"why is this server browser still useless?"

Fixed in 1.2

No they said they fixed the "multiple server filters resulting in no servers being listed" bug. I'm talking about how totally useless the actual browser is. Refresh the BF2 server list with Gamespy Arcade and then refresh it with the in-game browser. See the difference? Gamespy Arcade allows full text search of server names. ie type any part of the server name into the box and it will find it instantly. The in-game browser is useless in this respect. The favorites system is bug ridden, from the fact that adding a server to favorites is not synced between the browser and the in-game server menu. Add a server to favorites from within the game and it wont show up on the browser etc etc. No option to stop the game adding every server you play in to the favorites list? The background movie freezing up every time you hit refresh? If you type a server or map name into the top boxes THEN hit update list it stops filtering, you have to go back to the top boxes click in them and then hit enter. And seeing as launching servers from external browsers no longer works because of that retarded "Message From EA" box, we have no choice but to use it.

Dont get me wrong I totally love this game, but the BF2 Server browser is an absolute masterclass in dreadful programming, UI, design and execution.

As for all the points youve never experienced, play some more and you'll begin to see them. They are all there and all extremely irritating.

Re: New patch 1.2 Video!

anything that has to do with gamespy is scewed up.

best ingame browser of a fps imo was cs ... thats like 7 years old and yet every new game had screwed up browsers , instead of copy the one from cs. Which then again is , because most are relied to gamespy...

Re: New patch 1.2 Video!

Meh I don't think that video shows anything except that c4 throwing wasn't nerfed. It takes him a different number of missles to kill the chopper every time, and the UAV is smoking before he shoots it with his gun. Who knows how much it had already been hit. Also, while I would LOVE it if a chopper died in 2 AT missles since he cuts from one angle to a very different one for the second shot we have no idea what hit the chopper inbetween. I agree planes need the nerf more, but there is nothing more frustrating than hitting a chopper with 3 AT missles just to have them fly off and come right back. Personally I think it should take 3 missles but have them repair half or 1/3 as fast, same for planes. IMO the problem isn't how many hits they can take but how fast they can repair. If the USMC could just fly over the length of their runways on battleships and totally repair/rearm we wouldn't have any foot soldiers.

Re: New patch 1.2 Video!

2 Vodniks hardly equals a quick death for a attack helo. Unless the attack chopper is hovering around begging to be shot down two Vodniks is going to do **** all

have u ever played sharqi (i think) where u defend hotel whit a friend,
if u have 2 jeeps there u can take out the helo whit in 5 sec even before u reach the shore

They are going to be nothing more than flying coffins now.

i thought that the attack helo was there to support the infantry.
i hardly ever see a helo help the infantry at the front line.
the helo should help the infantry and on the ground there should be a AA,
i saw it plenty of times in DC but hardly ever in BF2,
maybe that is because the AA just sucks in BF2, hope that's gonna change in the new patch.

i also would like the see some more help from the jet pilots, if i spot a tank it would be great to see bombs fall out the sky seconds later.
basically when i spot a tank i ask for air support, usually they are to bissy whit a dog fight ore bombing the enemy flag.

The "Message From EA" box doesn't cause any problems with ASE or BF2 Autoloader.

Re: New patch 1.2 Video!

The only thing I have to say to Demize and the rest of the guys at DICE, is:

"Fix the game before you add things to it"

Who cares about visible UAV? Do you think players in 1.12 are looking up in the sky thinking "why cant I see the predator plane? I want to be able to shoot it down. This game sucks because I cant see the UAV!"

No they are cursing things like "Why is it every other time I connect to a server my rank vanishes and I cant use my unlocks?" or "We are 5 patches and almost 9 months into this game and I still see friendlies with red name tags, why cant they fix it" or "Why is the performance in this SF expansion so dismal?" and "Why are there so many sound bugs in SF" or "whats the point in still having this TK punish system if absolutely NO ONE uses it for its intended purpose - intentional TKs." or "why do all the servers crash every 5 or 6 maps regardless of server executable" or "why doesnt BF2 make use of multi threading or any simds like most other games of late?" or "why is it when friendlies get out of a vehicle it shows up as an enemy target on my plane bombing hud which I will invariably bomb and get multiple TKs for?" or "why is this server browser still useless?" or "why does this minimap keep jumping scale if I spot enemy or whenever it feels like" or "why does this 70 ton jet-propelled Battle Tank take damage if i drive it over a street curb?" or "why are all the spawn points and map system for commanders totally screwed in Zatar Wetlands?" or "the transport helo I'm flying just got rammed by an idiot in a plane and I still get 5 teamkills (and invariably 5 punishes)" etc etc the list goes on and on and on.

If I was this worked up over a video game, I'd find another video game to play.

To Dice: You guys really need to reign in your beta testers, or more carefully choose who you let test. All these videos are ridiculous, and they're just causing unnecessary angst among the less-mature people in the community.

Re: New patch 1.2 Video!

the ignorance of some of you people is stunning.

the c4 hasnt been totally fixed but it certainly gives you enough time to get out of there, they cant really jump and throw you start throwing before you jump and the detonator takes alot longer to pull out and push it.

the support is a dominating force now, very little spread and will mow anyone down in a 200 m radius.

grenade launcher has been changed to atleast you cant aim at your feet, but you can still use it close up.

and aa owns everything now, planes are no match anymore, they would have to constantly circle as tight as possible to get away from it , even if they roll or go in the air they are doomed.

Re: New patch 1.2 Video!

Rofl the Helis were already too easy to take down with a jeep or vodnik and now with the decreased damage by the time they realize someone's even shooting at em they'll be destroyed. Choppers never really bothered me, I could always take them down with tanks, jeeps, at rockets and AA. I don't know why they nerfed them, I never saw anyone complain about them except some noobs here and there. Also, I can't even imagine how a chopper will stay in the air for more then a few seconds when the jets shoot it with their cannons. This should be a fun patch, lol.
