Thread: 1.40 bugs(not very much fixed)

I'm a little skeptical of EA at times.

We gave them a detailed posting of a very specific glitch in one of the titan maps. You can destroy a particular titan within 2 clicks of the mouse. It kept happening by accident before we identified the issue.

We had a group of admins get together and check every single titan map and check each and every titan to see if it could be duplicated.

We then sent the results of our findings to EA. Want to guess what did NOT get fixed? But hey, I was reading Smart Money magazine this morning (or maybe it was another one) and they are recommending EA as a good purchase for the next few years. $58 million / year in sales is what I think they said. $2 billion on the football title since it was first released in, uhmmm, 1992 was it?

Whatever, point is, I seriously doubt they would listen to us. The length of time it took between 1.25 and 1.4 contributes to my skepticism as well.

There won't be another patch. 1.40 was the last patch for 2142 that they were going to make.

Plans for 2142 Expansion or Booster Pack Scrapped

Looks like the end of the road for 2142



Word has reached us today from a reliable source, that any plans that might have been in the pipeline for an Expansion Pack or additional Booster Packs for Battlefield 2142, look to have been scrapped.

Rumors say that the sales for the title were just "OK" and the number of players playing the game continues to dwindle.

Dice has all hands on deck for the production of Battlefield: Bad Company for the Xbox 360 using the new "Frostbite" engine, in addition to the other mystery project that they are working on.

Rumors that Battlefield: Bad Company will also be released for the PC continue to be unconfirmed by Dice regardless what other sources are saying. Only time will tell if this title will be ported over to the PC platform as well.


Development and bug fixes of the 1.40 patch with the Highway Tampa map for 2142 continue, but no word on a potential release date has indicated yet. The 1.40 patch could be the last for 2142 if our source is correct.

Links?

And "our sources say it could be the last one" means nothing. My sources say that they are planning to make a free expansion coming out next year. Doesn't make it true.

My sources say you get a free mail order bride with purchase!

Complete heresay.... utter jibberish of a guy that is not in the management team or he would not be supposedly quoting rumors.

The patch has some errors in my opinion, no doubt.... Now we need to help fix them and communicate with EA.

That is the one of the smartest most constructive ideas I have heard all day.

I guarantee there won't be another 2142 expansion or patch. It is true that EA has much more interest in other games like the new Battlefield coming out. It is also true that 2142 doesn't have a very large player database and EA could put their effort into a much better cause. Not saying this because I don't like 2142, hell I love it, saying it because it's most likely to very well be the case.
