Re: 1.4 15th August Confirmed
heres the problem..
the WHOLE problem with what everything EA does and has done..
RANKED servers.
MANY other games I have played keep stats.. Was there ever a need for
them to be 100% official stats? NO. And lets face it, stats in this game
MEAN NOTHING. ZERO. NADA. NILCH. I slaughter people who are ranked
higher than me all the time, and I get slaughtered by people who are less
than me..
If we didnt have this RANKED SERVER bullcrap, we would all be enjoying
new map after new map after new map, and new wep after new wep after
new wep, allllll time time. Modders woiuld release packs (as they have now..)
that we could all play and not have to worry about getting our stats counted.
Its a total joke, if you ask me. I have no clue what EA was trying to do when
they came up with this ranked server b.s. other than possibly making a buck
or two off of it.. OR getting game server companies to give them FREE servers
Take Unreal Tournament for a GREAT example. UT is the most played online
player game of all time. BAR NONE. Sure its a differant game, but thats not
the point.. its a team first person shooter just like BF2.. but there are
thousands and thousands of maps for this game.. skins, vehicles, mods, weps,
etc etc etc on and on and on.. keeping the game FRESH...Giving the players
choice after choice every day..all the while it keeps your stats. And the stats
that UT keeps are WAY more detailed than EA has provided.
The RANKED SERVER is a disgrace to this game..The whole system should be
done away with, and let people play differant things anytime they wish.. A
stat system can still be in place and even ranks at certain levels.. just like
in other games..
In all honesty, the ranked server is a scheme to get EA more money and
free servers. We've all fell into it..its a first in the gaming industry (that I
know of..) having differant types of servers.. and we pay MORE for it..
i.e. ranked servers cost more to rent than unranked.. EA just wants to
release map packs every now and then to get some more money out of us
all the while we play the same ole maps over and over and over the same ole
way, the same silly server rules.. i.e. (12 more players before game starts..)
Ive ran at least 100 game servers in my time, and never have I seen anything
like this in all my days.. it should be done away with..
will it? of course not. EA wants to get 10 bucks from us every couple months
so we can get 2 new maps, 2 new weps, and we can all feel tingly inside
about having something differant to shoot...blah...all the while, 50 new maps
for other games come out daily..all free, all customizable, some good some
bad, but the choices keep their game fresh.
I wish EA would take a page from EPIC and learn how to really release a
game...really support it...instead of trying to coherse everyone into buying
more and more of the same ole crap every 2 months..
And for God sakes, hire some decent programmers.. 1 year to fix this amount
of bugs is ridiculous.

Thanks you whiney noobs.
Kills it? Hmm I think it fixes it. No more "flopping around like a fish" lamer movements for you.

Re: 1.4 15th August Confirmed
Any news is good news. And I look forward to what has changed. Shame that we can't change some of those people who call others names in BF2 but we can't have a patch for that one. Hope that patch will go well and all enjoy playing the game. Take it you are not happy SLR but I bet you still play the game
