Re: 1.4 - The End of BF2?

What really bothers me, is players jumping higher than bullets aimed at em and you miss. I can not imagine in real life situation in Irag for example an Iragi or American running and jumping (Hopping) bullets being fired at em and not miss, but in a game like BF2 or even SF it happens a lot. It really drives me crazy and at the time of the player did his final hops, I am trying to give him the best that it doesn't work, then finding out after that I am changing my mag on the weapon I am using, then I find myself pawned. Also dolphin diving. Your firing at a height, micro second later, you see the guy on the ground aiming at your head at not missing at all. Or you can find yourself throwing a grenade farther than a football field. A MP5 or other does better than a sniper weapon. A tank or vehicle I mean, can go around/ontop a land mine and nothing happens. That is how bad the game can be, but these types of players are making this game that way and pushing decient players away from the game, for themselves. Then they make a ruckess the game is damaged if those been removed or decreased. Dice has to make a patch all the time to make these guys happy, because maybe these guys are the only ones camplaining to them. My days are done on complaining. Got fed up being alone and called a whiner or other, when I make a point across regarding a game. But I had to over come these kinda problems during play and it can be fustrating during each patch. The patch 1.4 been out for one day, and I haven't experienced well enough of these problems yet to know if the problem increased or decreased. Will have to see after a week or two.

Also the game speed is really fast now, that squad or team work doesn't work anymore. Most do lone wolfs now, because everyone is to darn busy running around trying to keep up trying to do best for the team. Me at age 41 is finding it very difficult keeping up at the pace with these young guys. This game is very very fast and you have to think quick. I may join a squad, and follow orders. But I am not able to follow the squad to the mission point, unless I spawn on Squad leader. I still play BF2 and also SF no matter what the problem is, when I can and have to live with what is out there in the game.

Hell Dog, you are only a tad older than me! don't act like you are at the end of your rope. I have found that the game speed issue for the twitch gamers can be countered by us old farts with wisdom/patience and ninja tactics. The twitchers will gun you down in straight up gun fights, but they usually are eyes front and panning left and right with no regard for their rear or elevation. I almost NEVER use a frontal attack and if I do, I usually have a decoy attack to draw fire and then send the main attack force in from the back.

As far as the realism goes in BF2, well, there really is none. BF2 is more inline with a console fps and is therefore way more arcadey. There are several mods coming out that are promising to really remove the arcade aspects of BF2 and move back to a more pure FPS style. I am waiting on Desert Conflict myself. There will be many to choose from though.

Can we have an australopithecus-only mode? The dinosaurs are way over-powered.

Re: 1.4 - The End of BF2?

I have no doubt this is the final patch...at best we might get a hotfix if 1.4 seriously causes some problems. I still think bf2 will live on but ultimately it will be the modding community that will keep it alive. That seems to be the battlefield lifecycle (was the same was with the older series').

EA has a newborn game coming out in just over a month...at best the support for BF2 now is just to keep us appeased until we're ready to buy that.

No way, then it would be way too easy to get the "discovery of fire" badge!:laugh:

Re: 1.4 - The End of BF2?

BF2 could still be the cash cow they envisioned it to be. It still appears that a good portion of the player base wants BF2 to be more realistic. Why is 99% of game accurate, yet the game physics appear ripped from a Quake mod?

Poor ideas were to not provide a more realistic game set.

Splitting up the mapsets, SF and EU specifically not in same servers.

Catering to much to run and gun.

Re: 1.4 - The End of BF2?

Supposedly, this aint the last we've seen of support....

Shack: From a development perspective, are you going to continue to support Battlefield 2 after the release of 2142?

Kristoffer Bergqvist: "We won't abandon BF2. We have a newly created Live team at DICE, and they will be responsible for keeping the game alive, with patching, expansion packs, mod support, and things like that."

http://www.shacknews.com/extras/2006/090506_bf2142_2.x

i wish this is true so ppl that like 2142 can play that and ppl the like bf2 would play because it would still get updated with new fixes and stuff like that
