Please will all players and Server Admins please read this topic and take part in this to convince EA and DICE to hopfuly listen to us.
http://www.bf2-bday.org/index2.html
The |-TC-| Clan will take part in this by passwording both of our servers as requested in that topic.
This is to show EA and DICE how much there player base will drop with this which should have a bigger impact on them than us all posting "you screwed up our game".
Im personly not in favor of the "squad hopping" bit but the rest i am.
Thanks for reading

Wow, I didn't know it was that bad. I have certain issues with my video card that won't allow me to play any of my games. So I don't know first hand. Anyhow I hope no one buys Armored Fury as well.

I really don't think they will even care the offical one's will just be flooded. Anyway they're not losing money by us not playing.

This is a good idea and all but I believe that it wont have any effect. Why? Because EA doesnt care about their gamers anymore like they did in the past. They have already released the game and pocketed our money, so not playing the game for one day wont do anything to them except give them more bad rep which they already have anyway. Now if this was a MMO then it would effect them as long as the boycot lasted because they wouldnt be taking in any money for the game. Many people are overlooking the fact that no matter what they do EA will never be the same again. Once they hit that big mark in game developing they lost their customer support status. They just dont care anymore.. why do you think each patch they release only screws up the game more?
Its a good idea, but im sorry to say that it wont ammount to more than a hill of beans in the eyes of EA.

Oh yeah it's always worth trying just won't really have any effect on them in fact they are probaly looking forward to it. Less wear and tear on their ranking servers.

We need to bring it a little further. What about the upcoming releases of Armored Fury and Battlefield 2142? Why not tell EA we're not buying these games eh? Could do a little more damage.

Why on earth do people accept such **** products is beyond me, you wouldnt accept that if it was a car or a house and you defenetly wouldnt buy from the same company again so why with software?

exactly. The problem with EA's software engineers is the one's who aren't monkeys are forced to pump bad code out the door to met deadlines.

Just support it if you agree to the terms of the petition because it's worth a try. Sure, EA doesn't really pay attention to the community like Valve, and right now they might not give a damn. But the more BF2 players join in, the more attention we'll get from EA and hopefully this word gets out to major PC Gaming Magazines. Let's see how much they care about PR. (public relations)

Yea, I'd recommend telling any community you know of, have an account on etc. I've been hearing alot of players having CTD issues. We should get some polls on player's opinions and such.

Great idea. I'll spread the word in other BF2 community sites.

Telling them will do nothink, makeing it happen is a hard task.
Idiot's who could play PR but would rarther play a stupid, inaccurate, poorly made piece of shit like AF are the exsact people who need to be used as 'labrats' instead of wasteing there time liveing freely.
