bf2142 never really appealed to me when i was playing bf2 but i decided to give it a go. i am so glad i did, i prefer bf2142, some of the matches were superb, to this very day i miss playing it and hope to find my copy somewhere to reinstall.
i only wish that the new games that are being release would have multiplayer on the same scale without the need for things such as 8 player teams, which imo has spoilt the battlefield series and become more of a cod type game.
