BF2S Forums Inside Info On New Patch 1.3 Lowering Medal Reqs

k...?

they arent trying to kill off the game, hell, there are still tons of 1942 servers up and running

Too bad I wont be buying Mechwarrior 2142... Looks terrible.

makes me mad after working really hard for some of my badges then some people just get them with much less effort.  I guess I have to stop using my rank as a comparison to other people and just use to measure myself......wait now thats sad BF2 has turned into GOLF

screenshots of me?  my bf2s nick isnt my ingame one u know?

I had guessed that was the motive behind it..

Same here. It won't work for me, in fact, it has repelled me more.

So, what's the problem?  EA is running a business, right?

Yeah, was kinda cool, But does anybody know the new uber of BF2 at the moment?
I didn't play for a few months and when i logged in again i recived the navy and mec medals.
and yesterday the marksman inf medal and knife expert without any use of a knife....??

Does anybody know what the changes are? i guess they changed more.

And Btw why would you have to check for 400h for the last inf medal if you need all the expert badges and they requier 100h each...?

again if they want us to buy the new game (once it's out) they can just shut down their character server...
I think those medals and badges are nice and shiney and it's fun to get them but I dont play this game only to get those medals.
And people complaining because of all the "work" they put into getting their badges should maybe redfine their understanding of work. Work is getting up early, moving your butt out of the house to earn your living and not sitting in front of a computer getting some pixel-medallions (unless your name is jonas wendel or whatever he's called)

It's not going to sway me one bit. To be fair to EA/DICE, they had noooooo idea what the award requirements should have been from the beginning. But their decisions throughout the patching process leaves me shaking my head.

I'm a bit torn right now, BF2142 .vs Enemy Territory: Quake Wars. I'm leaning heavily towards ETQW because I want to hook up with a MOD team for a possible WWII(or modern warfare) total conversion. I know the Quake technology much better than the BF2 stuff. I enjoy the modding aspects more than playing itself... so... We can't mod the EA controlled servers, and I'm getting bored with the stats stuff. What to do...

if they "had idea" then shouldnt they have gotten an idea ? I mean how hard could it be..

I often think that EA/DICE doesnt even beta test ANY of their code before they just throw it out
there on the customer... lets be honest... it took them 2 months to release the first REAL patch
after the game was released... 2 MONTHS! wow.. thats unheard of... and then there were still
"150+" (their words..) fixes in their next patch.. thats horrible.... and now this patch I guarantee
will require a patch itself, guaranteed..

If you dont know about something...get a clue... then make your adjustments... dont wait 10
months later to get a clue..

EA and DICE are the worst programmers in the business... I wouldnt let them set the time on my
VCR.

LOL! I am never gonna finish by november

You know, it's funny.  I sit here and read the same posts over and over again by dozens of different people - complain, complain, complain.  IT'S A GAME.  Obviously the issues aren't that important because the complainers continue to play and post. 

The best are the people who gripe over the badges.  "I spent 400 hours WORKING for all my stuff.  Now EA cheapens it."  Are you freaking kidding me?  LOL

I'm not going to buy that game. I want to be in the top 10 before I quit this game.

Besides that I think this will be my last battlefield game i would have rather had more updates,more medals added periodically,more levels added as well then buy 2142
