Re: BF2.se beta-test Battlefield 2 Patch 1.03 - ENGLISH VERSION:

I would hardly call the high quality of the game when it was released a beta test. Any piece of software is going to have tweaks and fixes after it is released...

sure they will.... but 3 months to fix major bugs ?

besides all the problems and bugs... the game is just filled with silliness, imo.

choppers that can take ground..
magical maps with all your enemies locations on it..
jet and chopper whoring to the max..
a sniper class in the game w/o stealth.. (uavs/scans)
commanders who just uav/supplies for themselves all game..
idiot teammates who punish you for their own mistakes..

rarely do I play in a game thats actually skill based, but rather
spam based..

add all the silliness to the obvious bugs in the game.. ie. switching
the commander to the other team a minute before the game ends..
memory leaks, crashes, incompatability issues, horrible server browser,
on and on..

the game's code is a prime example of how NOT to write a piece of
software.. then combine that with EA's gestapo attitude as a publisher
and you got a nightmare.

I admit the game can be fun, but lately that ratio is decreasing rapidly.

Well, since you think it is possible to release 150+ fixes in 72 hours, it is clear you don't know crap about software development so you should keep comments like "the game's code is a prime example blah blah" to yourself. This game is extremely complex and you have no idea how the code is written.

3 months for 150+ fixes (if that is the real number) is not bad at all. When you consider it probably takes 2+ hours to work on each fix, and then who knows how many hours to QA test it, and on top of that these guys are working on stuff like the expansion pack, 3 months is not a bad number at all. We should applaud them for keeping in touch with the community and putting in fixes that we all want.

Players will always be more creative than the developers. After all there are hundreds of thousands of us and only a handful of them, so it's only natural that some gameplay exploits will be found after the game is released. It's not THEIR fault that people don't know how to vote off a commander. It's not THEIR fault that you don't know how to properly fly a jet (although they are helping with this patch). Idiot teammates are not THEIR fault.

I know software development...I am a software developer. You, sir are not.

Re: BF2.se beta-test Battlefield 2 Patch 1.03 - ENGLISH VERSION:

I would agree that it hasnt been beta testing so far if it wern't for the obvios error of being able to bunny hop around... this sort of thing has been around since... quake days.. surely as a big game developer EA would have been onto this? I doubt in an actual battlefield situation soldiers would jump around like they do in BF2? - for any of you who say it isnt supposed to be real... its a fairly poor attempt at adding some surealness to the game. dont you think?

so yeah beta testing it has been.. and appears like it will continue!

So why not release a game that was tested and proven? You sir are not rational...

I am sure it was tested and proven. But testing can only be so rigorous.

Re: BF2.se beta-test Battlefield 2 Patch 1.03 - ENGLISH VERSION:

lol.. this guy must work for ea or dice.. anyone so hard headed to think
fixes take 90 days is a moron.

My point; MANY , if not MOST of the fixes could have and should have been
fixed within a few days... but yea.. a publisher will wait a week try to see if any
new ones pop up... and yea they do.. so a week or two, no problem...

90 days ????????? WOW.

Again, look at EPIC.. they do it right.. They dont send their entire programming
staff on vacation for 2 weeks the week of release.. (cough), like DICE)


If you are software developer, and you actually defend what they have done
with this game... then I pray to God above I NEVER buy any of your products..

Ive been writing code since before you were probably even an itch in your daddys
pants.. Have over 100 game titles on my shelf here, and NEVER have I seen one
so unfinished..

Really, all I need to say is this... its 2005, online fps games been around for
several, several years now.. and BF2 has no Fav. Server List in its browser...
if you think about it, that says it all... Lots of effort in the graphics Dept.
NO effort in the rest.

youre right !! so, you know what EA/DICE does... RELEASE and have
us all PAY to beta test it for them..

Perhaps you would like to explain how 150+ fixes can be fixed in 90 days (which is really 65 working days). You are talking about code and QA testing over 2 fixes a day. And really since is their third patch you need to include all the fixes in the past 2 patches. Then you have to also consider that not all these issues were discovered 90 days ago, some were discovered much later. You aren't thinking. You are just complaining.

Beta testing on on even 2000 machines is nothing compared to the hundreds of thousands of users after release. (and hundreds of thousands of creative minds thinking of how to exploit the system)

Re: BF2.se beta-test Battlefield 2 Patch 1.03 - ENGLISH VERSION:

I agree the Commander shouldn't be punished for arty TK's..but now that it spawns faster with no pain in the gain this 'strategic' weapon is now more of an all out weapon.

O well

So youre saying they didnt know that the server browser didnt have
a fav. server list in it until recently ?

BS.

90 days = 65 working days, eh????

You do work for DICE dont you?? LMFAO!

This post is classic.
