    Re: Future Battlefield 2 Plans Unveiled Soon?

    It's real simple.
    If they want to sell more copies of the game, people need a reason the buy it.
    Nr.1 reason why people would buy the game this day, after a year and a half from release?

    Because they have seen screenshots and videos of mods wich they would love to play.
    But to play them, they have to buy the game first.
    Just check on battlefield 1942, you know how many extra copies of that game where sold because of mods?
    No, its not 10%, not even 20%, not even.. ah just do a search on it and you will be suprised.
    if there would not be a mod like desert combat, I never bought the game, thats for sure.

    So, whats keeping people from playing mods?

    Yep.. ranking system.

    So what happens if the ranking system stays?
    mod teams go off to other games.
    But with no ranking system people will play the mods and because of that mod teams will bring their mod to the next level, to make it look better, create more maps, weapons, vehicles, etc.
    Wich eventually leads to selling more copies, cause more people will be interested in the mods.

    Its the mods that keep the game running with different styles of gameplay, takes the mod to vietnam, or WW2, or the gulf war.

    So people are playing on ranked servers, only because they want that unlock weapon?
    Ahum, there seems to be some mods with those weapons and a lot of other great weapons and vehicles that you can use the moment you installed the mod!
    Isnt that great?

    But maybe I'm wrong and maybe after a year from now you still love to play another round of strike at karkand,,,

        Imo stats were never a big puller for bf2, I think the introduction of them have detracted alot from the gameplay. But thats for a completely different topic.

        Regarding future BF2 plans. It seems pretty obvious that a new patch is about to float our way. But what exactly will they fix, and will this be the last one? A shame, but i think Vanilla won't be played as much as it used to be as the serious mods come online in the fourth coming months.

        Perhaps they might be kind enough to update some of the modding tools?

          Just to let y'all know, I know MadManX, he does NOT work for EA. He is a moderator who volunteers his time... Of course, this doesn't mean he doesn't have some new news he's received from developers...

            The only thing they'll bring out is a patch making it work with Quake Wars servers. You'll have to pay £35.99, but every trace of EA and DICE will be removed and replaced with ID Software, and all the bugs will just... vanish.

            As for the statspadders, they will be sent to a prison ship for Bubba's fun.

                i doubt anyone bought bf2 BECAUSE of the ranking system. You're argument is non sequitor in my opinion.

                Are you kidding? It was one of the biggest selling feature of the game! Of course it swayed people's descision to buy the game, who wouldnt want mini-awards and goals to work towards and have some rewards after all the hours of online gaming. So of course it begs the question "why buy the game if you dont like it's biggest feature?"

                Imo stats were never a big puller for bf2, I think the introduction of them have detracted alot from the gameplay. But thats for a completely different topic.
                Then why arent unranked servers more popular?

                  The chinese are buying EA. The EA execs will be sent to re-education camps where they will be forced to consider the proletariat (i.e. you) over profit. The next patch will make Chinese army win every game and when you die the medic will cut you organs out for sale.

                  Just a rumour so far thou.

                    Do you get medals for the amount of usefull organs that can be taken from your body? Gold Kidney Medal voor two kidneys in mint condition but a Basic Liver Badge because of strong drinking in the past.

                      See ya in Enemy Territory: Quake Wars.

                      I'm done with this series.

                      Three cheers for the rank fags. Make sure mommy keeps putting your paper badges on the fridge for you.

                        ou, you what would be really nice, but is very very unlikely to happen.

                        A new set of modding tools...

                              I bet, they add more ranks, more weapons, more vehicles, more teams n everything.

                                Looking over some posts; since when did playing multiplayer PC games become about achieving fake things?
