BF2S Forums BF2..worst code ever written ?

Are we talking about client crashes or server crashes, or both??
The client crashes dont bother me that much, the maps load quite quickly anyway cos i got a super fast Raptor HDD, but as mentioned by somebody who got 5 x CTD in a row, I would be blooody pissed off, espeically if its after the map has finished loading

The server crashes are a bloody nightmare, try getting a clan server full when your running the Master Ban list which stops most of the BF2 community from joining (cos they love hacks) and then for it to crash ever other round

i dont know what the fuss is all about, ive never had any problems with bf2 crashing on me, the game crashed on me more often back when it was patch 1.21, since patch 1.3 im not the one who crashes, its the servers 100% of the time...i do agree with the system requirements being all f-ed up, cuz my graphics card isnt even listed on there and it works fine, my bro's pc is way below in cpu requirements and it runs bf2 fine

even so, anyone noticed how in single player, while in jet, whenever u would fire a missile it would say , FOX ONE, FOX TWO!...y isnt that online??? that sound so cool

thirdly...the Play Now button has never worked, even since patch 1.0, DICE admitted it themselves they fucked up in putting that feature

p.s. incase ur wondering what pc i got
Nforce 3 motherboard
AMD 64 Athlon 3200+ (2.1 ghz OC)
2 Gigs ram
256 mb Nvidia Geforce 6600

so those of u with higher end pc's...probably you're drivers or hard drive thats the problem (try defragmenting every now and then, especially after deleting your porn libraries)

OK, my record is ctd 5 times in a row. Anyone who beats that??
And the thing with waiting to join the server.... tried that. Waited a while and suddenly it ctd anyway. So, when the "join server button" appears, i click on it, cause waiting is BS. If its going to ctd, it will no matter how long you wait.

i can beat that. 32 in a row. 1 hour 20 minutes wasted. can you beat that?

Anyone who keeps trying after 3 in a row deserves what they get.

My game runs great and never crashes, except for a CTD maybe once every couple days.  Big deal, I start over and continue playing within a couple minutes.  This is a smooth running, awesome game, and all my friends feel the same way.  Your computers must suck and/or be setup improperly.

Someone 'in the know' has told me that the code for this game got our of control early on.  Other
programming teams were put on the task, whom instead of correcting original code, sadly added even
more problems.  if you recall, the game release was pushed back and back.  Finally, they decided to
release what they knew was riddled with bugs anyway, with the assumption that they would have all
of you (the customer) test and report all bugs found on a mass scale and release a patch fixing them
at a later date. 

Rumor also has it, that they went on a vacation the week of release. Which by itself is proof they could
care less about quality, rather most about your money.

I think we all know the rest of the story..   patch after patch, worse and worse, and now rumor has it
BF2 is going to be non supported soon entirely as they gear up for more of your money in their BF2 2142
release.

This is the world of EA.  They truly are the worst in the market. Bar none.

Well, you all have said some nasty things about bf2 and to be honest i am disappointed as well.  I would gladly join any lawsuit because this company has put out the biggest turd ever.   this comes to you from a guy whos first BF2 experience went as follows: spawn on flight deck jump into driver seat of blackhawk take off with 5 passengers get shot down, punished for 5 tks and booted from the server.
instead of pleasing the idiots by complaining about the latest patch i will just list what i think needs fixing. 
The planes are too dangerous and bomber ownage is inevitable.  too hard to shoot down.  Same with the helicopters one AT rocket if u hit shout take it out. its hard enough to get a hit there should be a payoff. and the handling on the helis is rediculous no slide left and right? what is that?  The jumping noob tube was annoying enough now to fix they ruin the jump stand crouch prone AND make it so the tube wont arm for 15m SOMETIMES.  1 smoke grenade? cmon i cant have more than one?  If they did something where the infantry stood even a prayer against the helos this could be a good game.  The planes can see farther than the AA how is that fair?  Dalian plant can they adjust the timing on aircraft spawn so the take off, bomb runway, bail, kill waiters, steal plane would go away?  3RB MOBB's favorite exploit, by the way.  People will do whatever they can do to get points and that is sad that people would exploit game mechanisms to win.  All they have to do to make this game great is random spawn in a radius around the point and give some sort of AA kit or weapon.  As it stands the helos and planes totally own the battlefield.  It also seems that i cant kill anyone.  I shoot get hits no die.  to make worse clans put no main rules in effect so you cant keep the planes and helos down b4 they take off.  Bombing the runway over and over to keep the other team down is a sad tactic and shows lack of flying skill.  of course if the planes were equals then this behavior would be unecessary.  Not enough AA vehicles.   it seems rediculous that u stand a better chance of shooting down a plane or heli with a jeep than with the AA?  I have played this game since the day it was released and im just about done with it maybe there will be some good mods.  I dont care about points anymore i just want to play a well rounded FUN game. this game is not fun.  Desert combat was fun if u started getting owned by the aircraft you could shoot it down, i miss that.  i saw a guy go 65-0 in a heli the other day hovering over our last spawn and if noone thinks that is a problem they are wrong as wrong can be.  Same with the bomber ownage.  nothing can be done?  I like the idea of helos and planes in addition to infantry combat but it is supposed to be a game. what kind of game is it when there is no defense?  at least now the aa works occasionally.  Special forces and infantry maps rule this get in an aircraft=never die or 65-1 has got to go.  Lay some handheld stingers out thatll make it more interesting.  and maybe fun.  1.0 was the best ?  then you dont remember trying to get an apc up a hill on a road and not being able to cause the thing wouldnt even crawl up a hill.  This game was obviously never PLAYED by the people that designed it.  refer to my first bf2 experience that says it all.  No i will not buy 2142 and please email me the info on getting on board with the suit.  IM IN.  Look at the leader boards this is all these guys are doing is flying and owning good for them no fun for anyone else.  we have all seen the scoreboards 35-1, 30-1,40-1,35-3 all aircraft no infantry stars.  That in my humble opinion sucks monkey ass.  Give it some balance and it could be great and i must admit it looks outstanding it just doesnt play well.  Thats all i have for now; the whiners have won but the wrong ones.  I for one am sick and tired of getting spawn killed wherever i go.  its lame and weak and surely not the makings of the most intense online shooter ever.  Arty could be less frequent as well a lot less maybe then  the commander would have to lead instead of hide.  hell i would be happier with 5 artys per round.  and stop hating on the cartillery it is something for the commander to do to get those snipers.  keeps the game moving.  What really needs fixing is the aircraft ownage its rediculous and lame and could be easily fixed.  !.4 limit the mobility of the infantry as if we needed that.   what it does need is a helo rape inhibit maybe make the guns overheat fast.  the planes need an adequate anti as well.  These things are what make this game suck not the prone spamming.  limiting infantry mobility can only hurt everyone and make heli whoring and tking for vehicles even more commonplace thatn it already is.  Call this whining and you are a fool call it perspective and maybe well get somewhere.

this isnt to answer everything but...1.helis are easy to hit with anything, even a tank its a matter of being good at it, so dont blame the game if u cant hit anything, 2. helis can slide sideways, again, its all about the pilot, i do it all the time and avoid getting hit by aa missiles, 3. helis can see farther for a reason...they're up higher, 4. not enough aa's? ever played fushe pass, midnight sun, ghost town, or operation road rage??? aa's get annoying up the ass

ahhhh, yess... the old EA line....

'wait until the next patch..it will get fixed.'

yeaaaaaahhh....

1 year after release... same bugs.. EXACT same bugs..actuslly, theres MORE bugs..

complain a lot ? well thats funny..I never complained at all before the last patch..
I'd say 9 crashes out of 10 attempts is a pretty good reason..
besides this thread is titled 'Complain' isnt it?

Maybe its just you. I hardly EVER CTD.

I agree its not as bad as some people say it is at least you are not crashing anymore so thats a plus, it could be better so stick with what they got or otherwise play something else.
