sunbscription fees ? for what

really these services dindt cost ea so much. for such a ranking system you dont need such a big server farm or something else
these stats semms to be huge amount of data but for an sql server this is peanuts

ife also an rankingsystem running for a sportcommunity in my country. we also have tournament programms tousand of players with many statistics and hundretausend of game results. and our old database server (shich is really old really slow) sleeps :-)

sorry but there is no reason for paying additional. first we are still betatester (the game is still buggybuggy) we have still only a few maps in the std edition AND the game was sold as only multiplayer with the special offer of that ranking list
and there was no information this rankinglist will stop in 2007

they made millions over millions with this game.
and instead of solving problems with this engine and serverbrowser they deleopt a new browser and solved this problems only to make a new game (with the same engine) so they use bf2 as beta test for bf2142 but we payed so much for that

and now also bf2142 has this stats problems. that a bug joke or the biggtest robbery since microsoft and sun (lol)

Haha! Well spoken even if the English was a little broken. I was not suggesting that EA is not a bunch of greedy bastards. If that were true, then they would not have destroyed all the small studios along with UbiSoft and Viventi. Unfortunately at the turn of the century, all the competative small studios were bought up and absorbed into several larger ones because the PC gaming industry became a hugely profitable market. All the cut-throat tactics that we see in every other major industry spilled into PC gaming as it had in console gaming only years before.

EA is despicable in a way, but that doesn't mean I don't like BF2 and if I were guarunteed some kind of stats protection, I might be willing to pay a tiny monthy fee or even a one time additional fee to the game. I mean I don't play WoW, but I know that Blizzard does not put their customers through this kind of bullsh!t. I realize that the servers are not that taxed from these stats, but perhaps the 24/7 wear on the actual machines from several million users is taxing itself.

As for the claims that BF2 is dead, I think that's absurd and insulting to the players and this website. Just because you are sick of playing and can afford to shell out 50 bucks for a new game every week does not mean the rest of us are disinterested. From what I can tell, BF2142 was a flop by comparison and now EA has another BF in progress.

In truth, it doesn't matter if you are over BF2 or I am not. Only the numbers matter. People are still buying fresh copies off the shelves and there are still tens of thousands playing. For EA to alienate all those customers would be bad business. I'm not claiming to boycott EA or anything irrational, but there are smaller studios that are making comebacks and creating better and better games. Bethesda is a good example. If EA continues to ignore the desires of its customers, it will lose out. Look at GM in the 1960's compared to today. It's a text book example of this. Hubris is a dangerous thing.

@bluehavoc

yes sorry my english isnt correct in anyway,.. i understand 99% i read, i also watch films in english but ife massive problems to speak it or write it down ,....

the problem for smal studios is the technology. were on a level where a big game cost same amount of time, personal and money a big hollywood blockbuster costs. its not longer possible 2or 3 man write a game everyone enjoy. games like elite (written by one man and portated to all big platforms for over 10 years) wont be possible anymore. we wanna have grakt and fast and ultra realistic grafics, ug free and realistic gameplay perfect networking and so on

thats why the small studios got absorbed. they wasnt able to produce alone and they didnt have the 5-25 million dollars to produce a new game+(some games cost over 50 millions,..)

the problems with smal studios we see in bf2. the original engine was made by a small one. and it wasnt possible to develop it 99% bugfree for them. i know some softwarecompanys going broke because their projekts took 3or 4 months longer than they thought. so this busniness isnt easy at all

often people think . hey for software you need no resources so the development cannot cost so much..but this is pretty wrong
and whne oyu have your game written you have to place marketing worldwide,.. pay an support team,... other plenty millions going down the river bevore the first game is installed

so there is a need for big producers like ea. and im not angry they made it well and make such a big busniness.
but i think they have to support their users. and they didnt

the problem is to say dont buy ea games ,.. hahah good joke like stop gaming forever. they have so many titles you punish yourself if you really try never play an ea game again

and now were on the downside of global free market,.. the idea behind the free marked was to get better products and prices in fight for evey customer
but ea has won. is still so big and dicttate what they want. nobody can stop them so easyly. they bought the most know how and a good part of all good gamedevelopers,.. ok still some smaller one out there but without a real chance

ea has the game market in the same hand like microsoft has the market for office and operating systems and google for internetplattforms (and google still comming bigger and bigger)

but there is a hope.... the big empire rome hat the same problem... they was powerful and stable until the got too big.. then theybroke
lets hope we get lucky and some of the these big fishes eat to much :-)
