View Full Version : BF2 gripes...
First, the entire account creation crap. Useless and dumb IMHO.
The menu. I hit ESC, and it takes a couple of seconds to "fade in" the menu? Dumb. I hit ESC, bam, it should go there. The pause when it's loading has gotten me killed a few times, since I hit it accidentally and by the time I hit ESC again, I've been killed.
"The float"...it feels like the cursor and movement in general are floating instead of being sharply responsive. This is especially prevalent in the spawn point menu.
No ability to super fine-tune the video settings. The categories are too general. Why not let us choose to disable individual things, like water?
Unrealistic vehicle damage-taking...what happened to a single tank shell being able to take out a heli? Now it takes two or three. Dumb.
Too easily killed by collision. I drove a boat up to a dock, accidentally jumped into the water, the boat touched me and I died. That's happened several times.
Kevlar-heads! I lined up a sniper rifle DEAD ON to a guy manning the gun in a STATIONARY tank, waited....bam, headshot. He didn't die, yet was somehow able to train the gun on me and mow me down. Dumb.
The first one and last three are really starting to piss me off. I no longer use the sniper rifle because of what you have now seen. Hit a guy in the head he should be dead.
I forgot that your team is in blue, even if you're the Chinese or whatever. I've TK'd so many times because of that.
In BFV, if you were Viet Cong or whatever, you were red, USA was blue.
Is there a "Q" like feature in BF2 like there was in Bfv? Like it shows your teammates, flags, teammates in vehicles.

Yeah, I started firing at Snuf last night thinking he was the enemy .. played 'allies' for a while and the Chinese were red.. seemed natural .. I go to the Chinese side cuz no one else is there ...I see snuf in blue..so i start firing ... realizing just before i take him out he's on my side ...d'oh
the ESC thing = ARRRRRRG

I'm not crazy about the blue/red team thing...I preferred the old way. But then again, when servers have team balance on...how many people seemed incapable of knowing when the server made them switch teams...and TK'd people then coughed up the excuse "Darn auto-balance...I didn't know!" So that new feature seems 50/50.
I don't really notice much of a menu lagginess, maybe it's something to do with what resolution you run it at, if you're not matching your game to your actual desktop res and refresh? Dunno, seems smooth to me and I force my game to 1280x1024@60 to match my LCD.
The 2 things that bother me:
The death by being barely bumped by a vehicle...yeah kind of a pain. I'm not fond of that one, hopefully that physics engine weakness gets fixed in a patch.
Lack of punch with the sniper rifle also bothers me, and it seems some weapons overall are a bit weak.
However, overall for the first release of a big game...I'd say not bad. I'm not reading as many complaints about how it doens't run on peoples systems, seem to be very few complaints about CTDs. Overall I'd say the complaint list seems pretty small.
I get nervous driving around crowds of my team cause I'm afraid I'll run there pinky toe over and kill them @3mph. That's the only thing I don't like about the game.

there, 1300+ of them. 2nd highest thread count in there. I played a few rounds in a 64 man ranked server early this afternoon. I counted 78 people that got disconnected form server due to all the lag. This was on Intermode Gaming #13.

Ok, most americans are fat...
...soooo when you run over their toe they go into shock and have a heart attack :eek: :D . Voila! TK!
(Sorry if I offended anyone)
I dont see where you save favorite servers or ip's?
key bindings piss me off I like to use 1) "insert" for getting in and out of vehicles and is says" key is already in use" but I cannot find it in use in any of the control options. 2)I cant config wheel mouse for selecting weapons
3) when i double hit my altenate binding for "fwd" my guy wont sprint so I have to use "w"
4)The explosions visually suck in comparison to DC with its flaming debri however the audio is alot better.
5)The menus suck connecting to client then to server then loading data then join game takes way to long for my 1 gig of ram.
6) nickname "Rodent" is taken! :irate: should be able to call myself whatever I want makes me wonder how many accounts will 64bit have to create :p :D.
The game seems more taylored to making the development easier for developers and not the players I wouldnt be suprised if EA implements some sort of pay to play.
looking foward to "patches" the assclown

chopper flying feels "easy" and almost no skill to keep it in the air.....i don't like that, i like to feel like im flying instead of coasting around....

I still can't fly them.

Did you invert your mouse under choppers and planes? When I first got the demo, by default the mouse wasn't inverted for the aircraft and I was crashing everytime. I inverted my mouse and voila.

I find I can't get enough height to attack. I end up nose diving into the ground. With DC I could fly the choppers great and couldn't fly the jets, now it's the opposite.
6) nickname "Rodent" is taken! :irate: should be able to call myself whatever I want makes me wonder how many accounts will 64bit have to create :p :D.

The thing that pisses me off is the damn lag you get sometimes on those Registered servers. It was great earlier. I tried to play about an hour ago and it was all jittery. Plays fine all the time on the non reged ones.
As the days go by, the "connecting to account server" wait is getting longer and longer.
I saw Chris had [SG] in his name, how the hell do I get that? It tells me I can't use other characters...

I just typed it in with square brackets and it took them
No space is the problem me thinks. I have [sg] in my name as well. If you try that with no spaces and it still doesn't work, the game hates you plain and simple. Sell it! Hows the dustbuster fans doing? lol

there, 1300+ of them. 2nd highest thread count in there.
That's forumplanet though, 95% under 12 year old boogerpickers playing on their Gateways or laughable attempts at their own home built ubermachines.

The question itself cracks me up. It's like he had his head in the sand for the past year.

just alt tab...errr dammit alt esc???? WTF!!!! :irate:
*spikes reset button tower * < about 5 x since i bought the game
"are you sure you want to qwit?"
check box to "dont ask me again"
window appears again... cmon EA why leave junk like that on the final release.
ok ..after playing a lot yesterday and some over the weekend ...here are mine
the obvious..the menu and key bindings.. most fixed but still a pain
the menu -stinks
a rocket should take out the radar-- i launched like 6 into the thing and nothing
some terrain you still can't manuever around ..I should be able to roll over a tree in a tank and I think a soldier could crawl up a 2 ft little hill
the sniper rifle sucks
need more/different anti-aircraft weapons ..
when entering a vehicle i look to see if someone needs a ride .. c'mon fellas give yer buddies a ride ...some of these maps are big
that is all

I know it is, just too bad the mods there are almost as bad as the snotty kids that infest that site.
A typical thread there, including "so called helpful" responses...is perfectly highlighted in Burkes link above.
