BF2S Forums Top 3 things to fix in next patch?

I'd also like to see a way to enter a queue to join a full server, making you automatically join the server once a slot opens up, instead of having to keep trying to join repeatedly. Would make joining a server that a friend is on a lot easier.

I like it!

The only serious thing i can think of is actually making the smoke nades useful, like the above poster stated. Maybe if they were implemented as well as in other games, COD for example, they would be more often used. Other than that, nothing really, i like the games balance as it is now, and for the love of god, don't mention the word "nerf"

1. Fix the no-titan-spawn bug.

2. Fix the lack of AA lock on transports.

3. Fix the SLSB CTD.

4. Fix the server crash.

7: add jets. there are plenty reasons why, but the primary one being that 1/2 the battlefield community refuses to play 2142 because of the lack of aircraft. Jets are fun and have been around for 3 battlefields and all the expansions and whatnot. no reason to take them out.

NO WAY!  If the only reason they will not play 2142 is the lack of jets, then our game experience is enhanced by their absense.  Quite a bit of my enjoyment of this game is the utter lack of jets when compared to BF2.

The only thing I want fixed are the hit boxes on the Talon. When the Talon is not static 80% of the doragons rockets pass through it.

I play on a 100MB fibre connection after work sometimes and still get lag. Your connection means Jack-Shit

Oh, and the most annoying fucking thing in the game.....

*drum roll*

The fact that you cant Alt/Tab out and then back into the game without getting the black screen of nothing.

1. Make your gear choices in the player customization screen stay whether you're online or not, or between servers.  This should have been done back in BF2. Make it settings in a client-side file for God's sake, just like the controls are. It's not that hard and I can't see why this is any different in execution between how controls are mapped. If you're worried about restricting unlocks to a DB query on client game-loading to see what unlocks that person has, or make it a server-side cached variable.

2. FIX titan lag! This is a substantial problem with a key game feature and it's unacceptable that it's lasted this long.

3. Improve the continuing stability issues (CTDs, master server disconnects, game server crashes)

to ALL the people who are saying titan lag is non existant and it's the user's pc, you obviously don't play full 48 player titan servers enough to enjoy it, and you have no clue about the game engine BF2142 is built on.

giant flying object which can be controled
+ main spawn location for players&aircraft
+ (when shields go down) all the defenders/attackers with their drones/shields/all things you can place
+ constant landing of pods on titan
= frames per second drop for most

now all that times 2 = lag


anyway, top 3 things i'd have fixed...

1) titan lag

2) death glitches, when you're stuck in the ground and you can look around a bit and you have to wait you
can't be revived at all to respawn (happens with explosions/almost every death on a titan)

3) fix the glitch when you're grabing your unlocks the menu swiches to support class

There is still much to be done. Sorry, three? That's a little difficult.

[*]Transports that cannot be locked onto by Anti-Air.
[*]Spawn Beacon Crash to Desktop.
[*]Smoke grenades pitiful amount of smoke.
[*]Alt + Tab usually doesn't work.
[*]Server crashes. Though it only ever crashes when I have knifed someone I wanted.
[*]The walker gimp movement.
[*]Motion mines and active defense.
[*]The Accipter.
[*]Spawn beacon to roof maneuver.
[*]Drone Surfing.
[*]Spawning in front of a firing squad member.
[*]The drop down a small incline stops firing.
[*]The repair / resupply / heal icons. They should radiate around the circle, not go sideways then kind of go backward.
[*]And on that note, the status when you are in a vehicle of repair / resupply / heal should work.
[*]Rifle rocket kills are not counted properly (go on, check your kills with them).
[*]Lag. The "fix" by stopping the titans moving when their shields are down is a band-aid job.
[*]The way sometimes you cannot spawn on the titan.
[*]The way sometimes you pod off the titan and land inside one of the corridors.
[*]The way it sometimes doesn't say "you were killed by x" and just lets you look around.
[*]The way it refuses to give you an award, even though you have all the requirements.
[*]The way the PAC walker takes twice as long to respawn (Gibraltar).
[*]The way sometimes when you connect to a server you are automatically spawned, and die straight away.
[*]Or you don't die straight away and are left with a useless kit.
[*]The way the class selection screen automatically closes after you have opened it when you have been killed.
[*]I still don't have some of my buddies on my buddy list becuase whether I accept or they accept, it still does nothing.
[*]The way people glow on the titans on Verdun.
[*]When you are customising your class, it automatically switches to the support class.
[*]The way when you rejoin a server you were on earlier, your field upgrades are still equipped, yet when you spawn they are non-existent.
[*]The way the Pilum has horrible deviation, even when prone.
[*]How you can't reach the titans by APC if they are in the middle of the playing field on Minsk.
[*]How the Walker's rockets veer off just at the last second.
[*]The way you can't jump a personal shield in a titan corridor because of the lag.
[*]The way EA expects us to buy some shitty booster pack giving three new maps, two new vehicles and nothing else that everyone else is getting. BF2 vanilla had 3 sides, and the boosters added way more content. "Northern Strike" offers us reskins, and all the terrain features are recycled.
[*]The way EA is refusing external use of the stats feed.

But if I had to say three, I'd say:

3. Knife hit detection.
2. Knife hit detection.
1. Knife hit detection.

Really, its not fair when you go over to someone prone, facing the other way, and you slash them, not once, not twice, but four times and it does nothing, yet they, hearing the slashing, pull there knife, turn to you and get you one hit. It happened to me. And its complete BS.

i agree with you there. The fix for titan lag by stopping movement after the shield go down is a rediculous way to bandaid a problem.

yea, the knife hit detection thing is a pain.  That happened to me too.

Do you by any chance have the intros turned off? If so just turn ONE of them back on and you'll be able to alt tab without a problem.
