    Re: EA flamers, STFU!

    I am not one for bitching... but this is just one more snafu in BF2 to add to the hundreds before it.... Who knows they may fix it and if they don't, I guess they will loose some customers support. Not everyone plays only for stats however but lets face it when people see that there time and effort is for nothing and what I mean by nothing is when they realise there are no new unlocks, or ranks, or points etc. people will leave and move on. Some of the dedicated and hard core will stay just for the game play but, game play in BF2 is only half the battle. Everyone likes the sence of accomplishment that the stats bring, knowing you can work tward a goal or at least see your progress makes you come back for more.. and for that reason alone I understand why everyone is upset at the moment.

    Peopel who have been working tward unlocks over the last week or so and gaining points toward rank etc. have been playing for nothing as most of the points are not registering. That is disapointing, I have many a friend who is still under the rank of 1st Sgt and they are really updset because all the points they have gained in the last week are most likley lost in cyberspace. Upset because they have invested time and effort and recieved nothing in return. Most of them did not even know the stats servers were down untile a week or so of the stats not updating. You would think at lest EA would post it in game so everyone had an Idea of what was going on.

    I mean come on people we went years without any stats problems and now we run into some major road blocks. I guess we will just have to wait and see what happens in the next weeks. But lets face it there really hasn't been that much feedback or updates to the progress of EA's attempts at fixing the problems and without feedback or official information the rumors run wild and that is were we stand now and everyone knows it's the rumors that add fire to the flam as the original poster pointed out.

    Nuff said ....

      uh what game have you been playing? have you missed all of the stats threads made over the years, people not getting badges, missing points, the private bug, etc...

        Guys, seriously, dont rush. Even with all the moaning and b!tching going around, there are a few of us who actually hold their breath so that the problem is unfixable, the stats system collapses and wont be returned back to life so that people could once again enjoy gameplay filled with selfless, pure, simple fun.

        As for the OT, if you would have been playing the game throughout its whole lifetime, you wouldnt have said what you said right now.

          Of course, people will complain.

          But did you live through 1.3?

              I think you should of sided with DICE.
              EA is the problem causer, not DICE.
              DICE got rushed by EA and that's why we have SO MANY problems still in BF2.
              It's really not DICE's fault for what has happened, but it is somewhat DICE's fault on the part of helping the communtiy out in the easly days of BF2, when BF2 when from awesome and fun to bad and unfun.
              DICE could of reponed more and explained things out more, but they didn't.
              They are trying to make up for it now, but I think it's too late.

                That's what people said a year ago thinking BF2 was "dying." Well look where we are at now, it's still alive and well, maybe too for the next one or two years :)

                  still alive?
                  WE ARE LIMPING!!
                  BF2 at it's prime had about 6,000 or 5,000 servers runs, along with SF (with about 2,000 servers) and EF and AF had about 50 servers each.
                  Now what?
                  BF2: only about 2,000 or less servers
                  SF: only about 30 or 40
                  EF and AF: About 10 or less each
                  BF2 is in the Sh-t, and it will not be able to least another year.
                  Most likely, the BF2 mods will get more servers, BF2 in it's self with be no more and the BF2 mods will win.

                    Re: EA flamers, STFU!

                    Game-Monitor as of right now reports:

                    Over 5000 BF2 servers
                    Over 300 BF2:SF servers
                    Over 60 BF2:EF servers

                    It does not have a list for BF2:AF servers, but it's most likely to be over 60 since that booster packs seems to be more popular than BF2:EF.

                      Well, i have been playing BF2 since it first came out. If you look at my stats, they say 14/06/2006, but i did have a previous account. So yea, i have seen all the patches, and whilst some of the stuff they did wasn't great, i think overall they have done a relatively good job.

                      That is one thing that has annoyed about the current situation, we don't get told frig all. It so good just to hear something even if it is just the same message said differently. By not saying anything you simply leave the problem open to speculation.

                      You think a company, that generates $2.951 Billion USD a year is going to change their operations for an entire month? You think they might risk potential cash from future sales to fix BF2 for nothing. Don't keep your hopes up!

                      See, thats good to know! Just simply keep us up to date with small feeds ok?

                      Who the hell are you to tell people what they enjoy? I find that half the fun is playing with the stats system.

                        And as for the EA not fixing that stat system even tho they are getting paid is ridiculous, look at FH2,USI,PR an so on all the great mods that are coming out and are out already, they are doing all that for FREE,nada, nothing and look at what ea are doing with paid jobs..
                        Wow dude, beautiful posting right here! Amazing, brilliant, A++! Haha:salute:


                        This is exactly the point, I've had BF2 since the day it was released and each patch, EA/Dice just couldn't get it right and still hasen't gotten it right but their a company with HUGE profit gains, you would think if they cared at all, the game would be far better than what it is. EA flaming is much more beyond stats, stats are just another reason to add to the list, with EA's B.S. saying a lot of servers are recording stats yet I can't seem to find a handful, actually, not even one.

                        You think a company, that generates $2.951 Billion USD a year is going to change their operations for an entire month? You think they might risk potential cash from future sales to fix BF2 for nothing. Don't keep your hopes up!
                        Hey, guess what his point to that is. . . NOT ASKING EA TO DO IT, but the fact that this company that makes almost 3$ billion a year SHOULD do it if they truly care for their customers. Guess what? EA will gradually decrease, most likely slowly, but will decrease in strength over time because of their horrible community support. They don't get it, they'll never get it because their the axis of evil in the gaming community. Quite franquely, I don't plan on buying any more FPS's from EA, I can find elsewhere (a.k.a CoD4) .. The only thing EA will ever get my money on again is Madden Football, thats all.

                              :cry:

                              Thank god morons like you play the game, eh? If you played the game since it first came out you missed the best part of it, which was stat-less Demo.

                              Have you ever been a regular on an unranked BF2 , frequented it more than you have a ranked server? If not, I feel genuinely sorry for you. Stats are the sole reason why people are being genuine as*holes towards each other. Stats mean selfishness, stats mean "me me me" play. Stats also mean stupid e-penis wars. Its so pathetically sick to watch kids brag about their medals/ribbons/whatnot over the server. Stats make mods limp. If you dropped stats right now, more than 50% of the players would flee, but the experience on the servers would be better, and thats a quarantee.

                              You will not appreciate the damage the stats do to the game on a daily basis, until youve played statless game and seen how far will players go to help the team win the game, and how much simple humanity in game can make you smile and enjoy the fragging even more.

                                I didn't say i was a complete and utter stat whore, in fact im quite the opposite. Whilst i do enojoy collecting stats i also play a lot of mods, namely Desert Combat, Sandbox, DSB and BF2:Aus. And yes, i do play on unranked servers, but not as much as ranked servers obviously. Being in a clan i find there is plenty of teamwork that goes on, and in our server, one of the rules is that everyone has to be a member of a squad which encourages teamplay. Anyone who plays with a "me, me, me" attitude gets kicked.
