Developers Offer Solution to BF2: Modern Combat Audio Problems
Ever since the news of the successful Battlefield PC game franchise coming out on Xbox 360, not a few fans anticipated its release. The minute it became available in videostores, floods of gamers rushed and bought a copy. The second they started playing with it, they noticed that there was something wrong with the headset communicator – but thank the gaming gods for apparently, the developers have noticed it too.
According to a post in the official EA website, they are well aware of the audio problems, particularly with the headset communicator, and they have offered some solutions for it. While some gamers may have just shrugged off the glitch (hey, what’s important is your aim, right?), EA and developer Digital Illusions have taken some necessary steps to provide a solution, which they later on will release in a patch. For the meantime, Battlefielders are given directions for a short-term solution such as logging in and out of Xbox Live and deleting the marketplace demo that is said to be creating the glitch. With all the noise from the command tanks, choppers, and more than 70 kinds of weapons, I actually think the game would be better off without it, but then again, war without explosions, cries and gunshots is not very different from life with a thousand Jack Thompsons.
