Battlefield 2142 servers

Just getting "CONTACTING EA MASTER SERVER" at the moment which eventually tells me it can't connect and gives the option for offline play.

This is the first time I'm starting the game as I only just got the CD-key sorted out with EA. Is it down or is there something wrong with my account/PC?

Thanks,
Craig.

Yup, it's allowed through my firewall (I've tried with it closed as well).

Manual PunkBuster update didn't work unfortunately :(

I really enjoy both games and would play both a lot online if I had a decent internet connection. We live too far away from the exchange & the lines are all 'rotten' so the max we connect at is 700Kbps, the connection maxes out at about 55KB/s - this shared between three people who all love YouTube and other media/download websites just makes them unplayable online apart from at night when everyone else is in bed.

I love Titan mode as well, fun fun :)

Single player it is for me - still fun :)

Get yourself searching through here mate. Sure a solutions is around for you!

Titan mode is good and adds a new dimension to the conquest maps.

Too many ppl cuss 2142 because they played a lot of BF2. Open your eyes, a lot of the gameplay issues of BF" have been fixed and work a lot better on 2142 i.e. hitboxes for one!

BACK ON TOPIC - Are you on Vista? If so try running as administrator, could help

All working now, it was a firewall issue after all. My firewall had somehow blocked BF2142 even though I made sure I clicked allow & that block rule stayed in effect even when I ended the firewall service :(

Had to run in admin mode for Punkbuster else I got kicked from all games just after the start :rolleyes:

Titan mode rocked until everyone realized they could just chuck down a couple of ammo kits and then spam grenades into the choke points forever, made it basically impossible to get inside.
 
yeah it doesnt make it easy! Bear in mind this tactic though.

If corridors 1 or 3 are defended heavily, 13 shots from a pilum on the shields for corridors 3 or 4 will cause the console in the corridor below to blow thus there is a way arounmd heavy nade spamming.

Its not an expolit and DICe have commented on this also. Its simply upto the server host to decide if they want to consider it an exploit or not.

Corridors 3 & 4 dont need to be entered into to destroy the core as a good set of nades can be vbounced off the wall to cause damage to the console.
