Will BF2 ever be patched to be what it should have been?

1- Binoculars
2- bullet penetration holes
3- realistic weapon pickups from dead bodys
4- more destructable environments than just lame bridges
5- dust lifted off the ground from fired tank shells or low-flying Helecoptors
6- realistic tank viewscreen
7- different weaponry for each army (I highly doubt the USMC and the MEC would use the same duct-taped c4 packs)
8- VASTLY more detailed maps
9- random non-assault vehicals scattered around the map
10- variations of vehicals (Hummers with TOWs, Blackhawks with missiles, mobile artillery, etc.)
11- heat blur from planes and helecoptors
12- more realistic sounds and ambience
13- favorite server list
14- friends list

1-What would you use binoculars for? Personally I'm too busy shooting people nearby to care about what's far away.
2-There are bullet penetration holes...
3-I don't know what you mean by this.
4-That'd be cool.
5-I thought there was dust from tank shells, but I agree there's none from choppers.
6-I wouldn't know what a realistic viewscreen of a tank is, but surely it doesn't make much difference to the game?
7-Majority of weaponry is different...
8-More detailed maps? What? Perhaps you need to turn your graphics settings up.
9-What for?
10-Did they ever put TOWs on hummers or missiles on Blackhawks IRL? I don't know, but I think it's better without them.
11-Look up into the sky next time you see a fighter jet or a chopper and tell me how much heat blur you can see. :p Perhaps valid for Plane-to-plane dogfights but really a very peripheral, unneeded feature.
12-The sounds sound pretty realistic to me. *shrug*
13 & 14- fair points.


Not wishing to sound mean, but your vital, must-have-why-isn't-it-in-the-game wish-list doesn't seem to contain much that would make the game much different, and would make no change to how it plays in most cases.

This is gonna sound like a stupid, GTA player, but I really think some sort of light motorbikes would add a good bit to the game, maybe just the odd old civvy scrambler lying around somewhere or something.

Re: Will BF2 ever be patched to be what it should have been?

EA said that v.1.03 was gonna come out at end of August. Nope they got it wrong and now they say they dont know when they will have it done. Grrrrrr....
And when it comes out we will see if things are fixed or not...

Re: Will BF2 ever be patched to be what it should have been?

i like the idea of having random civillian vehicles scattered across the map that you can use.

Of course this would only be applicable to certain maps but its a good idea partly because the enemy won't know if its got a friendly or enemy in it from a distance :)

Re: Will BF2 ever be patched to be what it should have been?

It's a promotional video, if you have ever seen them before you know alot doesn't make it into the real game. The effects in the game were probably taken out due to excessive system requirements it demanded (more than it takes now lol) but I wish they had actually let us choose which bits we wanted to keep though... for me bullet holes like that in the video would be really good. Not everything makes the cut in a game, live with it.

That map looks cool though, mix of karkand mashtuur with jets as well.. all sorts to suite all (yes I know it's a mix of them all flashing from one map to another ... but can't we just combine em all ? ).

Re: Will BF2 ever be patched to be what it should have been?

I would have loved to see some usable vehicles scattered about the map... Perhaps you could have a support guy hop in the back to convert them to technicals?

Another thing that would have made sense is the different variations on vehicles. I don't know why they didn't do this.

Re: Will BF2 ever be patched to be what it should have been?

From what I can see everything you have proposed is nothing but eye candy or of no use.
The game has so many other issues with the browser, loss of connections, unbalanced play, hopping,proning, punishment system(even being allowed to punish your engineer because some are too stupid not t run over their own teams mines), no points for Spec Ops blowing up arti ect. There are so many things that effect/ruin game play that require immediate fixes. Most of your suggestions are just so far down in the list of priorites to be addressed by Dice/EA as well as a most of the players, that the aren't even worthy of consideration. In fact they wouldn't even be considered (imho). (except the favourites/friends addition to the browser of course).

Re: Will BF2 ever be patched to be what it should have been?

I could go on.. but honestly, if they could put all this stuff into a trailer, coulden't they put it into the real game?

NO. To move that you need a 4.5 ghz comp, 8800 geforce and 2.5 ghz ram.

[HicRic]

Re: Will BF2 ever be patched to be what it should have been?

2.5 ghz ram? Oooh, speedy.

Re: Will BF2 ever be patched to be what it should have been?

TOW-toting jeeps would be cool, though possibly overpowering (and yes, there are varients with a TOW-like launcher). More interesting and possibly less overpowering would be the grenade-launcher varient (just so we could have MORE "OMG GRENADE ARE NOOB!" posts ;>) so you can either take the one that can help ward off choppers or take the one that has a bit more anti-infantry pounding power. Varient vehicles would only really make sense on the large maps though, so I can see why they didn't bother.

Although, basing the weapon on who gets in the jeep might be interesting, most kits would get the machine gun, but the support kit might get the grenade launcher instead, and the AT kit would get the AT launcher... it'd be a pain to make it work though and to keep it from being too easy to switch (you'd basically need a Planetside-like vehicle aquisition system so you pull up the vairent you want from a motorpool rather than just having them pop up at certain points on the map, and that would require WAY more changes than are going to happen at this point).

Re: Will BF2 ever be patched to be what it should have been?

Actually, even if they put all that stuff in.

This game will still be Fubar'd.

Why?

It's the players. Too many tk's, too many hoarders, and not enough team players.

Today for me was a good example playing Mashutar (sp? ..meh who cares). Had my trusty M95 on top of one building. Another sniper on the building next to me. We were owning the place. He'd hit once I finish off the kill. It was good.

On my six was my good ol claymore at the ladder. Bout 10 min later BOOM ..it goes off. Didn't see any teamkill message/ no damage. So I figure I aced a MEC trying to knife me. So I reset the mine. Go back to work on the enemy. 30 sec later....idiot team mate forgot what a BIG RED SKULL means ..BOOM! Then this same moron, with no regard for the teams well being or success, then kills me from the next roof top over. So , I in kind return the favor by knifing him in the brain.

This is the reason this game will never be very good outside of lan's with established friends. Too many dicks. (yes I do realize I acted as one in the event above.)

I think the support or engineer converting the el camino to a technical is a good idea.

I would love to find a wide open warfare game like BF2 with the m4/203 in Close Combat First To FIght. That game has the nicest weaponry I have played on any game. If the M249 in BF2 was like the one in CC:FTF, I would play support much more often than the 5 minutes I've accumulated so far.

Re: Will BF2 ever be patched to be what it should have been?

Form looking at that vid, I see now what BF3 will be like in a couple of years. Does anybody think that what happened to Far Cry, may happen for BF2? IE, do some updates that will improve eye candy (HDR in Far Cry) and make it DESIGNED to run in 54 bit (Also done with Far Cry) ??

Is 54bit some kind of new technology i missed on endgadget?????

They may make it run on 64bit though.... :laugh:
