Community Update (6/16) - EXCLUSIVE

Re: Community Update (6/16) - EXCLUSIVE

Watch. In open beta they won't get real bug reports, but people sending in:

- The J-10 keeps killing me! Fix it!
- The chopper keeps killing me!
- I can't toss the C4 6 feet!
- The people are dolphin diving! It's bugged!
- A guy turned around and shot me! Add something to prevent hackers!
- red/blue tags!

People will file bugs for every other thing that's not directly introduced by this 1.3->1.4 fix. This is why companies don't like to do open betas.

Re: Community Update (6/16) - EXCLUSIVE

These guys have been impressing me latelly, return of free content is something everyone will defenitly love and i can say that this is a very good step in the right direction for EA/Dice.

well done EA/DICE ur finally getting the point :laugh:

Remember, it maybe free for us, but it will make more people buy the original game. Not sure how about the numbers, but if there are people on the fence that hear of some new features/gameplay/content then some people WILL buy it.

Re: Community Update (6/16) - EXCLUSIVE

Has it been turned over to dice sweden so it could possibly be patched correctly? I have ZERO faith that dice canada could write enough good code to fill an index card.

Afraid not, DICE Sweden have not been involved in BF2 for a long time, and thats why BF2 will never work properly ever again. DICE Canada are complete and utter amateurs and could never fix the things they've broken in this game even if there were no time constraints at all and they could work on it forever. The truth is that DICE Sweden will be busy with the 2142 Beta, and DICE Canada, after completing the final nail in the coffin for BF2 with their 1.4 patch, will move on to creating bugs,..i mean content for 2142.

And so the quantity-over-quality bug-infested EA/DICE satanic pact continues....

Re: Community Update (6/16) - EXCLUSIVE

....Well, I've got good news, and bad news.

OK.

Which do you want first?

The good.

EA/Dice has acknowledged that BF2 will recieve a patch with public testing.

Sweet. The bad?

Dice canada will be the crew turning the user found bugs into playable code.

:cry:

In their defence: they were handed code they didn't develop, who's faults that then?

Re: Community Update (6/16) - EXCLUSIVE

I'm not trying to change your mind, I'm trying to explain to you why you proved my point.

Looks look I did too.

Good riddance.

You have proved nothing except your narrow mindedness. I did not say that I didn't support this game in the past which is what you seem to be fixated on but I will continue to do so no more.

Wow congratulations on supposedly proving your point on a gaming forum, you should be so proud.

oh god...
ur right, theres enough whining bellends in this thread saying "no j10 fix??!??"
lets hope theyre only allowed to post in a forum thread and not able to email regarding their so called bugs.

btw, red/blue tags are a bug so are valid :P

Re: Community Update (6/16) - EXCLUSIVE

Bitter sweet was what Gimpy posted in our forums about this news and I couldn't agree more. I also agree 100% with what you have said MiSh. If they have found the cause of the server crashes we need a fix now!

Server owners have been the ones who have by far been screwed over with patch 1.3. Its not costing the average pubber any money but it is costing the server owners big dollars from server crashes. The average pubber gets inconvenienced, the server owners get mad that money is going down the drain. We have a lot more at stake in this game than the average pubber.

We need a hotfix NOW to atleast address the server crashes. If they included the anti-cartillery fix then that's a bonus as well but the server crashing if it can be fixed needs to be fixed now not 4,5,6+ weeks in the future, which would mean we have to put up with the current state of server crashes for 2 months or more, that is not acceptable.

A lot of server owners are on the verge of pulling the plug and a lot have already left. If a lot do pull the plug the average pubber will be affected greatly. They will be forced to play on the limited EA official servers, with no admins and have to put up with all the tards that specifically play on these servers because they know there never are any admins. The limited number of servers would mean it may take a long time to actually find an empty slot to be able to play.

The bottom line is whilst there is some good news there and it is encouraging I don't believe EA and DICE are doing the right thing by server owners by making us put up with these server crashes for any longer. We need a mini hotfix now for atleast the server crashing issue.

LOL, don't forget

- Spawn Campers! Reset their stats!
- Artillery keeps killing me! It's bugged!
- The guy with the PKM keeps killing me! It's too powerful!
- I can't kill enough people with the PKM! Un-nerf it!
- The AA missiles are too accurate!
- The AA missiles aren't accurate enough!
- Too many snipers!! Have a kit limit in the game, especially for the other team!

I'm fairly certain that they worte the code for BF:V, rather than being handed code.

On a positive note, maybe we'll get that soldier worn mini gun from predator in this patch if I complain enough about not having it.

I'm truely hoping for the best. I'm gonna go play some BF2.

Re: Community Update (6/16) - EXCLUSIVE

I'm hoping the cartillery fix is making it so that cars can only be dropped upon request of the squad leaders.

e.g. remove the option from the general right-click menu of the commander, he can only click a yellow vehicle drop icon and accept or decline (and that's how it should be for ALL commander assets IMHO)

i've actually had people request cartillery on sharqui. they spammed it on the mec chopper pad while i was commander.

I agree...we need a 1.31 next week. Fix the server crashes and that'll keep those rank server subscriptions up.

I wonder if anyone can show that there's been a decline in ranked servers in the last month?

Re: Community Update (6/16) - EXCLUSIVE

VALVE, ID, UBISOFT and probably more...

Speaking of bellends, at least two of those are developers not publishers...

lol.
