Battlefield 2 Dev Chat

[imported_Dr.D]

In testament to QuakeNet's dedication to it's gaming users we have organised yet another Dev Chat on the topic of BattleField 2 to be held on the 20th of September from 20:00 to 21:15 (CEST).

We will be hosting the session with 2 of Dice's staff this time, James Salt and Patrick O'Shaugnessy, the aim being to answer a few more detailed questions. To aid this we will be taking 10-20 questions in advance of the Dev Chat which will be of a more technical/in-depth background. These questions should be submitted as comments on this news item. Other questions can be asked on the night.

The devchat has been finalised, and will take place in Dice's official BattleField2 channel here on QuakeNet, #battlefield2 - see you there!

If you cant wait for them to post the log, go here for a unoffical one:

No m203 nerf or bunnyhopping nerf. Excellent.

Take that, "realism" proponents!

This coming from a guy who has 56+ hours in the chopper. You're whining about whiners, kiddo, not to mention that you spelled it wrong. *shakes head in digust*

LOL, seems like you REALLY enjoy the noob tube GL launcher as well...

Re: Battlefield 2 Dev Chat

All they have to do to the BlackHawk is make its cap time longer. To make it more vulnerable. It's already easy to take down a BH w/ any mounted guns.

The changes that will kill BH squad:
1)All AA have been improved
2)Slow repair in BH
3)Miniguns nerf
4)BH(low flying) passengers jump to their deaths to cap flags.
5)BH gets noob passengers while it's waiting for the squad capping flags.


They should nerf the grenade launchers. Very cheap kills, you just spam a spawn area and get kills w/ one shot. It's as deadly as a tank's main gun.

Re: Battlefield 2 Dev Chat

Hm, not a good devchat.
same questions asked several times, too many stupid questions
(omg why does it suck? why is it boring? unboring?, refund? etc)
and not many real answers.

some questions that should've been answered:
How -exactly- are the AA missiles getting tweaked?
Are the BH guns ever going to get a nerf?
Will vehicles ever stop shooting through walls?
Confirm or deny existance of the bullet drop?

etc.

But I don't care, why is quakenet where the Dev hang out, why the heck didn't a site like TotalBF2 get a shot at asking any questions?

Actually that chat was held in IRC -channel #Battlefield2, not in Quakenet -site. You can add your own questions in that site too.

LIsten stupid retard.

I adapt to the game, if someone doesnt know how to pilot the bh or doesnt have fun into shooting with the miniguns and clean all the floor from ats, and apcs its not my problem, neither would be dice, but like you ****ING whiners complain about how skiless they are cause thet cant manage to avoid a Bh or bring it down.

Well congrats, all your cries have been listened, they will very welcome you to the pussyheads club.

About the noob tube, i refer noob tube fights than ****ing campers in zatar that dont do ****, are you some of this ****?? Probably.

I win matches with all these things *******

BTW my mother language is not english so i dont have to write it perfectly, if you dont like it, like you should stfu.

Re: Battlefield 2 Dev Chat

[15:30] <QuestionBot> String asked: You mentioned earlier players will have to leave the blackhawk to get flag capture, will this apply to other helicopters as well ?
[15:30] <QuestionBot> UncleFriendly answers: This will apply to all vehicles
...
[15:34] <QuestionBot> baka- asked: UGH?! get out of all vehicles to capture flag, sounds like an awful idea to me. Drive tank to flag, get out to get flag and watch enemy jump in and blow you away!
[15:34] <QuestionBot> UncleFriendly answers: No it's just the passengers that have to get out. One person can stay in the vehicle and still capture the flag.

Wow, I didn't actually think they'd do this. Should be fun, BH captures will require actual combat skill from the entire squad!

Re: Battlefield 2 Dev Chat

Lots of good changes on that patch. Especially the BH issue. It's a shame that a good map like Mashtuur City goes pretty much to waste because of the BHs supremacy. They could add 1 more flag to that map, so it wouldn't be a constat ticked bleed for one team most the time.

And no, there's no need for "skill" when whoring with Blackhawk and 2 engineers on board :).

I wonder why it took so long to patch these obvious gameplay issues.
They could have released the gameplay tweaks in a smaller patch like a month ago and fix the technical issues (who the hell uses the in-game browser anymore?) and a new map later.

Because quakenet is the biggest gaming IRC network in the world bar none, as the DEV (dice) are european it's a logical choice.

quakenet is not just for quake it's soley for online gaming, they even have a US link now :)
