My goodness! It's rather heated over there. It seems to me as though there's "much ado about nothing" Still, it passes an otherwise boring afternoon.

DICE's spin on this.....................

Community Update - 5/09/06

Greetings Soldiers:

We at DICE and EA are aware of the concern surrounding the coming change to squad selection. We would like to take a moment to ease the feelings of tension related to this change.

Our goal is to refocus game play on team work, squad coordination and to also remove the spawning exploit used by some. In BF2 we introduced tools that would allow players to support one another as they battle for control points. To further enhance this aspect of game play squads were introduced to give players even more tools to coordinate their efforts and support each other.

Allowing squad mates to spawn on the squad leader was intended to provide an easy way for squads to stay together during chaotic battles. Unfortunately squad leaders have been used by some to launch team wide attacks on remote parts of maps with little thought to actual team unity beyond these maneuvers.

We believe this change will refocus the game play on team work and add more value to the roles of Squad Lead and Commander.

Sure is a lot of blah, but a wee bit of sense.

If only they altered the game so that real team effort was the only way to play I could see it. Removing the SL spawn atm would just degrade gameplay imho.

What the hell are EA up to?

1st they bring out the best game since CS...

then, instead of fixing the few serious issues & bugs, they bring out Special forces £15 & Euro-nonsense(lumme, It's Mary Poppins Gor blimey guv'nor)£5...

meanwhile patch follows patch...making mines non ff was the straw for me...why not turn off ff altogether....you can't chuck C4, medi packs or supplies (why not? I can chuck a pc several metres), then you could spam claymores and mines...then you couldn't, now they are fundamentally changing the nature of the game.

now this booster pack (is it free?...me doubts it)
Tank battles on US soil!! (please note the double exclamation marks)

I wouldn't mind playing the prmm version all the time rather than put up with this rubbish.

is it possible to not patch and play on unpatched servers?

So what is the point of the SL then.

Is  that not one of the basic tactics of the game.

I'm sticking to WOW  :frusty:

Rather worrying to say the least. I do like bf2 but hate when it crashes to desktop for no reason :(. There are i think a limited number of people allowed to spawn on the squad leader anyway aren't there so what ea are talking about is a load of rubbish :P.

Am I just reading this wrong. Arn't they just removing the ability for someone to switch squads and spawn on the SL without first spawning at a flag?

Switching squads simple to abuse SL spawning seems like an exploit to me.



But I don't play BF2 for fun let alone matches so ill just keep on walking :)

No, only when the SL is in a vehicle and there are no more places left.

I think this will have the most impact on competitive matches and scrims - we use this tactic a lot and it takes time, practice and skill to pull it off.

I wish EA would give you the option to either have it enabled or not, that way everyones happy - I wish they wouldn't just make a decision on a gameplay function and change it when there are other more fundamental bugs in the game ie enemy tags on friendly players that need addressing.

I've had that 10-20 times in total. I have even seen it occur to me and others at the same time, so we all shot at our own squad member  :rolleyes:
