So?

What difference does any of this make, will they make a game , that doesn't require a dozen patches,which will only make things worse?

Ain't that the truth. BF2142 had a patch available before the game was even released. Every patch just screws up the game.

With the exception of the 3 free maps for BF2, any new map on ranked servers has to be bought in an expansion pack like Northern Strike for 2142 or Armored Fury / Euro Forces for BF2. $10 for 3 maps... that's insane! If we are paying $130 a month for a 32 player server, the least they could do is periodically drop us a new FREE map in a patch... but no! They change firing actions of guns, reduce damage of APM's, increase the heat on heavy machine guns, limiting pretty much every class but assault and throws them this spamable rocket that is way over powered. How is this BALANCE? Instead of changing game physics, how about actually FIXING THE BUGS... or better yet, implementing the features that have been requested since the beta like saving kit configs.

I never understood how they could release games and patches to the public that were so screwed up that you would have to be retarded not to catch some of the bugs that was included.

What they need to do is actually re-organize their quality assurance program and forget about DEAD LINES and focus more on releasing a quality product.
