hahahahaha wut a joke they made of everyone
ea already had the ability of vehicles to walk in the engine and such
they simply took it out of bf2
y u might ask?
to get more money
they started working on bf2142 before bf2 even shipped out!
they saw ideas like mechs and such from mods like that Mechwarrior one (that was scrapped because ea PURPOSELY took vehicle walking out)
na i just think of 2142 as a mod to bf2 taht u have to pay for... something will defiantely not get cause its coming out along with Quake Wars

I'm sure that all we'd have to do is copy our MOD folder from BF2 to BF2142 and make a few minor adjustments to our coding, HUD, and whatever else they're going to change. It's the same engine and they aren't going to change how MOD's are handled.

easy to port? incredible. That would be awesome because if we get half way done with FS for BF2 and then decide that we need more features that BF2142 could provide, it wouldn't be another year before we could release for BF2142. Interesting, very interesting.

there new trailer is highly impressive... must say! the mothership looks a pretty cool feature.. and having a destructable core to blow it looks cool... will have to wait an see about mod stuff but from what i heard from a dev is that it is easy to port from BF2..

Wow has EA finally realised that the community's ideas and mods are better then their game!

It's not the same. There is SO many more levels of detail and the physics are different than the BF: 2 engine. There's vehical traction, etc. That and the way you map is completely different.

well in fact it is just an updated bf2-engine

I go for Quake Wars, almost the same of this new Battlefield game, but maybe better

who knows... BF2 has more of a fan base yet is built for current warfare yet 2142 is futuristic based and may provide better tools and oportunities... (more tools LOL)

if we move onto 2142then maybe yes...

we have plans for cap ships and there capture/destruction

what we didnt plan on was how damn big they are and the travelling to other parts of the ships..thats being resolved though

I've ben watching this forum for a few weeks now and im really looking forward to see FS in action. But when i was reading an article about BF2142 I read about the titan mode. its a mode where two teams have to capture each others ship. They said that the commanders where the pilots of this ship and they could manage everything of the ship. I thought this was a great idea and im asking:
can't this idea be used in SF that the commanders manage the capital ships?

Sorry for my spelling
