Open Letter To EA.

[parish]

Maybe I am out of my mind (been known to happen) but it seems really odd to me that some of the biggest "bugs" introduced by the latest EA patch do not have any direct relation to the things the patch was put in place to fix.

Why would Humvee's now be able to take 3 hits from a tank? What bug did you fix that had anything to do with the armor on a Humvee?

Why would you suddenly not be able to hear gunners in your vehicle? What sound issue was the patch fixing that could have changed this?

Why would fixing AA accuracy suddenly introduce a non-stop flare bug in Aircarft?

These are just a few things, but I have written code in the past. I understand how one thing can have a relation to another, but this is just stupid. I would honestly have been willing to wait another month or two for the last patch to give you time to test the darn thing the RIGHT way.

Why not try to please your customers? What are you guys at EA thinking? God knows you made enough money off of us to pay the programmers for a few more months to give them time to do things the right way.

Maybe you're so rich now that you do not care about us lowley gamers. Maybe you forgot we are the reason your rich. Game companies have gone away in the past for exactly the reasons your creating now. Neglecting your market. Do what you will mighty EA, but remember in the end, it is us who make or break you.

Re: Open Letter To EA.

A game engine is VERY complex and code anomalys can really cause strange effects, the constant repatching rather than going back and altering defective code causes even more problems.

Theres something to be said for coding something correctly in the first place, coding something badly and patching it is never a very good idea with even simple code let alone a whole game engine.

I sign my name under that.
