Battlefield 2 Community Update
The Battlefield 2 website has been updated with a new community update. In it, DICE/EA acknowledge the issues brought upon by the latest patch, while also telling mod teams: "we understand the difficulties you have worked through and we are continuing to look for ways to help everyone and find ways to promote all of the mods and their hard working teams".

replyFar too little, far too late.
Shitty support, money grabbing 'booster' packs (what do they boost apart from EA's falling bottom line?) and horrible QA/Patch releases have killed the fun.
BF2142 will be more of the same.-
Gotta agree. After installing the latest patch, my harddrive is thrashing constantly seemingly loading shit whereas before the patch, everything ran smoothly. Now it's a fecking slideshow for the first 10 minutes of the map. WTF? 3.2 ghz, Nvidia 6800, gig ram. I've really soured on BF2.

The issue you describe is totally related to RAM, brother. I had the same problems!
The fact that the patch seems to reset your graphics settings may have messed you up a bit. But since upgrading to 2 gig of RAM, these stutters have been completely eliminated. I've been able to bump up the details to high, since the game's no longer wrestling with limited resources for textures.
The difference is like night and day. BF2 is a just massive RAM whore.

ET:QW = id software (produced by Splash Damage), i don't think there'll be any buyout by EA there
-
Actually, developed primarily by Splash Damage, secondarily by Id Software (Id made the engine, and also helps out Splash Damage with some other stuff, afaik), and produced by Activision.
And yeah, there's no reason why any of them would sell out to EA. They already make bucketloads of $. Under EA, they'd be treated like peasants, and they wouldn't be able to make top-class games.

Yeah because you've travelled in time and gotten a copy of QW:ET already, right? Isn't that what you're basing your dramatic claims on? LOL Give us a break, QW:ET may be great but it's hardly a lock, especially considering it's being produced by a company that's never developed a full product before not to mention that the main product they're know for (Wolf:ET) wasn't terribly impressive. I'm not saying that BF2 doesn't have its issues but please refrain from wild speculation, it's a waste of your fellow gamers' time. Thanks.

I'm still patiently awaiting "Desert Conflict" for BF2. Its what BF2 should have been -- huge armor battles, less monotonous foot-pounding around maps.
As for the "money grabbing" comment, if no one bought the booster packs, they wouldn't charge for them ... don't blame EA, blame the people that actually paid for them.
