Below is a post by DICE employee Colin Clarke, aka [DICE]CKMC as many of us have come to know him, about an announcement coming on Friday regarding the Battlefield 2 1.4 patch. Here's what he had to say:
I suppose I should be flattered to have some one spoof a comment by me. Though I am a little sad they did such a poor job of emulating my communication style. Worth a good laugh while working late so Cheers for that! Though seriously.....a patch release on a saturday? There will be an announcement about the 1.4 release this Friday.
Source: EAUK Forums (http://forum.eagames.co.uk/viewtopic.php?p=298145#298145)
When asked if the announcement on Friday would just be saying that the patch would be released soon, Colin replied "I think you will be pleasantly suprised." Sounds very exciting, stay tuned!

I bet 100€ that whenever this patch will gonna be out, the server crashes prob introduced by 1.3 patch, will still be one of our worst nightmares!!!
So I am not really that surprised about this new patch release, unless of course I'll lose my 100€! :)

Beta 3 I bet.
Best case scenario, is that the 1.4 patch is released next Tuesday. I hope so, purely because the server crashes are ridiculous.

To me it sounds like you could be seeing it this friday, think about it DICE have already got the base to build on from BETA 2 so all they would have to do in theroy is to change any bugs found in BETA 2 and add anything else in last min and then realease it.

Maybe it's a release date on the patch, and a 2142 demo. Well I dunno maybe even a patch release AND the 2142 demo, well that's probably too much but it would be a pleasant surprise. :D

I think its too early to release a 1.4 full because in 1.4 beta 1 and 2 there is nothing really fixed... only a new gameplay mode (which I would rather trade in for some decent fixes) was introduced and the red-tag bug which I for instance had once since BF2's release. The fix-list is too rediculously short and if its a BETA 3 which will be announced the wait was rediculously long (compared to the time between beta 1 and 2)... I (and maybe some other community members) would also prefer to test any anti-dolphin measures before it should hit the streets (this issue was meant to be introduced and never came yet).

The infantry mode may be too much cuz i hate running always! for example-i run one end to another in kubra dam 64 and some1 kills me in the "another" end and i need to run that again now thats a booring game! Fix the bugs what u created with the 1.3 patch in 1.4 and everybody is happy! i have counted over 10 patches for BF2 i hope that its not with the BattlefielD-2142-.!.

08-10-2006, 01:40 PM
Look as long as two problems are fixed in 1.4 it will be good
1. No more random game shutting off when you hit join game... i know u can just hit esc or wait.
2.GET RID OF THE DAM HOTEL GLITCH. every day a noob gets in the hotel with a RPK or somethin and ruins the game.
As long as through two are done i will be happy... i dont read the beta stuff cause half of it dont work out i only read whats working on full patches.

Changes for 1.4:
removed the hotel glitch
added "road to jallajallabad" map
added inf only mode

last min changes:
added new glitches all over karkand, go find them!
added server crash bug every 5 min.

assault weaker.
anti-tank now have 50 missiles.
added some more lagg to all players.
WOW! now thats what i call buggy!:p

08-10-2006, 02:36 PM
If the server crash bug isn't fixed don't bother releasing the patch. All the maps and game modes in the world will mean sweet *f* all if that isn't sorted out.
how a problem of that magnitude (that was actually brought about through a patch!) was allowed to remain un"hotfixed" for so long is beyond me...

08-10-2006, 02:41 PM
Well any news is good news. And I am sure that the new patch will be good. About time we had some good news on what is happening :)
Some of you are strange when you complain so much before the new patch has come out. I think that EA and Dice have got it in hand and have worked on fixing the bugs and other things. Jim Bob have you played the beta if so then you will have notice no crash to desk top at all and a much more tighter game running smooth. Some other comments are lame but that what you get when people assume what the new patch will be like. Just be pleased that they have done something about it in a short period of time like I am so I can gain my lost points when the servers locked up to be fired back. Be glad that they have done something about the issues and not be so stupid saying that the patch will be rubbish before it has even been released. They will not make the same balls up.

Personally I think regardless when this patch is released, next month next week, this friday, whatever... its going to be just like the other patches they've already let out. It'll fix something that was broken, nerf something that was great, and break something else. I have to say either way the patch is needed to fix the crashes, and hopefully that exploit on Karkand.

I have high hopes for this patch, they have made 2 public beta testing phases. No other patch had that, however this also saddens me.
Could this really be the last patch in BF2? They seemed to have put a lot of work into this patch and they added quite a lot.
Ladies and Gentlemen, I do belive that this might very well be the last BF2 patch we will get.
I bet 100€ that whenever this patch will gonna be out, the server crashes prob introduced by 1.3 patch, will still be one of our worst nightmares!!!
So I am not really that surprised about this new patch release, unless of course I'll lose my 100€! :)
The CTD are "no more"
Many have tested the beta vesion without many problems like this patch

08-10-2006, 06:41 PM
If 1.4 fixes CTD + random connection lost / game freezes. .....
miscellaneous other errors will be bit more tolerable.
How 1.3 got released + then no hotfix is disappointing to say least.

You people complain that when they release the patch its not done and still have bugs. But yet when they acutally take the time to try to make it right. You still are pissed at them. You people will never be happy.
As for me 1.3 runs fine but its cool to hear about the new patch coming soon. And if it dosnt. Ill just keep playing bf2 till it does.

Brick Hit House
08-10-2006, 08:28 PM
How about this:
They may release a separate server-side patch in the next few days to fix the frequent crashing
This will allow them more time to finely tune 1.4 to Ea's high standards.....
Gunwing
08-10-2006, 08:54 PM
You people are never happy. I mean if they get a quick fix out you'll whine that the full patch is not out yet and if they take their time you whine that its' not out yet, and yet agian if they release it you whine about it being rushed!? MAKE UP YOUR FRIGGEN MIND!
You wan't the patch out or not? Sheesh!
ANyway I hope they do somthing totaly unexpected like say announce a free addon that will be avalable on the EA downloader or somthing for the game as there is still much of the real world militaries that they are missing from the game.
Even better it would be cool if they announced that the new map is going to have new vehicles on it or somthing like what they did for SW back for BF1942.
Even a patch release would be nice at this point!:rolleyes:
RocketChef
08-10-2006, 09:19 PM
You wan't the patch out or not? Sheesh!
Yes we want it out but we don't want another 1.3. The beta opportunity was great but we want to test any changes to 1.4 in a beta first (as a beta is intended in the first place). So if there are some bigger changes to 1.4 and this announcement tells us something about a 1.4 full beeing released then there went something wrong and the betas were just a big marketing joke.
This is not whining this is collecting the facts.

Wow...how many of the whiners in this thread actually played the beta and reported issues with it? If you haven't and you've come here instead to cry about what EA should have fixed, do us all a favor and stfu. You were given a chance to beta the patch and you didn't. Instead, you probably spent most of your time playing 1.3 all the while pissing and moaning about how bad it is. Thus far 1.4 has been very stable. The new map is fun. Unlike most people, I haven't had many servers crash while I've been in them and I haven't had issues with 1.3 for the most part. So, I don't care if or when they release 1.4. Either way, I'll be playing BF2...

Right; so EA/Dice release a god awful buggy version 1.3 that crashes both BF2 servers and BF2 games respectively very regulary and even then fails to fix some quite key issues (Karkand Hotel glitch, red bug, etc).
It then takes them a month and a half (if my timing is off let me know) to release a 1.4 beta patch that we, the people who paid for this game, have to test for them because either;
(1) their beta testers are too incompetent,
(2) they wanted to mascarade that their spending time on this patch by "listening to the community" when instead they're working on BF2142 as much as possible and,
(3) if the final 1.4 release is just as crap as the 1.3 was they can shunt the blame onto the BF2 community rather than themselves for not helping beta test enough. Effectively making the BF2 community the scapegoats for any future patch problems.
Given this information are we expected to be excited about a new announcement being made when, even if it is a full 1.4 release coming within the next week there's a high percentage chance it'll be absolutely and completely balls? I say no. You are entitled to have a (wrong) opinion and say yes.

could not lay down
could not stand back up if you was lucky enough to lay down
LAG was terrible
could not kill any one due to the lag
And there was alot more as well.
Now i thought it was me but when i mentioned it everybody else was having the same probs.
So if a patch is coming out today or even middle of next week then i dont hold much hope of it being any good:cry:

For those who still haven't realised it, the "odd" gameplay has been noted on most of the 1.4 Beta servers from time to time at the minute. Usually this leads to hilarious fun as new people join, accuse the people they can't kill of being cheaters, think the server/they have been hacked, and so on.
(For those who didn't figure it out at the time, any mounted or vehicle weapon works fine, and randomly ordinary weapons will work too.)

Hope they don't pull an Epic on us.
Promise to make a *BIG* announcement... Make everyone speculate on stuff that I didn't know was even possible. Get everyone giddy, and tearing their hair out waiting for the announcement. :p And then put out a release date 3 months later... and shoot most of the people who wanted a demo down, by reassuring us that there will be NO pre-release demo.
It was very nice of them.
But if you don't know what I mean, I hope that they don't say that it will be something big, or will make us all happy... And then release something stupid, that isn't really all that big.
Not that they haven't done it to us before in the past ;)
I was happy with BF2 unpatched :p That's when I played the most, after the patches started nerfing everything, I noticed my self wasting time in some other game.
I doubt anything they announce will make me extremely happy...

I posted this in another thread, but if you read the last post on the EA UK forums, where it was reported that an announcement would be made today, the LAST post on the thread from a moderator suggests that it may all be a hoax.
This (http://forum.eagames.co.uk/viewtopic.php?t=27550&postdays=0&postorder=asc&start=60)is the last post by the moderator.

Read the OP of this thread. Colin made a post in that thread too on the 2nd page.
I suppose I should be flattered to have some one spoof a comment by me.
Though I am a little sad they did such a poor job of emulating my communication style.
Worth a good laugh while working late so Cheers for that! Though seriously.....a patch release on a saturday?
There will be an announcement about the 1.4 release this Friday.

I have high hopes for this patch, they have made 2 public beta testing phases. No other patch had that, however this also saddens me.
Could this really be the last patch in BF2? They seemed to have put a lot of work into this patch and they added quite a lot.
Ladies and Gentlemen, I do belive that this might very well be the last BF2 patch we will get.
Sad, but probably true. I would think any serious bug might be addressed with a hotfix, but in terms of gameplay changes I think we've seen the last of them. BF2142 will probably become their primary focus. Which is a shame really, because BF2 has it's own unique flavor, just like BF1942 did, and it should remain an ongoing effort of EA/DICE to improve and expand it. I do think they are going to find QuakeWars to be very stiff competition for BF2142. I'm sure plenty of folks(like myself) will purchase both, but eventually they'll end up playing one or the other. Gamers only have so much time. :)
On a side note, QuakeWars is looking much more like smaller(16/24 player) teams pitted against one another, which means BF2142 could stand-out amongst the gamers who prefer larger 32 and 64 player battles.
It's an exciting time for gamers, with so many next-gen games and hardware on the horizon. Get your wallets ready. ;)

Thank goodness. The server I play on crashes so often it's ridiculous, and the clan I play with cancelled their server subscription because of this too.
Thank goodness!! Lets hope no new problems arise, and it all works out, I don't care if it's the last patch as long as it fixes some issues without creating more.

Wow...how many of the whiners in this thread actually played the beta and reported issues with it? If you haven't and you've come here instead to cry about what EA should have fixed, do us all a favor and stfu. You were given a chance to beta the patch and you didn't. Instead, you probably spent most of your time playing 1.3 all the while pissing and moaning about how bad it is. Thus far 1.4 has been very stable. The new map is fun. Unlike most people, I haven't had many servers crash while I've been in them and I haven't had issues with 1.3 for the most part. So, I don't care if or when they release 1.4. Either way, I'll be playing BF2...
You must not have actually tested 1.4 b/c you have no idea how fked up it was I posted a video of it but the codec was wrong, anyway i found a diff one

You can tell this is real b/c you can see the beta 2 watermark on the screen.
you could not go prone
kill anyone on the opposing team(unless in a vehicle)
jump
explosives disappeared as well as supply and medic bags when they touched the ground
and probably a few other thing i have forgotten
EA WTF HAPPENED:confused:
