Re: Community Update - 2/20/06

LOL yes, pick me to beta test please. I am passionate about this game, I won't let you down :)

Anyway, assuming that testing begins next week, it would take at least one/two weeks to test, so all in all the patch will be out, early March. You've gotta remember that this also means Armoured Fury is pushed back, which is also a source of income for DICE.

Employ some more staff DICE. Oh, and find a good publisher, like, god is there even any good ones? Midway maybe.

Re: Community Update - 2/20/06

if bf2 wasnt so addictive and fun, i wulda thrown the damn thing out by now. i just cant find any other game that matches its addictiveness to swap for.

Havent you got a copy of 1942??? He he

I played DC last night and had more fun than I've ever had in BF2.

Man the SU25 is such a beautiful aero model.... feels incredible to fly....


52,000 players???? 4 x the attendance of 1942????
- I wonder if that includes 1942 mods! Bet it doesnt.

The 52,000 people are just desperate to see if 1.2 fixes BF2.
- They'll see them numbers dwindle, because it doesnt.

I think 1.2 gameplay is better than 1.12, but it's still buggy as hell.

It aint CounterStrike Mate. When in a real life battlefield can u go up to an invisible market & buy some more armour & weaponary lol

When in a real life battlefield can you recognize sarcasm when it hits you in the face?

Re: Community Update - 2/20/06

Although I am glad EA is fixing the 1.2 bugs, this kind of annoys me.

I play an MMORPG called Silkroad online and last night a new update came out. When i tried to run it, the game wouldn't work. This mornin i get onand they have already patched the bug. And the sad part is that unlike EA, the game is free so they don't really get money.

Delay - Right, how i forgot, its EA and Dice
They dont fix real problems like own teammates name tags are red sometimes etc

Re: Community Update - 2/20/06

relax guys, everyone deserves a second chance esp. when they realised their mistake. Just wait patiently and see what happens then.

Re: Community Update - 2/20/06

Well, well, well - EA strikes again. Can't say I'm disappointed though - the 1.2 patch has caused numerous problems, and not only for me. Nobody can deny that - look at the number of "problems post 1.2 patch" posts, for example. Just something I've observed.

Anyways, I'd rather they fixed issues first to be honest - if it means delaying the booster pack then so be it. After all, having struggled to actually get the bloody 1.2 patch working (well, only just), it'd be better for all these problems to be solved, then release the booster pack. Otherwise, EA has to contend with:

• Existing problems
• Problems presented by the booster pack

Mind you, having said all the positive, I agree that this approach could lead to problems too: People getting fed up of waiting and not getting the patch at all. Then again, this is just some people's nature - to never be happy. Bring on 1.21.

Edit:

Delay - Right, how i forgot, its EA and Dice

Here's a tip: When they're dressed as your team, don't shoot them.

Re: Community Update - 2/20/06

Why did Dice have to use EA. Maybe if they used Activision or someone like that then maybe BF2 will be a bit less buggy? Do they have to test the patch? They test the patch for weeks without many bugs and then suddenly it gets released and it's bug galore! Just release the patch and you'll be notified of the bugs within 5 minutes of its release.

Anyway, at least they are actually doing something quickly for a change. I think this is EA's fastest repsonse to bugs in a game!!!

Re: Community Update - 2/20/06

Just get over it guys.

Consider yourselves lucky that they actually patch their game.

Hopefully now they will pay closer attention to the actual bugs in the game, rather than play around with the "balancing" issues.

Glitches/bugs first, then they can move on to the cry babies.

PEACE

Re: Community Update - 2/20/06

My 2 cents...

Just get over it guys.

too true!

1. MMORPG I was playing, patched and shut down there servers every tuesday! and sometimes you had to wait till the next tuesday before the new bugs were fixed.
2. this game does not cost any more money to play online, like most mmorpg's, unless you rent a server...
3. noob toob has been made a little better because now I can bank shot them around corners in karkand.
4. NO MORE DD!!!! YEAH!!!! although people still do the roll to prone while killing me with one shot thing still :-( havent figured that one out yet.
5. the jump delay to fix DD did kindof mess up the parchute off a low roof hack that everyone uses.... including me.
6. the pistol still sux :-) man i need that badge!

7.. now this is important.... I have played many games and this one still is the funnest so far and if more MOD's like DC CTF come out then it will be awhile before I look for a new one.

Re: Community Update - 2/20/06

how would you get to test this beta patch can you submit your name or do they pick any1.

They don't just pick "Anyone",although with the alleged 'testing' 1.2 got, maybe they did.

The ONLY reason they're "Working day and night" to fix this is because it's tied to the Euro Forces expansion - which will bring the big fat corporation more DOLLARS!

They probably still have a budget open against the Euroforces release, which allows them to do these fixes.

EA SUCK!

Why produce a game that is so nearly brilliant, then dont bother supporting it.... It'll bite em in the ass when BF2142 is released, not that any BF1942/2 fans are interested in lasers and freaking robots.

Re: Community Update - 2/20/06

I'm so sick of people saying this engine sucks and EA/DICE sucks. All you're doing is showing your own stupidity. The BF2 engine is simply amazing. Show me one game that plays as smooth as BF2 and looks as smooth as BF2 and has as big of OUTDOOR maps as BF2 with as many people and as many vehicles.
