Re: Patch 1.22 Hotfix for the Hotfix being tested

I think most people fail to realize how utterly complex BF2 is as a game. There are bound to be bugs. Sure, you think Dice would fix them before the game was released, but in a game of this nature it's nearly impossible to do so as every time they fix something they are just as likely to break something else. It's a juggling act that requires hundreds of hours of testing and fixing. You better believe Dice wants to fix BF2 because I'm certain they are just as sick and tired of fixing stuff when they (and EA) most certainly want to put their resources towards new projects, like BF2142.

Re: Patch 1.22 Hotfix for the Hotfix being tested

Part of the issue for me is I haven't had any serious issues with BF2 at all. This is kinda rare and even stranger by the fact that I've got a perty crap computer.

I also wasn't big into the other BF games. I played the hell outta the demos and some full version, but I had my hands full with other games at the time. Those guys died through BAD (as in non-existant) post release support.

I guess I'm a little biased.
:p

Coming over to BF2 has felt like being spoiled to me, but at the same time the community is a hella lot harsher on the game!
I think some folks just don't know how good they've got it.

I'm glad ya dig the R2 server.
I do too.
Think I'm gonna shut up an play.

Exactly you wouldnt know how alot of ppl feel because your not having any serious issues with your game. If you had alot of the serious issues then you might be complaining aswell.

Yep I agree 100%. you have to be a programmeer or work closely with them to know that fixing a game as complex as BF2 is VERY HARD.

for every game I have played for a while, there is always many people complaining about stuff. If a game is very popular (Unreal, Quake, BF, anyone), hundred of thousands of people will play it, then it is impossible to please even the majority. Forum will always be the place to complain. The ones not complaining are playing the game and don't come on Forums too much.

Look at car furum, it's the same same thing. Peole complain about what they bought and promise to never buy that brand car again.

How many people here said they stopped playing and uninstalled BF2? The majority of them are still around complaining about a game they don't play anymore??? Wrong!! They are still playing it, because it's fun, even with the bugs.

Ah, but that's exactly my point. To every coin, there is a flip side.

Then again, I have had serious issues with other titles. I didn't go on a campain to flame and condem tho. I prefer to figure out what's wrong and if there's no way to resolve my problems I walk away. Life's to short. I'd rather enjoy something else than stewing over somrthing that ticks me off.

Rarely happens tho. 90% of the time, I can figure a way around whatever issue I'm having... other than a lack of dev support.

Whats wrong with claymores?

Re: Patch 1.22 Hotfix for the Hotfix being tested

Whats wrong with claymores?

Nothing.
No problem at all.

However, there's an issue where some people feel that by turning claymore friendly fire off they can be abused since there's no good way to disarm them.

Ofcource, if people feel strongly about this they could simply play on servers that set clays to FF ON... but that doesn't seem to occur to them.

well unlike you alot of bf2ers are too addicted to just walk away. They want it fixed so they can play their favorite game. You can only speak for yourself. If it was easy for everyone to walk away from things there would be no addicitons like crack and other drugs. Once your hooked bad its hard.

Hehe, no kiddin. I smoke, but I'd really rather not.

Anyway, with games it's a slightly different issue (slighty meaning totally, of cource). If the game has hooked you, it's obviously something you like. Heaping mounds of hate upon it isn't going to help slove anything.

The bottom line is that both Dice and EA have given this title more support than people generally seem to give 'em credit for. They've made their money. They coulda quit post support with 1.12.

And that's what boggles my mind.

EA hate, I can believe in. I've attempted to work with them before and have a lot of contact with both former and current EA employees. There's lots of good reasons to mis-like EA, but their support of BF2 isn't one of 'em.

Shoveling the game out before it was ready, forcing deadlines at the expence of QA, and general poor project handling are good reasons to get snarky at EA. The best is their agressive stance in the games industry and their desire to become a monoply. Hate 'em for that. Be my guest. Most of the industry (and even their own people) does (do).

The guys at Dice are in a different situation tho. I have a lot of sympathy for 'em 'cause I know what it's like to work under those kinds of conditions.

Actually, it's kinda a moot point as EA has aquired Dice outright now. I only hope that Dice can remain a seperate entity like Blizzard is to VUG. VUG is MUCH worse than EA as a publisher, but they know that Blizzard is a serious cash cow and know enough not to tamper with a good thing. I only hope EA has learned enough to follow suit with Dice.
