Does the handling of BF2 affect your future purchase of 2142?

Re: Does the handling of BF2 affect your future purchase of 2142?

Here's my situation:

I played the demo for bf2, I had fun.
I bought bf2, I had fun.

Logic dictates that my purchasing habits rely on the resulting factor: Fun. If bf2142 in the demo provides this 'fun' and I see it as a worthy investment, I will buy bf2142. Unlike the general TotalBF2 populace I don't base my judgements on ill-informed rants on companies and games that they in reality know nothing about.

Sorry if that's too much reason for one post.

Since we’re in the sharing mood, allow me to share mine.

Played the demo, like it.
Bought the game, okay few bugs, but still playable. Still like it
Faulty patches, poor support, bug list is getting longer with no end in sight. Started to get annoyed.
Constant crashing, hit boxes not registering, red/blue bug. Fed up, started to play mods.

Though we have similar logic and purchasing habits (play demo+fun= SOLD), sometimes it might backfires. as you can see above, my experience playing bf2 have been on the downslide since it was released.

People base their judgments on experience, and use common sense to stay away or continue to deal with those companies. From the list above, common sense tells me to stay away from buying future bf series.

Here is a reminder for the people waiting to play the demo. Play bf2 with out the patches, then install the patches and play it. It’s like night and day, and the changes are for the worse not better imo.

I’m becoming more pro 2142 these days, why you might ask? I’m hoping all the kiddies (no offense Forest) will convert and leave bf2 forever. Take care and good riddance.

Lol, just watch; as soon as they get to touch the open Beta, they'll all go running out to buy the game.

Re: Does the handling of BF2 affect your future purchase of 2142?

I voted Neutral because it isn't really going to affect my decision to buy BF2142 but it sure has made me look for other options. Unfortunately none of them are exactly what I want so I'm going to stick with the BF series and give 2142 a try.

BF2 used to be one of my favourite games ever when it was pretty stable but since then it's become basically unplayable for me with server crashes, CTDs a lag. I'm still hoping that this is because of DICE Canada and that DICE Sweden will be able to make another great game. Hopefully they will get to patch it themselves this time or even better it won't need patching (yeah I know I'm dreaming).

If BF2142 gets screwed over like BF2 then I'll be pretty sceptical about buying DICE, and to a lesser extent EA products, in the future.

OMFG IT'S BETA

Max_Cavalera, you need to put "I am a 2142 fanboy" in your sig :p

Daruque, there most certainly ARE BH's on Mashtuur.

I put that yes, it will most definately affect my purchase of the game. Like people have said already, i think that it is absurd first of all that you could possibly release a patch that can cause so many tability issues (testing, anybody?) Secondly i think it is absurd that the fix for said issues has taken months and months.

I believe it shows the level of interest that EA/Dice have now got in customer satisfaction. Any company should have its customers as its focus point.. if you dont do that then you'll lose business, as the case is happening here with a lot of people.

I have fun too, It's just that lately the crash to desktop issue just keeps getting worse and worse and im pretty much fed up with EA/DICE. I have tried 5-6 different video drivers, re-installed BF2 about 4 times. Having them announce a patch release date before final testing was actually completed is one of the dumbest things I have ever witnessed. And they deserve every bit of backlash that they are receiving from the BF2 community.

Re: Does the handling of BF2 affect your future purchase of 2142?

I have fun with bf2. After 1.3 I used to have crashes, maybe every other server I joined. A week later everything was fine and I haven't crashed or experienced much trouble since.

Re: Does the handling of BF2 affect your future purchase of 2142?

I was referring to BF2 not the Beta 2142. :p And im rooting for EA/DICE to just fix the crash to desktop issue and I will be set since the rest of the complaints people have for BF2 dont really bother me.

Re: Does the handling of BF2 affect your future purchase of 2142?

Count your lucky stars you havent experienced the constant crashes while trying to join a game to have fun. Unless you have and consider that fun. :laugh: It stops being fun when you have your game crash on you time and time again when your trying to get a game going.

Or, you could do 5 minutes of googling to find out that BF2142 has made things available that a 'mod' for bf2 never could.

I'll wait to see demo ... then ... wait for some patches to be released .. one or two ... then i'll wait for some mods to be ported to bf2142 ... then i'll decide to buy or not to buy ... but the problem is that at that point there will be another bf4212 announced so i'll wait a bit more ... and than all over again :)

Stop with the Bf2 and 2142. THEY ARE TWO DIFFERENT GAMES.

Re: Does the handling of BF2 affect your future purchase of 2142?

Careful.... My thread about EA's handling of BF2 and the subsequent impact to customers of 2142 was deleted by the forum...

I guess someone round here doesnt like negative EA/DICE comments.

And it would appear the thread asking why the original EA/DICE thread was removed has also been removed....

Shockingly bad censorship.
Its an insult to your intelligence to make up your own mind.

Re: Does the handling of BF2 affect your future purchase of 2142?

I'm definetly going to buy 2142....

when I find it in the "Bargain Bin"....

for $10 or less....

Right after the release of BF4242
