IMO 1.5 will never be released. 1.5 devs are making new bugs with every beta, and then they are trying to fix them... so wtf?

I actually forgot all about this patch until I saw this thread again. Don't bother to wait it, you will get eventually pissed

Btw: BF2 1.41 was released in November 2006 and we are still waiting for the second patch

Yes you are right. I'm also waiting for FH2 to become a more complete mod. It seems to be taking for ever , though they do produce really excellent models and statics etc.

With this extra time on their hands, the PR Dev Team has the oppitunity to add some tweaks and pieces to the 0.86 patch. ie More refined animations, improved limited kits code, etc. Aswell as further testing the builds to stomp out any bugs or gameplay faults.

Yeah that is a plus. And PR never fails to please , they really do just keep getting better over time. The other thing I appreciate about the PR dev team is that they actually listen to the players suggestions.

Not many game devs patch a 4 year old game, so I'm just happy they are doing anything.

And its not like bf2 is the only thing they are working on.

Yea, at least they are taking their time over it, unless it is just sitting under other junk like take the garbage out or eat a potato. So as long as this time is being put toward the patch, I am happy.

Well with ussual stuff EA promises I came to the conclusion that Starcraft Ghost will be released before 1.5

All this has happened before, and will happen again.

I do recall reading somewhere that it is only around 3-4 people working on the patch, and its not their main job by any means. People can whine and ***** all they want that EA/DICE sucks. However, its not economically viable to keep trying to support old games with large amounts of members of the team, in the time you are spending to keep a pretty small community happy of an old game, you could be putting the team straight into the next development cycle of a new game.
People can say EA only cares about money etc etc, well they should, its how they are starting to dominate the market and makes them a successful company.

Why do we even need to make it work with the new patch? Does anyone even play vanilla BF2 anymore?

I'm sure a strong minority of pr players still enjoy vanilla BF2, and will be getting the 1.5 patch when it comes. But it also brings a few updates that pr could use (Deviation being reset when proning, for instance). Hopefully they might add bf2142 stabilization, but that's got a slimmer chance than them updating servers to 128 players, especially at this point in the development.

Small community? 6th most played game according to Xfire.

Even if the patch would only fix some exploits like CTD for clients due to hacking, it would be well worth the wait tbh.

The PR community isn't the only group of people who (technically) still play BF2.

Outlawz haS A good point

Infact,i am almost sure that we are minority,in bf2 realm.Definitely sure that PR regularsa are minority.

The saga goes on....and on.....and on

Will the latest incarnation of BF2 and PR have resolved the issue with battle director?

I have an important video project to complete and is being held back at the moment due to battledirector not working and the team gaffa machinima tool being, frankly, shite.

Yeah but I meant here, PR is the only BF2 related subject that matters! XD
I want scoped LMG's already!! :'(

Btw, none of the new armies are ready for this release right? I thought someone said they were coming with this release a while back. LIES.

When 1.5 is released, it will be the 11th patch released for BF2.

yea but how many of those patches were released when dice wasn't a part of EA lol

i feel ever since EA acquired DICE the whole battlefield franchise is going to hell in a handbag

EA (since dice is them now so no point prayin for them) BETTER GET ITS **** TOGETHER BEFORE SOME OTHER PUBLISHER DOES (srry for caps its a frustrating subject)

and i say ea because how many developers have the financial backing like them ... but possibly a small publishing company will gamble with a small developer and who knows, us pc gamers might get a very great new game lol... time will tell

EA Digital Illusions CE - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

In November 2004, Electronic Arts announced their intent to purchase all outstanding shares in Digital Illusions CE at a price of 61 SEK per share. The board of directors of Digital Illusions CE recommended that the company's shareholders accept the offer. Electronic Arts owned 62 percent of Digital Illusions CE on March 31, 2005.

On October 2, 2006 EA completed the acquisition for 67.50 SEK per share for 2.6 million shares, for a total of 175.5 million SEK. Digital Illusions CE was renamed EA Digital Illusions CE, and CEO Patrick Söderlund became an EA Studio General Manager. DICE Canada, which at the time was being run by DICE co-founder Fredrik Liljegren, was closed down immediately upon acquisition.
