Topic: 2142

This new BF is looming, I think if the release of FirstStrike is before 2142 it will have a good chance of success. If its released after 2142 I think it will get lost in the fervour of 2142.

Release time with 2142 in mind is very important. Consideration should be given.

Re: 2142

2142 is an auspicious number, it was the year the evil bunchie lords of the 8th dimension rain down cute greeny not so goodness on our planet. despite the valiant efforts of the 88th llama regiment, their cuteness repelled all forms of weaponary.

that aside, from the looks of the bf2 community, bf2142 isn't really gonna cause that much of a buzz really (in my opinion) but rest arrured for we are trying our best to release the mod as soon as possible.
now go, the llama king has spoken!

Re: 2142

I think that this mod would be better off with 2142, the game physics are more suited to it.

Re: 2142

lol ahhsai!

as far as I know the only benefit we would have is getting the atst/atat to work much better. however if that is worth it, I'm not really sure. it would probably mean a lot of converting time, and I personally don't want to port over to bf2142 since I think that game is lost, and won't be much fun at all.

Re: 2142

its EA's attempt to make sci fi. with everyone else making sci fi ea makes sci fi. they see bf series as popular. they butcher bf series with sci fi add on. kind of likes ea's attempt at vietnam

Re: 2142

Uhh... wha?

Well, I think if the game is good, porting should be considered as a viable option.  EA does not have a good reputation in considering with their past reliablity, but perhaps if they DO offer capable mod tools for 2142, then porting could be considered.  Recall that the engine for 2142 is still very similar, if not the exact same as that of Bf2.  The only thing that would have to be done would be to make a few alterations, perhaps animations to fit a new physics engine.  Who knows, perhaps EA will even be great sports and give all the mods "Porting tools" with such similar engines between the two games, allowing for the mods to easily get going on 2142, with all the stuff they already have easily over. 

Of course, this is all hoping EA not only comes through, but goes beyond the call.

Re: 2142

I refuse to buy 2142 and so do alot of other people if you port say good buy to any chance of a big fan base
