3) Wont make anymore money out of BF2

Yeah... I guess you are right. Oh well...

I'd add number 4 though:

4) Don't get useful information/bug reports and instead are spammed with "we want this that or the other" and childish rants about how the m16 should have 5000 20mm rounds.

I disagree with no. 2 though. They built one hell of an engine. They *KNOW* how to fix their own code.

No. 1 & 3 are the most likely though, although I would rephrase 1 to "they don't give a shit about adding new stuff esp. when there is no money to be made".

infact that is untrue belive it or not.

DiCE Sweeden made BF2, and as soon as BF2 was shipped out they went onto making BF2142.

the people who have handeled the Patches and xpacks has been DiCE Canada, the same ppl who made BFV. There where not envloved with the development with BF2 much and this is why there patches normaly brake more stuff than they fix.

But DICE Canada is closed now. Perhaps since it will be back in swedens hands they can work it out?

Ok... So DICE Sweden built one hell of an engine

Just because another dev team works on someone else's code does not mean the result will be crap. I've fixed bugs in programs by other programmers. Heck, thats how open-source works - and just look how stable Linux & Firefox are.

Sure, its ideal for the dev team that built something to work on bug fixes, but unless they release the source code to the PR dev team... BFV programmers should be able to handle fixing bugs in BF2 - what is essentially a evolution of the BFV Refractor 2 engine.

And quite often, (at least in projects I've worked in) looking at things from a different perspective (from the outside instead of from the inside) can bring fresh ideas and reveal problems not before noticed.

Lets not be to hasty in our bad comments guys, you never know they MIGHT get it RIGHT this time, but there again I might be talking utter crap as well.

You most certainly are. Have a star so I can be patronising.

The British dont have a sense of humour, do they? Except for Benny Hill....
