Topic: which game is better right now? BF2 or BF2142

I know eventually im gonna have to buy BF2142 but i just need some inside scoop. Are you guys still avid players or is everyone going back to BF2 until FS comes out?

2142 only costs 13€, so I think so it's worth the money only if you play a few weeks imho, I also think it's a nice game, I got a bit tired of BF2 after a year.

BF2 is more skillful and exciting- 2142 is more fun, with rank-ups and new toys every few thousand points (and they come quickly due to career point system).

Not being bombed to pieces every time you drive along a road is nice, and not being gunned down by choppers the whole time is also refreshing.

However, the guns aren't accurate enough (except for the support guns), you need to be way too close to shoot people properly.

The vehicles are much weaker against infantry (1 rocket to the back of a tank+boom) but in some ways that's a bad thing - no more massive rush for cover that you had in BF2. Having a tank chase you really got the adrenalin pumping. Also, anti-tanking used to be a challenge, now its way too easy.

Its essentially BF2 noobified. So play it for 6 months or so, get all the unlocks, and go back. I think I'll switch back soo (except that I just got Medieval 2 and am still playing BFME 2)

Special Forces is still by far the best though.

You just don't know how to use Semi-Automatic.

The guns are perfectly accurate. You just can't jump in the air and shoot people like in HALO.

I agree BF2 Special Forces is the best of the lot.

Hey, I like the game. I just think a little more range could have made it better. And I don't play Halo.
