Default Hitbox needs the fixing

Ok i am reading here all the issues that needs to be fixed, but i think the main thing that needs to be fixed is security + net code, or if you want the hitbox detection system.

Many many people will put the game forever in their boxes if that doesnt change.I spoked with lots of people and that hitbox thing is really frustrating thing and needs to be fixed.I heard you have fixed hitbox for bf2142 so we expect the same for bf2.
I mean how do you explain that hitbox on bf2 ver 1.0 worked perfectly until the first patch arrived, and so on and so on.
Its frustrating to watch some older games work awsome with their net code( cs1.6, quake 3) not to mention cod 4.I dont want to **** on bf so much because i spent almost 3 years with the game.But you need to fix that net code.
I saw you explain the sys how the game works.But that system is not good and you know that.The guy is on the ground in prone position he doesnt see me, i fire 2 bursts in to his head from 10m and nothing.(dust efect).
First that dust is so irritating - i mean i fire in somones head bullet from m95 and his head dusts...come on....in that situation his had is 500m away along with his torrso.

other thing....the people with 1 or 2mb connection cant play aginst those who have 8-10 ,15 and so on.First of all he is collecting info from the server much faster(which is rediculus) .In cs there is no matter if the guy has 15 ping or 80 ping....when you headshot you headshot, the one with the better aim wins.

THe guy cant run towards to me i shoot in his head (3 bursts with delays) and i get dust.
Fix the netcode please.
I am supporting all other posts but hitbox is in my oppinion the major issue!

Thx in adv.

What can you tell us about this dice?
Little hint maybe...

AFAIK the same server stability (crashing through exploits) problems are plaguing Battlefield 2142 as well.

Will those problems be fixed for Battlefield 2142 as well? Server stability NEEDS to be 1st priority, and any other work done on whether it be BF2 or 2142 is a slap in the face imo.

the main focus should be getting rid of the frikin lame cheaters. Seems like every online game we play, a hurtin low life chump has to ruin the game for the rest of us honest players. It may be time for me to toast my rig since these lalalalalalala just degrade the gameplay to where its not even playable.

Bottom line is,
to you hurtin cheatin little punks out there...You know exactly who you are!!

I think the server hosts have a major part with the cheats. A well admin'd server makes the game more worthwhile. There will always be some cheats no matter what.

Ok dont you think that dice should have the patch completed we all know they are working on bf heroes now a closed or closing beta obviously a major problem
bf2 patch 1.5 was originally suppose to be completed before august 2008
hello !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
By the time it comes out, (if it beats bf3) it will be as usefull as an ashtray on a motorbike, or as usefull as a lit cigarette [REMOVED]anyway like BF Heroes etc etc etc from ea dice me like thousands of other people have and are opting for other games coming out now fallout 3 etc good game.
So ea, dice you lost me in all Battlefield series
[REMOVED]

Hello UK Community A hearty salute from a player in the U.S. I was browsing through the U.S EA Boards in regards of a posting about the newest Patch for BF2. I found a link into the U.K Forums and so here I am

I was pleasantly surprised to find Dice Rep's were actually alive and communicating here as I donot recall any one of them posting or responding in the U.S/EA Boards (Excepting for maybe a few on 2142 and BC)


I have been a fan of the series since 1942 and have bought every single versions (Sans console) and enjoy them immensly. Kudo's to D.I.C.E and squad.


My question is for Bazajaytee and I am sure you catch this ALL the time so bear with me. I am simply curious as to if the patch is still bieng actively worked on. We have heard almost NO information in regards to the patch since September - I realize you cannot divulge details etc, and I know damned well you cannot give a release date.

However a quick nod or confirmation in the form of "Yo- We on it, stay cool" is all I would need to bring joy to my heart.


Bf2 stands alone. Period end statement. There is no other game on earth that compares to the squad based teamplay you have brought. I would gladly pay a subscription to you (15 bucks a month even) to recieve more patches and maps. I realize bottom lines and beyond that even you as a developer wanting to move onto more challenging and fun projects.

Our hopes are up- I could care less about the bug fixes (Beyond the current hacking situation) as much as I would some new maps!

Please see this through!

Thanks for your time brothers-


-Uno

DWGUnodir:
Dont you dear come here and say ".. I could care less about the bug fixes..". Bugs are what ruining this game. If you didnt know, I have reported some bugs in this thread/other threads on this forum, and ALL of those bugs have been here since the patches. NONE of them were here in the original release. The J-10 imbalance problem for example, was made in Patch 1.2 I believe (when the plane was balanced, but the hitbox on the F-35b wasnt changed and its still too big). The rest of the bugs I have reported (server info bug, CTD when picking up a kit, and SQUADBUG) were ALL made with Patch 1.3++ - BELIEVE ME!

An example: 1.3 changed the squadsystem so you cannot change squads while you are dead - and that made the squadbug which we have today - we cant create squads or only 1-3 squads can be made.

1.3 was also the patch that "gave us" the SERVER INFO BUG: Server name/ip/graphic not always showing on the loading screen and on the "server info" tab on the scoreboard list. In fact the patch also made the other info not always showing as well (Autobalance, Time limit etc), but that was fixed with Patch 1.4. Only the name/ip/graphic is left, which is not always showing up. Bug..

And the pickup kit CTD - That bug was actually made with Patch 1.4. Sometimes when you pick up a kit you just crash right to your desktop. I believe this bug was made because 1.4 changed the kit-system a little bit, so that if you were on a server and had choosed the "Support kit" for example, the game would remember that when a new round was starting, or when you joined another server (instead of choosing the "Assault" kit as default for a new round/new server - before you quit the game).. Anyway, the game crashes when we are picking up a kit (sometimes). Bug..


Yeah.. Bugfixes are what we need for BF2, heh. Therefore I hope for the best with Patch 1.50
Sorry for long post, but I felt that I had to post this..

Honestly, I expect another minimalist patch effort here. I mean, it's pretty clear that they have a skeleton team at best working on this supposed patch. And, before he got sacked, that Collin Clarke dude all but said they weren't going to fix the J10/F35 imbalance issue as any efforts they'd made to that affect only made things worse - so he claimed. True or not, it's a crock of manure if the mods are anything to go by. While a patch that addresses all of these outstanding issues would go a long ways to repairing strained relations, I remain skeptical. The track record just doesn't warrant much optimism.

I appreciate your response- I would also agree to some extent in regards of the bug fixes, however- The only bugs I have even noted are the Squad one you are reffering to (When you are locked in a phantom squad and cannot leave/Join others) I assume that is what you mean. As a Server Admin (www.dawggpownd.net) I agree with the Server Graphic issue as well. Major pain for sure.

I don't feel the bugs are ruining this game. The Statpadding, cheating and Server hacking are. That is just my thought really.

I can live with the rest of the bugs personally- I am Not saying YOU can- Even with the bugs that are apparent to others My experience is quite good with the game.

To be honest in regards of the Random CTD that goes on- I am almost certain it is an issue with Either PB or the MAster Servers maybe- In my case they come and leave randomly with no ryhme or reason. I can go 4-5 months without any issues and then it flairs up for 2-3 days. then once again goes away for months. If it is a direct result of picking up a kit, you have enlightened me sir.

Headman is right as well- We should not expect some miracle patch that covers all bases with the limited resources to the project- I do recall reading (need to find the link) that some new maps were in fact part of the deal . If I recall the statement was made by a Dice Employee in an interview.

The purpose of my post was to get just a simple nod, confirmation , anything as to if they are still planning to release the patch to begin with. We have heard nothing in regards of progress. Just a simple "Yes we are working on it, now leave us alone" is all I am looking for.

As players of this game for 3 years, we are all used to a lack of news, so nothing new here. I just shudder at the thought of getting my hopes up only to have this fall to the wayside.

Another thing I might add is, it definitely would not hurt to have some of the Dice associates here pop their heads into the US forums either- Even the EA appointet Moderators THERE are saying this patch is not going to be released.

Clarification:

We, in fact, SHOULD expect that all the major, outstanding issues be resolved in a timely manner. We paid for the game, after all, fair and square. And, having been around from BF2's opening moments, I can honestly (and accurately) say that over the course of its patch history the game has gotten progressively worse, not better.

For anyone that wasn't around to witness the shenanigans this game has been put through and if you need proof of their existence, I'd be happy to provide it for you. And EA/Dice are textbook fail on the "timely manner" section.

For these reasons do I remain skeptical, not because I expect anything less from EA/Dice.

How can you ask about if it's coming? It was said it will come in winter (december, january, february) and now is november so it means it is still autumn. I personally don't really care about that patch because it will stay unfair due to its poor netcode. Too bad there was 2142, because low sales of that game maybe made EA (as publisher) think players don't want new battlefield, but it was just because it was worse than BF2. :/

Here is what I would like to see for BF3. Exactly BF2, but with deferent maps, maybe some added toys/guns, with the new Frostbite engine!. Fully destructible environment and you have a whole BF nation behind you...

Hi all!

I found some problems with BF2, but i really dont know if any of these has been posted, so i just go ahead and post my findings.

1) When the game is done loading, you have to press ready right, well at that point the kit selection screen pops up. sometimes the "Special Forces guns or BF2 unlocks" are not beeing shown!
The only thing to do is to reconnect to the server...

2) The Air Defense bazooka's, the one with the 2 missile's are just to plain and stupid. that is if you want to shoot on jet's... okay there is some chance to hit them, but to be honest, i do have a good aim, and i wait for the flares, but 9 outa 10 i wont hit them...

3) Blackhawks are so stupid... the guns are to weak... chopper is like a piece of plastic.. falls apart so fast..

4) Spawn killing isnt really allowed right? well give the players a 2-3 sec invulnerability moment when spawning.. this gives them the time to take some cover or to make a decision wich way they wanna go..
Spawning in the middle of an airstrike sucks most of the times when the bomb hits you instantly in the face...

H3NN3p, this thread is about the upcoming patch, not about the game in general !

Make a new thread and post it there, not here.

It's coming so chill out.


Complaint after 1.31 patch can't switch squads when dead. Was done to keep you from switching squad leaders so you always have someone to spawn off of. This made it very hard to kill off a squad or it blog the whole game fighting over one flag. That you didn't have to protect the squad leader at all. The patches must did something good for the game you still playing the game. They helped the game alot just some got mad after they took unreal moves and tactics away.


Most seem to forget the game is loosely based off real world. If you wanted goofy moves and among others things go back to quake wars
