Well the PR server had CTD issue today so it is not gone.

Correct. EA posted the following on battlefield.com yesterday:

"Battlefield 2 celebrates its three year anniversary

With over 15 million player accounts being created since release, Battlefield 2 is still going strong. On the forums we often see discussions about whether there will ever be another update for the game. Well, today we are happy to announce that we are working on an update for Battlefield 2. We are planning to provide an open beta in the near future and we hope you’ll give us your feedback before final release; so watch out for that.

Keep an eye on www.Battlefield.com for information on what we are working on, release dates and don’t forget to visit our forums.

In the mean time Battlefield Bad Company is released worldwide this week and we expect it will keep you occupied while we work on the update.

-End of Transmission-

Regards,

DICE Live team"

Since it seems like they're going to release a beta, listen to player feedback, and then release a final, what features/tweaks do you want (realistically)?

General
-Urban PLA map
-Address remaining CTD issues
-Address some hack issues (cartillery, server crash)
-Instead of radio direct to commander, 2nd radio channel among all squad leader and commander

Air
-Decrease HP or armor of AH
-Decrease HP or armor of transport choppers while increasing the effectiveness of doorguns
-Increase missile lock on range of AA/mobile AA
-Improve hit detection/increase J10 hitbox

Armor
-Cap maximum turret rotation speed

Infantry
-Slower grenade restock from ammo bags
-MG should have a smaller cone of fire, especially when prone
-Increase recover time from going prone: accuracy should be = moving accuracy for a couple seconds before prone bonus kicks in
-Prone infantry should be immune to claymores
-Reduce accuracy of G36E - the medic class is serving the role of the assault class

Just some ideas. I wonder if they will view forums other than the EA BF2 forum

* More PLA map(s) (they have 6 to the MEC's 9)
* Develop a more robust player ID system (any system that will display data OTHER than that associated with the unique PID is inherently unsecure)
* Decrease armor on AH to require 2 static AA missiles to kill (instead of three)
* Decrease explosion size and damage from Mi-28 gun
* Make Mi-28 heavier and less maneuverable (to make up for gun)
* Increase missiles lock range to 450m for static/mobile AA.
* Make missiles behave like actual missiles (real missiles use lead pursuit to predictively intercept their targets. BF2 missiles currently use (at best) lag pursuit and their superior speed to hit a target, which makes the aspect almost useless unless the target is stationary, or heading straight towards/away. Nearly impossible to kill people that way).
* Increase hitboxes on J-10.
* Decrease hitboxes on F35.
* Reduce fighters to 1 bomb (fighters fight airtargets. Bombers take out ground targets).
* Reduce the range of airfield resupply such that fixed-wing aircraft are required to land on the runway to rearm (at least, at best make them taxi to the rearming station).
* Tweak helicopter physics to require at least 50m to complete a full rollover maneuver.
* Increase space in the APC to accomodate a full squad.
* Tweak HMMWV / Vod to accomodate full squad.
* Make Blackhawk guns a little useful.

* Remove grenades from classes that would not carry them (medics, engineers, snipers).
* Increase the number of smoke grenades Assault carries (to 4).
* Increase duration and intensity of smoke grenades (by about 1000%)
* Increase explosive radius on rifle grenades (from 4.5m to 7m; compared to standard grenade range of 9m. Reduce damage slightly)
* Prone to approach and pass claymores.

* Tweak G36E (Needs: less accuracy, less damage, longer reload to be in line with other assault rifles).
* Reduce number of magazines Medics receive from 5 to 3.
* Increase number of magazines Assault receives from 5 to 7 (already on M16, but neither of the AK's)
* Lower maximum range on AT rockets to the length of their control wires (instead of letting the projectiles continue for eternity).
* Make LMG more accurate in prone. Decrease max deviation on M249 / Type 95, increase on RPK-74.

* Make the spec-ops and/or sniper class invisible to the commander sat-sweep (not to UAV or manual spotting).
* Remove jihad jeep (ie, no impact detonation for C4; it's completely stable without a detonator).

*Wishlist*

Add in capability for fastropes.
Fix the remaining crashes.
Remove SF weapons completely.
Give us all the booster pack content.
Make every server play Highway Tampa all the time, forever.
