i think it was a bad idea to release a patch that wasnt engineered by the people who designed it, although i think the dev team deserves a little R and R considering the kind of hell they go through under EA's deadlines

using a "patch" team that doesnt know what they are doing = bad move
recalling developers in order to fix "patch" teams mistakes = bad move

i have known for a while now that EA is full of crap, but c'mon this is just silly

teach the team a lesson.... no more fuckups... no vacation till they get it working right...




now.. if only they could teach that lesson to microsoft...

Its nice to hear there is a major effort to correct the issues with the game, but I wish they would have resolved most of them BEFORE the game was released.

LOL! I KNOW! writing entire operating systems is hilariously simple, right! i totally hate them, even though i use their software every time i turn on my computer! it's fun to make fun of microsoft because it's just so easy, youknow!?

Wow. You're a tool. You realize they probably crunched like 18 hours a day for the last 3 weeks because EA wanted them to make the release date, right? And the reason these issues exist in the first place is because the way EA treats their developers?
 
I love the EA hate, when none of you have ever worked for them.

But to stay on topic, there is a huge gap in the quality levels of EA's various QA teams. For the most part, they're sports games are solid from the get go. Everything else...not so much.
 
I think it's funny that the patch they released made things worse. LOL. At least they're trying to fix their mistakes. I'm sure after the fourth or fifth patch--like in BF1942--things will be fully operational. That's probably when I'll buy the game.
 
hahaha

I just remembered how bad the port of Halo was for the PC. Its netcode quite possibly falling into BF2ish terroritory, if you take out a couple years.
 
Truthfully, if "worse" means I can actually use the server browser, then I'm more than happy with "worse". Roommates having some problems, but luckily, i'm running clean and clear.

The only major problem that I have noticed is the memory leak that has been dropping weaker servers after an hour or so of play.
 
If my boss decided to "recall" me from a well earned vacation, I'd tell him to shove it up his ass and find someone else to figure it out. I can wait for a better patch.

lol :)
 
Sad part is, EA runs the Graduate Animation/Game Design Academy here for the Digital Media program. Hope they don't pass on these work methods/ethics to graduates.
 
More and more servers have rolled back now. I guess I'll have to face the reinstall pretty soon. BIg pain to have to reinstall to negate a patch. That blows.

I'm gonna hold out until finding a patched server is too tough.
 
Par for course.

EA shows proof that they have learned absolutely nothing from the BF:V debacle.

Unfortunately, the DICE development team gets the brunt of the blame.

FSCK EA.
 
Eh, battlefiled just has to many problems, and this is coming from a Counterstrike player that has played it since it came out and been patched many times.

kinda makes me glad was deployed a week before this thing came out...I would have gotten it if I were at home. As luck has it, I should be home by the time they work all the bugs out, hopefully I can find it for 39.99 too

Yep, anyone with half the knowledge of the gaming biz knows thats how all the game developers work... they force the devs to push it through working or not.

have you read some of the articles about ea treatment of employees? not fun

and their sports game are solids be because they dont change anything. just copy paste new rosters and your good to go for another $50 a game.
 
Give it a while. In time, BF2 will be a great game for everybody. Right now, I'm just content it runs perfectly on my machine.

Cause their sports games are the same every year with a tweaked roster, lol.

I didn't like having to reinstall, but it was a trivial process. Since the DVD was still in the drive, the biggest hassle was finding the manual so I could put the code back in, lol. It saved all of my in-game settings. Tweak the shortcut to run it at 1920x1200 and voila, good to go again.

I had saved the pbweb client, so that was easy too. Probably wasn't even necessary.

you only can change a sports game so much.... and its not the same, each year they add more game modes, better graphics, smarter AI, and more...
 
Yea, Madden for example, I don't buy it every year but I rent it atleast. They keep improving graphics, gameplay, and new modes. Regardless of how good it was before, after trying the new one you won't want to go back.

Yea, even though the Server browser sucks, the game itself was fun as heck, i just picked it up today and have been having tons of fun even with the bugs.
 
The patch made very nice improvements to the server browser... then I had to re-install :(

If you filter for ranked servers, you will see that most have reverted back to pre patch version. That's how it is on my list.

Yeah, ditto for me. I ran the 1.01 patch until last evening 'cause it worked well for me. But all the [H]Military guys were using 1.0, so I had to uninstall AGAIN. LOL Oh well, the new patch should be out this week. *crosses fingers*
 
I wonder why they couldn't just release a counter-patch that would revert to or replace the old files instead of recomending an entire re-install.

hardmilitary has a ranked server running now? How is it?

They don't have their own ranked server, but I just play with them on pub ranked servers. According to their web site, however, they're supposed to get their own ranked server today or tomorrow.

Because that would be the logical thing to do and that isn't EA's style.
 
1.0 froze up on my comp because of the browser, but 1.01 was great expect Puck buster was alwaslys like: "Punkbuster has detecded old version Error CL1.110" I hope they keep the improvements to the browser in the new 1.01. BTW, Can I patch from the curent 1.01 to the new one, when it comes out?

Some servers never got their PB updates, so they were stuck on 110. I had this happen to me, too. I rolled back to the 1.0 version of BF2 and then all the servers I've joined have worked fine with PB. This is a nice mess. :) I don't know if the new patch will update the 1.01 game or not. No one official has spoken to this.

I still see plenty of ranked 1.01 servers. LIke some people this game is running great for me, but my roommate is having stuttering issues. For me, it's much better than version 1.0
