dogtags are the prize you get for knifing people. Say, you are proned, and i knife you, i get your dogtags.

those dogtags go into my stats, and you can check them later.

So dogtags are like, a concentrated source of indicating how many times you've killed me like the victims list here in BF2S? Or is it specifically for knifing?

As far as I am concerned, it caters to those who think knifing is the ultimate skill.

Funny little feature, I'll admit it, but totally useless from a gameplay point of view.

I am touched...

Nevertheless, I am looking forward to the teamplay aspect of 2142. And if I am lucky enough, I'll get to play with you guys. Haven't played with Kilroy for ages.

I was just thinking the same way... but then again, if dogtags are what determine a person's 'skill' then sure... dogtags all the way. As for me, I'd only want dogtags to pretend I was The Predator. All I need is that crazy alien warcry he does and I'd be set! "WAAAAAAAGH!!!"

Sure thing! I hope to see you guys on the 2142 battlefield as well for some awesome teamwork gameplay if time and chance suffice.

I'd want the tags just for the fun value of knowing, hey, I knifed that guy that has a really high rank! (or something to that effect)

well congrats then, dear sir.

It was by no means my intention to critizise your affiliation to the one-bladed monster.

Can't wait to get my beta key and scrim with you guys online.

Well, I don't know if I would measure a person's skill by the number of knife kills he has.

As far as the war dance is concerned, if you register for the BF2142 veteran's program, EA tells you they will grant you access to a special "taunt" that you can administer to players you just owned...

Can't wait to see what that taunt will be. Maybe a real War dance, or some cool hand gesture.
Or a logo that can be sprayed, like in CS.

Way cool would be an audio file that you can play ( and edit yourself, of course ).

booyaa !

EDIT: sorry, I need to correct myself. After reading the EA veteran's program site once again, it occured to me that the Vet's will be granted a special verbal taunt for use in BF2....ROFLCAKES

a dream has come true. Finally, we'll be able to humiliate fallen enemies like they deserve.../sarcasm

I wonder what that "verbal taunt" will be like.

Suggestions:

"Dude, you suck. Go play pong."
" Ouch. That's gotta hurt."
"Who's your daddy, huh ?!?!"

I think the taunt should be along the lines of "... your mother was a Hamster, and your father smelled of eldenberry bush!"

As to the Dance, it already exists (search "teabag" in the forum to see what I mean)
Although, it would be fun as hell to be able to Moon the enemy. That little extra pwn to the PKM that is 2 ft from you, and can't hit you on full auto.

Maybe I'm just twisted from all the 1.3 CTD lately.

IMO the buddy list is the greatest improvement to team play!
Don't you think?
That way i can always find people who work in a team.

Why are you in that list? Got owned by yourself? But seriously why?

Im wondering on the effects of emp grenades on stuff. If it merely disables vehicles for a short amount of time, that would be boring. But if it affects things like sentry drones, active camo, spawn beacon, even the electronics that affect gun rate-of-fire, then woot! I'll know what class I want to be using.

:cough: emp affects everything including soldier UI:cough:

i said nothing...

and in response to

you view your dogtags by going to the weapons leaderboard and filtering for dog tags, thus you will show up on the list

if you are playing a medic variant of assault you can get the paddies at your first rank up which is like 40 points, i dont see what people are complaining about.

It is kinda lame that alot of the unlocks are previously introduced equipment though. So when they say 40 unlocks they really only mean 5-6 cool ones and the rest are just required equipment or worthless (see: sniper unlocks)

This game will be so cool.
first item i will unlock is AED-6 Defibrillator
or Lambert Carbine - RECON

this game is somust beter than bf2
20+ unlocks
thats so cool
in bf2 u only got 14 unlock, and there all wapons
and i think there will be a lot more items and wapons to unlock if there will make a Expantion Pack
there are 15 maps that is so cool

this will be the best online game ever, even beter than counter strike
I agree. But you can't unlock the Lambert Carbine rifle as your first unlock. You'll have to unlock the explosives and the camouflage before you can get another recon main weapon. That actually goes for all classes, that you have to get some equipment first, to get to the juicy weapons later. Don't worry though, It'll take you only an hour(+) to get the 2-3 first unlocks.

If this has already been asked, I apologize, but I didnt find it in a search.

In 2142, is there any indication that they will have any unlocks similar to what is in SF.

Grappling hooks, Zips, Tear Gas, Flash etc.??

Those things are the reason I have converted to SF.
