Community Update - 2/20/06

Listen up Troops,

Although patch 1.2 included several fixes that we know were eagerly awaited, it unfortunately introduced some new issues. These are being addressed immediately and we are working around the clock to resolve those. Patch 1.21 (coming soon) will be tested in a limited beta with select Battlefield community members starting as early as this week. We’re doing this to ensure a clean release of 1.21. In addition, we have decided to postpone the Euro Force Booster Pack until sometime after the release of the updated 1.21 patch.

Stick to this web space for additional information soon.

On a more pleasant note, Battlefield 2 hit somewhat of a milestone last night with over 52,000 simultaneous players. This is the highest number of players we’ve seen at one time for Battlefield 2 and almost 4 times more than the peak number of Battlefield 1942.

Thanks in advance for your patience.

The team at DICE and EA

This is gonna be a problem now we are gonna have to wait longer for prmm im sure

I dont think this will affect 0.25 much. 1.21 should be a pure bug fix release, ie nothing new added, just exe changes.

Though personally I'm beginning to think they are deliberatly introducing bugs and delaying the patches just so they can delay EF...

This is rediculous. DICE is oficially the worst videogame developer ever.
They "beta tested" 1.2 for 2 weeks, and somehow all this **** slipped by!? And now they have to release another patch to fix their mistakes, that may potentially bring more problems?

When ET: QW is out, I am NEVER playing a Battlefield series game again.

Wow another hotfix for a patch, how embarrassing.

You know I'm starting to think that too. EA proclaims they are holding it back just to beta test for long periods, yet nothing seem to be fixed.

Hell some of the things claimed to fix became *broken* instead! I cant use the browser filters anymore: Wont find anything. I can do a global search and get thousands of servers... Then when I put 20 into the player field, *poof* cant find anything.

Not to mention the fact all pings are STILL displayed 100+ higher than they are when updating by clicking on a server.

The god damn browser has been borked since release and claimed to be fixed in every patch since release

the logical conclusion is that the release of a next PRMM is also delayed.
once more i am pretty sure that the lead officer from DICE QA department is STEVIE WONDER

I honestly want to know who the hell they have testing these patches. I mean come on the basic stuff is easily noticed. The beta test team they have must be brain dead morons.

I think you're right, if it's just for pure bugs it really shouldn't affect prmm.

Seriosly, there is no excuse for a company made up of "professional" programmers to mess up this much and this often. I don't think there has been one patch that has been released without flaws.

Many things could be missed... but such obvious things? HOW?!
I would like meet them too...

Last night i've shot in the guy 3 clips from G36C, 1 from 92FS and 2 nades... nothing...god mode? :/

These guys are using child labor to make these games right? I'm starting to think that sweat shops are doing the programing. WTF??!!?? are these people getting paid or what?

DEDMON5811 · Post by **DEDMON5811** » 2006-02-20 20:00

probably a bunch of guys who dont speak english or anything close to it. and more than likely have no idea what military is actually like.

AznLB · Post by **AznLB** » 2006-02-20 20:02

It still amazes me how they could test 1.2 for 2 WEEKS, and still miss:

AT missles going through targets
AA oil tower bug
AA going crazy when hitting a tree
Chaff and flare bug
Not hearing other players fire
Bug when trying to stand up from prone
Browser bugs
Lower framerates
TOW missle weakness

How can you miss that!? Those are the first things you should have spotted! WHAT WERE YOU DOING THE WHOLE 14 DAYS OF BETA TESTING YOU INCOMPITENT, LAZY, OVERPAID IDIOTS!?

Peter-SAS · Post by **Peter-SAS** » 2006-02-20 20:05

not suprising at all. I echo much of the comments in here. Never gonna play a Battlefield game again. In-fact the only reason I do is because it was the only alternative.

No no no you have it all wrong. We are the testers. they dont enploy any as they cost to much. While we pay them to test it. Then they dont listen to us unless we all kick and scream ALOT. Do u rember v1.0 of BF2? we tested that for them and all there other patches after that

AznLB · Post by **AznLB** » 2006-02-20 20:19

BF2: The only game produced and released while still in the Beta stages.

DICE/EA dosn't have Beta testers, we are the beta testers. And we're paying them for their sub-standard product.

I am so leaving this game...
