These are only some of the stuff that is on my mind...and that I can discuss.
I'm going to play BF2 tonight and let BF2142 sit in my PC till it die Sept.12th...

Me too! I like the game, even though its a rough beta, it's a hoot. Engineer class is my favorite as well, it's so versatile.{uscm}Jyden wrote:
I have been playing it for the last three hours,and i like it!
Ok so its not BF2,bf2 has a certain feel about it that would be very hard to beat IMO.
I can see myself playing both of them for a while longer still.
Favorite class is the engineer,loving the ubertube lol.
I think also if when we get different maps when it comes out it will make a big difference to the overall game.
On the down side:There are alot of gadgets that you get,Some are really good,and the others are just confsing as you don't know when to use them lol.
Flying is cool too...once you get the hang of it, they fly fast and turn quickly making for some bitchin dog fights.
2142 seems like natural progression in the BF series to me.
Not all will like it.Too bad, so sad...for them.
A defrib as an unlock? What the hell? Such nice engines get waisted. Ea should get some pointers from POE2 makersWolfren wrote:

Well I think they ruined it when they made the pods only go 10 feet in the fucking air unless you're near a titan..
Well said... I wouldn't mind waiting for them to release the game until all/most of the bugs are removed. I could keep playing beta after beta, each one changing playability aspects and making the game balanced for final release. They can add a few maps in the process to keep us happy. Think of it as EA's service to the gaming community. I would have absolutelly no problem with that .Tyferra wrote:
I find it a lot of fun. Of course there is a shit load of cut-and-paste from BF2 - you notice a glitch where teammates rank symbols switch to the symbols from BF2 for example.
It's still got potential. As long as they iron out the bugs, of which there are plenty.
You know, that sounds JUST like BF2, but without paying those $50 bucks at the beginning...
Haha, well I knew that was gonna get nerfed when I would constantly chose to pod from silo to silo instead of any other transportation method. It was fun when I did it, but I hated that when their team had only 1 silo they would just drop-pod to any silo they wanted and it was hard to engage them. It was the equivalent of having a BH at 500ft in BF2 and spawning in it, then flying over to any flag of your chosing.Dressed In Decay wrote:

I've been saying for weeks now; if I wanted to play some futuristic alien bullshit, I'd play Unreal Tournament. 2142 will flop. No doubt. You can quote me on that one.
Yes, we all know how good they are at "ironing" out bugs.Tyferra wrote:

Thank goodness someone is buying for me or I would have never tried it, BF2 ftw!
the hitboxes are fucked up yes, but i believe that dice would fix that soon. of course 2142 is way different from bf2... its a new game... for me its a shit load of fun, more teamwork involved.
i get really smooth gameplay, 70fps on all high 4XAA and 8X AF
core 2 duo E6600 oced to 3.150ghz
350fsb
7900gt
2gb ddr2 memory
get a conroe... bf2142 will run very smoothly, since its a beta its very unoptimized

Give me Modern day weapons over made up shit.
Tank with tracks take way too much damage from just driving and that hover tank whos bright idea was that, what a pain to line up shots with it.
The guns feel well weak up to BF2 guns, AK47 for me please.
It seems to take ages for the red tag to appear above enemys heads and vehicles.
Flying isnt fun.
GOOD POINTS
The Dogtag Idea works really well.
The buddy system
Errrr thats it.
Still its only a beta, so you never know, Dice might pull a great game out bag and get away from the mess it is now.
It doesnt improve over BF2 in anyway really, apart for graphics.
To finish I just love how 2142 has Patch 1.3 Conenction problem, you can see the the future already.
If you don't like it don't buy it
go shoot with your AK-47 and stop bitchin'
I personally like the teamplay oriented idea for the game!
Looking forward to it 'cause i'm a teamwork whore!
I agree..I got my key last night and ive played it for about 3 hours.
Wow..
To be honest I really didnt like it at all. I suppose it might grow on me..but im going to be in the Navy by the time it comes out so no bother.

This is BETA No. 2.
BETA No. 1 was a little better. . .
This BETA version SUCKS and; it = nerfed SUCKS.
The graphics a little bit improved. . . the rest of the changes stinko:
1.) Tanks rattle to pieces over bumpy terrain - what a stupid idea.
2.) 1 SHOT from the back and a TANK is DEAD.
3.) 2 SHOTS anywhere near the side and a TANK is DEAD.
4.) Many vehicles have some stupid vertical scan blur that scrolls down to simulate a digital image scan = annoying.
5.) POD blasting across the map was FUN; they NERFED it = same as it ever was = DICE has no concept of how to handle their own digital code creations. You don't nerf what you create instead you create counter measures.
6.) The Titans when moved create unplayable LAG. This is a major issue; some servers simply crash when both are moved at the same time. They should not be moveable - period the LAG issue is to great; they should instead be stationary; the commander should have a choice where the titan will un-cloak for battlefield position on his half of the map - if no choice is made within a certain time limit a default position is used. The weapons from the titan can kill shit (infantry) dead now. . . stupid. They should make the Titan a stationary uncloaked battlefield position - replace its weapons with its original ones (and given them better range and sight maneuverability); this would eliminate lag; give the commander a position option; and make the weapons on the Titan usable and fair. Also if the Titans did not move it would eliminate the two major player glitching schemes: into the core; and on your Titans ONE spawn point deck.
7.) The Talon/Dragon blow-up so fast it is retarded. And the missiles have a ZERO blast radius/only direct hits equal damage.
8.) The hit box for the knife is huge = STUPID. I've watched people knife other people and it looks stupid. One guy has a machine gun and is stepping backward firing bullets into a guy 6 feet away - he (the guy with knife) lunges and waves his knife and is about 2 feet away connects with air and the guy with the gun falls over dead. This is so stupid and it's so easy; to easy; ME who never uses the knife; got 25 knife kills in a few rounds.
9.) The Titans have a glitch were an enemy can glitch through the force field (when the Titan moves); then a SQUAD can spawn on your deck and spawn kill you; anyone who spawns on the titans ONE spawn point; and attack your Titan freely with NO opposition on the other side.
10.) All of the vehicles are weak; you EMP any vehicle; one or two shots latter; that temporarily unmovable vehicle become permanently blowed-ed-uped-ed! POW! STUPID! WEAK! NERFED!
11.) IF filling a player with lead from the back and seeing a massive number of hits register and then the guy stands up turns around and with one little burst of "pfft" you fall over dead, in BF2, was to your liking – you'll like 2142; it’s the same.
12.) The players tags TAKE to long to appear as friendly or foe; when sighted. At a distance every player's uniform looks almost the same at a fast glance; and anyone in a vehicle is unknown. We need to know if a vehicle is friend or foe as soon as we sight/spot it.
The FIRST Beta had me intrigued; the second beta has me worried; it's more of the same senseless DICE tweaking and nerfing and never really addressing play issues and bugs. Its simple fix the bugs and glitches FIRST. Then address play issues with counter measures. And if you want to make newbie players happy give them something to do that equals REAL points towards unlocks and ranks. Make the engineer repair actually get points for real teamwork; if he fixes one team occupied vehicle = ZERO points, but if he repairs 3 different ones, give him a +4 teamwork bonus (stuff like that / real teamwork encouragement). The talk about teamwork in BF2/2142, by DICE, is bullshit. The reality is either disparate players from anywhere trying to have FUN online or BASE raping VEHICLE hording CLANS that suck to play against when you're just alone online trying to have fun. ALL MAIN BASES SHOULD NOT BE RAPE-ABLE get it DICE!

For those that dont like the beta Ill be glad to take your key

didnt mind the futuristic stuff at least something different but the movement of the players feel really sluggish(not lag related) its just like they putted all the prone and bunny nerfs all together to 1 super nerf i mean still fast action overall but yourself cant move tht fast IMO.

All of you that dont want it.. SO BE IT. thats another thing i like about it, people wont go. " WAHH THE BLASTER CANNON IS TOO CRAPPY THEN IN REAL LIFE"
Of cource it is kind of annoying how people find it "stupid and boring" even know they havent ever played it...
Of cource it is kind of annoying how people find it "stupid and boring" even know they havent ever played it...
To each his (or her) own. Some may like it. Some don't. Isn't that great about being able to have our own opinions? I for one like BF2142, and playing the beta makes me want it even more.
i find the game great while in game not that much lag but i am having connection probs all the time i havent even finished a round yet..
to futuristic for me...
I believe BF2142 is a great game, too bad its not modern combat. BF2 was a developmental step to BF2142 engine, don't worry as in BF1942 there will be a modern combat mod. 2142 is a better developed game than BF2, I find it more fun when the game works better.
After playing almost 6 hrs of this BETA I can actually get in EA's concept of how a game like BF2 should move forward into the future...lets say 2142. My take on this game is that its geared more towards the "younger generation"; as I really don't care for it. One thing is for sure the Crash To Desktops are still there along with the constant server crashes.
Pros:
Unlocks Galore, can we say 40 unlocks!!
Rank Up Fast.
Weapons
Walker
Pods, Pods and more Pods
Camo
Titanmode is awesome
Cons:
No parachute!?
Hitpoints are ridiculous
Everyone is running around with a knife...
Vehicles don't last long.
Someone call Medic? becuase by the time he gets to you you're dead.
Sniper is a joke, better off unlocking the Carbine after 4 rank ups. Sniper has the "breathing" pixel, can't keep the thing still.
Control of the hover tank is actually funny.
Commander role is non-existant, all you get is points for the win, nothing more entertainment than that.
Have to get silos to take down shields on Titan...no one wants to play on the ground, they'd rather fight on the Titan.
The Pistol.
For a futuristic game I thought that it would be more stable in every facet. Like the sniper, I can see the 'breathing' but its alot harder to control and the zoom is like the SVD, you would think you'd have two zooms like a 10x and a 50x in the future. As I figured everyone is Recon, you don't see many support or engineer players, you don't need them..I only played one map, so I HOPE the other maps there is something better, something to do. Movement is fast, I am not used to it.
Among alot of flaws with 2142, I can tell you people are Podding everywhere. Camo is the vehicles worst nightmare. Unlocks galore, but be careful, you have to choose your kit and stick with it to get all the goodies, no more multi-kits, some of the unlocks are rather cool. For the people that think theres gonna be a Karkand or statpadding, think again, its not going to happen unless its a K/P server. Dogtags are taking the 2142 scene over. The gameplay is actually skillful, and takes definate teamwork, if you think you are going to go this alone, you are an idiot. I see massive nade spamming on the Titan once people unlock the nades, because the ammo can be upgraded to supply faster.. I don't see people getting high scores either, I've been playing for 2 weeks and the highest I've ever saw was 48 on a 32 size map -hopefully more kills on a 64!
Will I continue to play 2142? Well I am more attuned to BF2. 2142 I will buy and play but wont be too involved in it, if someone kills me 500 times and knifes me 800 times I would care less, this game makes me laugh, its one of those "oh my goodness, whatever" games. I'll tell you this, I am ONLY going to play this game for the unlocks, nothing more. Because in my opinion thats the ONLY thing that is cool about this game - the unlocks.
