BF2S Forums Excuse me?

LOL i didnt have a chance to respond to his ( You people could bitch about everthing.
) comment....  errrummm this is a complain forum  lol of course we all complain here  THATS WHAT THIS FORUM IS CALLED   lol

whatever... we're screwed and no one cares.

I`d spend 30 bucks for a BF2 NUKE.  that would be a BLAST ( pun intended ).  but Ive got enough TKs already...  it would be an auto kick every time you used it. i can just see it now,, I take off in my jet fly over enemy ground drop the device.. ( i play 64 pl servers ) i`d get 32 kills and 31 TKs  lol

Yeah, I don't see any reason to close that other thread.  Wasn't even that bad, it was at maybe 90 degrees, not 451.

I have d/l the patch but held off on install, listening to others experiences first.  Now I'm thinking I will never install.  I don't want Special Forces, particularly.  Some new maps would be cool, but the idiots will have a "600 watt" hack within a week - i'll be squinting in the dark, and they'll be seeing me like it's Zatar.  I'll be fine with continuing to play vanilla BF2.  And since the 1.12 patch seems to be mostly about stitching BF2 and BF2:SF together, I won't be needing it.

I've had enough of EA and their bullshit.  If it's not one thing, it's a hundred.  If failing to patch costs me the ability to continue playing the game, it'll cost them a user and future customer.

You bitched and moaned. Your expressed your opinion and vented to the world. Did you need more than that? A lively (...) debate about who's screwing who?

You said your piece, had a go with a few people and I think we can call it quits now. As fun as it is to bitch and moan, I have that section their only because if I didn't these posts would litter the rest of the forums.  Sometimes you just need to scream, and I understand that.

I thought it was rather civilized, compared to just about any other thread in this section, some of which have been going on for page after page. This thread was closed after only 19 replies or so. If you feel the thread needs to close before it hits page two then that's your right as a moderator. But I don't see anything in that thread that warrants the quick lock it got.

Neither I, nor (AFAIK) any of the members here, can actually *do* anything about this except agree/disagree -- which in this particular situation don't really do anything but add post count.

Again, like just about all other threads in this section.

Was their something *more* that you were perticularily burning to express that your 10 paragraphs already didn't?

My post was too elaborate? Sorry, next time I will cut down on the word count. And yes, I was hoping I could actually get some of my questions answered, like why the official EA Europe ranked servers only play "Strike at Karkand" since the patch. I was hoping people could explain why I had to download a 280Mb patch that didn't solve any of the current issues and only introduced a few more. And I was hoping to read about other people's feelings about this patch. Maybe I'm doing something wrong, maybe I simply don't understand what's going on, maybe I should simply quit my "bitching and moaning" and play another game. But I really liked BF2 before the patch. Hence a thread about it.

If you wanted to go beyond just complaining, let me address your core issue:

And these people have an (unfair) advantage over people who didn't buy SF

I can't actually confirm it, but so far I have found the "extra" unlock to actually be rather balanced. The flash grenades being the only major exception. The zip/grappel don't carry over. I have to do more research into this, but I imagine the stats for the "SF Unlocks" will not be much different than any of the regular unlocks.

Well good, that's your opinion. My opinion is a bit different. And apparantly, so is a lot of other's.

Again, this is not a flame. I will respect your final decision as a moderator. So if you tell me your final decision is to keep it closed, I will keep my mouth shut from now on (I promise ). Hell, I own and run a (non-game) forum myself with 12,000 members and about 3000-5000 new posts each day. I know you sometimes have to close threads to keep things in order. But again, I really don't think anything in that thread warrants it to be closed so quickly.

And my apologies for again an elaborate post. I can't express myself in any other way than to make sure I get my point across (I also hit the Preview button about 30 times and check for spelling and grammar - I'm funny in that aspect).

if you dont patch you will run out of servers to play on.

Well -- I'll second ClarkVent's opinion here after reading the original thread and this one here.

The original thread was one of the more remarkable posts around here -- elaborate, well-founded and substantial.

I don't understand why people close those threads, but at the same time ask and order not to open a thousand threads about the same topic -- and I think that more than a few share ClarkVent's problems and concerns.

There should be enough space in the database for a good discussion.

My 2¢.

good point.  if my k/d was below .3 i would try to flame ppl too. 

also, complaining and cooling down dont really go hand-in-hand.

burned.

All these SF complaints are giving me a headache, this is worse than when the 1.03 patch came out for crying out loud. You people KNEW what to expect from EA. Give it a rest. I hope all the other pointless threads that no one can do anything about also get closed.

Including this one.

Interesting how 'With all due respect (Because you are mod/admin)'. I don't believe in treating anyone differently whether they're mod/admin/member/guest etc. If there's something on your chest that you would blow off at someone that doesn't have the rights to ban you, you're a shameless hypocrite.

Well, I do (believe in treating mods/admins differently). I'm not "afraid" of being banned because simply put, I don't care. After all, this is an internet-forum and I can perfectly live my life without access to it. I treat them differently because I know how difficult it can be to moderate a forum. I also know it's time volunteerly spent, and therefore they should receive some respect.

Unless of course they abuse their moderator "powers". In such a case they will not receive any respect from me at all and I will actually treat them worse than ordinary members.

I also treat police-officers differently than ordinary civilians. Not because I'm afraid of being jailed, but because I know how difficult the job is. If that makes me a suck-up, so be it.

What makes you think we need (or want) your respect?

Wow.

I don't remember peeing in your cornflakes lately. But, to answer your question, you have proven to me you indeed do not deserve my respect. You are simply a stuck up moderator who's obviously not fit for the job. You will not answer my questions, and you are being rude and arrogant while I have been (IMO) polite and courteous in my questions. Must be the "status" that comes with the job that has gone to your head. We'll see if you have the balls to leave this thread open and/or leave my post unedited.

Time to move on I guess. So no need to worry about my "elaborate" posts anymore, nor my bitching and moaning in your Bitch and Moan forum. Thank you for making a new member feel really welcome. (insert rolling eyes smiley here)

To all others, if I get BF2 to work again, perhaps we'll meet in the game. (and remember kids, that's all it is, a game )
