Ok, I'm one of the lucky few (12000) who got a key today. I did download the game and activate the game a couple of hour ago. I played 3 rounds, and nothing in this game is appealing to me.

Pro's:
         Good graphics overall
         Smooth game play

Con's:
         Lost the Battlefield flavor...(Too much futuristic)
         Too many gadget,vehicles and Mech (controls)...that is copy and paste from BF2

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...

(you don't need to agree with me...this is what I think about the game)
SMOOTH GAME PLAY?, I turned my fucking settings to as low as they can go and I still don't get smooth gameplay. I can play Bf2 with medium/low settings.... I can't even fucking play 2142 without it lagging or ctd randomly during a game. Completely fucked up game, has no resemblance to the BF feel of being able to conquer everything. The thought of making a defib an unlock was by far the most fucked up thing ever, now there's even less teamwork without the reviving. Another thing is the Sniper rifles. Don't get me wrong, i like the scope movement, but never have a i played a game where the scope moves up and down like 5 inchs when the guy is inhaling and exhaling, totally over done. Plus, if u move the rifle while the character is breathing inscope, the gameplay becomes choppy until u zoom out.
could that be you just had gone in a bad server?

Im not a big fan either. yes, yes, its a BETA. but it just doesnt have that flavor to it. My friend told me that BF2 was awesome. I bought it not knowing a thing about it and was hooked in a few hours....with 2142....even though a BETA, doesnt seem to have the hooks BF2 had....

I pre-ordered a copy anyway...but so far its just lacking....... if BF2142 came out without BF2 ever existing, it would be awesome. But the simple truth is 2142 is the non-linear sequel to BF2, and its just not an entire new game, its like a mod (Which has been said numerous times on BF2s). I think ive been turned off by the constant crashes to desktop (once again, only a BETA).

Ill give the official store release 50 hours or so, if im not addicted by then.... it goes into my dusty games archives...

People should consider themselves lucky. Cos where i'm from, not 1 got the beta

Kinda reminds me of spoilt brats actually. People this is why its a B-E-T-A! In other words, not the final product.
Think the 1st Ferrari was a beauty? Abso-f*cking-lutely not. But with healthy criticism, look today...

Thats why EA will look thru these forums (hopefully) and see what has problems. From there they (hopefully) will adjust as necessary.

Sure 2142 is still a long way from being good. But was BF2 this good as a BETA? well we don't know,
but i'm sure it also had a sh!t load of bugs, just like 2142's BETA has.

Now please. Stop trying to put people off a game that hasn't reached its finished product.
and no, i don't work for EA, just these days everyone is constantly BITCHING and MOANING.

And then he gets a wall of text telling him to shut the fuck up!

Its going to have problems,but when it comes out.Some will continue with bf2 some 2142 or like me you will enjoy both.

I really do hate all the bitching about the bugs and the CTD's and stuff, and then reasoning that because of that you won't be trying the full release game. I'm sure (read: hope) that the bugs will get ironed out before full release, no need to freak out about it right now and give 2142 a bad game.

And yes the game play will change a bit (like droppods, hit points, support class, etc) while they try and balance the game better. They don't want to do the same deal with BF2 where we started out with the noob-tubing, bunny-hopping, prone spamming, dolphin diving, c4 chucking lameness, and only after a few patches did they strike a good game play balance.

It's funny though how the people that get pissed off the most about these fixes are the only ones that are vocal enough to voice their opinion on forums. Makes it seem like everyone hates the changes when this is not the case. The rest of the game players seem pretty content with most of these fixes.

I can hold my rifle steady as a rock while lying down. Crouching I can hold it relatively steady but I get tired too quick from the crouch. Standing up, well I don't even bother because yes it is very wobbly. This is what they should adhere to in the game.

That's the one thing I won't forgive them for: if they don't fix the recon class. The "wobbling" is just plain stupid while prone. Every other game in exsitance gives you a steady shot once you go prone, but BF2142 decided to deviate from this. And yes the zooming in is still buggy. If they don't get it fixed I'm gonna be pissed.

True.

I'v been beta-testing (it involves testing and posting bugs etc. on the offical beta forum, not trying to play it and bitchin' about the bugs) since BETA 1. I really had more fun testing it than playing BF2. Please, if you are playing, not testing, give your key to someone who's going to help us own a game with less problems than BF2. Some people prefer modern day combat, others prefer futuristic conflicts. I prefer both.

ps.: still downloading PoE2, but getting great reviews about it. Looks nice.

"Fuck its a beta". BF2 has been out over a year and still has tons of bugs. Those who think 2142 will change from the beta are on something.

BTW where is 1.4? 2142 being fixed in a month. lolz DICE cant get a patch out in 4 months to fix a CTD.

Well, there was no BETA for BF2, hence = full of bugs. We've been bitchin' in the forums about BF2 and its bugs everyday for the past year. Maybe they've learned something. Who knows...

but it's not realistic wobble at all, you would think going prone would reduce the amount of wobble but it doesnt, i like the way you can measure the targets with the scope though, nice feature.

Ummm..last time I checked its not 2142 yet, we have 136 yrs to go. In other words didn't say realism - Speaking of which for the longer sniper rifles use a tripod for that reason...jeez nevermind...dont' start this realism bullshit on a freaking game.

What do you mean by this?  If anything, 2142's Titan mode is far more linear than BF2's conquest.  I don't think you're using the term "linear" appropriately.

LOL.  Going prone equals instant death for most kits.  In order for prone to be usefull, you have to have been prone for at least 20 seconds for your crosshairs to re-align.

I played the closed Beta, what I liked was the way teamwork is rewarded with extra points and the field unlocks that you get for just the round because of teamwork points - this gave working in a team further purpose,  pretty clever. I also liked the knife/tags touch. But, to be honest I hated the game, not my thnig at all, I didn't even bother downloading the new open beta, & I don't think i'll buy the game either, I much prefare BF2..

I love it. I would have trouble going back to BF2. I love the idea. Remember, people, this is still a BETA. Betas tend to have problems becuase the developer is still ironing out some details. Don't abandon it until you know what you're going to get. Wait a while. I can understand if you don't like scifi; I'm totally understanding. But those people who bitch because it lags/CTD's/glitches need to let it go for now and come back to it.

I think EA has a good idea going here. Be patient and let EA/Dice do their thing

So help me, if they screw this game up I will go insane. I finally find a game that caters to my preferences (realistic scifi games) and I don't want this to go down the hole.

I will believe it when I see it.

BTW I have reserved the game. As much as I hate BF2 and it's bugs I still love the game.

I think it's good, when I first tried I thought it was crap closed it down and played BF2 got bored of BF2 and opened it back up again and played for a few hours, it's great. Even better when both of the commander bring the titan's side by side.
