Re: 1.5 Patch Wishlist

What we are wanting is a fix to make this game comparable to 2142; faster load times 3 sec client data verification, necessary teamwork, great unlocks and nearly glitch-less gameplay (If you can overlook the fact that hundreds of players on forums complain about 2142 crashes). But what we need is a little correction so that we can still have fun with a game that was never really 'fixed' although released.

There were some unbalanced things but it seems as though the gaming community saw the patches as a EA having an "Ok, lets just toss up this variable and half this one... yea make this less powerful and decrease accuracy." AKA minimum attention and massive delay of release only to leave many frustrated and further in-game imbalances

'5. Eliminate UAV spotting enemy in buildings..... '

Players want a bit more realism, players need an inside man or the feeling that the people creating patches for this game are actually competitive players and not here as profit makers. This is what is being asked for, not just an extremely revamped BF2 engine with the title '2142', a new account to leave one's 20something odd thousand points or more (fir3start3r hase over 120,000 and I'm sure would not like to leave his domain of Ownag3) for a 50$ pricetag.

We need a better patch but we need a better way to communicate with seemingly deaf ears and blind eyes that some claim as ignorant. We need an official to represent our needs, something more than a thread with 1,050 posts on the same issue.



We need an inside man.

Re: 1.5 Patch Wishlist

The buddylist system has a lot of code there for BF2, I guess it got dropped to rush the game out the door. I'd like to see them add the buddy list system in as well as the comments above regarding 2142. Surely it would be easy to bring all that code into BF2.

Re: 1.5 Patch Wishlist

DEFINETELY:

####1 NERF J10

2. Bring up damage of G36E to more than the M16, but less accurate than the M16. Thus M16 with more power but less accuracy for all nations.

3. Fixthe netcode.

4. Eliminate redlining.

5. Assassination kills. Four points per kill? It could encourage baseraping but it's the commander's job to find a good commander spot.

6. Buff P90, way way up. IRL it would be better than all other guns ingame. Of course that's over the top but let's get higher damage, better accuracy and a one more extra magazine for P90 users.

Re: 1.5 Patch Wishlist

Hey guys, I was bored and I was fishing around the net, and I thought hey why not make a 1.5 patch wishlist. So heres my wishlist, put ur own or whatever lol

*RESTORES*

-Restore all transport choppers back to how they were in patch 1.12 (damage taken, attack power, armour etc).
-Restore the Black Hawk Minigun back to how it was in patch 1.12.
-Restore all mines so that they again explode when shot with C4.
-Restore the Grenade throw back but keep the jumping+throwing (because IO is full of quarter mile throwing grenade fests).
-Restore the Flashbang effect back to how it was in patch 1.12 (its crap now).

*IMPROVEMENTS*

-Allow support to mount their machine gun on to a sandbag or bunker wall with their bipod.
-Engineer ability to defuse all mines sucessfully.
-Laser trip mines sound good but do they really exist? (Special Forces maybe ).
-Maybe a longer throw and rope on grappling hook.
-Allow player to go under water. (Sprint bar = your breath, breath drains quicker when you swim faster, just like above water)
-When you switch teams, that you can enter a squad right away.
-When your invited to another squad while your already in one, without this do the invite twice.
-New maps!!! Maybe a few 1942 remakes (our favorites) like El Alamein, Gazala, Kursk, Kharkov, a bigger Stalingrad, Omaha Beach, Operation Market Garden or Bocage.
-Capture the Flag.
-A way for squad leaders to communicate through VOIP and/or typing on the keyboard, so that they may plan and team together to make cool super huge attacks, or to warn other squad leaders and their squads of other enemies, etc.

*MUSTS*

-Fix the wall glitches in some of the maps
-Fix the damn SRAW so that it no longer flys straight through a vehicle. '

So some of you may not like it, but I think it makes sense, like for the Transport Helicopter for instance, I remember when I just joined my clan when a Blackhawk or the MEC choper came roaring in with guns blazing on Mashtuur City, and how we all ran for cover and got our anti-tanks out and blew the crap out of it, and then we were all like phew! But yeah

And guys, this is TotalBF2, they actually listen to you guys a little bit (how do I know this?, I remain anomynous) so yeah right ur comments down, and if we can get like almost eh whole forums to sigh up on this, theyll do it (again I remain anomynous)

I think one of the "MUST" should be optimizing the graphics and RAM usage.

Take Flatout 2 for example, the game looks amazing, loads super fast, never ever lags on full settings, when you close it it doesn't take ages for your to try and unload the game... if you have Flatout 2 then you'll know what I'm on about.

Now with Battlefield 2 it's another story... the graphics are not as good as Flatout 2 (this really doesn't bother me, but the performance is terrible for the graphics it has). The game takes ages to load, it takes over 1GB RAM on medium/high settings, when you quit game it takes ages to unload from memory.

Don't get me wrong, I love the game. I just think it needs a lot of work on the graphics & performance.

Craig.

Re: 1.5 Patch Wishlist

Why does everyone keep saying nerf the J10? That gets complicated (at least for those monkeys at DICE).

Take a look at the back of your BF2 box and you will see it appears the F18 was originally meant to be on Dalian plant vs the J10

All you have to do is replace F35 aircraft with F18s on J10 vs F35 maps (Dalian Plant, Wake Island). That is an even fight.

This requires just taking out F35 objects from each map and putting in the F18s....no fiddling with lines of code or properties of the jets.

Simple fix, but too hard for DICE it seems.

This issue which has been around for a very long time will never be fixed because they dont want it fixed. They'd rather you dump the game immediately and buy 2142 (which stinks after about 2 weeks)

Re: 1.5 Patch Wishlist

Has anyone here been around long enough to remember what happens when EA releases a patch for BF2? They are for some reason unable to fix anything in this game without causing a catastrophic problem in the process. This isnt oppinion, this is what actually happened on more than one occasion. Remember the server side crash?

There have been many posts saying how to make this game better, the honest truth is EA hasnt supported this game like they should have from the get go. The game is "functional" and I use that term relectantly, and I for one am personally afraid of letting them mess with the game at all at this point.

With all due respect...Can someone please lock this since it's like whipping a dead horse?

appologies to the original poster for my last incorrect comment. after researching this further. It appears there may in fact be a 1.5 coming out after all and from what I heard it might be substantial and comprehensive to our requests... All I can say is wow, if EA makes this patch the way they should, ill change my avatar and buy command and conquer 3. because up until now, i havent touched any EA title based on how they handled bf2.

Re: 1.5 Patch Wishlist

I think that EA should take suggestions from the players of BF2. Also make public the web address of the web site where we can all go to list our suggestions or vote on the ones we want.

I personally would like to see the kits evened out and made more fair but please dont take away from anything. Instead boost up the things that are weak because they have been nerfed and are useless now. There is no way that a hand tossed granade should be more powerful, with a larger blast radius, than the granade launcher one. Equal maybe? Anyway I hope that they get it right this time. . . . . . . .Red

Re: 1.5 Patch Wishlist

If all the Kits were even then what would be the difference of having different kits? They might as well just have items spawning on the ground that we could pick up and use as we needed.

The whole point of the difference in Kits is to enjoy the playstyle a particular Kit offers.

Do you really expect a Medic to be as tough as an Assault trooper? Hello, ASSAULT tropper! The Medic, just like all the other Kits, are very important to the survibility of each member of their unit. But, they don't belong on the front lines in the direct fire. You have to play to the strengths of the Kits. That is the fun of playing them. If they were all balanced, then why have them? Besides if you need something different all you have to do is pick up a Kit on the ground.

One change I would like to see is the Kits on the ground not changing everything you have. You should be able to search through the Kits and take what you want. Switching Kits back and forth works ok, but it would be nice to grab and go, use and discard what you don't need.
