Since when does anyone support beta software?

Since when did people start using IE again? :laugh:

Dear EA Marketing Genius,

Euro Forces throws a wrench in the whole map rotation because not everyone has it. This is a HUGE EA marketing and public relations mistake. They should have made it FREE for EVERYONE as compensation for the lack of support and lack of patch management skills. Believe me shareholders are well aware.

If you look at Server Browser in BF2 - you will see many servers EMPTY. Admins either have to run all EF maps OR standard BF2 maps. A mixture does not work. Maybe EA could fix the majority of outstanding bugs and original map bugs BEFORE releasing yet another set of maps that essentially creates the need for a 3rd server and breaks the BF2 community apart even further.

I have reverted back to all original maps for now.

I'd love to add the new maps, but if there are 40/40 on the server playing Gulf of Oman and then next map changes to Operation Smoke Screen (EF Map) - you end up loosing half if not 3/4 of the players and then the server essentially stops.

EA/Dice disgusts and sickens me by the lack of forethought, insight and consideration for the entire gaming community of players and admins who continue to support their lackluster efforts.

You are right about this.

I bought EF and I can't play the game bec. of the memory error I get when it starts loading a map. This is the first time I won't be able to play BF2. I'm not mad, I love BF games and will still buy every expansion.

I hope DICE would just start making BF3 instead. They could just license the crytek2 engine and focus their attention on contents.

So whihc community are they exactly listening too? EF is a total pile of crap and not because it should be free. Its the same content as BF2, nothing new apart from skins. Pathetic...

No help as always EA. Get with the times and support IE7.

They do not support BETA products, and I don't blame them! This not only affects EA Downloader, but any program which was written for IE6 using ActiveX controls will not work on ActiveX for Ie7 because they are different coding methods.

PEACE

Reading comments like the just re-enforces most peoples comments that most of the problems are PEBKAC (Problem exists between keyboard and chair)

Most of the problems that people are having, have nothing to do with EA but are caused by their own setup or lack of reading instructions, then they go and complain to the BBB LMAO.

You have no clue what you're talking about. All Microsoft products are betas, BF2 is basically a beta too anyways.

Re: Community Update - 3/15/06

Truth is the content doesn't interest me at all, I would have rather seen a Delta Force type expansion with little bird helicopters and somalia/mogadishu type backdrops or maybe some Sir Lanka/Indonesia backdrops. Great Wall? might as well have made a map around the Eiffel Tower.

I like it!

Battlefield 2 Black Hawk Down would be great, would fit with some talk I've been hearing about using other games types from Conquest. Objectives based games, with objective based victory conditions.

Red Orchestra BLOWS compared to BF2. Don't mislead anyone into thinking it's on the same level.

Yep, RO does not even come close to being on the same level as BF2.
