Good interview, sounds like they're addressing and aware of the community's concerns. I'm looking forward to these booster packs. Also, it was nice to see how firmly he responded to the question/complaint about them nerfing the idiotic C4 chuckers. That was sweet.

Keep up the good work, DICE.

As with a lot of games after they are released, there seems to be a disconnect with the gamers. I wish they hire someone at minimum wage or something to play the game, read the forums and report back.

"With the patch and the better AA, the reasons will become very apparent. In regards to the bugs involving incorrect vehicle lock, it is something we are endeavoring to fix."

I call BULLSHIT. They will never fix the bug where when a friendly gets out of a vehicle it shows up as an enemy to pilots. FUCK YOU DICE.

What ?? What the fuck?? The Squad Invites were a BUG?? If that's the case, why the hell was the text created?? What did the game decide to place random pieces of text together and form it's own bug? Is AI built into the game?

Jesus christ, the more and more I read these interviews the more it seems like there's just so many elements that they WON'T/CAN'T Fix so they pass it off as a bug.

What the fuck is going on over there DICE?

I'm probly the biggest BF2 supporter as far as Shackers go, and I gotta say that interview was fruitless.

Hopefully server admins will adopt some sort of labeling system, a V for vanilla retail BF2 maps maybe EF and EF+AF for both booster packs.
