good stuff! plz plz plz let BF2 start after I patch :-D

And i thought it would be released in 2142.

Ok, first 15 minutes of gaming ended with CTD

. I saw a lot of lag and my ping was very high, though, there were some other ppl with high ping in that server. Anyways, i saw some improvement of performance. No stuttering in the beginning and slightly faster loading times. But after 10 minutes is started to lag and stutter as hell. What else...sync issues: Tank was shooting at me, it blasted me to pieces with rocket, but i didn't even hear a single sound. While i used my Eryx, i shot at tank, shell exploded at tank, and in a moment my weapon was reloaded and that shell wasn't shot out. So god damn, we're still in 1.3 It's like 1.3 ALPHA they dug up. Fuck them, i just hope i can play PoE2 now.

Oh and...I can't play PoE2 now. There are no servers in the list...Only few 0 player 500 ping servers. WOOT!!!! Can't play PoE2, their patch sucks, i just wasted 140 megs of bandwidth. I COULD HAVE USED IT TO DOWNLOAD PORN FFS!

Ya sync issues still suck in 1.4. I was about 50 feet away and AT'd a full vodnik that was capping a flag my rocket went right through the back and out the front. BULLSHIT. Same old crap with one on one combat you plug a guy 15-20 times he dives through it and kills you in 2 shots.

If there was anything worth shit to play besides BF2 this game would have died already but it is kept alive by the lack of available FPS games.

BF2142 isn't worth shit itself, I'm in the beta and it plays like a rushed mod and of course it'll be out months before QuakeWars making it the only new FPS to play for a while.

15 min and I got CTD too.. (BF2)
Ping is fine..
Never had stutter i normal BF2. Little in poe2, havent checked with 1.4 yet.

Found 1 server that worked with poe2, called something like "Joes 1.4" with 40 slUts
