Re: First Strike 2142

That was my impression.. What comes to the money, may the one who invented it enjoy his time on the flames. But we live in a world of money, and you can easily spend the amount for the game on a few nights out in the city, or enjoy a new game for a long time.. All a matter of a point of view.. And I sure wouldn´t go calling one of our forums most productive, and creative gameplay thinkers an idiot too hastily. smile

Re: First Strike 2142

Gracias amigos big_smile . I was refferin to the game in general. I don't really love EA, but they're not exactly the boogie man. Above money, they want your loyalty to the bf franchise. If 2142 was some sneaky money grab trick how will they ever get people to buy bf rome (please o please!)? I love bf2, it was worth the 50 an the occasional bug. An I think 2142 will be the same. (don't feel bad bout callin me an idiot btw. i passed spanish this year by 1.43 points. which actually might explain alot...

Re: First Strike 2142

BF Rome lol.

I have faith in the BF series I mean BF2 has a lot of new material and improvements, though faults and the recent press releases and videos of EA's committment towards the community have showed that they are trying to come out with a better product (at least I hope so). The BF series has given me some of the best games and mods that I have ever played and with all the new features of BF2142 I don't think that I will be disappointed.

Re: First Strike 2142

The BF series is the daddy of online gaming. No doubt. Yea it has a couple of bugs but so do all games and believe me, no game gets fixed 100% , so why do EA get crucified? I'll tell you why ....because the BF series is the most popular , thats why.

Theres no reasn to doubt BF2142. 

The fact is you dont HAVE to buy booster packs etc. I have just BF2 and the Special Forces pack ...I play Special Forces a hell of alot more than bf2 so that was probably the best £15 Iv ever spent! big_smile

I really dont see what all the crying is about. If you cant afford , on average, £45 (bf2 vanilla and special forces) a year for a top quality game then theres something wrong.


BTW , theres no way the booster packs could be included in patches! I dunno about the other booster packs but Special Forces has alot of new content and maps.

Re: First Strike 2142

Ok, the booster packs bring in, each, about three maps and several new weapons. Here's what EA did before the booster packs: (Battle of Britian Objective Mode in Patch v1.6), Invasion of the Phillipeans (with new Marine skins for all Pacific maps and new vehicles for both US and Japan, Patch v1.45), Liberation of Caen and Raid on Agheila (Caen adding a new army with new assault weapons and vehciles for both Germany and Australia Patch v1.6). This is why I'm mad. EA's charging what they used to do for free. Really, what's listed above is more than what a booster pack does today, and for more money. And there was alot of additional features added with BF: V patches as well.

About someone said something about a game can't be 100% perfect and that every game will have bugs- I agree, nor is that what I'm trying to say either. I don't expect any game to be 100% perfect.
And who knows, MABYE, I will buy BF: 2142 in hopes that EA learned from BF: 2, and they release quality patches again, with media added.
