Would you rather have no patch on launchday and have it more buggy ? I don't understand why people think having a patch on launchday is something bad.l

A patch on launch day is bad because it says the quality of the "testing" phase was not as good as it should've been, if a bug slips all the way through until the release date, then the QA team didn't do their job properly.

agreed

Patch on launch day is usually a good indicator that the game was rushed. We are after all talking about EA who likes to spit out one game each year per franchise, and this game is no better. But much of the blame lies on DICE as well, as they spit out a large amount of patches for each game they make.

Patch on a launch day is more like a norm these days.

The reviewer forgot to mention price. BF2142 is nothing more than a mod of BF2 with new skins for guns and vehicles, + 1 new mode. There are virtually no other changes, an usually mods/expansions cost less than the original, not the same or more.
