This is not a persuasive statement, this is just to prepare you for the inevitable.
I will start with arguement "A", consisting of "DICE needs to fix this [insert thing here]"
-Now for the most part, DICE had fixed ALOT of the gameplay things that people have whined about, i.e Grenade Laucher, AA, TV Missiles. People bitched for a year straight, and DICE tried as hard as they could to facilitate those needy people.
-Arguement "B", "I refuse to buy 2142, I am going to play Quake Wars"
-Now, Quake Wars really hasnt stepped into the ring with the Battlefield series before, therefore, when the game is out, ID will be getting SO MUCH SHIT from the people who bitched about BF2, that ID will end up nerfing alot of the nifty features in Quake Wars.
Needless to say, Battlefield 2 spawned a whole community of whining little pricks, that move in packs, with the sole group mentality to get the game so that it has everything they want.
Given time, ID will fall victim to these problems too, but they will probably be more efficient at patching all the things you dont want in.
Its food for thought, so think about it.
People wouldn't whine about BF2 so much if it was designed and programmed properly from the beginning.
The support that supposedly should correct those major mistakes should resemble that of a professional company.
EA's image shows that they desire money at the expense of quality.
Just look at NBA Live 07: http://www.nbalive.org/portal/page/525
This is just some of the small things that has happened over the year of BF2.
Special forces lost 3 medals, a ribbon, 2 unlocks, and 3 maps because it was forced to be released prematurely than expected. The executive producer for BF2SF didn't even know that the Ariel Specialist Service Ribbon wasn't even obtainable to the players...
The two packages (Euro Force and Armored Fury) were originally planned to be given out free. EA charged money for them.
EA lied about their 1.3 patch being released on February 18th. (Euro Force was delayed)
Patch 1.4 was over 2 months late than what they had given for a release date.
Red/Blue Name Tag bug has never been fixed.
Patches add their share of problems than correct them.
The list goes on...
You do make some valid points though, if theres one thing about released that I cant stand, its Features that are left out due to it being rushed
Premature releases really kill a game, and in this case, BF2
It had a good run, but I think its time for that game to die
