The 1.03 Patch Can Go To The Special Hell

Wow - the 1.03 patch for BF2 is out! Yay! Wait - it lowers the points needed to get ranks! WTF? So much for any sense of purpose or the eventual feeling of accomplishment in gaining a higher rank. Now any 733t n00b that plays the game for a week or so will be a SGT. And don't even get me started on the "no TKs with arty" crap... Yes, I hate being a commander when my idiot troops run into the BIG RED CIRCLES and the themselves killed BUT I always felt that the TK possibility was an important part of deciding where and when to call in fires as a commander.

Thanks a lot EA and DICE for lowering the bar.
