I've heard talk from at least a few people of a newer update of the 1.3 patch that has come out recently...
Is this a rumor?
Mothers_Helper is the person who last told me of it.
If it is true...is this update "official"?
Please reply,
Adam
There is a newer version, yes, but it is a private beta. Mother's Helper is a member of the testing team that tests this version of the patch. When the newer version becomes stable enough, a second public beta will probably be released.
Can I please help test it?
I am good with coming up with useless suggestions :p
Adam
I don't really have a say in who can and who can't test. I can make suggestions, that is about all I can do. The fnial decision is up to GSH.
Actually I had been wonderiong if there had been a newe 1.3 patch which I
could download
Nope. All of the newer 1.3 patches are being privately tested by the 1.3 testing team. The only way to legally get access to it is to be added to the team, which is GSH's decision.
dont expect it any time soon though. GSH is probaly is still P.O'ed from last time.....so if he does release it it'll probaly under his terms.
I don't blame him Pharoh after the fiasco of what happened the 1.3 patch was released last time
What, the last time saw more action on these forums than there has been for a long time. At least it got some old names back visiting the Boards here. We could have done without the flamers though. They know who they are, but shall stay nameless. However, many of them wish they'd kept their mouths shut now, I'll warrant.
Quote from: DxMaybe by the time GSH is ready to release another patch people will have learned... "If you don't have anything good to say, then don't say anything at all".
I hope so. (keeps fingers crossed)
Or they shall face my SQUIRRELY WRATH (for those who don't know, that's foamy's native tongue)
I personally liked 1.3! I went through the whole single player campaigns without any crashes at all. I do hope GSH releases an update at some stage, but I would like to thank him and all the testers and programmers for keeping this BRILLIANT game going today!
Think of how many of todays games will still be going 5+ years after release?? (NOT many) :?
I am lying,........they did no such thing.
But I agree with tarquin1048 - - after so many years, BZII is still attracting a lot of attention. Three CHEERS for US!
Hip hip horray!

when i downloaded 1.3 yes i was a little disappointed but i did see alot of small features that could be improved but didn't need to like the inertia feture
you could assaing a value between 0 to 4 to the different planets to make it more real so that you don't slide around on a planet that is mostly rock and so you do slide aroun on a desert planet i think that would be cool :cool:
Here's hoping that another 1.3 patch is released... in whatever time frame is neccessary. I love this game, always have and always will. My friends feel much the same way, so I keep it loaded on my LAN computers at all times. We get a wild hair and start playing it from time to time, and of course I just like to play IA and MPI maps when I have a few moments to spare now and then.
Any new changes, improvements, additions to this game would be most welcome. GSH, you got my vote for all your efforts, thanks!

do you know what inertia is?
these are HOVERCRAFT so they HOVER so little friction. therefore they slide in the air. If you want to make a mod, you can change deceleration of a ship, but that would be a mod. If you mean with TREADED units (sentry bumping an ass tank and ass tank going flying...), yes, that isnt right, and it will be fixed.
Hey Cantata! Goood to see ya bro! I saw a few of your posts over on the Star Wars Battlefront forum. What servers do you tend to frequent on SWB?
Hey MowerMan, how are ya? Yeah, I've been blasting the poor slobs in BattleFront since it first came out... what a hoot!
I still lurk around here from time to time, checking on the community and the progress of the game. BZ2 is still my all-time favorite game, and probably always will be. I'm going to check out the G66 mod soon, as I've heard good things about it.
Do you play SWBF at all online? I'm on JASAcademy more often than not, usually in the afternoons (CST), and sometimes at night. I also play on the TAW servers, or failing those, whatever server happens to be jumping... as long as it comes with low pings. It's a faster paced version of BF1942, with better AI.
Good to know the BZ2 community lives on, and the devs still love it as much as we do. It's also good to hear from you, maybe I'll see you on SWBF sometime in the near future. I'll be skulking about here, too.
Happy Holidays!
P.S. Sorry it took so long to reply, I should watch my threads more closely. Later!
If GSH has an open slot for his 1.3 testing team I'd be glad to help for weapons.
Mower...You plinking away in SWBF these days?....well..small world, I actually got SWBF mostly for my 11 year old son(whos damn good at it by the way) and found I couldn't resist a good shoot-out on Hoth myself. I tend to at least be semi capable as a pilot, still mostly blaster fodder as a foot soldier.
Let me know some times and servers when you'll be around and most likely you'll see my butt getting shot off in the SW universe.(But be careful, I'll send my kid after you....
Yeah, I'll playSWBF with ya WarDog bro! Avatar has it too. It would be nice to get on with a few familiar faces (I really suck, but that's never stopped me).
I'll do some BZ2 too (just have to put in a stock 1.2 install).
I have DSL now, so I should be able to connect pretty good.
Here are some SWBF servers I try to play on... when I can get an open slot:
[OSF]May The Force Be With You!
!!ClanCi.com!!30FPS(Recruiting)
AODStompingGrounds
JASACADEMY.COM
These servers are usually running with a lot of players, and the settings are good, ie. Team Atuo-Select On, Team Damage Off (Stops TKers), high ticket counts, etc. Be careful though, sometimes there are a few unsavory characters online who use foul language. You may not appreciate your son being exposed to that, Wardog. Good to see you, too, BTW. I'd love to see some more familiar faces on SWBF, maybe we could run as a small fireteam, assuming we spawn on the same side. If not, it'll be a meeting over gun sights, heh heh. :)
Hope to see you guys out there! Long Live BZ2!!
Mower man has broadband... it's the coming of the apocalypse. :D
No, not yet, we have 543 days left before that happens.
you and your appoclaypse countdown...
its gonna be at leave five years, then we will make a black hole, and it will eat the world.
The universe will be a better place *lol*

Holy Crap Mow-jo! Great news....As a matter of fact, I just had my kid fill out some online resu,e' for Lockeed Martin as a summer intern( this is my daughter who will be just finishing her freshman year at MIT). It's a damn small world.

No no no, it's not going to be five years before we make a black hole, it'll be at least six. And most people aren't that stupid.. damn I hope we get a smart president by then... And we won't put it close enough to Earth to suck our ugly asses in, we will place it right next to one of our many enemies' planets. The Apocalypse is going to happen because the aliens are going to bombard Earth from orbit in 543 days, not everyone will die though, I will survive.. mostly because I joined them and ratted your asses out to them. Duh. :roll: And right before the remaining Humans create the aforementioned black hole I will sneak back onto Earth by riding Luna, (The Moon) down to the surface of our pitiful little planet. At least the Chinese were smart enough to kill me.
thats just stupid :-(

*Mower gets a Bill Clinton types glint in his eye*
Hmmmmmm... Interns.
Been playing SWBF too. Noticed that some players on my team were shooting at me on JASAcademy and so just left. Sure is a lot of fun tho.
