Re: Community Update - 6/16/06

Their doubt and cynical opinion is valid however, after all, after several patches all resolved, aggravated, or created problems and issues, how will this patch turn out overall?

Glad to see they are lowering the # of players required to start a ranked server... considering it crashes all the time :p

True, we just have to wait and see.

If I were admin at totalbf2.com, I would ban all you guys bitching at DICE. For once in your life man, be a little positive. Not to do EA or DICE a favor, but to lighten up yourself a little. Life is a lot more fun that way.

Re: Community Update - 6/16/06

Good news and that is funny term used; cartillary. Wonder what the limit they set for the minimum number of players to start a game. Hopefully we can get them to add some more muscle cars to road rage also.

Re: Community Update - 6/16/06

WTF!!! They're just going to START beta testing in July. So would probably expect a couple of weeks after that (if everything goes well!).

How badly did they screw the game up to have to take over two months to produce a FIX for a patch that made the game impossible to play for many people.

I think that EA should get their priorities right.
If they want to give us another Map and Mode or what ever. Create a seperate download AFTER they put 100% of their resources into the fix.

Geeez... You would think that things would get better.

I do agree that this fix WILL be a very welcomed fix with lots of damage repair and tweaks and especially giving our unranked servers back the unlocks. But TWO MONTHS, come on, get a grip... Do they just have one programmer working on this!!! :wall:

Re: Community Update - 6/16/06

Surely a quick hotfix for the crash issue would be better? Or is the bug they fixed not the bug, so they're just saying that while they find it?

Re: Community Update - 6/16/06

It's been 25 days, almost a month since they released 1.3 and they havent released a hotfix for the blatent server crashing problems. So what do they do instead? They delay it further in order to get a new map and infantry mode out that I couldn't give a crap about since my server isn't working as it is.

Fix the blasted game then work on braking it some more (as this next patch inevitably will).

While I applaud the welcome news, it is tempered by the constant patch experience as follows:

1- Introduces something new

2- Fixes a few things

3- Breaks more things

4- Repairs are limited to what is announced. Very difficult to get a full listing of pending issues that will be fixed until like 30 minutes before patch release.

I will just have to wait and see like the rest on how it comes out.

Re: Community Update - 6/16/06

You know, I'm just not bothered anymore.

Roll on Quake Wars, hopefully that will live upto its potential.

Re: Community Update - 6/16/06

They did?

Yeah, this open beta is tantamount to admitting they don't have any testers and that they'd rather have the community do all the work. I really don't care how they do it, as long as someone tests the patch before its release.

It's not a bug, it's a "feature".

Re: Community Update - 6/16/06

Make more money EA, don't hire testers.. get the kids to do it! We've beta tested everything else for this game, might as well.
