of agree - The logical step is on to bigger and better engines, and I really do
like the feel of bfv over 42, but the performance is terrible, the maps are
exploit-ridden (worse than 42), and the anti-air solution was pretty half-baked.
Your devs grow risher as you die from lag, GI. I really do like that line. ;) I
wish the best for bfv, cos that's where I'm at, but things are not looking so
great with bf2 not so far away.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

petition, I have always thought DICE wouldn’t even look at it, looks like I
was right. They will all be getting ready to rush the release of BF2 in my
opinion but who cares from the DICE and EA sides of things? I know for a fact
they don’t.<o:p></o:p></SPAN></FONT></P>

improvement from 1.0, I must give that to them, but why wasn’t it there from
day one? It took months to make a patch that actually made the game partially
what enjoyable? Dice say that it’s a new game entirely, so how did they build
the 1.1 patch of BF1942 v1.5? Where were the features that we were promised?
Flare gun, tunnel system … never appeared? There’s a
surprise.<o:p></o:p></SPAN></FONT></P>

dead!<o:p></o:p></SPAN></FONT></P>
