Battlefield 2 1.03 Patch Announced

EA UK announced in their forums on Friday, that the 1.03 patch for Battlefield 2 is currently in the works. They are targeting the end of August for release of the Battlefield 2 1.03 patch. Here is an except from the posting describing some of the "improvements" they are making. For example, one of the more controversial changes, is adding points for the Special Ops class for destroying enemy artillery, radar, and UAV installations. Some people, namely Special Ops players, think this is a great thing and a long overdue change. Others think it will just lead to that many more people playing an already way over-played class. Personally, I say, just play the game and enjoy it. If you don't like playing with so many Special Ops players, then find another server. Or, if you can't beat 'em, join 'em!

Server and Client performance improvements
Improved Server Browser -– added Favorites and History Lists.
Point-farming prevention - game will stop Support/Medic/Engineer point farming exploits.
Squads - locked squad leader will get a message if someone wants to join.
Many HUD improvements - see the names of others in your vehicle, zoom level changing depending on vehicle, map zoom depending on 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.
