Where is the patch?

Re: Where is the patch?

I'm sure that pretty much everyone that nags about how the patch isn't out yet probably would have played the game for a really long time more even without the patch announcement.

Exactly, so why piss them off with a patch teaser? If they had announced it and then released it (wihtout major malfunctions :quivers thinking about 1.3: ) it would have gave the community a nice jolt. Instead, they tossed some fuel on a dieing fire (hatred of DICE and EA).


Please don't associate me with said fire. I have disdain for some of EA's practices, but I can also realize an entertainment value.

Re: Where is the patch?

Ladies and gentlemen,

There is no patch. There never was a patch.

All it was, was a DICE Live guy (new to the job), who messed up in an interview and said there was going to be an "update" - after he was pushed by the interviewer (with a horrendous Aussie accent).

Then DICE/EA went on damage control and "announced" an "update" - a patch was never mentioned. They're now hoping that a few more will stick with the game until the announcement of BF3, which should be this Fall/Winter.

It's smoke and mirrors.

Re: Where is the patch?

People thought the 1.5 update for 2142 was a hoax as well, but no it was highly serious.

And why would you be pissed off by a delayed patch - it's coming eventually and being impatient and don't waiting for DICE to test patches and stuff is what ruined this game in the first place.

Have some balls and wait.

Re: Where is the patch?

I say the patch comes the day before the BF3 announcement.

I think you might be right. :nod:
Leipzig this week. :yay:

I hope BF3 has massive maps with support for 150-players. *drools*

I don't. All that means is lag. Server side and client side

Joint Ops had it.

Re: Where is the patch?

designers don't ruin games, gamers ruin games, a game relies on the community that play it to create fun scenarios rather than use *** tactics and exploits ... besides patches are based on community feedback so it's our own damn fault lol

you should be glad they even release patches once released they are not obliged to patch it atall
they get no money from the patches so think about it and be a bit grateful yeh ?

Ditto, could not have said it better myself..... :salute:

One thing I do want to add, is that you need to take what EA says with a grain of salt. The patch will come when it comes, just be careful what you wish for because you may get it.

Your point?

It used a different engine...

Re: Where is the patch?

I just read this in EA forums:

Just about a week or so ago I was asked by our BF2 server provider if we'd like our server to be a beta testing server for the 1.5 patch when it comes out. He informed me that the patch is planned to prevent a lot of the hacks that are currently going around. So if our server provider is asking us to be beta testers for the patch, I'd say it's coming along and very much still in the works.

If that guy is telling the truth, then it is most certainly not a hoax and coming out in the near future. :thumbsup:

Wont BF3 use another engine too? I hope so...

I think 150 players is a little too much to hope for though... Maybe a little below the 100 mark would be more realistic? One can always dream :)

Ehm, no, it doesn't.

Hardware and Internet connections can cope with 150 players with no issues, and the developers of netcode and system can manage it as well, just look at the countless MMOs.

The problem with an FPS with that many players, is mostly game and map design. Maps have to be near perfect to hold 150 players, everything needs to be balanced because of obvious choke points. Game has to be perfectly balanced as well.

To create a map to hold 150 players will take a lot of time, simply because it needs to be tested for hundreds and hundreds of hours (with hundreds of players).

The technology aspect is easy, lag is easy to deal with. It's the game design that is the challenge.
