BF2S Forums Code7: world's best bf2 team withdraw from bf2

rdx is my example, I want to kidnap him and keep him in my house

woe is me, what are we supposed to do now that these guys have quit? seems to me that the reaction they were looking for was some type of pity party. If you ask me a squad calls themselves elite should grow a pair and man up and adapt to the changes. That is if they are actually any good. Why do people insist on whining about things before they actually even try it. If you wanna bitch about how bad it sucks you should at least wait until you give it a shot. I agree that things may not make much sense but at least try it before you knock it. So whoever this elite clan is I guess they should think about removing the elite title if they can't adapt to change.

i still cant belive they put out a press release, thats goto be the dumbest thing iv ever heard of.

Arent teams [HOT] and 20id both way better than them?

Code7 beat HOT on karkand, maybe HOTs best map so no. And Code7 won the World Turnament, that makes them the worlds best team.

The guys in Code7 are awsome, played with all of the norwegian ones public many times and the team in a infantry 5on5 match, they really know how to play this game, better than everybody else.

the squad changed DESTROY teamwork, and ea is blind to it, if i switch so i can spawn back and HELP me TEAMMATE, isent that a good thing?

i will not mind this change if the spawntime becomes 10 seconds, but if you choose not to spawn a medic has a total of 35 seconds to revive you.... that should make up for the lost squadleader "exploit"

If I had god-mode, never died, isn't that helping my TEAMMATE?  If I never died, I could kill someone, so he would never kill my teammembers.

EA is trying to make this as stable a game, as similar to real-life.  Guys popping out of nowhere because you cannot find/kill that one pesky guy hiding isn't that enjoyable.  Picture for a moment there is no such thing as squads (no mobile spawns).  1 person goes for a back point, someone defends against one person.  6 people go for a back point calls more attention than one, so more defenses can be scrambled.  EA realizes that now that one person can become 6 at the worst possible time, due to people exploiting something they never intended people to exploit, and people call that a nerf.

As for Code7, well, those guys are whiners.  I play BF2 very well, and I don't find the changes in this game enough for me to cry out "THEY'RE NOT LISTENING TO US!!! THEY HATE US AND WANT TO MAKE US MISERABLE!"  EA IS listening to people.  It's a problem with online complaints.  Only people with complaints post them online.  People with nothing to complain about don't go on to say that "this feature is good, it should never be changed" on their own.  So EA has only the complainers to listen to, and when they get it wrong, they get confused as to why people hate the change.

I am not trying to be a prick about all of this, but I am having a really hard time understanding why people feel they know what the outocme is going to be before it is even implemented.

Because they do. And I do. I fought many clan matches and fun wars etc. so I can see clearly what are the results changing the gameplay in this way. On most maps like karkand and others squad hopping is essential.

By the way: Code7 has quit because they feel kinda pissed and I can understand it. You invest much much time, motivation, engagement in techniques (and tactics based on these techniques) and suddenly its all for nothing.

to give an example for our public only comrades: you play 2 months china only to get the peoples medaillon. As you almost get it, requirements are lowered and everybody has it. All china only playing for nothing.

Did you ever care about the ability to jump? No? Ok, so stop writing such bull****.

I'm not advocating it's removal, rather that people should stop spamming their half-baked opinions about it everywhere.

Read my post again dude, you misinterpreted it

plz never ever talk about REALISM in a game, ITS A GAME!!! tickets is hardly realistic now is it? (yes in know it represents lives, however thats not anything like how it works in real life)

Its amazing, Ive had this game for about 3-4months now. Loving it. Made me quit CS:Source. Why? Decent updates and bug fixes with a nice, coherent and also random gameplay. In that time, ive had the red name bug once...and that was in the first week I had the game. Never encountered any other bugs (although I know of the commander one).

With CS:S, people complain left right and centre to valve about the shitty things in the game.
-  Friends network hasnt worked since it was released in Oct 03. They have now, just got around to beta testing it. And now they are fixing it, everyone is complaining "its too late, everyone uses xfire. you are too late valve".
- SourceTV (like battlerecorder) is so bodged up, you cant view weapons in first person mode and you cannot spectate a game by moving around - your view is exactly at the origin of the map (usually in the middle of the ground - and you cannot change this).
- Original player models for each team have only just all finally been released after the game being released over 2 years ago - and 6 of the 8 models are of an absolutly appauling quality, for the high quality game that Source is supposed to be.
- Newer maps take longer to load, so noone plays them. Its only Dust2 since its quick to load and basic gameplay. Nobody will play the redone versions of Militia/Nuke/Inferno or others since they take a long time to load. BF2 maps take longer to load than they do.
- A lot of the updates have caused driver problems where people have had to install new drivers to keep up with the game, or adjust windows background settings to comply with the additional updates.

Along with hundreds of other items, including one where on EVERY update, your favourites list gets wiped and even if you add new favourites, they are gone next time you load up the game. How useful is that?
If we had that in BF2, there would be about 300 topics on this forum along, each with about 5pages of replies bitching about it.


Consider yourselves lucky that there are so few bugs in BF2 and everything actually works (to an extent) and there are actually updates to the game that dont screw up even the most basic of things.
EA is not perfect by a long shot - no computer game company is or ever will be. Get used to it.
If everyone is as mature as they claim to be, you would have realised this by now.

Every game ever made will have complainers about it...everyone will like something about a game and dislike another part. Some people love squad hopping...others done. Grow up and get over it. This patch isnt even released yet and all I read is posts slating how bad its gona be.
Personally, I think the vehicle drops are intended to help get around everyone complaining about squad hopping - to enable more troops to get to the battle quicker (although, we all know it wont work that way).
Whats that saying? "Appearances can be deceptive - you should get to know somebody first".
Same applies here. Grow up, stop bitching and either keep your trap shut til its released or complain AFTER its released.
And no, im not in a clan for BF2 - so this is the viewpoint of myself, being a public player.

Once changed it will NEVER change back, that is why they are pissed and so am i.

so supposedly this "best clan" can't adapt and learn to play with the new improvements?

though i've used squad hopping, in 8v8 matches it turns bf2 into a strategic game rather than one which requires skill

should be good, sucks they can't adapt

i'm new to my clan and my clan's new to matches, we split up into a few squads and play from there, seems more fun that way

I bet you anything you want that in those clan matches you constantly rotate through squad leaders, especially if you are using 2 or more squads in 5v5 and 8v8.

wouldn't it be more realisitc to make one person squad leader and have them stay back while squad members go in for the "fight"? or are these games just about capping flags?

I still think it's lame to squad hop multiple times, especially in clan matches. pick a squad, stay with it. Kill the enemy, cap some flags.

There seem to be a lot of people putting the game away but not all lie the blame at EA's door.  At least this bunch don't mention how TK'ing is getting worse.  There arn't the only ones getting fed up, but probably the best there is.  If you do anything long enough you get fed up and de-motivate yourself.

Is it fair to blame EA cos they seem bored?


Perhaps they aren't putting it to sleep but kind of by looking to play other games.

Agreed!
