Re: 2142

Oh psshhhfchaw!

You're only saying that sci-fi games are unpopular because the big sci-fi shooters are only in development right now. I'm telling you, sci-fi is going to be the new WWII of shooters in a year or two. I'm sure before MOH, COD, BF42, and other huge WWII shooters people thought that WWII was unpopular for games and had a small fan base.

I'm sure that most, if not all, Wolfenstein: Enemy Territory players are going to switch to QuakeWars: Enemy Territory when it comes out (WWII to sci-fi), as with many BF players going to BF2142.

Blah blah blah, everyone's tired of doing what they've been doing and are switching to different things, namely sci-fi.

Ooh, ooh, do I even need to mention the huge success that Battlefront was in terms of sales? Yeah, it played like hot bantha poodoo, but it sold like hot bantha cakes.


Even the mod community is starting to do more sci-fi, there's I think 3 or 4 original sci-fi mods for BF2 in development, and then the unoriginal ones like First Strike, empire rising (the other sw mod, I think that's what it's called), stargate mod, and RoK. Yeah, there's clearly no interest in sci-fi.

Re: 2142

I don't know if alot of persons of the bd-community going to move to BF2142, they get pretty tired by the lack of improving patches for BF2

Every patch changes the gameplay and brings more bugs (of course they solve some of them), but we always download new patches and most of the time it breaks compatibility and brings us less to nothing new or improved

So I don't expect to see BF2142 as a very good game, everything (code wise) can be in BF2

e.g. Quakewars announced vehicular drops by the commander, so EA added this in the new patch for BF2

At the end it is BF2142 vs. Quakewars

So who's gonna win this round?

Re: 2142

Me.

But anyways, I can't agree with half the stuff you guys are saying. Ea is muchos meanos. They gave me such crap when my cd key spontanesouly decided to stop working, and I requested a new one. And yes, they don't seem to understand teh importance of testing before releases. But you can't seriously be claiming they took features out of BF 2, specifically to use in 2142. Thats 'never went to the moon' style talk. And I really like the looks of the feel 2142 seems to be shooting for. The storys garbage, of course. But if they'rea ble to do half of what they claim I think it would make for a stupdenous mod enviroment.
Plus you can be rocketed out of apc's in a pod. Nuff said. big_smile

Demos rarely do a game the justice it is needed, especially considering the modding side of things.  And I don't think EA will be too happy to release a demo with the.... unfortunate events that occured with the BF2 Demo.
