Everytime EA is about to launch a new expansion pack.. they issue a patch for BF2
the day or two before.   

This patch was not intended to be a real fix for anything major within BF2..

server browser, still the worst in the industry.. even worse than it was before..
voting system within BF2... useless.. a joke... laughable.   Many users now reporting
crashes to desktop after last patch..  yeah thats what we want to have to do, EA, reinstall
the original game, then intall all these expansion packs, then setup all our keybinds and
joystick assignments, login to your SUPER SLOW account server (which MUST be ran off
of a commodore 64 or something..)  then we have to fiddle through your server browser
filtering through useless, inaccureate data, then finally attempt to load a map hoping we
dont end up at the desktop again..   And even on my 'above average' machine it takes
way too long to load maps, cancel map load attempts.. hell, everything.

This must be the worlds worst code ever written for a game.. I have 50 titles on my
shelf here, all the latest games from the past 2-3 years.. none of which are even
remotely close to being this badly written..

Lets face it, EA releases a patch so that their precious expansion packs will work on
our bf2 installations..  They want more of our money.. Thats why we get a patch a
day or two before every new release of anything..not because they're working hard
to resolve issues...some of which have been around for 10 months..

I wouldnt let anyone from DICE even set the clock on my VCR...they are a disaster.

The game was so close to being the greatest ever... but it will always be known to me
and MOST of my friends and circles as the buggiest code ever to date..

AF expansion pack ? gimme a break.. I fell for your SF pack.. not this time, EA..

Why don't you put the game down for a month thats what I did works fine and when you go play your old games they are nothing compared to BF2 so be happy that you own a great game. Surely its poorly written but that doesn't help if you complain about it on a forum where people are just gonna agree or disagree with you. We all know that EA is going for the money but don't worry about it they are making the booster pack optional to buy you don't have to get them but I choose to because I love the game out of any other game out there I would choose BF2. Sorry if I offended anyone but I just wanted my point to be seen.

Oh, I have.. my BF2 time has decreased by 1/2 the past couple months.. along with all the
bugs, Ive noticed an abnormaly high amount of total noobs playing this game.. No, not 'NEWBS',
err, people who just started playing this game.. but 'NOOBS'... people who know how to play, but
chose to exploit and play like idiots..

Unreal Tournament 2004 isnt quite the game, no, but hell, its been out for 2.5 years..
however, as far as gameplay, and being able to play in a 99% bug free environment, it
makes BF2 and EA/DICE look like a joke.

Had EPIC released BF2, we'd have 1/10th the complaints.. 1/20th the bugs, and REAL
patches/fixes.  Oh, if it were only to be..

I can't even play my BattleField after 1.3 so I am stuck with a wasted $50 and $30 for SF.

Linus I completely agree with you.  EA has turned into a marketing company where programming is done on the weekends in some guys basement while they play poker.  It is a joke how they have messed this game up and it's a sad situation because it did have all the tools  to become a great one.
