Re: Sooo... whens the next update?

It is possible, but not that I'm aware of. Even if EA does own DICE they still dont make the game. All EA cares about is that they get more money back than the money they put in, they dont care how DICE goes about making that happen. DICE has stated many times that they have learned from their mistakes with BF2. They are going to listen more to the community about the game and focus on fixing bugs and balance. look at the current patch in development, 1.4. It has a beta to iron out the bugs as best as possible. If there are any bugs after 1.4 it is the communities fault for not reporting them. DICE even added a new free map after the complaints about the booster packs. You can't blame all the multiplayer hacks on BF2 on either DICE or EA. You can blame that on gamespy and punkbuster which are both entirely seperate groups.

Re: Sooo... whens the next update?

I'm pretty sure EA owns like 70% of the stock in DICE, so yeah they do own them. That's free trade for you.

edit: yeah and speaking of betas, 2142 is supposed to have a free open beta for a month or two before it's released. If a company is willing to do that for you, you should be willing to at least give them a second try (ie. trying the beta)

I'm stuck here. I was don't know whether to get Quake Wars or BF2142 now hmm.

I mean Quake looks really good big_smile but I like Star Wars hmm tough decision.

Quake Wars doesn't have 64 players.  That puts me off right there.  Also remember that Quake Wars has an "original" objective system, but BF2142 will (should) have an objective system somewhere, meaning you could essentially reproduce Quake Wars in Bf2142.  Heck, I bet that some mod team will come along and make "Quake Wars 2142."

If you can make one game in another game, I suggest going in the one you can make the other one in (in this case, Battlefield wink )
