Re: EA/Dice Brainwashing Geniuses.

Until you have sat infront of your comp playing bf2 for 12 - 16 hours a day for weeks on end you wont understand what this guy is talking about.

You have no right to flame him for this thread there are actually people that bad out there until recently I was one of them.

Stop bitching at him like the bunch of Cu*ts that you are he has valid point and this is a good post. Just because you dont have a problem doesnt mean that others dont.

Yeah I was trying to stir up some ****.

I guess it worked

Re: EA/Dice Brainwashing Geniuses.

i tend to agree to the fact this game is addicting. it was shocking to come to the realization of "you" have played over 300 hours, almost enough to say "i have played Battlefield2 enough that you could equal one hour everyday of playing time FOR A WHOLE 365 DAYS"!!!

But in actuality i cant play too much, but when i can play, and i mean play(4 hours or more) i exploit that oppurtunity. Recently i was ill and missed work for 3 days. The first day i didnt play at all, the other 2 i played from 8am, until 11pm, all day, haha. Nothing better than cold medicine, and gunfire.

Re: EA/Dice Brainwashing Geniuses.

...every time I start to get bored with this game, I get a new award or rank and it motivates me to spend even more hours playing this game! I feel like a crack addict hooked on this game!

So damn true. I live for the drumroll. I want that drumroll. I need that drumroll.

Re: EA/Dice Brainwashing Geniuses.

The substance itself does not even need to be addictive (in a medical sence) for you to become hooked. If you enjoy anything enough, your body will create that need. I struggled for years with an addiction to pornagraphy.

I would dare say half of you have never experienced true addiction. It's not a matter of simply just using your free will and quitting.

And while I have my doubts about someone becoming truely addicted to BF2, I won't rule it out.

You think EA is bad?
Stair at the + in the middle of this pic. See the Green dot moving around the pink ones? If you hold your eyes still enough, all the pink dots will vanish:

Now, follow the green dot with your eyes.
There is no green dot.
Screwin with the human mind is just too damned easy.

Re: EA/Dice Brainwashing Geniuses.

That conditioning is more of an MMO thing, and TBH its quit sad (though yes i was an MMO addy). You get that next thing and you feel like you jsut need one more and one more and one more.

Although for BF2 there is no point in it except for rank and epeen.

PS cool green dot thingy.

PPS This is a REAL addiction... 365 days 123 days /played. Saw it from the WoW boards and i was like OMG do you have legs?

Re: EA/Dice Brainwashing Geniuses.

Technically, if we can get enough cases of people together that are under achieving in school or work due to too many hours spent playing BF2 we can put together a pretty strong case, for a class action lawsuit against EA/Dice. For example; if you are flunking out of school because you spend too many hours playing BF2, you can claim that your behavior was shaped by EA/Dice's operant conditioning variable interval reinforcement awards and ranking schedule.

I fu(king hate people like you, you are the type of person who will run this country into the ground. Oh lets sue the big bad evil company because im a moron and cant pass my freshmen collage classes. Phy101...give me a break doorknob, take some real classes befor you go spouting.

Re: EA/Dice Brainwashing Geniuses.

Do you know that by having the ranks and awards system in BF2, EA/Dice have created a system by which we are conditioned into BF2 addicts similar to laboratory pigeons being conditioned to peck on a button for the reward of seeds for them to eat?

It is true. I studied this in psychology 101. The BF2 ranks and awards system is a form of an Operant Conditioning Behavior Shaping. The ranks and awards are on a variable interval reinforcement schedule. This intermittent reinforcement schedule creates the most consistent response rate amongst laboratory pigeons. Likewise the ranks and awards on the same type of reinforcement schedule creates a system by which you become very addicted the BF2 game play.

For example; every time I start to get bored with this game, I get a new award or rank and it motivates me to spend even more hours playing this game! I feel like a crack addict hooked on this game!

I bet if we did a study on this we would find there is an astonishing number of people adversly affected by this game
