Battlefield 2142's biggest feature - "Fewer Bugs"

More On: Battlefield 2
CVG recently returned from DICE HQ in Sweden (I'm guessing our invitation got lost in the ether) and came back with some juicy info.  The best is this quote from  game producer Marcus Nilson who is promising that Battlefield 2142 will be "A lot less buggy than Battlefield 2".   Keep in mind that I'm a huge Battlefield 2 fan when I say that while I'm glad to hear them focus on the quality of the game I have to wonder why it's taken them over three games to make this kind of commitment to quality.  Seriously you have to wonder what kind of software methodology they are using that generates this many bugs (in their defense they have put out some new features with the latest patch but the 1.3 causes the game to crash more than Billy Joel after an open bar).

On a somewhat related note, DICE has released a new patch beta for the game.  ** sigh **
