Planned changes in version 0.7.7 BF2

The upcoming next version of BF2 does look can revolutionary. At first glance, it does not introduce any new functionality. The most important changes you will find but "under the hood" that is in algorithms. While at first they appear to be minor… I think that will affect quite significantly on the realizmy and strategies of players.

So here are the most important changes that you will find in the next version of the game.

Sundance Festival

The Sundance Festival is the most famous festival of independent films. In the new version are tightening the criteria for nomination of movies to the Festival. Well, the total cost of the film (including advertising) will not be greater than 10 million.

The reason for this limited is probably obvious. Strangely looked when Sundance prizes by earning big blockbustery with multimillion budget. The introduction of this limitation will cause the Festival finally will be guided by such productions as a matter of fact. Small, independent with a small budget.

Changes in age categories and censorship

The allocation to the appropriate age category so far has been based only on two parameters: the amount of violence and sex. Not until the end of this is consistent with the reality of the new version of the effect on the category, from which spectators will be able to watch the movie, will also have its completion and target (target group).

I accept that ambitious films cannot be intended for viewers without age restrictions. Most often they touch on topics too complicated for the young viewer. So the minimum age category for such a movie is 12+. The same is true of artistic films, which can only be understood by older viewers. Therefore, for artistic films, the minimum age limit is 15+.

And what impact does the end of the video have? Well, films with a tragic ending will not be able to be without limits. The minimum category for them is 12+.

What about censorship? Well, the film will still be censored, however, censorship will at most limit the level of sex and violence, but does not necessarily affect the lowering of the age category (precisely because of the target or termination).

Number of creators and video ratings

The new version will also change the impact of the number of creators on the critics' ratings. The number of points will be distributed among each role. It will depend on the role of the creator (the more actors, the less importance of the original characters). This change should have a strong impact on ratings for videos with more creators.

Critic ratings

I completely redesigned the algorithm for critically acclaimed films. They will be stricter, however, I think they are fairer in their assessments. This time we will less often have to deal with the situation that a good performance of only one creator, while the rest did poorly, is able to lift the film to a good rating.

These are the most significant modifications that will be made to the algorithms in the upcoming version of the game. In addition, some important bugs that you have found so far (such as the ability to complete the 20 Babelsberg Challenge from Challenge Mode) will be corrected.
