More Info at:
This petition is for Electronic Arts and the developers of Battlefield 2 and its expansion/booster-packs to rework the changes made in the 1.2 patch and to fix already established bugs which was previously promised. Also, in the meantime, we ask for a recall of the current 1.2 patch until a balanced, fair and less buggy version can be developed.
By signing this petition, The Undersigned strongly support any or all of the 10 below mentioned changes/fixes, and agree to both of the above mentioned demands. They also hereby declare that their pleasure in playing the game has greatly reduced since the introduction of the new patch. In addition, the below mentioned people sign this petition to demonstrate that there is opposition to parts of the 1.2 patch, and that EA should further investigate what changes should and should not be made to the game.
Changes/fixes which the community wants include the blow mentioned criteria:
1. Fixing of the name color bug which causes players to teamkill eachother.
2. The allowance of throwing of health and ammo packs while jumping.
3. Since covering long distances takes too long without being able to bunny hop, there should be an increase in the amount of sprint available by at least 50\%.
4. Reduce the lock-on and damage of AA and and plane missiles to no more than +15\% higher than what they were in the 1.12 version of the game.
5. Allow jumping and shooting for all guns, but increase self-damage or self splash-radius of the grenade launcher (AKA noob tube) so that its use in close quarters is counterproductive in that it will definitely kill the person shooting it but not necessarily the person being shot at (unless a direct/close hit).
6. Either return armor of attack helicopters back to what it was in the 1.12 version , OR give the chopper back its 14 missiles.
7. Makes flares on air vehicles work again.
8. Destroying a friendly UAV should give team vehicle damage point deductions.
9. The overbearing power of armor versus infantry should be counterbalanced by making C4 and helicopters once again a formidable threat.
10. Mines should activate faster so that they cannot be driven over without detonating.
The motivation behind this petition:
From reading the posts on many forums, asking for changes to the 1.12 version of the game, it can be determined that overwhelming majority of the people who were outspoken about making helicopters less powerful and about the elimination of C4 tossing are primary users of Tanks, and/or unskilled players wanting an advantage against their primary enemy.
It is the suggestions of these players which has had a profound impact on the design of the 1.2 patch. The rest of the community which was happy with most of the 1.12 settings was not surveyed, and their silence was incorrectly interpreted as indifference to such changes. By forming generalizations from a small sample size of players, the pilots and many Spec Ops players in Battlefield 2 were not considered. In addition, the bias of the outspoken players who did voice their opinions was not taken into account. Their motives were in many cases to make their favorite vehicle as close to invincible as possible. When EA attempted to balance the game further, these dilemmas were not considered and now make for an unbalanced and less enjoyable gameplay.

- All but the nerfs to vehicles were good fixes. Without an effective air force, this game loses legitimacy to its claim of "modern warfare". Name me one modern combat theatre where aircraft or offshore bombardment did not form the backbone of any preemptive assault. Betcha cant do it.

- The game was perfect the way it was before but was changed to make it easy for the new people to compete. They should take the time to learn the game instead of making us all change.
