Re: Ranking. It's cool and all that but...

I love the new stats system ... should bring a ton moer playetrs. I just hope the knifers stay with 2142!

Re: Ranking. It's cool and all that but...

Knifers irritate me as well. But if I let someone close enough to knife me I need more practice. (I've been knifed allot in the short time I've been playing BF2142.)

BF2142 Screen name: Sfakianos

I could take it or leave it. And besides when I'm playing on a team with a few good squads no one gets the opportunity to knife.

I like the idea of ranking/unlocks.... BUT.... I would still leave the benefits of in squad only perks. The game play is so much more intense and organized with squads.

Also please consider a SP option with all weapons unlocked so we can practice. Thats one thing I don't like about BF2142 Vanilla. I get a Field Upgrade and I have no way to train with it unless I get an unlock for the item. Kind of pointless.

Re: Ranking. It's cool and all that but...

Knifing always is a tactic, but it's better to use it when you NEED to (I.E. when you're right behind/in front of/beside an enemy) and not when you DON'T need to. (I.E. when you are at ranged weapon range) The knife is there for a reason: Close quarters combat if it is necessary. Either way...dogtags really should be out.

Again...squad ONLY perks are really too harsh. That FORCES people to get in squads, not ENCOURAGES them. People don't like being forced...you could still have rewards/perks for non-squad, but have BETTER rewards/perks for working in a squad. That way you aren't FORCING people, but they still get better stuff if they are in squads, so they will want to join a squad.

Curses, foiled again!

It doesn't force people to get into squads. It would only encourage them to. If you don't join a squad they wouldn't get a neat weapon but they can still play, it would be extra incentive to join a squad which is pretty much hte same as encouraging them to.

I don't like unlocks either way though, just pointing out that yo uare wrong smile

Also, would like to point out about the knife thing, soldiers are never rewarded for killing someone with a knife over a gun. You would probably be dishonorably discharged in the real military if you knifed someone you could easily have shot instead of putting them agonizing pain of bleeding to death, or suffocation or however.


ughh... whatever...

Also, would like to point out that THIS ISN'T REAL LIFE...If realism is what you want, WHY THE HELL ARE YOU PLAYING A STAR WARS GAME? Go back to PR.

Yes, but even with cruise control, you still have to steer.
