Re: Why BF2142?

I guess none of you  read:

LOL genre doesn't matter since the UT engine is so flexible. Heck you could make RTS with it. People have made RPG's and Racing games with it.

It would take someone who sorta knew what they were doing 15-30 minutes to change all the movement options in UT2004 to those of BF. As proof that you can make pretty much anything with UT engine, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Red_Orches … ined_Arms, where you run around caping control points by standing near them in WWII, sound familiar?

*BESIDES*

I made this thread cos I wanted to hear what the DEVS had to say

Re: Why BF2142?

There are many reasons why 2142 was chosen.

1. the BF franchise is the best for MP and this the most popular
2. alot of the Devs had experience on the BF engine
3. we started in BF2, but it became clear that 2142 would be our ticket to having walkers
4. the UT engine could never support the epic battles that we wanted at the time, granted the engine has improved since then, but BF was the best engine at the time
5. despite what people may say (its normally people who "heard" and never actually tried", the BF engine is easier to mod for the normal person aka non programmers


Hope that clears things up smile

Thank you big_smile

Although, I'd like to know why you pegged programmers as not normal wink

Re: Why BF2142?

Real "programmers" from the ones Ive met , are the dullest , wierdest , friendless-est people you will ever meet ... did i mention they are strange to the point of scaring you ?
Im talking the ones who live with a borland compiler, and can write in assembly language ... in their sleep.
These people arent the optimal ones for creating something that is supposed to also be fun for normal people.   
And modding the BF engine is not a walk in the park either ... so lets not delude ourselves into thinking somehow this squeezey pooh is easy.  LOL
At least you dont have to have the personality of a cucumber with a carrot stuck in it .
Did that make sense to anyone ?
