i do see what he is saying mr wookie..

BUT the titan mode is an option i feel cant be missed even by WW2 mods.. its scope and range of how it could/can be developed and edited is MASSIVE.

but the choice is theres.. i always said that war games for bf2 anything scifi 2142. far enough in my eyes

Actually 2142 is bringing back stationary flak cannons, that is something BF2 doesnt have for WWII mods. The titans could be used for aircraft carriers if they are made to run on water. It would be very cool to sink a WWII carrier from the inside. It is also adding a lot of cool graphics features like bloom. The new customisable kit would be good for all mods in general. There are finally AI controlled turrets and bots, i wonder what modders could do with those? automated main base defence to stop campers? I bet 2142 has some new features they have not even revealed yet, they said they would be including modified versions of the SF toys.

Um sorry to rain on the parade but FH is certainly not moving.... you mean Forgotten Hope 2, which is currently working on the Desert Theatre of WWII, correct?

Point of existence.... mod with ukrainians vs the west I believe, present day..... why would either of them move?

Believe me, I know that star wars has many needs that are better met by 2142. Walkers. Titans provide perfect space battles, both with exterior attacks, interior and boarding. Cloaking devices, possibly jetpacks, it goes on forever.

But 2142 does absolutely nothing for mods based in WWII.... or present day... especially since BF2 is present day...

However, Battlefield40k is moving to 2142, but will release a few versions on BF2 first. That is confirmed.

In fact, the only major mods that will remain in BF2 are POE2, FH2, BFP2 and possible one I forgot. First strike was definitely on my top 2 list for mods heh, and remains that way, just unfortunately I will not have 2142 for a while at least.

Are you serious? That's GREAT news, fh is the biggest mod around and it's moving to 2142? There might be more hope left for this mod after all

Generalandrew do you of any other mods that are moving to BF2142?

Hmmmm, I'm one of those people that have decided to buy BF: 2142 because of the mods (this one spicificaly). Here are a few facts:

- It's coming out in October, not next year.
- Enemy Territory: Quake Wars uses an enhanced Doom III engine, with some elements of Enemy Territory.
- I think EA MAY have a second chance with this game because of it's capabilities. I think this will be the next BF: 1942 with the Tittan mode.

Yes it is from episode VI. I actually cut it out of a much larger scene. It was hiding in the corner somewhere away from the central action on screen.

A broadside shot like this would have been better, but it is the wrong kind of ship, and the star destroyer isn't in flames. I wonder how close to this First Strike will look?

I miss my scopeless No. 4 engineer rifle from BF1942, i got so good with it... and then they replaced it with a semi automatic.

Believe me Ramseus, nobody hates the totalbf2 "whiny 12 year old" attitude more than me.

Its just that I have never had an interest in generic, cash in sci fi of 2142. I'm also one of the few who also played games like BF1942, most of those totalbf2 types didnt.

If you enjoy 2142, good for you. I sure wouldnt, and the only reason I would buy the game is for mods such as this one.

One of the main reasons I like the battlefield games so much is because of their quasi realism. Real world weapons and vehicles are just better, why go with made up ones? To me at least, BF is as realistic as a fun game can be.

Hey fellow Wookiee, my star destroyer will pwn your fish head cruiser! (we called the calamari fish heads in GC heh)

Which movie was that screen from? Im guessing Episode VI, but there was never a confrontation like that except for the one at the death star, where the cruisers got pwned heh.

Of course there are retards who just go with the general attitude at places like total bf2 and say "no I'm never buying another battlefield game ever again because even though they're fun DICE's programmers aren't gods" and then there are people you don't know about (because they don't hang out at total bf2) who are going to buy, and have fun playing, 2142 but didn't buy bf2.

Personally, I'm still playing bf2 and loving most of the changes made in the patches (most meaning everything except gorping squad hopping)... but I can't wait until the coming wave of sci-fi games enter the market, and that includes both QuakeWars and 2142.

Just for the record, QuakeWars isn't a Quake game, it's an Enemy Territory game in the pre-quake setting.

Massive star destroyer battles? My Mon Calamari cruisers will pwn you

I think some people are being harsh here. After all, the devs are doing this for nothing and in their own time so i think the least that should be expected from us is a little support. Sure its disappointing that its going to inevitably take longer to come out but if going over to 2142 is going to result in a better gaming experiance for us then we should be happy , remember they arent obligated in any way to do any of this.

I will say though that i seriously hope 2142 doesnt turn out to be a flop , both for devs ( In what new things can actually be achieved with the engine) and fans of the BF series ( if it turns out to be a pretty crappy game in general then we wont see as many potential players for the mods ) . Anyway im still looking forward to the release of this mod whenever and for whichever game that may be.
