Coop - Becoming SL of Bot squad

Dear All,

move this if it is in the wrong area of the forums.

I am unable to become SL of a squad full of bots in the new Coop mode. I get an ingame message asking me to press pageup if I want to be SL but it never works.

Does anyone have a fix for this?

Thanks,

Scandicci

This is a bug from where BF2 was patched to 1.5, it effects all BF2 mods.

SP Co-op (LAN) - I've read the manual a couple times and I cannot figure out how step by step how to get Artillery / Area Attack. I use the LT. kit with the radio and set the distance then I use the binoculars to request an LGB or LGM but then no response from the commander, is there a commander in the SP Co-op (LAN) version?

1.5 patch broke the bot commander artillery.

If you want to lead a bot-squad, create a new squad and invite bots to it. They'll join you, regardless if they're in a squad or not.

Thank you, After Dune. I had thought of that but never tried it. Perfect.

Thanks Killer 2354,

(SP Co-op) Just to clarify BF 1.5 patch has disabled the bot commander from issuing artillery in SP Co-op mode even if I am squad leader? If so, when will this be fixed?

Second can I use artillery in SP Co-op if I command the bot team?

Correct.

Maybe if you send dice a nice mail? :-P

Unfortunately, you can't use artillery in 'pure sp' anymore, you need one human player to spot, one human player to be commander.

It sucks that the simplest things get screwed with a new 'patch', but that's beyond our control.

You just create a squad and then click manage squad. Invite whatever PRSP names there are and voila you have a squad!

Interesting, the pressing Page Up works fine for me, the bots are still dumb but at least Im in charge!
