway Tampa 2142 for everyone to play. Nor are there any plans for a PC version of Bad Company, it's been designed from the ground up as a console title first and foremost.
"
I personally think we'll see BF3 or even 'first and foremost - for the consoles' bad company on the PC.

SO in conclusion then is worth me downloading the beta patch or not?

I personally would say yes, its not gonna harm you if you do. Just copy your existing BF2142 directory and save it somewhere and patch the bf2142/1.25 to 1.40beta, when you've had enough simply delete the 1.40beta directory putting your 1.25 directory back. No harm done. Its worth a dabble m8. ;)

I think I'll wait till it's properly released
Well Since the BETA 2 is out for BF:2142 DICE has stated that the full patch is soon on its way within the next month. Here are the fixes for the 1.40 patch.
This beta includes the new Highway Tampa map brought to you by Intel in cooperation with DICE. This beta will be run for a shorter period of time, ending Monday October 8th. We will then work towards the final non-beta release. The full list of changes is as follow.
Features
- Added a new map, Highway Tampa.
- 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.
- Titans will now spawn up to two gunships per side
- Squad Leaders no longer have to resupply to re-equip destroyed drones
Fixes
- Exploit Fix: hardcoded the time limits of Orbital and EMP strikes.
- RDX Shotgun now detonates RDX, Motion Mines, AP Mines with minimum of 2 rounds.
- Ported EU Assault Rifle changes to the Best Buy unlock as well.
- Fixed LMG Left/Right Recoil
- Revised EU Assault Rifle Recoil
- Increased Clark rate of fire to match Herzog
- Fixed PAC shotgun attachment recoil to match other Herzogs
- Further adjustment to Squad Leader drones to prevent them accidentally killing the Squad Leader when deployed
- Further fix to prevent "pod surfing". Note that some pod movement will still be possible and is an intended gameplay mechanic to allow the player to have some small choice of landing site and to access rooftops
- Smoke from the CM3-N Radar Grenade deploys more quickly. The Radar range has been slightly increased and endures for the duration of the smoke effect.
- The CM3-N Radar Grenade may now be resupplied.
- The screening effectiveness of all smoke grenades has been significantly improved.
- Adjusted Talon heat source position to improve Gunship missile balance.
- Beta Feedback: Fixed the placement of an AA gun on Highway Tampa
- Beta Feedback: Improved the visuals of the swimming pool on Highway Tampa
Note that if you are running the first beta you should remove that Battlefield 2142 install support.ea.com before proceeding with this second beta update.
2 Gunships?? That should proove interesting. Cool. I played the beta a lot and kits previously customised will stay after game restarts is a god send. ;)
2 gunships oh noes =) then no chance to fly a chopper anyway =P
and podsurfing i think its how i use it i juse fly a few meters away from beacon not like others over whole map =/
I think the NS/CQ Timeless guys will love the Tampa map for CQ/Assault lines. I will look forward joining you guys on it. ;)
Omg 2 gunships??? too good to be truuuuuuuuuuuueeeee
they said they will remove the major podsurfing glitch right? but just spinning while in pod (also changing directions then) is allowed right? thats what they mean in newest patch then right?? i dont know how the other podsurf goes but the spinning one is allowed, is it?? thank you

Makes a change to see them trying to get it right first time.
Presumably this is the last patch we're getting.
