BF2.se's "Petition to save Battlefield 2"

Petition to save Battlefield 2
We at BF2.se love Battlefield 2 and want to do anything in our power to keep the community alive as long as possible. In the recently released list of fixes in the upcoming patch, 1.3, (pic. to the right) it seems that DICE & EA are going to ruin our hopes. We know that this list has not been officially released but it obviously looks real and if it's not, well then we'll all be satisfied the day we get the patch.

Please spread the word about this petition in any way you can. We encourage other news sites to write about it and link to this page!


"If the player joins a squad while dead, the player will not be able to use the squad leader as a spawn point until they have respawned once."
(Practical meaning: No more Squad Jumping)

Congratulations DICE, you have just spit in the face of the entire professional BF2 community. Ever since the first matches were played in BF2 players have jumped in and out of squads making the game play in BF2 both more unique and a lot faster then it otherwise would have been. The speed of the game is exactly what makes all the clans still play BF2 after almost a year. Now you want to remove one feature (yes, you heard it right, a feature not a bug!) that almost 100% of all professional players use in every single match!

We have never asked for you to take away squad jumping, and honestly did not think you would be so stupid to actually think about something like that. This WILL kill the clan community within Battlefield 2. Once the clan community falls the rest of the community will follow soon. Few of the fixes in patch 1.3 are asked for by big parts of the community – there are plenty of other things that the community wants much more. Sure it’s a cool feature to request vehicle drops by the commander but no-one asked for that. How about fixing the many bugs in the game first?

What we demand is not that this fix is completely removed, but that this will be a server setting. Otherwise you will force a split in the entire community and making many, many, players (who are already now looking into other upcoming games) leave your game in disgust.

LMAO! what the hell do these guys think is so "professional" about squad hopping? Its an exsploite. Lets see how skilled is it? you push the leave squad button, then join squad button, then click on the spawn point and spawn. Now WTF is so "Skilled" about that?

This is by far the best thing Dice has done to fix BF2 in a long time, and 8500 poeple love this exsploite? Why dont we just put the tank turet exsploite back in so that every one can go inside buildings and shoot out? It would be anouther "feature" to the game to attract the "professional" clans in. These guys dont have a clue about teamwork or skill. All vBF2 like ive said before, is all about how every one can exsploite the game and this has just proven my point. Thats why i left it.

If your clan relies on squad-hopping to win, you have a shitty clan.

When you learn to speak comprehensibly, perhaps.

On topic, I think this is stupid. Squad hopping insn't exactly a good thing, but I wouldn't go as far as rideculing EA for trying to prevent it. I know ive done it, and probably will continue to do so.

I am following that thread for some weeks now and I think it's funny that a lot of people are saying that the whole game will be ruined because they remove squad-hopping. Squad-hopping is one of the most annoying things in my opinion, it also happens in PRMM, but if your team doesn't use it and the other team DOES use it, then you have a disadventage sometimes. I think removing squad-hopping will have a positive effect on gameplay. In fact, I think every patch EA had released made the gameplay better. Except making the Blackhawk miniguns almost useless. I loved the power of those guns.

I agree it should be a server setting, the game was introduced like this and players adapted, especially the ones on a competitive level. To change it back would be rather frustrating (it's as if someone would make the AWP in CS a rifle which would require 2 shots to kill instead of the regular 1 to the chest). I ofcourse would play on a squad-hopping free server, but there's nothing wrong in keeping it an part of the game if it was there before.

Easy on the name-calling guys.
