Re: which game is better right now? BF2 or BF2142

I actually like infantry combat. I'm hardly ever in a vehicle... But then again I do like fighting against vehicles. And I enjoy 2142 way more than 2. Hmmm, and of course I'm always right.

Re: which game is better right now? BF2 or BF2142

I find battlefield 2 and 2142 Repetitive, and normal 1942 got boring, but I cant stop playing the  forgotten hope modification for 1942.

Re: which game is better right now? BF2 or BF2142

I just recently bought bf2142 (been playing the demo before). Played alot of bf2. Even though they fixed alot of the lame things I am liking bf2142 more. Mostly of the cool "toys" it has and titan mode is fun. Plus I'm a fan of unlocks of gear other than a main gun. Was debating to use my gift card to get bf2142 or save it, but the Firststrike mode was the deal breaker. tongue

Re: which game is better right now? BF2 or BF2142

I played BF2142 about two weeks when it was released then I went back to BF2. Now I'm playing BF2 mods and waiting other mods like FS(ofcourse),FH,EOD,Brickfield,BFapocalypse etc. So I can't really say which one is better cos they're using same engine, maybe BF2 cos there is bigger mod community. Only reason to keep BF2142 on my shelf is this mod. smile

PS. I don't like neither(bf2142 or bf2) Vanillas cos they are based on ranking. Ranking which is good for people who play 24/7 and hunt frags in every possible way to get some virtual badges. I'd like ranking if it's based more to real playing skills like teamplay. But it's really difficult to adapt those kind of ranking indicators to game. So no ranking at all is the best option. Ranking makes many(not all) people act like idiots example. soloplaying/camping/statpadding = game is ruined.

Well... I just had to say this big_smile

Re: which game is better right now? BF2 or BF2142

True the whole ranking setup does tend to promote the worst in players. I remember having rank and such in CS back in my net cafe days. And alot of the top players on there are the biggest jerks. Heck I end up banning most of them from using aimbots and such, and most of the other rely solely on exploits and such to get their rank. Some people get so crazed over it that they are willing to bring down the fun factor for everyone else so they can get rank. I personally play on rank servers to get badges and get some cool unlocks. That part is fun, but I fully agree how puting a rank system does bring down the quality of the gamer.

Re: which game is better right now? BF2 or BF2142

I'd have to say that BF2142 is the better game.. It seems a bit more refined as well as balanced to a better degree. 

Unlocking stuff is a nice extra.  If your new and you suck you can always join the servers that don't allow unlocks. wink

FS is probably one of the best reasons to buy BF2142 but i've found I like it for other reasons as well. 

Weapons are very accurate if you use semi-auto and aim your shots.

Assaulting the titan is quite fun as well.

All the extras you can outfit yourself with makes the game and I hate going back to BF2 and the rigid class system thats used in it.

I've got about 1/2 the unlocks and its really quite fast to unlock more.  Its not really a factor having people just trying to get points.  I always get the most when theres good teamwork going on.  People on public servers are always going to run around on their own with little thought to teamwork.  I don't think you can rightly blame a Ranking system on it.

Frankly when I want to get the next unlock I'm more inclined to work in a team as it gets me points way faster.

I don't see how soloplaying/camping/statpadding = Game is ruined.. 
people like "soloplaying" it is never going away in games where people are somewhat free to do what they want.

"Camping" I always just think is an excuse to whine about your team getting your asses kicked.. Its about winning using whatever is at hand.  Sure it sucks when you get blown to squeezey pooh over and over again.. So do something about it.. Try to organize your team so on the next map rotation you don't get beat down to only one spawn point.

Statpadding.. Who cares.. It doesn't really effect anything that happens on the battlefield.  Skill in the stuff you pick decides the outcome. If you pick carefully theres no reason you can't be outfitted just the same as someone who has played for a long time or that has cheated his way there.  Aimbots just make things more of a challenge.. big_smile

Re: which game is better right now? BF2 or BF2142

Most servers punish people who abuse things too much anyways. My only beef thus far in bf2142 is the sentry guns and when I bust my butt off to help my team then at the very end I get switched to the other team, but I guess that is how my luck goes tongue
