BF2S Forums What do you think of this?

I really feel sorry for the author of that video and the nerds commenting in the last part, going all angry and personal for BS like this.

I don't think BF2 is the perfect game, not even close. But I can look at two very simple things in my stats page.
The first is       Total      509:05:58
The second is   Cost ($50 base)      9.8213 cph

Adeguate reasons to consider BF2 a great game.

I bet the majority of those whining kids have bought all SF, EF and AF, giving more money to EA/DICE.
You, Patton, have played this game for 1422 hours and bought both SF and AF.
If this game is SO shitty, why playing it so much? Why giving them more money?

When they started modifying things like the blackhawk, the noobtube, TV's range,  why didn't you (not you Patton, all the whiners) stopped playing?
Simple, because there isn't another game like this.
So, if you wanna play a game like this, you have to adapt.
Otherwise, stop playing, stop giving them money and move to some different company. That's how modern economy works.

But in some cases, I think it's just a very bad form of addiction. And the most hardcore crybabies woul play this game (and whine about it) even with water-pistols and slingshots.

I tend to agree. They spent way more time appeasing whiners than they did actually fixing bugs.

I don't think I'll be purchasing and future Battlefield games.

yh y the music for tht video, lol kinda creepy, made me cry

I agree with you , although i haven´t played bf2 that long and only from patch 1.3, so im not really sure about all the mess with the patches, and how much the game has changed as a result, but i do know that EA needs to learn from this and think a bit more in us, the gaming community. after all we the ones that put EA where they are today.!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! but then again EA is only a money making machine and not much more???????????

No matter what anyone says and how bad the bugs were at one point, I still think Bf2 is one of the best multiplayer games of all time. It will certainly be a classic despite all of its flaws. I see the game more of a monument of the last good game made by DICE and EA. I won't be buying anymore games from EA or DICE because of what they made people put up with, but I'm not gonna be a hypocrite and say the game isn't awesome.

I only play BF2 because it's the only game on the market with a good gameplay system (as in Conquest, and spawning in and whatnot), that lets you do almost anything you want: infantry, tanks, jets, choppers.

But EA and DICE have fucked up royally. 2142 is collecting dust. It was OK but not as good as BF2 is, or was on release. But I remember when BF2's demo came out, I was playing it almost non-stop. BF2 came out, I played it a bit but my system didn't like it for some reason. In September I began playing it again, DAMN was that fun. I'm ashamed though, that I slowly devolved into a whiner about the GL (which I agree needed a slight change), diving, and hopping. Honestly, the only thing I don't like about dolphin diving in retrospect is that it looks retarded. If you had a more realistic-looking way of avoiding fire (IE much faster strafing) it'd be fine.

Digital Illusions CE Sweden is an embarrassment to Sweden.

Digital Illusions CE Canada was an embarrrassment to Canada (thank God they got closed down when EA bought out DICE)

EA Games is an embarrassment to America.

This triumvirate (well, a duo now) is a fucking disgrace to humanity. I can only hope that a developer with good developing skills and excellent community concern will make a game like BF2, without the shitty bugs, the shitty gameplay (note: I mean that as in slow movement, retarded methods of dodging fire, etc), the fucking stupid nerfing. Come on Valve, I'm sure many BF2 fans would pay you a handsome sum of cash for a BF2-like game that's actually well-built by a good company.

Fuck you EA, fuck you DICE, I hope one day I'll be managing both of you so I can fire you all. Wait, no, I'd rather get testicular torsion than work at EA or DICE.

edit: Yes, I actually do enjoy the Ranking system. It gives the game a lot of longevity.

4.  Does EA appear to listen to some costomer complaints?

Those aren't complaints, that's just bitching by skilless nubs. While the LMGs and snipers were inaccurate, the LMGs got way too large a boost in 1.2 (later set to good levels in 1.22). Snipers got a good boost though.

I think the only reason people stick around is cause no other game does what BF2 does.

EA definitely needs to do some revamping to their company and get it back to the way it was before. But since they're so big, I doubt they'll even care. That's why I love small companies, they know that they need their fans and they actually try to get things right instead of just trying to make a quick buck.

But I will still continue to play BF2 since it's still pretty decent. I just hope that EA/DICE puts a little more thought and effort in the next game they release.

Yes I bought SF, but that was before a lot of the problems, plus its better then the original. I didn't get EF or AF initially because they didn't release them on CD/DVD and I like having a tangible hard copy of things I buy. Call me old fashioned or what ever, but when I buy something I want it easily accessible at any time.

Also I haven't and wont buy BF 2142 and will have to think strongly about the pros and cons before buying any other EA games. So EA hasn't got any money out of me since Nov 2005, and probably wont get any for years to come.

I payed for the game and it was great when I got it, so I have every right to complain when they fuck it up. Would I buy the game in the state it i now, the answer is probably still yes because it is still a good game, but I'd know what I was purchasing, instead of buying something great and have it broken.
As for stop playing, it costs nothing for me to continue to play, Ive already paid my money and I don't own a server so EA gets no extra money (directly) from me if I continue playing or not. So I may as well get all the use out of the game I payed for.

Exaggeration or not, I will stop playing if it got too bad.

you paid 50 dollars for this game

wtf

don't expect it to be perfect for you for the hundreds of hours you play

(directed to those who agree with the video)

I expect it to be close to perfect on release and patches are just for minor bug fixes, balancing issues and additional content. I defiantly expect the game to improve with patches not get worse both with balancing and bugs. and if you don't expect the same you will never get a bug free game.
It doesn't matter what you think about there games, Blizzard are the best in the business with customer support and satisfaction, EA just doesn't compare, and until they improve they have lost mine and many other peoples business.

Good to see the BF community actually praise the game. Well done guys keep it up!!

Great game still imo .. that's I always come back for more.
