EA today
revealed that we will have to wait a week or 2-3 longer for the BF2 v1.2 patch, caused by some community concerns which had to be addressed first. The delay unfortunately also results in the Euro Force booster pack being pushed back to mid/end February. Good news is that the the Red/Blue nametag bug has been addressed, as well as increased distance for hand grenades, ammo packs, and health packs, turrets will no longer pass through walls, and and last but not least tank/grenade launcher projectiles will less frequently vanish during online play.
