A Battlefield 2142 thread

blah blah blah blah blah blah........... highly improved visuals,
but it's also much more stable. The code is naturally better because it's been worked on for so long. The server browser is 600% faster, UI navigation is easier, connecting will be a one-screen process....

HAHAHAHAH .... haha .. MWAHAHAHAHA ! riiiiiight

And it happened to tons of people in the beta for no reason, as far as im aware it also hapens to loads of people in bf2 for no reason...still. Same engine same year old + bugs, what a suprise.

hehe, have a cookie good sir ;p

thats not actually my pic, i aquired that from another site...

ive just had about 20mins on the new map, and well, i hate it .
this is a bf2142 thread and thats my opinion before the anti-bf2142-bashing-police brigade turn up !!! haha

the game is lifeless and no fun to play, its never given me that ' just one more go ' factor and prob never will ...
 
I know im gonna love this game as i really enjoyed bf2 and i dont care really if its a mod that you gotta pay for cause ive done that with css and dods, its only money.

For someone whos into bf2 i dont know much about this game apart from screen shots and videos. Im gonna have a good read at the links the OP left there so my scrotum juices start to drool :)
 
In regards to the EA Downloader; if you're stupid enough to want to pay more for a few days, then so be it. If i were EA or worked for EA, i'd cash in on all the idiots without no hesitation at all. :)
 
After a couple of hours of playing reached the following conclusion:

vehicle combat = fun

infantry combat = as crap as ever

Yet another case of the tired bf2 mantra of "he who prones first wins" in infantry battles. Sorry had enough of that crap in bf2, not gonna spend another 35 quid on another game with a lame exploit dice can't be arsed fixing.

How would they go about fixing this exploit?

Make going to prone a lot slower? Games like dod have had prone in them for years..actually thinking about dod was one of the first to incorperate proning and its never abused the way it is in the bf games because you take a bit of time to get into the prone position. Pull the bf crap in dod and you'd lose practically every time.
 
Exploit?

What planet are you on? If you're being shot and you have the option of going prone you're not going to stand there waving your arms in the air are you!?!?

FPS games are all about accuracy, tactics and reaction times. Going prone is common sense to minimise your footprint and the quicker you're able to acheive this the better. How you can call it an "exploit" is beyond me.

After all if you have a problem with people using the prone position I'm sure the HL2 series will cater for your needs. You may well quote DOD but the BF series as a whole, all incorperating prone, have been much much more popular than DOD.

:rolleyes:

Do you even play the battlefield series? Proning has damn all to do with being shot at, it has more to do with the fact thats ALL infantry do in the game and its ends up thats all they do regardless of range. In close being the worst offender as all they do is drop prone, hold in the fire button and more times than not you're gonna be dispatched in short order.

Judging from the tone of your post you're one of the many who do it constantly, then agian with pc gaming online it doesn't suprise me, seems to be after a while the cheap way of playing becomes the "proper" way of playing.

The vid that was posted a while back with a dice rep had a guy form a clan pointing at the fact that the only thing seperating the good clans from the best was the fact that many "top" clans abused the prone feature more than the others. The dice rep responded by saying they were addressing the issue with more bulet deviation, so obviously it was an issue that needed addressing, just seems they havn't done enough to nulify it properly yet.

Has anyone else pre-ordered this game?

Some good sites to look at:

and

[URL=http://www.totalbf2142.com/]totalbf2142.com[/URL][/QUOTE]

I'm very tempted as I loved BF2, never got round to buying the full game though (might when I get my motherboard back though!).

Gonna download the demo first and might pre-order if I like it :D
