Topic: 1.4 beta 2

Well, It looks like EA is finally getting off their collective butts, and may be finally getting the 1.4 out of beta.  They've just released Beta 2, and it only runs until Oct 8th.  More Info below.  Of course they'd do this just after First Strike was released, so we'll all have to wait for yet ANOTHER hotfix, to update us to 1.4 when it's finally out of beta..


Battlefield 2142 Update 1.4 Beta 2

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. You can download Battlefield 2142 Update 1.4 Beta 2 here

Re: 1.4 beta 2

With FS out now I really don't care about 2142 anymore. 1.4 sounds so underwhelming while FS has sooooooo much upside.

Re: 1.4 beta 2

Too little too late for my clan,we just closed our ranked server down a few days ago.
EA have been promising this for months and months now once they have your money thats it,they give no feedback to the public at all and wonder why so many players are leaving 2142 and are waiting on new games like crysis and COD4 lol
tbh once i hit brig gen i lost all interest in 2142,infact i only reinstalled 2142 for the FS mod.
Its a shame big money companies dont care for there products like most of the mod deisgners do.
still there lost not mine smile

ditto on no more money from me too mega_death wink
