BF2142 Patch 1.01... ON RELEASE DAY

[Stuxnet]

BWAHAHAHAHAHAHA

 

[Trevelyan]

Wow... what a surprise.

At least we can be sure it doesn't fix anything that won't still need to be fixed six months from onw.

Did you think they stopped developing/testing after the master copy was created?

a product shouldn't have a patch come out on release day - that means the game was released prematurely. obviously, games WILL need patches, but release day? cmon, the consumers aren't beta2 testers. obviously the mass market will be able to find the little bugs far more easily, but still - patch on release day is weak, especially given EA's history.

 

[Bateluer]

Thats sad, thus reinforcing my decision not to buy BF2142.

oh and bugs we found in the demo dont count? so they shouldnt get fixed? ASAP?

please... this is the first good thing they have done yet.. it means DICE is working hard on supporting 2142..

If a game requires a patch on DAY ONE, then it wasn't ready.

But this is EA, so it's not surprising at all. It's so funny because it was so predictable.

... and speaking of predictable 😉 .

 

[Atheus]

*shakes head*

It's not even worth stealing this game.

 

[xtknight]

I guess I don't get it. EA obviously can't release a bug-free game so would you rather them release the patch for these bugs in a week?

I think the problem here is that EA is so stringent when it comes to meeting date X, that they'll comprimise whatever's necessary to do it.

God forbid they should have to patch their quarterly sales targets instead.

 

[n0cmonkey]

This isn't day one, not for them. They probably sent the master to the presses a month or more ago.

Here is a novel approach. Gather all the bug from the demo, fix them, then release the product.

So what spyware enhancements does this patch add?

I guess all the other games that need patches out of the box including WoW and other MMOs wernt ready either...

I swear damned if they do damned if they dont...
Yall would complain if they didnt send out a patch for months to fix things... now you pitch a fit because they do?

yall really are strange people... me after the spyware announcment im only gonna play the demo... but I am happy to hear they are working hard on the mess EA has made...

and yes Im sure DICE knows the game isnt perfect... guess y'all have never worked under a hard unrealistic deadline... EA forces releases agaisnt developer protests... even if DICE said the game wasnt ready by thier standards EA makes the decision on weekly builds sent in.. if they say its ready it goes regardless of it state... we all know this..
so why blame the devs?

EA has been under a hard light for shady practices and running thier devs like slaves.. and yet you still choose to ignore that EA doesnt make these games.. EA is what destroys these games..

DICE.. MAXIS...WESTWOOD..etc etc etc.... all good devs now EA property and therefore must obey EAs rules and thier dates...
.. weather they like it or not..

... sounds like it just makes it stable enough to deliver the in-game ads.

Hey, at least now they have motivation to make it playable 😉 .

Of course they weren't. Are you claiming they were?

The idea is to release with nothing major to fix, not to quickly fix it.

yall really are strange people...

Thanks 🙂

No one blames the devs, only EA. No one complains about the patch, only the fact that it was needed.

Agreed, but you're wasting your time.

We're not talking about WoW, CVSiN, we're talking about BATTLEFIELD. You're so busy lathering up DICE that you don't even recognize that they're not the ones getting blasted over all of this in the first place.

CVSiN, you're the only person in this thread to even MENTION DICE!

Yes I did... to remind you it wasnt thier fault... your such a immature antifanboi that you forget there are real people behind these games... and they are the ones that are forced to live with EAs iron hand...
Dice did thier job and continue to do so putting out the patch your laughing about..

so screw EA.. they rushed another release and then soiled it with corporate greed.

thats not Dices fault who is the REAL name behind the game..

You want action then get off the message boards and write letters to people that can change it..
whining on a message board does nothing but make you yet another antifanboi crybaby that hates EA yet does nothing about them...

write the media.. write EA... get petitions together and show EA and consumer groups there is a real quality and privacy issue.

I for one have already written 2 letters today to several consumer action groups about the sneaky way EA put in the spyware that its not on the box warning you as such.. and that you are stuck with the product after you open it due to a EULA..

this is the kinda crap you should be angry and laughing and taking action on... not that the Devs are trying to clean up after EA...

but no... youll just continue to laugh and flame and you with the 1000s of others will sit on your asses while EA and thier advertising partners get away with it and laugh all the way to the bank..

You're not getting the point, son: NO ONE NEEDED REMINDING BECAUSE NO ONE WAS SLAMMING DICE! Again, you were the only person to mention DICE in this thread. Let me spell out the implications of that: no one was attacking DICE.

Do you wear a helmet when you leave the house?
