Not much to say really. I was quite shocked reading the news. I thought EA had abandoned BF2+2142. But here it is. A 1.5 patch announcement

http://www.battlefield.ea.com/battlefie … ryid=22342

Now we just have to wait for a BF2 one .

2142's gameplay is better balanced.

BF2 is older, more popular, and actually has better gameplay if you are well rounded in skills.  The only people that bitch about balance are the ones that whored karkand for 2 years then suddenly decided to try wake.

2142's infantry is done better. I like BF2 and all, but speaking of weapon\class balance 2142 is far better. And movement and it's effects on accuracy/deviation are very well balanced.

I'm not one of them. Anyways, you won't listen to me, but still - most of BF2's 64 player maps can be easily whored by air units, while in 2142 ground vehicles atleast have chances to score some kills before they will be burned by gunships.

I agree that 2142 is better balanced. Especially on the large vehicle maps.

I wouldn't completely count out a BF2 patch you know people. I know the idea is a little far fetched, but read this. A post on the EAUK forums that was posted a month ago.

The Live team right now consists of 4 producers/designers (one for each game) and a programmer. We hope to have some great news for all Battlefield 2 & 2142 fans in a couple of weeks.
(http://forums.electronicarts.co.uk/batt … -live.html)

This may just be the 2142 part of the good news. Of course, there have been servers showing up in the past few days running Bf2 maps. Some think they may be porting Bf2 over to it for some reason. So they can patch both at once. Sounds a little far fetched to me. I think they're just servers that run both games at different times and show up on the 2142 server browser running Bf2 maps.

Hopefully it will fix some of the CTD's and freezes I keep getting, I reinstall and after a few days it does it again.

A BF2 game, despite what is thought, is a whole team effort.  If your Mobile AA/jets are not doing their job taking out enemy jets/choppers, your ground units get consequently raped.  Air whores cant capture flags, so your ground units need to be fast, yet effective.  In a organized team/squad setup, you would be surprised how good a round can be.  In 2142 too often i find myself going rambo on a whole squad+tank as infantry on suez and coming out on top.  Maybe it has to do with the fact i can podsurf behind them and take the tank out with no fight, but there is no such luxury in 2.  Also, if you are talking about infantry balance in 2142, i have 2 words for you: Voss whores.  And i thought the G36E was bad...

Swap 2142 with 2 and gunships with planes and you get the same result.  I can tell you are not a smart tank driver from that quote alone.

Podsurfing...one of the most annoying exploits in Battlefield series. I never podsurf.

Yeah, Voss is gay, but not as gay as G36E.

Not a tanker at all. I prefer tanks in black&white view, with a crosshair in the middle of the screen.

I hope if they add an extra team, it's something like a Union of African States.  Also, I hope they improve the graphics.

*wheeze*

AHAHAHAHAHAHA

They'd charge money if they were going to add a new faction, and upgrading graphics is practically impossible without upgrading the game engine.

Well its real for sure, its a topic on Combat testing forum so guess they will have a beta testing there soon. The group doesn't seems to have open spot either.

They obviously just haven't bothered updating the 2142 section.

You have to learn the rules of the game and then you have to play better than anyone else.

If it was an exploit it would have been removed, cry moar.

Dont bs me, if you put a voss into a BF2 game it would rape everything, not so much if the G36E was in 2142.

They tried removing it. They just suck at programming. It was even in the changelog for 1.4. It is an exploit.

The thing is though, if you put the Krylov in BF2 it would rape everything. The assault rifles in 2142 have so little deviation that you can fire most of them at full auto and still hit people. The Voss, while having a large mag, isn't that much better than anything else in the game.

New content... hmm, you guys got any suggestions/predictions?

- 2 New Maps: Strike at Karkand and Wake Island 2143.
- 4 New Weapons and Awards (same as NS, get the awards to get the unlock).
- Futuristic jets to accompany Wake Island. These jets will also be intergrated into Titan Mode.
- Voss ammo has decreased from 40 to 30.

The Voss isn't even overpowered, worst AR now that they beefed up the SCAR imo. The Voss is the least accurate, tied with the Lambert for least damage, but the Lambert has almost zero recoil so you get more hits in.

The Voss is at a disadvantage versus the other ARs unless there are like five guys all closely grouped together at close range.

If that was true then why does half my team use it?

bf2 is an awesome game, but i play 2142 more often as most of the players have all the unlocks and play more as a team instead of going for medals and badges, really surprised there is a 1.5 patch tbh
