    Podcast Interview With DICE

    I sent this into the news department, but haven't seen anything. Considering the short turn around, I wanted to give the BF Community a chance to participate.

    Gamers Radio (http://www.GamersRadio.com) is proud to present their very first Gaming Talk Podcast. For our first show, we have lined up a very special guest. Lars Gustavsson, the Creative Director for DICE Sweden has agreed to do an interview. The topic of discussion will be the process DICE/EA uses to develop and test patches before release. We are also going to discus why a patch was released that had a memory leak given EA's lengthy QA process.

    In addition, we want to give you a chance to submit questions for the interview. What would you like to ask DICE concerning the way Battlefield 2 has been patched? We will pick the best questions from the submissions and include them in the interview. If we select your question, you will be eligible to win a Gamers Radio Prize package.

    As a tribute to the infamous “memory leak”, we have a special treat for the winner. Besides the few music CD's and Gamers Radio Swag we are going to send your way, Crucial Memory has agreed to send the winner a 1GB kit featuring Crucial Ballistix Tracer PC4000 high-performance memory (http://www.crucial.com/ballistix/). I bet BF2 would run sweet on that! Oh yea, they are also going to include a bunch of cool Ballistix Swag! How cool is that?

    Send your question to podcast(at)gamersradio.com. Please include your name(Nic is fine), Location and one question. Make sure you get your questions in quick! We are making our selections this Sunday. Then, keep an eye out for the release of our first episode of Gamers Radio Podcast! I guarantee this is one Podcast you do not want to miss!

    ask them why they only want our money instead of including all the maps on the expansion in the game in the first place

      maybe ask them the folowing questions :

      - when is patch 1.03 going to be available ?
      - what will change about the transport heli's in patch 1.03 ?
      - how far are you guys with the expansion pack and will there be a demo ?
      - will the expansion pack use the same stats, so beiing a seargeant in BF2 means beeing a seargeant in special forces ?

                - What does EA/DICE do about the statpadders?
                - Do they test their patches properly before release?
                - Does the chief himself play bf2? :p

                  Somone ask why single player was so bad!?!?!

                  i mean, in the first 2 major battlefields (bf1942, bfv) you could alwase use up to 64 bots. You could alwase use every map.

                  Why did they make it worse? is it just because they got lazy? or they were going to miss the release date that EA put on them? (most likely ofcourse.)

                  I know it's a mostly, multyplayer online game. But, i do somtimes get bored of trying to find another server because the server i was in went to a level i didn't like. So in SP, i can just load up my favorite map, and play it as long as i like.

                  ps- i know there was something that already gave you 64/32 players on singleplayer, can somone give me a link? and how to use it? or do it?

                  I still don't think you could play the larger maps in each level still, though.

                  Please fix this EA/Dice. I don't feel that the costumers of your game, as to fix things you should have put in it.

                      Guys, remember, I have to keep this interview on topic. I know you have a lot of questions, but I only have so much time. If you submitted a question to the email, thank you. Sarge and Bubba have been going through them and selecting the best one's. There is still one more day to get your questions in.

                      The interview is scheduled for this Friday. As this is our first show, I am working on getting all the radio elements put together. At this time, I can not say an exact date as my Voice Work Announcer had some family problems and doesn't think he can get everything done by the end of the month. As soon as I get that, I'll put it all together and launch the podcast.

                      And yes, this is just an MP3, so you don't need an Ipod to listen. Any MP3 player will do.

                      We will send out a news release when it's ready.

                      Thanks,

                        Would it be possible to make a transcript available for those of us who are deaf?

                          Harmor,

                          I am sorry, but we just don't have the resources to do that. If I was actually making money doing this, I'd be happy to hire a real transcriptionist to do it. Should things change, I'll remember this.

                            Thanks. I'll just have one of my hearing friends transcribe it for me or run it though one of my audio-to-text programs.
