I know its a slow hard process but hey thats what Beta testers are for. hire a few more of those. & maybe 'Asimilating' a few GOOD/DECENT/GREAT companies might actually seem a good idea to the cosumers since the coding/testing teams are being more proactive in their work instead of leaving it till release & damage their own/the games reputation/enjoyment by releasing bug ridden goods.
the BF2 series is a prime example....
oh yeah & get rid of the EA start up screens each time i have to load into a BF2 server from X-Fire.
I love to play BF2 but if it takes 10mins to load into a game each time ive already decided i want to play - id rather go play with my balls instead.
Obviously i cant speak for EA recently as i havent played any of their releases but I heard BF2142 was buggy as hell.
& its a shame the other expansions for BF2 werent ever released on CD/DVD
going on take two's website they have games on their like GTA IV.
If GTA gets EA'd :eek::eek::eek:
I like my GTA with funny fake commercials, thank you...
