1.21 impressions!

Re: 1.21 impressions!

i havent gotten it yet becase none of the fixes really appeal to me.
all I care about at this point is them fixing the stat system. They need to fix the issue where people who rank up that need certain medals after they have reached the target global score.

for instance me, I have over 20,000 global score but I cannot be ranked up to first sergeant because I got all the basic badges after I reached the 20,000 global. Also I think that they need to make the ranking system go faster. scores that are instantly recorded and displayed in bfhq.

do noob tubes bounce now?

do sraws still disappear?

if so, 1.22 is imminent.

Re: 1.21 impressions!

Well, unless you have all the medals beforehand, you cant reach that. I believe first sergant is like a reward for those people who got the medals before that rank. You dont actually stop ranking up, you just get master sergant instead. its not like you dont continue to advance or anything.

WHOA! you didnt get all the basic badges? well some people need to be master gunnery sergeants, and its morons like you.

seriously, they cant just MAKE IT FASTER! its not that simple!

its like saying "THEY NEED TO FIX ALL LAG NOW, AND MAKE IT RUN ON SUPER HIGH GRAPHICS ON MY FX 5200 GRAPHICS CARD! AND GET RID OF THE H4XORS!"

in short, you are an idiot.

Re: 1.21 impressions!

Although I agree with you about "Patch X blows" and all that, but I don't think being a programmer has anything to do with it.

its the human element of it, the programmers are human, they make mistakes, and some of the bugs include you being in a certain spot so on and so forth, they cant test every variable of the game on every spot of the map, and account for things like standing where the concrete meets the grass between a tree and a fence and, boom!, your under the sidewalk. i agree some of the bugs are pretty lame, like they AT rockets going through their designated targets (i.e cars) but as long as humans are making these things there will be mistakes. and as long as thier are mistakes there will be patches. and where there are patches, there are whiners. </rant>

Re: 1.21 impressions!

I think AT bug was fixed (check my page 2 post.) they fixed all the server client stuff, so things like the "zone of silence" should be gone.

Re: 1.21 impressions!

Sounds still not fixed. X-Fi worked like a charm before 1.2 bag of miracles. I loved it. Then 1.2 came and I started hearing ... things. Mostly choppers above my head, where there weren't any. And of course I stopped hearing a lot of important other things, like fckn vodnik's disposing at me. <sarcasm>But hey, everybody has this problem and I can of course understand that a crappy $20 sound card does not produce basing sounds. I mean, it's even better that way, I paid for X-fi and Creative paid DICE - so give my my f*ing unfair advantage! But why does it happen to me as well?! I paid creative a lot! I really did!</sarcasm>

And oh, I have a degree in CS and years of experience. I do hope this makes my whining valid for all you EA fanbois. Had I not graduated from technical university I would felt obliged to consider this ****load of bugs as industry standard, and not clearly underfunded support.

Re: 1.21 impressions!

You don't have to be a programmer to complain about bugs. That's liek saying you have to be a musician to bitch about music sucking. Ridiculous.

Half-Life 2, Doom 3, CS and other popular games don't have major, game-ruining bugs like BF2 does. In fact, no other game that is currently being played has the poor reputation BF2 does for bugs.

It's part of the BF2 experience that, along with AWESOME gameplay, you have bugs and weirdness.

I don't think anyone is surprised by bugs in software, as it's a natural thing, but we're jsut shocked that a company the size of EA (biggest publisher in the world) and a team as experienced as DICE lets so many blatantly obvious bugs out the door.

It reaks of being amateurs, which they certainly are not. So what gives? It' makes no sense.

Re: 1.21 impressions!

I just played 3 rounds of Dalian and not a single AT rocket misfire.

No sounds missing either...but that's gonna be harder to notice at first.

I assume EA is rushing DICE.

Re: 1.21 impressions!

what about screenshots? has this been fixed? any red/tag bluetag bugs still goin on?

ide like to try it, but im at work....i think ill wait for the official release anyway....as they might still be ironing out some new bugs

[Alcorr]

Re: 1.21 impressions!

Screenshots have been fixed but red/blue is still going on as far as I know because dice can't fix it because they can't recreate the bug/situation.

Re: 1.21 impressions!

Anyone tried BattleRecorder playback yet?

Re: 1.21 impressions!

i find it funny how people keep complaining after every patch or hotfix release. will you guys ever be happy?

I have a source that tells me the complainers are undercover patch programmers. In order to stay working they must pretend to be unhappy bf2 players.
