There has been some pretty controversial decisions that EA are taking on behalf of BFP4F and I just wanted to first, alert you guys of the news and second, for you to discuss.

Listen up Soldiers! At the start of this month, we released weapon customization, an update that gave players the ability to personalize their arsenal as they saw fit. During this update we removed all “Elite” and “Veteran” primary weapons and in their place owners of these weapons were given new weapon attachments named “Legacy” items, that they could add to their guns. As some of you may have already noticed, these “Legacy” items have made these weapons too powerful, significantly affecting the balance of the game which we did not foresee. So in an effort to restore balance and an enjoyable experience for everyone, we are eliminating all “Legacy” attachments and removing them from the game. Existing owners of “Elite” and “Veteran” weapons (a.k.a "Legacy" attachment owners) will still get something in return, as we will replace your existing base weapons with new, unique, “+3” versions. These “+3” weapons are more powerful versions of the current base weapons with slightly increased stats and can still be upgraded with the full catalogue of customization items. We value our community and your experience with the game is our top priority. We know it’s not fun to feel like you can’t win, and we know it’s not fun to feel like there’s no challenge. We’ve taken these steps to help ensure that we are delivering the most enjoyable gaming experience possible. These changes will take into effect as of Tuesday, December 20 @ 09:00 UTC If you wish to discuss these changes please leave a comment in this thread.

A-Ten-HUT!

As the seasons change and the chilling cold of winter begins to set in, a new theatre of war as been spotted by our forward Recon teams that have penetrated deep into enemy territory. These teams have reported harsh, frozen, conditions. The absolute absence of warmth has permeated through to everything in the land. The initial images we received have been lacking somewhat due to harsh climatic conditions interfering with the Recon teams' satellite uplink, but this is what we have received so far.




Prepare to bring the fight to a new battleground Soldiers! TOMORROW WE MARCH TO WAR!

I'm almost certain the bottom left picture has a crane in it, which unfortunately means camping. The recent store updates have been FTW, I can actually buy weapons that can kill, being a free player. EA are finally getting somewhere with the balancing...

bottom left is probably dalian plant by the way, it's not quite a crane but it means JETS!

Two new maps are certain:
Dalian Plant and Operation: Road Rage.
Can't wait!

i don't know a lot about battlefield 2 maps i think it's basra with snow that is not the best gues, but that is what i have.

I dont like them taking my legacy away i paid for it i might refund all my money and uninstall

it means they downgrading our weapons?
the one we have paid for?

Yay! Another map with jets! Finally!

its true guys they've just downgraded my veterans aek to a normal aek
WHERE IS MY MONEY!!!!!!!!!!

The Bad News: Paying players weapons from before the December 1st Update will have there weapons nerfed so that free to play players have a better chance of winning (pahhh!)
The (Very) Good News!: We have a new map to make us feel better about all this crap. DALIAN PLANT BABY!
All players beware of constant trolling both in-game and on the forums

Yeah this update sucks...from the 10 games I've seen a majority are snipers -_- and the 249 holosight is pretty useless as well

I am getting it right now, lets see how it is!

I really dont like this new update, they've ruined anything good about this game. The balance is now worse, every weapon is shite and to be able to get a good weapon you have to spend 1000's of bf's a day to get something on par to that of the legacy weapons before the update. The fact that we also have boosters means paying players get a slight advantage in the interest of fairness, and the fact that EA wants even more money makes this the most screwed up thing they have done ever.
This game is going down the toilet sometime soon and I'm moving on to BF3.

Are you guys really thinking about replacing this game?

I already did
maybe a new CS will be worth having

i can't shoot at all now

Well since I have Battlefield 3, and it's a lot better than this piece of crap P4F game then yes, I guess I am although I might still join in on squad practices because I learn things that can be useful in any game.

I was in a DOSPWNZ server and it's name F*CK YOU EASY (#1 and #2) and when I got into the server the admin says "SLICK F*CK EASY" and repeats 5 times. That has to hurt EAsy.


What happened? EAsy is so... closed.

I can tell what the pictures are;

Top left: RU base with MiG, also has an RU AH beside it.

Top right: Near D facing the Power plants.

Bottom left: Crane at C, RARELY used.

Bottom right: Behind or beside A, I tried landing a US chopper there, didn't go as well. *PLOP...BOOM!*

Can you find what's wrong with these pictures?
I think I got f*cked...

didn't get any xp at all?

325870xp is the same number of xp I needed for the longest time...don't worry about it, just a glitch, you'll still level up.


And about these upcoming p4f updates I think people are taking them way out of proportion.

I don't quite get what you mean by 'taking it way out of proportion'.

As in everyone's (well almost) reaction to it on the forums and in game. People renaming their servers "f___ EAsy," people wanting to kill the game producer, and the general conduct on the P4F forums...

I do agree with Bronx on that. Sure, they made a huge buisness and marketing error when it came to balancing out the game, but things like making the game servers dead, and Forum posts is far enough for passing the line.

I do understand the players who funded for the game are frustrated and upset. I am as well. I spent $20 on the game, and look what I get in return. Nothing. When people complained about boosters, they instead do something very little complained about.

EAsy Studios has done a huge error in how they marketed the game and have done something they should regret. In result, I am no longer going to be as active for the game as I was before. Instead, I will spend my time on Team Fortress 2, Battlefield Heroes, Battlefield 2, etc. to entertain myself until further news of EAsy Studio's reaction takes action, and they fix the game.
