Re: Official Battlefield 2 Patch Announcement

Yea, keep people interested in the BF games that are out and give them a *final patch before they move on for good.

Re: Official Battlefield 2 Patch Announcement

I have a feeling it will come out in late October or November, but not getting my hopes up.

Re: Official Battlefield 2 Patch Announcement

By the time this comes out, BF2 will be 3.5 years old.

You're pretty optimistic. You think it'll come out that soon!?

Re: Official Battlefield 2 Patch Announcement

Yep.

They don't want people to leave and play other games while they wait for BF3... BFBC was mainly to get some money of the console market.

By the time this comes out, BF2 will be 3.5 years old. Surprised to see EA wants to support (and I mean that loosely) a game that's fairly old. Time is much better spent developing BF3, but that would be too logical...

DICE have 250 employees. Not all of them can work on BF3.

They have a team for BF2, BF:H, BF:BC and BF3. I suspect this patch is aimed to tide people over until BF3 is ready. I'm pretty sure it's still in alpha atm

Re: Official Battlefield 2 Patch Announcement

I'd love to see some new content, but I'd rather see a new game.

AMEN. I think I'm going to see my grandkids before we see BF3 (I'm 27 and I have no children and I'm not married yet).

Re: Official Battlefield 2 Patch Announcement

Nah, they'll add new maps, i'm fairly sure. They did it to 2142, so i suspect the same will happen to BF2.

Re: Official Battlefield 2 Patch Announcement

Hmm, new content? I'm skeptical.

Perhaps they're patching the game to fix the problems which developed earlier this year with the hacking of the player accounts? Did you guys forget about the connection issues a few months back? Remember the constant disconnects from the Master Server?

I don't think that problem is really fixed right now, it's just got a bandage on it. I have a feeling that GameSpy found some issues which need to be resolved... But, what do I know? Nothing.

I'd love to see some new content, but I'd rather see a new game.

Re: Official Battlefield 2 Patch Announcement

they should just fix the blackhawk, the jets, make longer tv's, limit nades to 2 per minutes and give us a new map.

...just?

So, change the game again? All that will cause is more people to complain about how they liked it the way it was.

I very much doubt they'll change anything. All they will do is fix crashes and maybe add content.

Re: Official Battlefield 2 Patch Announcement

BF Heroes comes delayed (was announced for June/July)
BF3 will come out later.
The patch announcement will keep us playing BF2 until the patch comes out.
The patch (and BFH maybe) will keep us playing until BF3 comes out.
EA tries to build a bridge from BF2 to BF3.
The larger the distance the later the patch/BFH.

just my 2 cents

Re: Official Battlefield 2 Patch Announcement

They've probably got some fixed-time contract programmers available since having finished Bad Company, and they're going to throw those guys onto a new patch and some new levels, that's all.

It'll take months. Meanwhile, they just hype it to keep down the bleed of people leaving BF2 for other experiences.

Look at their own advice to us - buy a console and play Bad Company until the patch comes out. If that's not an admission of a stale game lacking in new content, I don't know what is.

Maybe we get something before Christmas, maybe not. ::yawn::

Re: Official Battlefield 2 Patch Announcement

So, was this a late April Fools joke? There's been no more word about the patch or beta testing...

Re: Official Battlefield 2 Patch Announcement

Whenever I fly a jet I choose the F35. If I'm on china I land the J10 under the carrier and wait for the F35 to spawn (usually).

OT, but why do you land the jet rather than just bailing out over the carrier?

seems like that would be much safer / easier..
