Re: 2142

Also, don't forget that polls mean nothing. Seriously. First Strike is a sci-fi mod, bf2142 is a sci-fi game. Many people don't like sci-fi, and therefore wouldn't play first strike or 2142 so those people aren't lost since we would never have them in the first place. People who do like sci-fi, however, are more likely to get 2142 and are also more likely to play first strike. You never know, we may release for both games or just for one.

On the subject of the engine, it may be the same base engine, but they've "tweaked" the engine and added new code so it isn't truly the same anymore.

Re: 2142

The main problem with SW lasers is that they're too visible and too slow. Gets rid of the stealth aspect (think SWBF2, no stealth whatsoever).

Re: 2142

My only think with bf2142 is I know my friend has the same problem... and it is our aging computers... I don't think bf2142 will be a great hit because you will need a pretty good computer to run it... I can run half-life 2 on full everything, but I have to baby battlefield 2 alittle but to stop it from crashing a few times...

Re: 2142

While EA/Dice haven't been all that great at delivering on promises, they were advertising that BF2142 should run using the same minimum specs as BF2's minimum specs.  We'll just have to wait and see for that one I guess.

If you own a copy of the original trilogy, (not special edition or dvd version) watch it. the lasers streak across the screen extremely fast, not like the video game lasers everyone is used to that go 20 mph, but for anyone that says lasers moving slower than the speed of light is totally unrealistic Starwars lasers are not actually lasers, they are plasma: coiled tibana gas. google it. For your stealthy sniping you could always use an old tusken raider rifle, those are actually supposed to shoot bullets, but some games messed that up. Better yet still you could shoot someone in the head with a grappling gun, never could figure out why those sf crossbows didnt hurt people.
