Re: How bad was that patch messed up?

I'm putting money that everyone gets into a panic tomorrow about the patch coming and post like 500 times about wheter the patch comes...Then at 1000 PST you hear a loud cry as the patch is not released yet.

Jokes on you. THat was last week.

Re: How bad was that patch messed up?

I am certain that they found new bugs. I work in the business, and it happens. Of course they won't admit that...it makes them look bad. Let them fix and test the patch for as long as they want. Personally, I am satisfied with 1.3 despite the crashes. I can wait.

Re: How bad was that patch messed up?

You might be right, we are averaging about three locked threads a day about "1.4 coming out xxxx".

Re: How bad was that patch messed up?

Personally, aside from the red tag bug, the initial release was my favorite version. BUT, too many people wanted certain aspects re-worked and toned down. Once EA/DICE started down that road, it was too late to turn back. Every subsequent attempt at undoing what had been done prior just led to more code issues and newer bugs.

Lesson of all of this should be that when you introduce something as NEW as what BF2 introduced, you should get your gameply feedback in large BETA tests and not from the whole community AFTER initial release.

1.4 should be the final patch so that EA/DICE can turn the corner and devote their full attention to BF2142 and other future titles. That way, if there is any other issues that need patching, the mod community can patch up and get it right!

I would have to say probibly..eh..in the long run, one of the later patches, but before 1.3, was a tad better, especially with tweaks to loading, cacheing, and fixes of other bugs. Though I agree that they have tried to add some things, that have in a sense backfired, or made some things too powerful, but unfourugnatly that is the fact of devolpment, as well as deadlines. No one game is ever going to be perfect for everyone, but it is possible to make it as close to that barrier. The other thing that has seemed to prevent this is the fact that DICE has had deadlines that were imposed by EA to push out patches and such, but that is the facts of life...I'm personally hoping with 1.4 that the game will be at a resonable point between the two extremes, and also be playable.

Quoted for Truth. I really cant play BF2 anymore. My last day of playing BF2 in my tournament, I came up with 5 reasons why we switched to POE2 the next day. Here's some.

1. EVERY CLASS that people use seems to be a grenade fest.

2. That was also the only day I've EVER gotten the Red Tag Insect. I was killed 30 times, and some peoples scores at the end of the round were -15.

3. The splash damage of a grenade 10 feet away from you will only slightly damage you, while a 25 MM round from an APC at the same distance on a wall, will kill you in 5 seconds.

4. The M95, being a GINORMOUSLY powerful gun, can snipe through glass and kill someone very accuately, but when you turn it on foot soldiers, it turns into a paintball battle. The person gets hit, says I'm out!, and leaves without a scratch.

5. It still takes 2 rounds to kill a tank, WHILE SHOOTING ITS TREADS.

6. J10 v F35. EA claims they cant fix it, but a lone soul messes around with the tweak file of the F35, and air battles between them turn into war flight simulators.

7. Repair Points! A lone peasant says, please sir, may I have some more. DICE replies, MOOOREE?

I'de like to point out on the issue with the red tag bug, is that many of those issues arrise, when servers use auto switching enabled on there servers, as well as pointed to netcode issues.....

Re: How bad was that patch messed up?

I can see them releasing the next patch and its going to be huge!!! It comes up alot that this will be the last patch before BF2142 comes out. That is where there man focus is at. As for bugs the only ones I really care about is the Name tag bug, The crashing issue, The lagg issue (since 1.3, the first five minutes of a round is painfully lagging,*some say pb issue but i have updates and all* and the loading/verification has increase horribly. There are other bugs but these ones drive me nutz.

Um, thats the stupidest :censored: Ive ever read. EA :censored:'ed this game up so badly they should just call it quits, make another new title that will suck just as much and then have everyone buy it? WTF are you some kind of EA fanboy?

EA and DICE need to get it right with BF2, fix the damn game. 1.4 better not be the last patch, and to hell with 2142.

Im getting sick of all these people saying, buy 2142, it'll be much better....BS...2142 is a freaking MOD. Same engine, same bugs!

Fanboy? Hardly. I suggest you slow down and read slower. The point of my statement is that IF EA/DICE move on from BF2, then MAYBE, the MOD teams will be able to put out patches to FIX the problems. The guys that made DC did this, the guys that made FH did/do this. I could care less about you shelling out any more money for any other title from EA. Personally, I think you should take that money and take a communication course from your local community college. That way you won't make a fool of yourself by completely missing the point of an argument and attacking someone on your side.

Re: How bad was that patch messed up?

EA already made themselfs look bad by saying they have a "fix" for the CTD problem and not releasing it in a hotfix 3 months ago.
(EA deleted the community update about it too)

Colin is our community Manager, it would be nice to get a weekly update about 1.4, it wouldn't have to be much info just enough to show the community that hes trying to get us some info.

I know hes busy with BF2142 but he shouldn't forget about BF2.
