Re: BF:SF preview

after i heard that i if that is true i m not even going to get SF because i dont want one stupid expansion pack to **** up my computer

[=HzC=Heinz]

Re: BF:SF preview

I will buy the expansion pack right the way, because
1. I am not a poor teen who can't afford games
2. DICE's expansion pack usually satisfy me
3. I have yet to be annoyed by the bugs.

and also, I found it highly repulsive to preview a game base on an alpha build (Yes, it's an alpha if they didn't finish adding contents)

yeah, you said it. I'm getting it ASAP. sounds like fun, and all the new countries sound great as well! :)

nah, they'll make the medic class slower, and less efficient, in homage to their national socialized medicine/health care system. :laugh:

Re: BF:SF preview

So you'd rather pay 20 or 30 bucks on a half-done, shallow product while you still have a broken game engine, rather than waiting on a well-supported free mod? I don't comprehend this logic.

Well, I don't know what you mean by broken, my game engine works jsut fine for me a couple bugs but far from broken. And yeah, I'd rather pay $20-$30 and get new infantry maps, new vehicles, new weapons, new armies, and new medals than have to wait 6 months or more for a decent mod to be released (which has no guarantee of quality). And just because a mod is released doesn't mean it's going to be fun or even playable. It took Desert Combat several releases to the best mod for BF1942, just like CS Beta took forever to get it balanced.

Can you comprehend that?

Re: BF:SF preview

IRT ^

1) As a matter of fact, most people who play this game are between 20 and 25, despite common belief. Also, the majority of people who are boycotting the expansion pack, or all EA games, are in this age group, and do it to make a point.
2) You've never played FH or BF1918 or GC or DC or any other good mod then. DICE's expansions pale in comparison to this amazing, free community work.
3) Thats nice. If you are one of the .0001% who hasn't experienced major bugs in BF2, copy this into your signature... sheesh.

And also, I am highly repulsed by EA's inability to fix BF2 by fixing its bugs or adding the content they never finished. WAIT A MINUTE. In BF2, they actually put in more content into the alpha then into the betas or actual release... so, logically... SF is just going to a bit of the mediocre amount of content it has chopped out.

Not to mention SF is going to be at least as buggy as BF2. if you follow EA's logic: Release buggy game, reap massive profits, 'patch' game as a joke to act like you are doing something to satisfy the unsatisfied purchasers.

I am a BF42 veteran actually. My original nick is AP_Physics_C and I have been a tester for DC from 0.3 to 0.8. My job was to pick out bugs.

Now let me tell you, bugs in BF2 isn't actually that prevalent. I have yet to see the red name tag bug, and there some bugs I just ignore (nothing is perfect). The only bug that annoys me is the C4 bug.

Now, if a media build only has 3 maps, and the entire build is supposed to have 9 maps, that media build is alpha (by definition), and reviewing it is unfair. Do you expect someone to give a fair review to quake4 in its alpha stage and say "AI doesn't even work, levels are not completed, etc?"

Go ahead, make your point by boycotting it. But if you are really 20-25 (that means you are 1 to 6 years older than me), you should be mature enough to know that your effort won't change anything, and you'll probably end up buying it anyway.

Re: BF:SF preview

On a dutch site, there is a preview about BF2:SF , it's in dutch but I will translate the most important things for you guys, FYI they got an official trial verion of the game for testing, BUT i will tell you this is a site who gives fair reviews, for example of BF2 they said :" great game but put down with tons of bugs and glitches"

- the concept is the same offcourse, capturing flags, and there are six army's to do this ; US; England, Rusia; MEC, rebels and another kind of rebels , so no chinees guys here , and another remark, the MEC and the russian are using the exact same weapons as the MEC in BF2 , only the rocket launcher is changed.

- offcourse you have the extra's like grapple hook, tear gass, flash bang and stuff, but everybody already knew this.

- the rocket launchers have more splash damage, you can even blow several vehicles up with one rocket due to splash damage (they say it gives some nice ingame views).

- material penetration is a real feature now, hiding behind a concreet wall is more safe then hiding after some wooden boxes or metal plates for example

NOW THE DOWN SIDE , THE VERY DOWN SIDE :
offcourse it's a preview version but hear this out.
-Game has serious memory problems, sometimes the game won't run smoot at all or even not playable
-they had some blue screens during testing of the game
- and they had to reset there BIOS once (can you believe this, how a program sucks this hard it even mess up your BIOS)
- two of the three preview maps weren't even playable due to bugs .

There overall end comment, DICE has tons of work to do here, the expansion is far from ready, and if you know how long they worked on 1.03 before it came out and it even didn't solve most technical problems with the game they fear the wurst .......

My opinion : when it comes out, don't buy it from the first day, I think it will be a dissaster

My machine restarted a couple of time for no reason to a blue screen when i was useing the 1.02 patch as ive just posted in another thread. I must of been lucky though i didnt have to reset my BIOS i just stoped playing for a nearly 2 months. Well youve just convinced me not to buy the expansion i was 50 / 50 and realy thinking of buying it but after reading that no chance in hell am i.

tweak your PC

BIOS is not accessed once you go into windows, how can something mess it up, maybe you get a virus?

- two of the three preview maps weren't even playable due to bugs .
SIngle player is not complete for those maps

No ****, it's an alpha.

good job previewing something base on an alpha, that's very unprofessional.

as I siad before, dice sent them the preview for making a preview of it, it's not there faulth, it's DICE who damit sen them the CD, nothing unprofessional aboput that from the website there side .

And, how can something be an alpha build if it's an expansion, build on the exact same engine as the previous game, it's not like they had to write tons of code extra, they just had to design a lot, and just add some extra's in there system like flash bangs, graple hooks, ... what can be so hard on doing this, most modders here do better jobs.

this explains a lot, you are blind, this is why you don't see the bugs and why DICE can't take the bugs out of there game because the testers suck, they just don't see the bugs, OMG .

wrong tag bug is a server side bug, not client, this is why everybody should have seen them before sometimes.
Proof, well, once I was tagged wrong and different teammates TK'd me, one after the other, they all said the same, they see me as red, meaning the server is sending them wrong information.

Also many other reports make it a fact this is a server side problem.

Please, DICE , change your testing team, the ones testing your game suck, they are blind and just brag about it, also the testers of 1.03 where morons in every way, why ow why?

Re: BF:SF preview

Id actually like to know when this website got the preview disc because if it was in the last couple of weeks it must be dam near the finished artical if not the finished artical. Its october 26th today and the release date is supposedly on november 11th. And well before the expansion is sold in any shops they stop programing then they test it then they make a crap loads of disc and start to ship them to all the stores in preperation for day 0. At this moement in time im in no doubt if the release date is novemeber 11th there are proberly thousands if not tens of thousands of copies of the expansion pack sat in some factory somewere. So i do seriously doubt that the game that was previewed was in alpha stage if they receavied that disc in the last couple of weeks it was proberly very close to the final version if not the final version.

EDIT : btw ive had the blue screen when i was running the 1.02 patch i had no viruses my machine was completely clean and only a couple of months old. To be honest with you the game out of the box ran ok for me i never got chance to install the 1.01 patch because it was recalled so fast but once i stared t ouse the 1.02 patch it fecked everything up for me.
