A complaint here - Installed the patch, and BF2 CTD's on startup.  Sigh.  Of course, I'd changed the name of BF2.exe and forgot to change it back, so it's probably my fault.  Now I'm reinstalling the whole thing...
Why would you change the bf2.exe name??? does your hack require you to do this or something??

back on topic though, looking at the list of fixes I am confident that this patch will turn out good, im just glad that they have taken their time to release it, I would rather wait along time than for it to be released early and not work.

So to that effect, good job EA\DICE

Let's see:

- On SF, i have to load a map. Get a freeze when clicking join game, i get the message "Connection lost" when i'm dumped back to the server browser. Have to click on join server again to get into the map, then i still get the huge lag i usually get in SF. None of this happened in the BETA.

- Hit detection even worse, i hit a sniper about 15 times with the AK. One registers as a hit, he then just runs through and knifes me from about 10 meters away. Another example, me and a team-mate in an FAV chasing an FAV. Only once did i get the hit confirmation blip thing, emptying the entire thing on the moving FAV until overheating. He did the same for me, could see him shooting. Looked and our health wasn't going down. Really fucked.

- Performance just a little improvement, compaired to the massive one i got in 1.4b, what happened? I was hoping to play 64 man servers like i could in the 1.4 beta.


IO mode, because of this. Who gives a shit about stats anymore? Any idiot can get a 2+ Assault rifle KDR w/G36E on IO servers. So i can safely say i don't give a shit about stats, at all, anymore. They are even more worse and they are ruining this game. Mods are still going to be unplayable becuase of the non-existant performance tweaks. This is just too fucked up

I wouldnt, it sent my computer into a complete spaz.

I'm selling my game on ebay to try and recoup the £30 I spent on it.

Although anyone with any common sense wont waste their money.

Well, I used EA Downloader to get 1.4.

Now, everytime I try to install it, I get "There is an error with the downloader service.  Please try again later."

I love how EA states in the 1.4 patch info that they "attempted" to fix certain bugs. That says enough for me right there. Their lame ass coders need to stop simply attempting to fix the all the shit wrong with this game and actually fix it. I was excited to hear that it was going to take longer to release this patch, but imagine that... the increased time they used to try and fix the games problems didn't result in anything more than more problems. What's funny is that every BF2 gamer that knows even a little bit about EA and their affiliates knows exactly what to expect, but put up with it anyways. EA has NEVER been a company that has actively supported their gaming community (the people that keep them in business) and they never will be. They are greedy and focused on only one thing... your money. What's even funnier is that they know what to expect from their community. Why would a seemingly smart company waste time/effort on fixing a game that has already hit and passed its bulk in sales, when they can release a newer BF2 game a year or two later and force everyone to buy that one? They announce the ranks/stats will be dropped soon which will piss a lot of people off, and considering that stats don't really mean that much, they are the fundamental base that fuels the game whether we like it or not. So that alone is going to force people into buying the new BF2... just so they can rebuild their stats. With every patch there has been more problems, so why not climax with a final patch which will piss off the community even more and force them to lay their faith at the feet of this new BF2 game in desperate hope that it will be better? The only thing the new BF2 game is going to bring is emptier wallets, more bugs, more problems, and it's EXACTLY the same game... just different vehicles, weapons, and skin mods. They could have ultimately released it as a $20 booster pack game mod upgrade. But where's the money in that??

Still got no IP when joining a server.

Still clearing off all my favourites when clicking refresh.

Stopped updating the server info after click the server name. Only updated the info the first time, after that, no good.

Installed 1.4 full.

Infantry only mode is like... stupid. And gay. But mostly stupid. Here's how you win in Infantry only. Play a city map. Be a medic. Revive, grenade spam, spray and pray. Points. GG. Anti-tank and engineer are absolutely useless on certain maps when it's infantry only. The only reason you would want to use those 2 are for the shotgun. Seriously, they should've just made IO an unranked server option only. It's basically a mode that screams "START A 24/7 KARKAND SERVER AND LET EVERYONE PAD THEIR STATS LOL."

From a very good poster:

I really don't understand this.

Why do you care if people "point whore"?

This should have absolutely no affect on your game. If you don't like 24/7 Karkand, don't play it. If you do, play it!

Here's the naked, ugly, smelly truth ...

The people that complain most about "point whoring" are the true point whores. You guys make a bigger deal about points than the people that get the points (which are not "point whores" 99% of the time).

The majority of players that play on 24/7 Karkand do so because they love the gameplay and the action. I'm one of those people. I play on that map almost exclusively and it has nothing to do with points. All of my friends play 24/7 karkand exclusively as well and they don't care about points either. All I care about is K ratio and the amount of times I kill my buds. :evil:

Why in all hell should people play the game that you want to play? People have the right to play the game they want and enjoy themselves.

The only time when point whoring goes too far is when they exploit the game engine (Hotel glitch = example). Even stat padding in a locked server shouldn't affect you... that's up to DICE to deal with and the guys at BFROE.com ..

Instead of wasting time writing elaborate posts flaming DICE, BF2, the community and everyone short of the Pope -- why don't take the time to join 21CW, BF2Combat or any of the fine tournaments out there.

Join a clan, league, club, or whatever.

The only way that you're going to get the gameplay that you want is by creating or joining a group of players with similar interests as yourself. If you don't want to go that extra mile, don't expect the rest of the community and the game developers to conform to your preference.

Remember, this is a mainstream game (much like mainstream music). It is focused on pleasing as many people as possible and it does just that, otherwise it wouldn't be such a success.

Before you go accusing people of hacking you should check your facts.  Changing the file name is believed to improve game performance.

I'm not complaining about point whoring. I'm complaining because Infantry only is just dumb. Most of the people that I've played with in infantry only were medics, and support. Medics run around reviving people and throwing med packs everywhere, while support proceeds to spam ammo bags and throw grenades everywhere. That's not fun. That's retarded. Not only is nade spamming in this mode the most efficient way of killing people, you get mass points as well. So point whores are going to especially enjoy this mode. Which also means that every infantry only server is going to contain these people thus making the game mode not fun at all.
