Only the default (TGN Light) theme for now. Dark them is also coming back soon. Then CSN. Then Wrestlin' Nation. A lot of WIP stuff right now. There are a couple of things still not working either. Sorry.
I could careless about free content or maps.. the maps they shipped with the game dont even work properly yet.............that is all i have to say about it oh yea and WTF
You people arent realizing something. Most people, including myself, think it is a fine map. However, this does not change the fact that EA dug up a 2 year old map, pasted Intel ads on EVERYTHING. and released it as new. There is/was proof of this.
When they stop listening to stupid whiners and unnerf the Blackhawk and other things maybe the comunnity wil start to respect them again, untill then..
I have never bought a game EXPECTING some FREE content to be included . I know what I am buying and what is inside the box. It is nice if they fix the bugs that are in the game but I don't EXPECT them to include any "Free content" as in new maps or weapons to any game
Pick up any of the games from 1995-2002 and tell me the difference between the CD/DVD version and the latest.
Just because you've been ***-raped for the last 4 years in terms of support does not mean that what you see holds true.
And growing up with awesomeness like Quake, or rather, ID software, and HL/Valve, and UT/Epic, I think I'll keep demanding free ****, considering that's the least they gave throughout that time.
The past 4 years (aka EA's venture into the non-crappy sports games) have brought sweet f*ck all from the mainstream developers.
The way I see it, this game is far from dead.
I paid for Vanilla,SF,EF and AF and I still enjoy playing it. I play almost every night and no other game has had that kind of hold on me. People moan and complain about Ea or DICE (and I'm NOT pointing fingers at anyone) regarding Support or Patches but to me, each patch has, in its own way, refreshed the game for me by tweaking it slightly. Each round I play is brand new for me because of us lot, the players that make it enjoyable and oh so unpredictable. This new map is a bonus as far as i'm concerned, its another extension to an already massive game. As for the adverts, are you kidding? I don't get time to look at adverts in a round!! I'm FAR too busy running around like a headless chicken
If youve made a massive ammount of money by buying a company that used to care about the community it was making games for, the least you could do is to support that company in their venture of keeping the gaming community happy and satisfied.
If youre running a company and you need extra funds to make bigger projects go live, the least you could do is to make sure you will not be assraped in the process.
If you have any selfrespect left, at least youve got a spine, stand the fvck up.
Now that this has been said, saying "thank you" to DICE for releasing a 2 year old beta map that was launched thanks to extra green sent by Intel is what I would call- pathetically hilarious. If you guys rank this as community support, Im going to call a specialist here because a lot of you are suffering from the Stockholm syndrome.
I see what you mean Chris, but surely then the only way around it would be to open up the ranking structure to any map, made by anyone. This would obviously mean a shake up of the whole ranking structure, maybe binning the stats on map use.

Cant be done. The way the system is created, it doesnt really favour anyone except for EA and DICE and their wallets. What youre looking at is milking the cow.
Abandoning the whole ranking system altogether will create a situation where people would be genuinely interested in playing for fun, because every game in an unranked server or an unranked map means "playing for nothing". I hope you know what I mean.
You abandon stats sh!t, you get people playing all sorts of community maps, no need for any EA/DICE support whatsoever, except for patches.
Either that or people go over to some kind of ABR. I enjoy playing the game as it is (honestly :) ) and looking at my stats every now and then is part of that enjoyment, as it is for lots of players. Given the chance to transfer my stats to some kind of ABR for the sake of playing untold new maps, i'd jump at it :)
I quickly found out that stats made me play without enjoyement. You can get such great gameplay in unranked servers, its not even funny. Altered map content without downloading a single extra map, just to keep the existing map pool interesting. Altered vehicle spawns. Altered ticket count. IO was possible way before there was even talk about it.
If it wasnt for supervised servers, patrolled stats system and stats system altogether, BF2 would have been a different game.
In the end the map was not free, DICE/EA had to be payed by intel to make it..yer really shows their love for the community if all they give is a buggy editor, pointless patches that only cause more issues and maps that are 2 years old.
