Here are just a few of the fixes you can expect to see in the 1.03 patch:

-Squads - locked squad leader will get a message if someone wants to join.
-Many HUD improvements - see the names of others in yourvehicle, zoom level changing depending on vehicle, map zoom dependingon map setup (16, 32 or 64 player map) etc.
-Teamkilling changes – the logic of how teamkills are tracked will be changed.
-Gameplay tweaks - the way transport helicopters work will be tweaked.
-Additional scoring changes - players who destroy an enemy commander's assets will be given points.
-There are over 140 fixes and improvements in the 1.03 patch and we'relooking forward to everyone moving to 1.03 to get the best Battlefield2 experience on a level, cheat-free playing field.

We also know that there is still an issue with availability ofslots on Ranked Servers. We're all delighted that this new feature hasbeen so popular, but we know that many of you are finding it hard toget onto a ranked server, especially at peak times. We are taking bigsteps and investing heavily to ensure that everyone can experience thisside of Battlefield 2. New official servers have gone up in Europe andthe U.S. this week and you will see many more going up in the comingweeks. Our vision is to make sure you never have to wait to get onto aranked server.

Thanks for being such great fans of Battlefield 2. We've beenlistening to you and we're determined to make Battlefield 2 the bestonline shooter experience out there. We hope you like the changes thatare coming.

Hmm, where have I seen these features before? Oh, yeah, in the Previous TWO BF games!

It boggles my mind how they have to go back and ADD IN features that were either in the prior games origionally, or had been patched in due to complaints... And most of the rest of the listed changes should have been in place out of the box as well.

-Gameplay tweaks - the way transport helicopters work will be tweaked.

Hmm, looks like they be nerfing the Bhawk and probably mid-flight repairs. Looks like I'd better log as much time in it before the changes go into effect.
