BFV ftw! Now THAT would be fun


Ill believe it when I see it, but with BF2 as popular as it still is (especially compared to 2142) I cant see how they cannot support this game.

So long as its mostly bug and glitch fixes and maybe a new map or two, thats fine by me.

Yeh, if anyone read my gist translation, it said they wont be dropping the ranking system/support.

omg new patch? that means new weapons!!11111!!

I'm crossing my fingers for a 10-round magazine for the MK3A1 Jackhammer and a fix for all the grenade spamming. "No Grenades" server option FTW!!! Oh and just a tad little fix on the helicopter machine guns to balance it out.

Didn't some guy say the patch was suppose to come out this month?

damn. really? that sounds cool
wait it was kind of unclear in your post but did you say it will COST to get the new patch?

A full translation from your friend google:


The team of “BATTLEIFIELD2-NEWS.DE” had the chance DICE (developer BF2) in April an attendance abzustatten. The following questions were placed to Lars Gustavsson (Creative Director) there and Sean Decker (Executive producer) (SOURCE: www.battlefield2-news.de): Battlefield 2
Question: Will it give still another further Patch?
Answer: It is a Patch in work

Question: Is the Rankingsystem released also for Mods? It is already for a very long time spoken of it.
Answer: The will for the release of the Rankingsystem for Mods is present, however there is no possibility the Rankingsystem for Mods to release at present still. When reasons obstruct those the conversion, us the support which can be furnished and the costs developing from it were called. To knowledge it is interesting that 95% the Battlefield player play only on Ranked servers.

Question: Will it give an official map luggage, which can also be played on the Ranked servers and one supports?
Answer: In addition we may not say anything.

Question: How long will the BF2/BF2142 account server still run?
Answer: There are no plans the account servers to turn off at present. As long as BF2 and BF2142 are played, the climbing OD server system remains existing.

Question: Will it give further maps for Special Forces to near future?
Answer: Sorry, no comment.

Question: Is the editor for BF2 completely published?
Answer: For the BF2 editor gives at present no plans to extend this with further functions.

Question: Will it give a further AddOn?
Answer: No, further AddOns or Busterpacks is not at present planned for BF2.

Question: Why is communication so bad to the Mod teams?
Answer: The problem recognized DICE and adjusted a new HQ Community manager Colin Clack. It is in contact with verse. Mod teams and is this still further to deepen. He is also the partner to questions or suggestions of the editor.

Question: Why large Patches instead of repeatedly smaller nose-fixed?
Answer: Patches and nose-fixed are extremely complex and expensive. However the next to last BF2 Patch version 1.4 cost approximately $300,000. The reason for the enormous costs is mainly at the complex tests of the software and different conditions and on the most different systems. (Quality assurance) for this reason it is to be supplied not possible the user with smaller and faster nose-fixed. If a Patch is posed, this can be given not immediately to the Download freely. For this only the legal bases must be clarified. In each country different right applies. Only if this hurdle is taken, the file can on the DL server.

Question: Does Dice of products plan to answer over to the competition such as ET qs or front LINEs?
Answer: They expect also with tension ET qs and front LINEs. Even if one of the plays should be better than a play of DICE, the Community has thereby more advantages. Since competition animates the business and creativity, the player can rely on the fact that Dice will try to improve its products further.

Question: Where does the navy remain?
Answer: Thematically it does not fit any longer correctly in BF2. In the today's time the navy is a mobile operations center and no more as e.g. in 2 the' ten world war involved in fighting actively. Result: Long speech, short sense. The rumors it NO further Patch for Battlefield 2 to give is to have been probably finally weakened, might thereby. However it is already nervig if nearly each third question with “NO COMMENT or “to it we may not say anything” are answered.

Thanx for the Info +1

Duh, 1.4 was soooo good.  Don't change any more!

Antwort: Sorry, no comment.


Frage: Will there be a editor for bf2?
Antwort: No plans.


Frage: Will there be any addons?
Antwort: No, none planned.

No one has commented on the difference in answers, he gives. Why doesn't he say "yes" or "no", on the question about new SF maps? He says no to any new content such as booster packs or expansions. Does this mean we will get a new SF map, but he can't comment on it yet? Of course, this is pure speculation, due to how he answered the question. But if we did get a new SF map, I sure hope it involves the SEALs and MECSF, I'm getting tired of The Iron Gator, and I would like to receive my medals soon.

I hope for a new map included in the patch!!! !!!

From ea forums today

Posted: Wed 8th Aug, 2007 15.40 pm    Post subject: Battlefield 2 patch information 

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

As many of you know already there is a new patch currently in development for Battlefield 2 which will address a large number of gameplay issues, balancing and bugs which have been reported through this forum and other sources.

Naturally there is a great deal of speculation about what the patch will contain and there have been several posts from users claiming to have insider knowledge into the final makeup of the patch.

While we understand the need and demand for further information, at this time there is nothing further to add except to say that patch development is progressing and so far is on schedule.

When we have definite, finalised fix lists or a release date for the patch we will update this thread immediately, however until that time there is nothing further to be added.

I would also reiterate the point that until you see information regarding the patch on an official EA site, such as this forum or the US site, posted by an EA employee take any information you receive with a pinch of salt.

Apologies for the frustration at the wait, however it is vital that the patch be delivered in the best possible condition, improving the game from where it is now and solving many of the issues and complaints which have been received so far. Similarly, speculative information from us at this point will undoubtedly lead to disappointment as the makeup of the final, release, patch will not be set in stone until it enters the final testing phase.
