Re: 2142 haters

Hm, I loved bf1942, bfv was fun, bf2 was a little fun (loved the new medic, and infantry maps) - bf2 dogfights where lame (in compare to 1942) - and i will not buy bf2142 - until this mod release. This mod would be the only reason to buy bf2142...

btw: this unlock things suck - they should kick it if it uses that much memory!

Re: 2142 haters

I wasn't aware that we were waiting for BF21 instead of BF2.

I would have to agree, the use of shields, and other in-game features that are not found in BF2 would make it a lot easier for the mod makers.  Just a FYI.

Re: 2142 haters

im just afraid bf2142 will be a push map only game, where everyone can do everything solo, and so killing the best feature about bf2 engine: squads for teamplay.
in case your wondering: yes i dislike crackland.
to much chaos with only 3 rounds (for the unknowing) to take.

this doesnt mean im not gonna buy bf2142, but i do need a demo first or i wont.
unlocks are great and they dont make you somekind of super fighter in bf2.
but bf2142 has so many, i cant be sure there wont be "superfighters" : people with no life, playing 5+ hours a day

Re: 2142 haters

Hi my first post and I have to say how disappointed I am to hear the change from BF2 to Bf2142.  BF2142 looks like a mixture of planetside and the Quake Wars game thats coming out.  I expect it to fail against planetside on teamplay and scale.  I cannot comment for Quake Wars.  It does seem strange that BF2 runs so badly and look so cheap. 
I have a AMD 64 3700 and 2 GF6600 gts sli with 2 gig of dual channel ddr2 ram and can run anything maxed out except BF2.  It is so badly designed its laughable.  The shooting is absolutley ridiculous.  Teamplay does not exist.  The squad set up is a nice idea but the average gamer is selfish and does not work as a team.  The maps are really tiny and 64 players was the limit for BF1942...come on that was 3 years before BF2 came out surely they could have doubled the size of teams. Technology and netcode have moved on not stood still festering. Maybe they scrapped that idea with all the unprofessional bugs that is still plauging everyone.
With games like Armed Assault coming with a huge single player campaign and excellent mission editor features that make BF2 look as dated as Pacman.  The multiplayer will be limited by your connection and power of PC, the devs cliam Armed Assault will allow 200 players on current PCs I think BF series will falter if they keep releasing such buggy crap.  I loved BF1942 and was so excited to hear of BF2 and was ultimately dissappointed upon release.  The shooting being the most pathetic attempt at balancing I have ever seen.  I really hope First Strike will go for a more Bf1942 style of shooting and not this random crap.  Wheres the skill in guessing?  GC had awesome shooting and it took skill to shoot people on the move.  Randomness just means your either lucky or your not, how awlful.  I will be buying BF2142 but only for First Strike and the Kobol mod.  Go on lads make EA want to employ you lot.

edit.
Seems stupid to have weapons that are available to the Army locked.

Re: 2142 haters

Well regardless of your feelings about BF2142, Us modders don't see the game as a Game, We see it as an Engine. The engine has been updated in ways that are almost Perfect for a Star Wars game.

It is ten times better for what we want to do than BF2 is. Granted they are the same engine so all this functionality should be possible in BF2 IF Die had programmed it in, Just because 2142 does things a Certain way, does not mean FS will. It's an engine we can take advantage of, and Push to the limits, that best suit how we envisage gameplay, and the star wars universe.
