You said your piece, had a go with a few people and I think we can call it quits now. As fun as it is to bitch and moan, I have that section their only because if I didn't these posts would litter the rest of the forums. Sometimes you just need to scream, and I understand that.
I thought it was rather civilized, compared to just about any other thread in this section, some of which have been going on for page after page. This thread was closed after only 19 replies or so. If you feel the thread needs to close before it hits page two then that's your right as a moderator. But I don't see anything in that thread that warrants the quick lock it got.
Neither I, nor (AFAIK) any of the members here, can actually *do* anything about this except agree/disagree -- which in this particular situation don't really do anything but add post count.
Again, like just about all other threads in this section.
Was their something *more* that you were perticularily burning to express that your 10 paragraphs already didn't?
My post was too elaborate? Sorry, next time I will cut down on the word count. And yes, I was hoping I could actually get some of my questions answered, like why the official EA Europe ranked servers only play "Strike at Karkand" since the patch. I was hoping people could explain why I had to download a 280Mb patch that didn't solve any of the current issues and only introduced a few more. And I was hoping to read about other people's feelings about this patch. Maybe I'm doing something wrong, maybe I simply don't understand what's going on, maybe I should simply quit my "bitching and moaning" and play another game. But I really liked BF2 before the patch. Hence a thread about it.
If you wanted to go beyond just complaining, let me address your core issue:
And these people have an (unfair) advantage over people who didn't buy SF
I can't actually confirm it, but so far I have found the "extra" unlock to actually be rather balanced. The flash grenades being the only major exception. The zip/grappel don't carry over. I have to do more research into this, but I imagine the stats for the "SF Unlocks" will not be much different than any of the regular unlocks.
Well good, that's
your opinion. My opinion is a bit different. And apparantly, so is a lot of other's.
Again, this is not a flame. I will respect your final decision as a moderator. So if you tell me your final decision is to keep it closed, I will keep my mouth shut from now on (I promise
). Hell, I own and run a (non-game) forum myself with 12,000 members and about 3000-5000 new posts each day. I know you sometimes have to close threads to keep things in order. But again, I really don't think anything in that thread warrants it to be closed so quickly.
And my apologies for again an elaborate post. I can't express myself in any other way than to make sure I get my point across (I also hit the Preview button about 30 times and check for spelling and grammar - I'm funny in that aspect).
