Battlefield Patch 1.03 In the Works

[DarkKnight226]

Well, I for one am pleased to see how much EA is interested in making their product better and our experiance more pleasant. As far as this stuff needing to be fixed before it was released; most of it they just couldn't know until people played the game. I mean no company can have 500,000+ people play test a product before they release it and even with tons of play testing that I am sure they did you just don't run across certain things.
Also, I am looking very much toward TKing be addressed because I have been punished for some stupid stuff(I mean who runs towards a tank that is barreling down the road at full spead) As far as possible additional change/additions I would like to see the Remington 11-87 replaced with the Benelli M4 for the US shotgun, cause that is what we are working on getting to our troops right now. But thats just me

WTF! End of August!!!!?!!?!?!? I have to play this crappy and buggy game (because of Audigy 2) FOR a whole month without any fixes! :cussing: ARGG

[imported_YA_MOMZ]

yea i wonder why ea doesnt implement auto update like when you log onto steam. it would be better than all 150 fixes at once

[ZiRo]

I'd rather the see performance optimisation. Memory hogging, memory wasting game.

I have an Audigy 2 and experience NO problems. Sound is perfect. Make sure all drivers are up to date. I have a nForce 2 mobo with the latest unified drivers, 5.10.

I think you're giving them too much credit. It was very cool of them to admit that the game isn't up to snuff--but the fixes they're correcting in this patch are not hidden problems by any means.

After 13 hours of gameplay, it was obvious that the special ops class wasn't being rewarded fairly for destroying art/uav. It was obvious that there were tons of lacking features in the game's online menus. And it was obvious that the HUD was not sufficient for good teamplay. (i.e. unknowns in vehicles) These are not imaginative new feature ideas.

One of the 'preview' videos they put up bragged about the size and breadth of their gametesters. Either these people weren't really testing the game, or the development group got way behind. Something went wrong, because the game is not even near cherry.

I personally have no problem downloading a new patches on a weekly basis so long as things are continually improved. Many patch releases can mean that we'll see users and servers strung across past versions.

Hell, I don't even have a real sound card. I'm running that Win2K Realtek '97 or whatever the name is and I have no sound probs....I'm running everything on some comparitivly weak stuff too.

As for the patch, I think all the bugs and the v1.01 patch mistake are form the fanbase and some single shmoe at EA saying "WE WANT RELEASE NOW!", or somethin' to that effect. I'm sure they're haulin' arse to get this out too. Besides, who wants unhappy customers? I'll be looking forward to it and it'll just improve on an already damn good game.

NIce to see another patch in the works, and there appears to be some positive fixes in the works...

But, no mention of a fix for bunny hopping. So, all is for not at this point..

Agreed. I hate those unrealistic bastards. Imagine if the forces had their own "bunny hopping bullet evasion" class.

I wish they'd lower the ranking points, man it'll take 10 years to get to the top making, 25 points a game

What the fix for the point farmers is, is it basicly looks at how many kills or revives you got. Like if it sees you getting revives one after another after another it will kick and ban you. Or when it sees you knifeing the same person right after another it will kick and ban you. So as long as you dont revive the same person 1 sec after they are killed then you will be fine.

I hope they don't go to far with that. I've killed the odd friendly with a nade they've wandered onto, and then quickly revived them as an apology for my stupidity.

It would make more sense if tking suffered more point loss than immediately reviving the same individual would gain. So -2 for tking, only +1 for reviving.

I would dearly love for jet pilots who spend the entire game bombing the crap out of you to be given minus points too. :)

Sounds like a good patch to me. Any improvments are always welcome, I beleive I have got my moneys worth with this game, even if no patches are on the horizon.

EA aren't obliged to provide any patches upto 90 days after the product is release.

lol

Dude, be a Medic or something. I tend to get 150-200 just reviving my fallen comrades, per game. Its easy, and the AK-101 ( imp ) kicks ass. Hell of a lot better than the unlocked L8 ( also imp )

If nothing goes wrong, thats my average score.

Team Swapping when in a squad.

Does any one know if EA/Dice are going to address the problem of being team swapped when you are part of a squad?

I know there is nothing worse than when you have a good squad up and going or you managed to join a game with a bunch of friends and start a squad with them and suddenly mid game you are shifted to the other team! This is made even worse by the fact that there is Lone Wolves running around everywhere and they decide to split the teams instead of taking a solo man.

This sucks even more when you are shifted to the loosing team (all though that is neither here nor there).

This problem could be easily fixed by checking the players status before the team swap is conducted. The check would see if the first player the program looks at is in a squad. If they were then it would move down the list to the next player and do the same unitl it came across a player that wasn't in a squad.

In the event (and it would be highly unlikely) that everyone was in a squad then it could defualt to the most junior ranked player.

Anyway thats just my thoughts. And I hope that EA/Dice try to rectify this problem in what is really a great game.

I hope they change ticket ratio limit based in number of players, not in map size.
Patch 1.01 ruined my server with 32 players and "small" maps (bigger than BF42 ones).
Now we have 5-10 minutes round, before the patch those settings was really a blast (with 200 points per round).
