BF2S Forums Interview with dice about the new patch.

Ps.: but it seems that they are changing quite a few things and for me it sounds (again... I liked 1.03!) for the better...

Yup.. but theyll probably do it half-assed like they usually do, i.e. blackhawks, bunny hopping, AA 'fix'.  You know what I'm saying

I'm hoping for the best. I'm excited to see the bitch moves getting axed, gonna be funny to watch them just panic while I mow them down. Most excited about the heli reduction. I hate seeing my tank not blow up an attack chopper. Charge my AA tank now you little nandies

It's interesting how they believe removing the ability to shoot and jump is going to stop bunny hopping. People will still be able to hop about to avoid fire, while reloading for example. The only thing it will affect directly is jumping and GL shooting.

I found this interesting, too:

TotalBF2.com: Can you please comment on "Helicopter now carry 8 missiles rather than 14"? And where did this idea come from?

Armando: This was a request directly from the franchise director. He felt that the helicopter payload was a little excessive and felt that this change was needed.

So, my understanding of that is that some guy up at the top decided that the helos had too many missiles, and that the change was final? No thought of how the community would react? What a crock of garbage, that's total disregard of customers at it's best.

Oh well, I'll adjust, just like I had to for the previous patches.

they are going to ruin bf2 more then it already is
the game is fine right now except the littly bitches who cry about bunny hopping..
well everyone can buny hop so why dont they just stfu..

.Dude your the dumbest person i have seen. Your just mad cuz there stopping bunny hopping cuz your not skilled and have to bunny hop to get points and not die. cuz you have no skill at this game so shut the fuck up!

Age of Empires III is out and it's good...and uhm...I like Dungeon Siege II...and then there's the upcoming "Red Orchestra", what I hear is going to be a KILLER WWII combat simulation. Aside from that, you have Half Life 2, Counter Strike: Source, all of the MMORPGs, and then some other shitty RTS's.

I'm surprised they don't even mention any bug fixes. Off the top of the head, these problems come to mind: your allies who sometimes don't appear on radar and have red names, the tapping of the side of a moving armored vehicle resulting in immediate obliteration, the instant death when attempting to run and jump over a corner created by a vehicle parked against a wall, the 1 shot tank kill from another, regular tank shell, the deaths where your player somehow instantaneously dies when exitting a vehicle at high speed (supposedly a clip by the tail of the vehicle they were driving, though this is infeasible when regarding the fact that deaths like this happen when merely travelling in a straight path), and the complete stomping of a death a tank can issue to an APC just by ramming it into a fairly snug corner. All of these concerns should've been dealt with, but why hasn't there been any word on them? On top of that, the fact that no infantry option will be added to modify the amount of time it takes for a claymore's motion recognition to activate is also a downer.

Really, I haven't seen anyone with a K/D ratio higher than 5 with a helicopter, so why would they think they need nerfing? The only understandable alteration I see here is the mitigation of the helicopters' armor.

Blaah,
Kniero

there was no plan for patch 1.2 or 1.3 until a few months ago.!!!!!!!<--- did they really not forsee patching this product!! Come on now your kidding?!?

Yea dont both with what the community wants its all about your boss. You bunch of sell outs. If im flying i rely on my gunner for kills anyways...and never dump all my shots in one pass. So now when i make my run ill be helplessly realoading after my passes. Maybe ill not be bothered. Doing this on one guys thoughts is alittle bias thou. Who's he think he is the KING of battlefield.

This company amazes me, EA mostly. Where are the from? Its like there aliens. I can only sit back and laugh thinking about these guys at work. Doing shit like forgeting the coffee cup when getting coffee. Or forgeting to get dressed for work and comming in the buff. Opps! I did it again!

The comments about Emails they recieve says it all. I would bet most people write emails when there angry. Which is why you get some typos and stuff. I bet they they rarely follow emails if not dicard them out right if they see typos. Id say they prolly recieved some hum dingers from some upset customers. No good ideas? I doubt it.

If we lose all the people who are complaining or dislike the new patch, than I say for the better. We wont miss your jet/Heli-whoring bunny hopping asses anyways.

On a side note, I think this forum should have your age listed under your name,  so that way I can quickly look at the posters age and disregard your replies and threads.  Better yet have a filter that can be selected so I don't have to read all the spam you sub 18 year old children are typing.

Wahh the chopper has 6 less rockets than it does in real life.  GET OVER IT BEOTCHES!

Oh yea, do I need to see half Naked girls that take up half the screen on my 1600x1200 resolution screen?  Grow up kids, your immaturity is disgusting.  Yea you might think that girl is hot rubbing her snatch through her red panties.  DO I care? No, and I'd rather not have to see that when reading a BF2 forum.  I prefer real flesh and blood stimulus.  Keep your softcore prono collection to yourselves.

There are 6 instances of those lame ass sigs in this thread already.

heh, sounds like you need some of that life and blood stimuli. Its the internet! It might not be what jesus wants but its all we got.

all the kiddies bitched about it constantly for the past 3 months. well, the moaning and whining worked, now infantry becomes even more powerless against vehicles.

How do you figure?

seems like they'll be nerfing the GLs in 1.3. GG whiner newbs, you win again.

I don't see a list of thing they're doing in 1.3, just a very vague mention of tweaking them in some way in 1.2.  Why don't we wait and see what they do to it before getting all worked up about it?

If they give it a minimum distance to arm, or tweak it so the "fire-it-at-your-feet" crowd actually takes damage, is that necessarily a bad thing?

Krappyappy wrote:

the funny thing is, the people who were good before the patches will probably still own after.

So what's the problem?  A lot of them probably will, because they'll adapt.

Good gamers will simply adapt their play style and keep going.  Crybabies will bitch, whine and moan that their favored exploits are gone.

Hey; you don't have to look at it
in any case thats not the point of this topic... and yes everyone needs to calm down and relax.  The patch will come out, things will be changed and there isn't a whole lot you can do about it
Just remember, bf2 is a game.  Games are for fun.  Have fun

Nice to see that the community media is asking the questions they're told to ask rather than putting a little bit of fire under their feet.

I agree on the porn thing, I got mighty sick of seeing these retarded sigs (especially at work). So I turned off signature images in the forum options. And yet, SOME dumbshit is actually MANUALLY pasting his stupid porn girl in every one of his posts to ensure they get through even that.

edit: and one of those dumbshits is insanemotherfucker, put your porn in your sig please, not in the body of your messages.
