How about setting up the rate at which people give commands so they don't flood the screen with 'negative' over and over. Had this kid who always seems to like to do that, go around in servers and do nothing but hit 'negative' over and over and everyone gets really annoyed. If you haven't seen this guy his name is JackBurtonEDF, just sits there and spams commands. Poor kid has no life and just sits there and spams the game.

BF2 Account Tag · You can add a 6-character prefix to your account nickname which will be displayed in-game next to your nametag in the scoresheet, in game messages, and above your player. This prefix does not change your account name or statistic information (e.g. the prefix does not appear next to your name on the leaderboards). You can change this prefix at any time at the account login menu.


thats a bit of a fix but not much of a one...

still means you cant change your name... what about people who have tags in thier names already but want to remove them as they have changed clans ?? like me :(

Theres supposed to be 140 fixes so I think we can wait, after all it’s a fantastic game. Pity the Voice over ip is crap, you cant tell when others have to use external programs.

A few more weeks and hopefully a better game. Performance wise I hope they do us proud as more speed helps and if the servers run better it will be even better.

NTL are giving me 10MB by the end of the year so it all bodes well here in Scotland.


Now if anyone could leak more info, call it a special black ops mission. Obviously testers have a run down of fixes and it would only take two minutes to go into a net café and register “joe blogs” and post. I realize anyone could post rubbish that knows nothing but hey one of the posts might just hit the mark.:D

Unconfirmed changes:
- servers get reserved slots for players
- new balancing of the ranking system, all players will most likely go up 1 rank

-------------------------
CONFIRMED CHANGES by DICE
-------------------------------------

- more then 160 server and client side bugfixes
- Ingame server browser with favorites, history and last visited and enhanced server search algoritm
- Squad leaders receive a message if someone wants to join the locked squad
- Specops get points for blowing up uav, radar and artillery
- support, medic and engineer get a limit on how much assist points they can give to a certain player, after the limit they can still give the ammo/health/repair, they just dont get points for it anymore
- while driving in a vehicle, u can see who is in your vehicle
- zooming on the minimap is changed depending on the map size
- teamkill algoritm is changed (if u shoot down a blackhawk and it crashes on some teammates, u wont get the teamkills for it for example).
- transport helicopters will be modified, this means for the blackhawk the miniguns will be less powerfull and u wont be able to repair the helicopter midair with engineers).
- teambalance system is changed, commanders and squadleaders will not be auto teambalanced to the other team

--------------------

thats about it, looks really promising, but the expected release of the patch is at its earliest at the end of september. Beta testing to a closed group of gamers will start within 2 weeks.

*UPDATE*
this came from another site, i forgot the link:

BF2 patch 1.03
Alpha - 2 Sept
· Beta - 19 Sept
· Final - 23 Sept
· CQC/ECG Sub - 28 Sept
· Release - 3 Oct

Wake Island· In a surprise move, forces of the People's Liberation Army have attacked and captured Wake Island in a bid to threaten US lines of supply. USMC forces have been short-stopped from their deployment in Manchuria to respond to this new threat. The airbase on Wake Island is the lynchpin of the Chinese air threat, however it is highly susceptible to ground attack from either the northern

Compare Feature· By clicking the COMPARE button in BFHQ, you can search for another players name and load their current stats into BFHQ. Using the arrow buttons next to the name in the top-left corner of the menu, you can toggle between your stats and their stats. You can also load a player's stats by double-clicking on their name in any leaderboard.

Favorites/History· There is a new tab in the MULTIPLAYER menu that holds a list of the last 20 internet servers you have connected to, plus a list of servers you have selected as favorites.

BF2 Account Tag · You can add a 6-character prefix to your account nickname which will be displayed in-game next to your nametag in the scoresheet, in game messages, and above your player. This prefix does not change your account name or statistic information (e.g. the prefix does not appear next to your name on the leaderboards). You can change this prefix at any time at the account login menu.

Server Reserved Slots· Server admins can define a list of player BF2 account names which will reserve VIP slots on the server.

Engineer/Helicopter· Modified the rate at which engineer can repair a helicopter while sitting in the helicopter. It now takes longer for the engineer to repair the helicopter.

Vehicle/Control Point Capture· Only one person in a vehicle counts towards a control point capture. If passengers want to increase the rate of the flag change, they must disembark from the vehicle.

Vehicle/Soldier interaction· Improved physics of vehicles against soldiers so that soldiers are not as easily killed by moving vehicles. Bring on the wing-walkers!

Auto Balance· Auto team balance no longer moves the commander or squad leaders to the other team.

Point Farming· Limits placed on ability to point farm.

Rank/Awards· Criteria for gaining ranks and awards has been changed.

Supply Drop· The commander's supply drop now has an icon on the minimap and a 3D-map icon in the world.

would it be aceptable to re-start the ranking system then if people have been point farming. the best player would be back up there in no time and the point farmers lost.

plus given this new patch has a hell of alot of fixes, a re-start would be good. top players would lose there stats yes and hard work but who knows who they are anyway with point farming by the sounds of it too easy.

And this is just one of the many problems with a point system. Why not just dump it altogether?

I like the game but i miss some jump and run elements here, perhaps they should add it into patch 1.4. They could actually add some space levels with space marines fighting evil medieval knights with sword and shield. But of course what I miss most is a level where some evil statpadding gorillas make an attack on the USA and then The US, MECs and Chineese forge an alliance against the gorillas.

Aye but with all that point farming that been talked about it means nothing in my view. I’ll respect players in games I play that’s simple you can see there in game skills as for stats they mean little to me.


I respect that you’ve spent an unhealthy time playing this game, your probably a great player but stats can only be appreciated on a personal level, there too many top ranked players out there that have farmed there way there.

With a new solid build, that hindered point farming and a few other cheats I think it would be good to start over, Even E.A felt that thay had to crack down officially that suggests how wide spread it was.

sav112
09-14-2005, 03:48 PM
I don’t really have anything against the points system, means little to me but I like they way that when you’ve done well you get the medal. I thought it was nice touch and the way the weapons Unlock I thought was a nice touch to encourage you to play, granted I’ve only unlocked the one but happy to get a good few medals and they seemed to be relevant to my play in the match. I got one by pulling off a great move in a Heli and killed about 7 good players.

As for the official Ranking thing, that does mean nothing to me. Higher ranking players are basically the guy and girls who spent the last few months playing solid and I’ve not been able to do that, there knowledge of the maps might be better but skill wise only occasionally do I see someone that is ahead of the pack.

I take it there is a leader board?

Further thinking you can come to the conclusion that re-setting the stats is one way but in all honesty after the patch and given time those point farmers will be lost anyway from the top of any list. The top players with real skill will keep on accumulating were as the cheap farmers will be lost and if they feel the need to farm then they obviously don’t rate themselves.

I’m happy just to get a stable game with a good group of players and able to win points and maps with my side. Unfortunately I’ve been getting the blue screen of death when accessing commander mode so hoping the patch fixes this every other game runs fine.

statpadders dont necessarily have to be bad players, they just have more points because of their farming. And, having more points means as much as .. nothing. But im just twatting around.. Dont mind me.

cheers!

sav112
09-14-2005, 08:03 PM
not at all but I bet you'll find as you put it statpadders are not usually the better players online as the good players just dont need lame points they have the natural skill to count on.

Average players with average skills well thats a different story.

can't wait *cross's fingers* hope it comes out soon...tho i'd rather have'm take an extra week or two or whatevers needed and have this patch be right, than just rush it cause of all those inpatient mofo's out there complaining.

as for them doing a stats reset, honestly i can care less, i don't cheat/glitch and i'm pritty decent i think, so i should be able to get back to where i am in no time.(and not pick the same unlockable wpns roflmao) honestly tho, the people who ***** the most about this, are probably the exploiters who suck and only got good ranks thru the exploits, i'm not saying everyone up top did that by all means there's some kick *** mofo's out there that diserve to be uptop, an i can see how it'd suck having it reset and having to start over, but eh its a game, stats mean absolutly nothing really cept to yourself, (save wpn unlocks, but eh u should know by now which wpns are worth unlocking and not worth squat by now, so just don't unlock the crap ones at the start) its all about having fun.

but then again, like someone already posted, even if they don't reset stats/ranks those cheating exploit tards will be at the bottom of the list in no time proving to themselves even more why they have to cheat roflmao

The game came out around june, To keep everyone happy -the people who want the stats reset and the people who dont, EA could calculate an average score what is technically, physically possible for one player since june ,anyone over a certain amount would be reset to that ammount. Just an idea, certainly a fair idea :cool:

Now that’s commitment, you could probably run tours of the map. I’m still finding the odd things in the maps. It’s amazing when you get a game that has a team that just clicks.

Best move to date was and this will show my Ignorance the map with the carrier off the cost and the big massive chimneys.

Anyway one of the flags is in a large warehouse that you can go up stairs in and walk over a gate opening into another part of the building. Two enemy tanks were working well together and drove in and as they did I was standing up in the gangway and dropped C4 on them. I let them run down the flag to neutral then Bang. Class moment.

Lets hope we get some new news on this patch soon

If it would take you NO time to get say the 10,500 points to become a corporal again, you either DO cheat, or take advantage of exploits, or you are a loser and play this game 24/7.

I care about my points. I've played the game right and worked hard to get just close to corporal. :evil:

Same here. I just got my Corporal last night. Still not showing on my siggy yet.. oh well. Felt good to play this game straight and not exploiting or using any cheat of any kind. I will be honest with ya... I thought about using a cheat. Then I was like... why would I want to degrade the quality of this game. The graphics are amazing and I would only be cheating myself in the long run. So I decided to never cheat in this game. I hope to make Seargent by Christmas :cool:

You will make it one way or another.
If they do reset, supposedly everyone will move up one rank!
I agree...cheating sucks and what's the point.
You will know you did it cheating.

Way off topic here.... but it's about whether or not one was raised right. Example: Kids come to your door (real story) and ask for money for Katrina aid. They seem like good kids and are all about helping. You give them $20. They could go blow it on candy at 7/11 or they can give it for Katrina relief. Now, I can worry about where it went, but the point is they either did the right thing or they didn't. If they didn't, then they have to live with it and probably end up "paying" for it with their conscience. That's the same here. If you cheat, you have to live with yourself.
You made the right call.:D

That would be awsome. What class would u want to pick as a career? I would proboly pick spec ops or sniper. I am good with both, and spec-forces I dominate with. Most likely spec-forces. But do u mean like a 3rd unlock or what exactly because there are already unlocks for every kit. Well looking foward to the new patch.

I for one, would love to see it removed. Reset is fine too (the more often it's reset the better!) I don't like it. It discourages teamplay and encourages people to do the things that get them points. I often play as Special Ops and quickly take out the enemy commanders command assets. Do I get points for it? No. Do I care? No. It's all about the teamplay and winning the game. The vast majority of the time I'm at or near the bottom for stats, but I'm generally a big help to my team and that's what counts.

This game is so much more fun when you can get people to play as a team. I wish more people would discover this!

WAY too many people play just to get the stats. I get so sick and tired of going to a new server only to find players point farming or when you get there they only want to play with knives because they want their useless knife badge. Sadly pretty ribbons and points distract from the real point of the game -TEAMPLAY. WAY too many people are attracted to this like fish to a flashy lure.

I understand what you say by the sense of accomplishment thing, but look at it from this perspective. Should you really feel a sense of accomplishment if you get a bright shinny ribbon but your team looses?

12M_Marshall
09-20-2005, 06:47 PM
i can see your point about people not playing as a team, but I think it's fixable and I believe they are going to address the point whores. I read somewhere that they are likely going to limit the number of times and the ways each member can perform a task. I think it would be very easy to tweak it so that the priority does get back to killing the enemy and taking flags. If I were in control (haha) I would give more points for flag capture, destroying enemy equipment, and repairing friendly equip (art and UAV etc) than they receive now, and cap total non flag/kill points to say 20.

whoster69
09-21-2005, 04:15 AM
That would certainly help. I agree that they will fix it -some of it. Unfortunately there is no way to make a fair point system. No matter how involved they get it's just too complicated to tell who did what and why sometimes. For example the other day I intentionally rammed a Humvee with 4 people in it to get the kill. He was trying to avoid me. I didn't get the kill. The driver of the Humvee did. He also got 3 TKs. It's just impossible to award points fairly and for every little thing you can do that does help your team.

I would be more in favor of points however if they would just make it where you got more of them for being a good teamplayer and it in fact got people to play that way. Sadly I have yet to see this.

Aaaah.....i'm wondering though if EA really has the best method for solving it. I sometimes go as medic and get a lot of revives off squad-mates (though not, obviously, 3 or 4 hundred points worth), so if the limit's set too low.......

Just click the tab for single player, then go back to multiplayer and you will be able to refresh the list again.

I've tried that--It don't work for me.:shakehead

Ah were going into the fourth month now without a decent update of this BF2 game.
I do realy wonder if it will happen before mid october and the reason why is this:

If we wont see the 1.0.3 somewere around mid october than i think we will see it implented in the Expansion pack SF.

And when that happen EA forces you to buy the damn Expansion pack!

If they do that it will be a very discusting thing they ever did before!
(and we heard not a damn thing about when it will be released in the future, i wonder why)

I agree that the update process has gotton a LOT worse since DICE became a part of EA, but I think they'll give up the update for free once it is done.

Wait up we have seen updates!

"Gamespy will be taking the opportunity to use their maintenance window... etc etc"

which in other words means...

"You wont be able to play bf2 today, for no reason, we are doing it so we have something to post about and a reason to **** you off"

I notice that from one of the many leaked documents about the patch, CQC testing should occur today (28th)...

Well I for one can't wait until it comes out. I'm so sick of these bunny-hopping, noob tubing asshats, its ridiculous. It will be interesting to watch them, when they have to learn to really play the game.

If it's in the Game...it's in the Game....don't like noob toobs don't use one or play a larger map...if you don' like BH'ing play karkand...if you don't like bunnyhopping .....learn how to hop.

Other than that....sit back and enjoy the ride.

I think you'll be disappointed, because I doubt any of that will be addressed.

I know what you mean. And sadly there seems to be a lot of people who are willing to be just as bad, by joining them.

I do bunny hop on occaison, but only when an APC or tank is close by and gunning at me...

Frankly, I think a lot of the people whinging about it, are spawnkilling, tank/APC whores who get upset because they can't kill every single person on the map all the time....I'm not too bothered about these people getting upset, it seems these tank whores consider every other person playing as simply being there for their own point tally and have no consideration for others enjoyment of the game.

What else should you do? Just stand there and congratulate them?

I think they could probably do the same as the Americas Army team is doing about bunnyhopping, some thing like you can't jump twice within 1 and a half seconds or something like that, I cant quite remember, but it will be interesting to see how the game plays when they bring out there next patch, could be quite iritating!!!!

I think they should not only stand there and congratulte me, but they should salute as they die. :D
Seriously, if the apc is at least trying to take the flag and killing as someone is spawning as I do then what is the problem? Idiots shouldn't keep spawning in the same place if they know they're going to spawn in front of a tank or apc. I don't care about bunnyhopping though... it's not like spawning is realistic either. We only get to die once.

I would like to know how this works. I like being a support and medic to help my squad, not for points =)
Maybe not counting friendly fire deads/heals or damage/repair?
Only thing is that resupply :S

BTW....
Isn't someone from this forum in the beta-testing group? Have you been sworn to secrecy or is there an update / progress report you can share?

An unrelated question... when are "we" allowed to post new threads?

Even worse is when they do spawn back, they spawn back as their same class like a medic and try and maybe shoot the tank a little. It's like "hello" see that giant metal armor with the long tub pointed at you; "yah, shoot it *******".
Those people will continue to remain at the bottom of the ranked server list and at the bottom of the food chain for the rest of us. Sometimes they do ruin the competitiveness of it by getting in the way or just repeating themselfs over and over by dying in the same way. Like say i come up to you and look all friendly and punch you in the nose, yah its gonna hurt. Next time I see you and I start walking up to you, you would be prepared for something bad right? Nope, not the case in-game; just hoped that they would add servers for veteran ranked/skilled wise players. Ranting....

I'm really looking forward to those as well. I like to play Special Ops a lot and take out command assets all the time but get no recognition for it what-so-ever....

It would be nice to get to a few more weapons unlocks more quickly...

I bet we see a ton of people flocking to the Spec Ops kit now after this patch. And I bet we have fewer commanders because more people will go after the commander stuff now. It will be interesting to see what happens.

I agree Wingman. It will probably be frustrating at first for those of us that play Spec Ops now but don't get the points for what we do, but hey, at least it's a step in the right direction!

Yeah i can't wait ether because helicoppters are so infested with noobs wanting to get 50 points and if they take off the in air repair it will really balence them and I say this as a heli piolet.
