Re: Official EA 'Issues to be resolved' thread

Okay, so what are the main issues then? You can't even list one because you just don't want to admit that you know those are the main issues. You suck, not the BF2 community. We actually request what we want, and it just seems to be that IF EVERYONE IS ASKING FOR THEM, WOULDN'T YOU CONSIDER THEM IMPORTANT?

Hmm. Where to begin with this one? Maybe you misunderstand me. To be honest I have no real beefs with the game and gameplay as it stands. There are f*ck me offs and niggles I have with the game, but those pale in comparison with my issues of low ranked map count and only one gametype - THOSE ARE MY MAIN ISSUES WITH THE GAME (spelt in caps so you can understand). As far as I can read into the forum of required fixes here are the top 3 issues people want remedied:
1) Bunny-hopping
2) Server browser
3) Toss-up between wanting stronger AA, TK system, and Parachuting.

Now, TO ME (and I emphasize to me, your thoughts are your own), these 3 issues, while being annoying, are less important to me than the issue of the small scope of the game in its current state. I know theyre releasing an expansion pack, and more power to them, but the original BF42 had more varied maps and play types. I would rather have more ranked maps and game types than have bunny-hopping adjusted and the server browser fixed, for me personally I havent encountered bunny-hoppers enough to **** me off (maybe there just arent as many on the servers I play on). Likewise with the server browser, sure it sucks, but I am still able to play on servers with minimal hassles. If I really have to, I'll use All Seeing Eye.

Personally it seems people have listed their issues on the EA Forum thread based on what everyone else has written and not thought of all the other elements they would like to see in a patch and not just bug fixes and gameplay tweaks.

Re: Official EA 'Issues to be resolved' thread

I don't mean to be an ass, but it clearly says in the quoted part of this thread:
"Include any bugs you have found, whether specific to a particular map or found throughout the game.

Also include any outstanding gameplay issues you believe are important."

So, no, I don't believe I am mixing anything up.

Certainly, bunny hopping is a "game play issue." Personally, as I don't see the red/blue tag all that often and I see bunny hopping 100 times a round, I can certainly see WHY it is a major issue for some people. It did bother me a lot at one time but then I just learned to accept it as part of the game. So I wouldn't say it was a top issue for me (although, I would be more than happy to see it go away). . .

Right on brother.

Re: Official EA 'Issues to be resolved' thread

Most Important Issue: Fix Mine Teammate punish issue. TK due to idiot teammates running over them should not be punishable. Make it a count as a suicide against the person who ran over it. Engineer class is useless without this change.

Teamplay balance issues are just as important as technical programming issues.

I could'nt agree more...The stupidity is endless concerning TK's...Why does everyone punish for all the wrong reasons? Personally, I only punish for intentional TK's or cases of SEVERE stupidity. I urge others to follow suit.

True its annoying as all buggery, but what about engineers that mine directly infront of unoccupied vehicles so no-one takes them for whatever reason? That sucks just as much and changing mines to not being TKable would exploit this more....

It's not very likely that people are going to follow suit look at it at the moment it's f*cking crazy!This is the biggest annoyance with the game is the TK procedure.
95 percent of the time I forgive like vice said intentional TK's and for being a total retard gets a punish howvere you'll lay a Claymore mine you know the type WITH THE BRIGHT RED SKULL AND CROSSBONES to identify that it is an explosive,ok you can't always tell if it's C4,landmine or Claymore but they still punish.Another example is total retards that see you putting down supressing fire with your support weapon and they'll run in your line of fire and die oh and guess what they'll punish you.The system should have been fixed in the patch only reason I looked forward to it.
Who cares about new animations in BFHQ or changing the points system they should have fixed the Punish system that gets you kicked/banned from a server just because of some retards.That's all I really ask of anymore fixes.

Re: Official EA 'Issues to be resolved' thread

Maybe 1 or 2 teamkill allowance before you can be punished? Most legit people won't accidentally kill their teamates more than 1 or 2 times a round. Anything more than that, even accidental, is worthy of punishment just for stupidity.

Re: Official EA 'Issues to be resolved' thread

So how can you call people keep running over your mines and punishing you stupidity?!:hmm:

So whats the answer then? No TKs at all? I cant see any other way around it then, and not having TKs would make the game lame.

One option would be for the offender to petition for an "accidental TK" and if the TK still goes ahead it gets less negatives or requires more instances for a kick to occur.

Stop placing them in areas of advance? I have seen more instances of crappy mine placement than idiocy. You can't block off a base's entrance with mines and not expect to be in a position of attack eventually with those mines still in place. One solution is requiring about half of one team (which I thought would be in the 1.03 patch) to ban a player doing intentional teamkilling. Banning punishing is not the answer.

Re: Official EA 'Issues to be resolved' thread

I had a look at that this morning seems to be full of people thinking bunny hopping is a more important issue than the red/blue tag bug. Oh well

We got choppers that can take tank shell hits and keep on going, people.

Get real.

You want a issue that needs to be addressed? Its the overpowerful
jets and choppers that ruin the game..

I cant believe people cry and moan over people jumping.. and some
w@nker comes up with a term for it, i.e bunny hopping.. blah..
If you cant hit a moving infantry target , you shouldnt be playing
this game in the first place..

EA needs to fix the still horrible server browser, and seriously address
the airpower in BF2.. The game is sooooooooo much funner when its
an infantry based game...instead of all the air whoring spam.

Re: Official EA 'Issues to be resolved' thread

Who cares about a few gameplay problems?

Those of us playing.

Most of us that can't play the game love the game and don't have any complaints when it rarely DOES work.

Because you haven't played it much. Play it more, and you'll start to notice what those of us who have logged hundreds of hours notice. Did you even read my post before you started spouting?

People need to stop whining about jumping and the rare tag color issue, I'm sure its a lot worse than not being able to get into a game!

Are you honestly arguing that because a minority of people can't play the game, that the majority should suffer through gameplay faux paus? Seriously.

If you can't stand "bunny hoppers" M203 their asses... or send a rocket up their butts, stop whining and just deal with it. If some guy can shoot more accurately than you while he's jumping around chances are he'd murder you on the ground even quicker.

I don't have much trouble killing bunny hoppers, actually. And the grenade launchers that everyone uses while bunny hopping don't really suffer from accuracy penalties while moving, so your latter point is pretty irrelevant.

I do have big beefs with the game being visually turned into UT. And bunny hopping goes with dolphin diving, which actually is a balance issue. People can get the benefits of the prone position while flying through the air. That is, as most think, not what DICE intended. At the very least, it's not what most people want.

If an ally has a red tag once a game swallow the negative 6 points and deal with it.

Actually the red tag bug lasts an entire round. I had it on me once, and despite me switching teams and squads repeatedly, a few select teammates continued to ice me thinking I was a bad guy.

Logic:

1.) Fix game install issues.
2.) Fix gameplay issues once everyone can play.

Here's more:

1.) Minority of players
2.) Majority of players

Our complaints are louder. Sorry. Maybe if you weren't such a jerkoff I might be more sympathetic and go edit my post at the EA forums.

PS: And you see what the reverse logic does by looking at the "Client support" and seeing how many problem threads there are now with the new patch. They fixed a few gameplay issues and now I'm guessing 2x as many people can't play the game.

Most new problems from the patch are CD-key related, and there are posts all over about the fixes for it.

Re: Official EA 'Issues to be resolved' thread

I really hope the next patch is aimed for the clanplayers. You pubbers have already had your patch so it's our time next.

Re: Official EA 'Issues to be resolved' thread

I think the game is fine. You can fix bunny hopping but if your too nooby to counter it you just suck. Anything out of game could be fixed sever browser. Plus id like o see a canadian army and britian. Like not serperate. Like Mec could have 3 divions Iraq Iran Egypt. Us could have Canada and UK. China could have north korea ect. Any1 else like this idea?

Re: Official EA 'Issues to be resolved' thread

they need to have some sort of grid on the minimap for navigation, instead of saying "go to that tree", the squad leader thing helps, but if ure not the leader and u need a reference, a grid needs to be implimented, like on BF1942.....still wonderin why this was left out...

Re: Official EA 'Issues to be resolved' thread

1/ Definately agree on the TK mine issue. I quite often get punished when mines that are in a very obvious position get run over by teammates. I think that there are a lot of people running around with blindfolds on that can't even tie their own shoelaces.

2/ Another issue is game entry time. I spawn as soon as possible and find an enemy vehicle already at my spawn point on occasions. How the hell do they do that?

3/ Rankings don't do too much for me anymore after the sudden influx, too much too soon.

That said, it is the best game i've played and it's going to be a hard act to beat. Well done EA and keep up the good work!
