Yeow! It's amazing that a game would even be released if they knew they had 140 bugs still to fix.

I'm pretty damn sick and tired of idiots who punish you for a TK, even when its accidental, faster than you can even type "sorry." No one in BF2 ever pays any attention to why or how the TK happened.

If they can get these issues resolved by the time they're saying i'll be happy. My fear of buying the game was i'd have to wait 12+ months and hope to get things fixed which is just sad that as a consumer I had a concern like that :(
Better late than never, certainly. Hopefully that means that it will both have a number of improvements and be well-tested rather than meaning they have very very few people working on a fix.
