As much as I'd like to fly around in a Littlebird, I'm not buying Armoured Fury. The whole concept of buying yet another TK fest (and you know every n00b and their dog will TK to use an A-10 and the rest), is retarded.INCSOC wrote:

shows you where their priorities are
edit:
Scout Heli - Littlebird
Scout Heli - EC-635
Scout Heli - WZ-11
btw how the hell does the WZ-11 fall into the same category as the other scouts... I mean it's pretty much identical to WZ-10 from the looks of it.

I jumped in to the F35b thinking it was fixed to me it was even slower ??? alot of people are really pissed with this LACK of patch. The all time high for BF2 was 55,000 people playing at once wonder what it is doing now..... i only played for about 2hrs today got sick of the claymores EVERYWHERE....vodnicks been dropped on me while taking off in a chopper/plane/whatever...so in short this game is gone to shit.EA and Dice = Joke wrote:
why hasn't the F35 been fixed? The thing's a fucking joke. The J10 can't be hit by anything except a missile spammer on the ESSEX or another J10, while the F35 dies to stray missiles. BF2 is unbalanced, yet EA/Dice decide to add more "features" and nerf things that made the game playable (like Blackhawk whoring), but did not contribute to the unbalance.
That's the sad thing.....Chorcai wrote:

''A new commander tool has been added as well, and that is the ability to drop light jeeps anywhere on the battlefield. This comes in really handy when you're stuck in a field somewhere without a ride. As commander though, I have the most fun dropping jeeps on enemy snipers! For all you snipers out there, always remember: fire and maneuver!''
It doesn't appear that you are done, or that you have given up, but we feel your pain. Way to quit at being a quitter.LSD_Wash wrote:

I am also a converted player. I loved BF2 in the beginning, but after this patch it is useless because I can't join any server. That means zero playing time! If they fix these issues I will probably continue to play, but until then, not only am I not willing to play, I can't play!LSD_Wash wrote:
I have defended EA / Dice beyond what is called for. I am a software developer with over 12 years experience and I was impressed as hell with BF2 when it came out. I've heard basher after basher complaining about BF2 and what "POS" it was and how EA / Dice sucks and I've been at their defense in almost every case. But I just got done with a couple hours of trying to run 1.3 and I'm just disgusted! First time around I joined a server, waited forever to get the 'shaders' compiled and when I clicked 'join' I was dumped to desktop. A little annoyed but willing to give them another shot. I restarted and tried again, got in and started searching for another server... .WTF??????? I refresh, then sort by ping (isn't that the obvious thing to do?) and then click on a server... I click and the name changes and the entire list resorts... patiently, I click another server... THAT server changes names and the whole list resorts. Okay, I accept it, they completely screwed the server list... I'll just pick a server and join it and ignore the server list... double-click, join... back to desktop... I am DONE!!!!! Screw this game until they get it right.
I was impressed as hell with the graphics engine, the multi player code, the physics, etc. I know what it takes to write great software and I was amazed with what they accomplished with 1.0.... but they have turned over the patch production to their 'bench warmer' programmers and let their 'Starting Lineup' developers work on Madden or BF2142 or whatever... but they have so completely dropped the ball on this one, I can't forgive them. How hard is it to write a list control (the server browser) that doesn't re-sort with every click? Who tests this crap? My god!?!?! I absolutely love this game, and I'm an the furthest thing from a 'basher' but I can't even express how utterly disappointed I am with this amateur crap they have just released to us, their loyal patrons. I don't' know what else to say, as a veteran software developer, I'm disgusted and embarrassed.
Haha! That's the spirit!.E7IX3R wrote:

LOL... yeah, so I did quit for a while. Mainly because of the server browsing issue. There are quite a few annoyances still in the game, but mostly things I can tollerate. The server browser issue made me 'quit' all together, but I did continue reading forums and read that the server browser issue was SERVER side and not CLIENT side so they fixed it on their end without the need for another patch to fix it. So yeah, I haven't quit since the server browsing works (with a few glitches) but I'm still not thrilled. Thanks for calling me out and making me 'splain my appearant hypocrisy, ya bastard!usmarine2005 wrote:
