After going on 3 consecutive servers today where it took me at least 15 hits to kill someone, I got so pissed off that I uninstalled BF2 and called it quits. But when I checked the folder to make sure it had all fucked off, I found my old backup copy of 1.12. So, I started it up, and realised how much fun this game once was. Everything was smooth, fun, and problem-free. I suggest you at least try it once again, just to see how much better it is.

I should never have had doubts about buying BF2. All that time I missed before DICE brought an end to their own game.

So, do you think that BF2 has actually gotten better throughout the patches? or even remains any fun at all?

I don't.

The only bad thing was BH guns; the othewr helis should have been made better; and not being able to switch squads when dead.

I don't.
AGREE.  Explaination below.

Like you said, the game ran very smoothly and there weren't any glitches or bugs in 1.12.  The problems came along with the introducing of delays (standing from prone, etc.), the vehicle drop feature (which, by the way, nobody asked for) and the removal of squad hopping (also something nobody asked for).  I never really cared much for dolphin diving, because it really wasn't that hard to kill a dolphin diver.  Maybe the reason so many people like it now is because the game was more infantry-based in 1.12, and now it's more vehicle- and armor-based.  And we all know that vehicles/armor/aircraft = easy kills, which mean easy points, right?  I'm glad there are players that do like the game now, but I am not one of them.

I joined back in the 1.22 days and loved it. Progressed to 1.3 as there was less servers and got so many connection problems.. went back to 1.22, then 1.3 again, then 1.4 shortly after, and now 1.41!

The thing that has annoyed me the most is how the infantry has turned out, your sig was a perfect example of how the game has panned out Sarge, the key aspects of infantry have been changed a lot more than any other in the game, I get bad hitreg once in a while, usually I blame it on aiming but sometimes when your unloading 20 bullets in someone and they don't die you realize something is up.

Attack Helicopters have probably changed the least, the only change I can remember is the TV missile range, when your having a 1v1 fight with another chopper it seems that whoever wins is the one who can stay out of range, Helli's are fine for me IMO at the moment despite that.

Black Hawks, everyone who played 1.12 remembers the good ol' Black hawk A well organized team of 4-6 people could near enough dominate the map, EA majorlly changed so there like like pea shooters, shoot at infantry for about 3 seconds straight and you might kill it. People were complaining that Black Hawks were too powerful, all it was was teamwork, after all isn't that what BF2 is all about? Anyone who was in a Black Hawk on Mashtuur City would agree.

Well im happy with bf2 since the 1.4...Its someting Odd to say but   :  Good job EA on 1.4!

Ok there is still some little flaws in 1.4 but if you compare it with the 1.3....1.4 > 1.3 anytime!

But ive got to say that 1.0 was nice too....but i hated the famous.  "Does that C4 came from over that building and just blown my tank to bits?"

Do you honestly think BF2 got better through patches?
NO

Some changes were needed, but the patches made the game less fun overall.

PS: Can you give us the IP of an european 1.12 server?

I don't.
I wouldnt trust DICE programming the clock on my vcr.  They're the worst in the market.

Their patches need their own patches.  They cant even get the server IP to show up on the
connecting page.. and in-game as well.  They should ship Teamspeak, A notepad and a package
of ink pens with every copy.

I knew it was all downhill when they issued a patch just for the anti jumping ('bunny hop') cry babies.
When they go out of their way to cave in to some cry babies who cant hit a guy whos jumping, you
know its over.

DICE is and always will be pathetic. I will never purchase another EA product. Ive learned my lesson.
Their stats system ruined the game... ranked servers meant babysitting rules (# before game starts..)
also created stat padders which created ego bastards who thought their rank actually meant something.
Not to mention, nobody ever answered my question from 18 months ago.. WHY DO RANKED SERVERS
COST MORE THAN UNRANKED ?  Never a valid answer to that one.. same bandwidth, same game. Why
more?  Because EA strong armed gsps forcing them to give them free servers ?  Blah give me a break.

EA and DICE are the worst combination of Producer / Marketer ever made.  Some of the bugs in this
game have been there since day one. Its also the most unstable game engine Ive ever seen in my 25+
years of gaming.

Never another one of my dimes, ever.

1.41 isnt too bad.  but, like simon said, the reign of the blackhawk was glorious.  I was at both ends of that chopper, and never wanted it to change.... vehicle drop has proven to be of little use, except when your hacking, its handy to drop a few hundred cars and lag the server out so bad that everyone leaves!  Removing squad hopping made A LITTLE sense, but was completely unnecissary.  Nerfing the noob tube was lame too.  watching a grenade round BOUNCE around?

1.41 IMO is better than BF2142 permanentally. Not that this thread is meant for that debate, im just saying, it could be worse.  War rock worse....

I think BF2 has been shit since 1.3 the only good thing about recent patches was the Inf only mode. they spoiled the noob tube, killed dolphin diving and prone spamming, put a limit on the TV rockets, and reduced no. of heli rockets. and recently when shooting people all you get is dust and no damage,im pretty sure that didnt happen in other patches.

Do you feel better now that you ranted for the whole community?

I would say that you are right on many points..such as EA-DICE sucks to make game....but unless you can make a better game...just don't talk too much...Dont like it? Dont play it! Easy heh? And for the Anti-Bunny hopping system...ADAPT FFS!

I'd love to break your legs and tell you to adapt to that, but unfortunately it's illegal and probably a bit too harsh.

Bad players cry about changes? what bought those changes on in the first place? people crying. And now that they've got it their way, they defend it.

The game was slowed down for low-skilled players to keep up. All you're doing is defending your new game that has what you want and not what the real skilled players want. If you can't reach the top, don't lower it so you can.

Good deal.  That means less people crying and whining about the up-to-date BF2.  I don't find anything wrong with the current version of BF2 aside from the occasional CTD from picking up a kit on the battleground.  I don't have any trouble killing people with 2-3 hits and 1 hit with a sniper rifle.  I think people either need to just uninstall the game if they are gonna continue to cry like little women because dolphin diving/prone spam is non-existent anymore.  Seems like people need to stock up on tissues before playing a game because they will cry about this or that.  Seriously, get over it.  Either play the game or not.  No need to continue whining about it.

sigh....I can remember all the times me and the old group would hit sharqi up...we were total noobs and would get owned by the bunny hopping noob tubes which at the time, we took for granted....Then out came a patch or two. At first i was thought "Yay.....I won't get owned anymore" but....It wasn't as fun. Something was 'missing'

I would walk down the alleys of karkand head held high because i knew i wasn't going to get smashed by that bunny hopping C4 guy. I walked fearlessly down the beaches of Wake knowing that the F35 was fucked the second it took off.... And the usual mob turned away from the game. All the times i remember charging a flag with 3 of the bestest pwnerer buddies equipped with my sniper rifle and my super dolphin abilities with my bunny hopping medic and ''noob-tuber'' by my side....

Seriously, who remembers taking out that group of 10 people at hotel with there C4 before dolphin diving there way around with a knife attempting to reach that preposterous milestone of ''18 knife kills in a round...." 

Of course they have all been replaced. I now walk down the alleys of karkand looking for cover from the next nade-spamming-tard to chuck his load my direction. Or making sure a noob in my squad rushes out first to clear the claymores....Instead of destroying flags by bunny hopping/prone spamming your way about the obstacles with your AK 101 blazing, you now spam a whole clip at someone for them to not take a hit. The old lag free days are replaced with stupid load times and in-game filled with jerkiness.


No matter how much shit Dice take away from this game people are still whining "WAAhhh stop bunny hopping away from my grenades noob" "OMFG stop crouch spamming behind that box!" ect ect....

What WAS a fun gaming time i looked forward too from getting home in the afternoon, is now a "Hmm, i'm so bored i might play *shudder* BF2"


Sigh...I can't beleive i spent 1000 hours on this game for it to turn to shit instead of staying in my mind as "The Game" The one that no other can replace.


edit: Lately i've been playing CS:S and i even downloaded a skin for the AK-47 to look like an AK 101 and the AUg looks like an F-2000.... Trying to replace my memories of goold ol' un-nerfed FUN game-play....
