BF2 demo growing immensley boring

[KrystalStarWolf]

Since EA decided to become the Gaming Nazis, the time limit just is not long enough to do anything other than spawn, die a few times, then the game is over. 12 minutes is not long enough! Thus, the demo is becoming aggrivating. Before, without the timelimit, the battles would last for hours in a stalemate, with large scale battles over key positions. People could move slowly, and as commander, I could take my time to think of where squads should hit next.

Now, I have no time to do anything, mayhaps launch two arty strikes and take two flags, at most, before the game just ends, usually with both sides having still 100+ tickets left. It is so annoying! Is there anything we can do to get the unlimited time back? Pleeeeeaaaaasssseeeeee!!!!!

I'm working on it.... We'll have something up soon.

[Å|ArchBuck]

be patient... full version is only like a week away... :)

[SalemSaberhagen]

I can't believe you would STILL buy it after all of EAs BS... They screw you over and your responses are like "Well... WE WON'T PLAY ON RANKED SERVERS!@!!@$%%^^"... like they care... they already got your cash...

[Å|ArchBuck]

I personally will put up with EA"s bulshit... just like I put up with Blizzard's Bullshit because in the end... I truely enjoy their games...

BF:2 thus far has proven to exceed my expectations... I won't stop playing just because of some of the bulshit I have to put up with...


remember... people don't bitch about things they like... so you only really hear most about all the stuff you don't like...

[SalemSaberhagen]

Ok.... problem is is if you still buy the game... they don't give a crap if what they did was wrong... they still make the money and that is all they care about... more money to buy out good companies to churn out a crappy game that is just a rehash of the same thing year after year.

[Å|ArchBuck]

lol... true ...very true...the game is still bought..



I think it is a big company thing... think about it... the biggest companies have the most problems... ie: EA games, Blizzard...

other, smaller companies have little to no problems... ie: malfador machinations, Looking glass (bought out... I believe)


maybe it is an ego thing? ...lol... maybe just more people to find flaws or things to bitch about

Looking Glass just fell apart. They folded as a company. Just like Black Isle turned into Obsidian.

[SalemSaberhagen]

Yes... very sad about Looking Glass... they made some of the best games ever... brings a tear to my eye :(.

EA bought Origin (sp) distributed games for Looking Glass Studios...

Surprised...

Surprised...just because someone bought your original distro people doesn't mean you give up. with a good release resume they could have signed as part of UBI.

If they don't fix this friggn connection problem I got.. then I obviously won't be gettin this game. Actually , I won't be gettin it if the time per map is capped at 12.. cause that's just stupid.

[FiLTHY_SNiPER]

I uninstalled norton, disabled my firewall and I was able to join WIH #1. Later though, I tried to run the game again but it said something like rejected connection when I tried to log in.

[Kev Kanos]

EA = Valve = :upyours:

[Bonez]

EA = Valve = :upyours:and you=drone=lack of own thinking.

seen this all before, your an agree monkey, someone says somthing sucks you agree(But faun all over it, and play it constantly). even though you have no real problem with it.

[Kev Kanos]

I am not sure what your problem with me is bonez. I like the game. They make a good game and they know it. That is why they make all these rules that make no sence. I dont like the 12 minute limit. It is no time. 12 minits would be forever in CSS but in BF2 you cant do anything. If they are going to make it a rule that you have to have a 12 minute limit and say ranked servers are going to be $544 a month I dont like that. And then they say if you dont like it you can go f yourself by banning our IP. We are on the same side bonez so I dont understand why you are aiming your comments at me.

[Bonez]

because i'm getting sick and frustrated of this drone attitude that seems to be the new plague for gamers, beg and moan for a demo/game, then bitch and complain because it doesn't give you a blow job, knock you out, steal your wallet and leave you facedown hungover in a ditch.

instead of being a moan or bitch(and this is directed to everyone) be happy that you atleast got a freaking demo. battlefield vietnam didn't have a demo. and sure they could have made it 16player = 20 minutes 32player = 45 minutes but they didn't the game is coming out in under a week now they don't want people constantly playing the demo, they want to give them just enough to make them want the full game more(ie timelimit, map, unlocks).

[WHITEchicken]

oh my god.....first off i like the demo...its something different from css.
i see where everyone is coming from. i mean ea kinda said here you go here is a lamborghini but you only have enough gas for 1 minute of driving.
wih said ok here is more gas have fun.
EA then takes out its gun and kills wih.
then we are like damn that sucks..... im not pissed about the demo only having 12 minutes, but that they fucked wih and all the other server owners by banning their ips. cause im sure it cost money and time for them to put a new ip up.

I shudder to think that i agree with Boner

[sanoske]

well im still lost about how you lump blizzard in with ea. i admit they should have been working on starcraft 2 instead of ghost, even if it looks cool. all the warcrafts were awsome with great storylines and such. same with sc and broodwar. whats up?

[KrystalStarWolf]

StarCraft 2 is coming in 07. Blizzard has just been planning a story and how to keep gameplay so friendly like in the original.

To the main topic..

I wouldn't mind so much the demo issue had it not been for EA taking unneeded and extreme measures to stop this. Banning ips then denying it? That's too much for a tiny problem like this.

EA. :thumbsdown:
