Community Update (6/16) - EXCLUSIVE

Re: Community Update (6/16) - EXCLUSIVE

Ever heard of a hotfix to simply address the crashing servers? Obviously not and neither has EA.

Yes, I have, and it doesn't change my view of waiting for a good patch. Even if they released a rushed "hotfix" it might not do anything, it might be worse, or it could be better, point is still I'd rather wait and hope they get it right, than have them rush and get it wrong. If it still sucks when it finally comes out, than it will only solidify my never buying another EA product. The game has been screwed over enough because all the complaining to hurry and fix things that didn't need fixing, now people would rather them rush another fubar patch so what, you can complain some more?

Obviously none of you have your own servers that you are paying for only to have it crash all of the time, if you did then you would be saying something different. I really hope that server owners like me get frustrated enough to cancel their server so all of you are stuck playing on rubbish EA servers.

This is a very interesting bit of news.
Seems EA has managed to wake up and smell the coffee that they poured down their pants.

I'm looking forward to seeing what they have in mind as a Cartillery nerf.
I'm thinkin randomizing drop location a bit.

I really havent seen much of this.....not any more than I saw with any previous patch. I do feel for you guys though!! I know its quite frustrating.....I would still rather have them take their time on the patch than to rush it out.

Re: Community Update (6/16) - EXCLUSIVE

This is a joke right - a public beta?
Those never work - how are you supposed to get any info out of them???
The Betatesters for Bf2 patches have always picked up on the bugs in the patches - the reason the patches are still bugged is because they are not fixed. A final patch is released for testing, a bug report is submitted and it is released anyway :O
That is the problem.

Wow, Im impressed, has DICE finaly decided to stop abusing its community ?
If this patch will work out to be good, I take my hat off before them and take back every nasty word I ever said about DICE.

Hope for the best.

If you could view the Server Owners section of this forum then you would see what I mean.

Re: Community Update (6/16) - EXCLUSIVE

Shame any news took so long, maybe because they just found the crash fix :/

The Open Beta is great news IMO, although I especially feel for the Server owners who have to wait so long for a fix.

Reducing the number of players required to start a game is begging to be exploited by stat padders.

Re: Community Update (6/16) - EXCLUSIVE

would someone please explain how an open beta is good news?
because all it is public relations - DICE are pandering to the community's individual ego, everyone loves to be involved in something

THIS. WILL. NOT. WORK.
The problem lies
1. With the actual response of DICE to patch bug reports where they ship them at 'acceptable' level of bugs
2. With DICE's lack of a centralised game vision. The team decides rather than a single minded individual. That's why we see for example the A10 in AF gets no armour, no rockets, a weak main gun, just 4 bombs or the Grenade Launcher gets deviation, time delay, a bounce, a weaker explosion, an incorrect reticle. All these are individual proposals that a team came up with rather than have an intelligent individual/leader with a focused vision for Battlefield decide this is how it will be and it will work

Re: Community Update (6/16) - EXCLUSIVE

This sounds bad, the last patch for Star Wars Battlefront was a public beta that never made it as a full patch. It came out right before SWBF2 and they just dropped SWBF1 like a red headed step child.

Re: Community Update (6/16) - EXCLUSIVE

The idea of a public beta sounds great but it also sounds like the last official patch for BF2 so I hope it all works OK

Re: Community Update (6/16) - EXCLUSIVE

taking care of the karkand new exploit with the vehicle drop as to be fixed pretty soon too, just a bit ago a game lasted ages just because 2 exploiters were inside the hotel, we had no more flags, and no one on the team would vote to kick them...
