Battlefield 2 v1.2 patch now available....

Image hosted by Photobucket.comIf you play Battlefield 2 (see previous post here) I strongly recommend you download and install the latest v1.2 patch from EA Games. It contains a lot more bug fixes and tweaks to balance and improve gameplay, adds some new capabilities as well as some more unlockable weapons, and it gets rid of a lot of the exploits in the game which a lot of unsporting players resort to. Hopefully we'll be seeing the last of those "bunny-hoppers" and "dolphin-divers" that take so much fun and realism out of the game by jumping and diving around like a bunch of idiots.

Here's a list of the improvements:

  • Helicopter now carry 8 missiles rather than 14

  • TV-Guided missile now have a shorter range

  • Hit points on all air vehicles has been reduced

  • AA missile lock has been improved

  • Support kits have had their primary weapons adjusted for accuracy

  • Sniper kits have had their primary weapons adjusted for accuracy

  • Anti-Tank kits have had their primary weapons adjusted for accuracy

  • "Dolphin Diving" is no longer possible

  • Players can no longer jump and shoot at the same time

  • "Prone Spamming" is now fixed

  • "Sprint exploit" is now fixed

  • The Sa80 weapon has been improved

  • The G3A3 weapon has been improved

  • Reload while sprinting has been enabled

  • Chinese and MEC APCs can now shoot through penetrable materials

  • Damage decreased for the M134

  • Medic defibrillator paddles have been adjusted. They now reload while not in use.

  • Server search filters now work properly

  • All mines (Claymore, Anti-vehicle, C4) can now be picked up by the same class that dropped it by using the “G” key.

  • Mines can no longer be destroyed with other explosives

  • Flash bang effect radius decreased

  • Added unlocks for Sniper and AT kits

  • Fixed a bug in terrain rendering with night vision, whereby terrain was still dark in dark areas.

  • Fixed a bug whereby mods that are not bf2 or not xpack permutate shaders every time a level is loaded.

  • Fixed a bug whereby non-xpack mods cannot use xpack shaders.

  • Fixed bug in TV guided missiles of Havoc helicopter

  • Bug in MP7 fire rate fixed. Ammo count increased and mag count and damage decreased

  • APC Update – “Chinese and MEC APCs can now shoot through penetrable materials”. This fix was a miscommunication to the patch team. Chinese and MEC APC’s have been reverted and the LAV25 now no longer shoots through penetrable materials.

  • Vehicles no longer disappear when viewed from some vehicles with a HUD (e.g. Tanks).

  • Performance gain found in static mesh rendering.

  • Detonation radius from grenade launcher explosions has been reduced.

  • Grenade launcher projectiles now have a minimum time before arming.

Electronic Arts is apparently doing its job in making sure that we get the best possible gaming experience from Battlefield 2. Now that's a software company. :-)

See you on the battlefield gents. Look for Gunnery Sergeant [PHI] nemesis_922.

It took me more than eight months of playing online to reach that online rank. The best players are now colonels and lieutenant colonels. :-)

Is aspartame safe?

Image
Do you know what aspartame is? Well, even if you don't, given its ubiquitous nature, its a virtual certainty that you have already crossed paths with it in your life at one time or another. For the uninitiated, aspartame is a low-calorie sugar substitute most often used in carbonated beverages, you know, the diet or lite variety. Here in the Philippines, it is commonly known by the brand names NutraSweet and Equal . The reason why it has significantly fewer calories is because its not carbohydrate based. Its a methyl (methane derivative) ester (organic compound) dipeptide (two amino acids joined by a single peptide bond) consisting of aspartic acid as the first amino acid, and phenylalanine as the second. Its about 180 times sweeter than typical table sugar, and as such, a little goes a long way. A single pellet of Equal (18 mg of aspartame) has about the same sweetening strength as a teaspoon of ordinary white sugar (about 5 ml). Do the math. It was first discovered in 19

Peddling Snake Oil - The Khaos Super Turbo Charger

Photos courtesy of Ghosthunter If you drive or are at least into cars, no doubt you've probably heard at one time or another about the Khaos Super Turbo Charger . It's a device that is claimed to drastically reduce the fuel consumption of your gasoline driven vehicle by as much as 50%. It created such a hype when it was introduced in November 2003 after glowing reviews and endorsements from, among others, the Department of Energy (DOE), the Makati Land Transportation Office (LTO) and Taiwan’s Automotive Research and Testing Center. Even Malacañang got into the picture, and presented the inventor, Pablo Planas, with a Presidential Award Medal for Outstanding Invention. All in all, various government agencies and government officials got into the picture, singing the praises of a device that miraculously reduces fuel consumption by a significant margin. As a result, in less than a year, more than 3,500 units were sold and installed to customers who swear by the product's effe
