Battlefield 2142

[kiwi_2005]

Wow everywhere i go i get more posters bagging this game than praiseing it. Ive had this game for only a day now, and updated with patch 1.01 which was only a fix for the mech, have played this game - only on single player as im not yet on broadband, been over my sons and seen it being played fully online with everything up high in the graphics, and this game looks and plays brilliant. This is a great game why is everyone bagging it - anyone here played it? What ive notice is your stats are easier to lvl up, or kill an opponent with your knive rewards you with his dog tags - the furturistic weapons take a bit getting use to, the mechs rock yet do not rein supreme my first try out online was to jump in a mech and rule the map only to be taken out very quickly :lol: Is it because this game is really a mod with new skins, units, & maps, running on the same engine. Take a look in the BF2142 folder its the same as BF2 and ya will need a pretty decent PC to run it on high settings but its worth it. Its a great game!

Yet be free to say if you think it sucks and the reasons why.

Just a warning to players "Commander hack" is already out for this game :nope: Commander hack still is used in BF2, no surprises its being used in BF2142 - Cheaters! what this hack does is make you look a friendly to everyone when in the map you can go on anyside and kill them - if you find yourself getting killed then revived repeatedly ( they do this to get their stats up quickly) its not a bug but more than likely the player is using commander hack. AI weapons like missles wont lock on to him & hes invisible to bullets, reload weaps is instant. EA have said if you come across this, to take a screen shot and note the players name then send so they can ban these cheaters. Cheat in single player yes, but not online!:nope:

I play it and have more fun with it than with the other BF game.:rock:

3 x 14hrs downloads and 2 x 'The files seems to be corrupt, please download them again' messages later, I finally got it installed. I´m a veteran of the BF series, so I found it nice that the actual gameplay havents changed too much. Tho, the game seems to be more 'noob' friendly now. I get tons of points in the end of the round. Been playing for only a few hours total and I already have ~700points. In BF2 it would took me ~35 20pts rounds to get that score. In BF2142, only about 20 rounds was enough.

The patch that was released was for the Titan gamemode, not for mechs. In Titan mode there were some stability issues, that the patch fixed.

The game sure feels more arcade compared to BF2, I dont know why. Might be the weapons, that feel so 'arcade'. Yesterday, I started a server to seek out some weak spots on those damned walkers and just a hint: Shoot them to the balls, that hurts! :rotfl:

Hopefully EA gets the master servers working soon, I´m still short of few gold & silver medals. Alot of pins and some points.

Anyways, I will be keeping my copy of BF2 installed, the 2142´s atmosphere is so much different.

It´s good that the teamwork points are in, now people actually play in teams. Yesterday, one 6 men squad hold out the whole PAC team for quite some time. Meanwhile, other squads made HALO drops behind their forces and took the flags. That was great! :up:

Having been on the "Offical" beta test team for BF2142...all i can say is, i play BF1942 enough said :down:

[kiwi_2005]

The sniper rifle is to weak, the support machine gun is to powerful, the offroaders are too blardy fast that i end up just going for joyrides round the map:lol: lots of fun.

[Dowly]

Dang! I hate the new unlock system!! Now, I ended up using only the recon class with the Lambert carbine unlock! Tons of kills! Next on my list, AT rifle for engineer.

Also, I cant believe how easy it is to get points in BF2142! I got the game on last weekend and I already almost 2000 points!

Yeah, i know what ya mean with the unlock system, im thinking of starting again under new name cause i dont like the weapon unlocks i chose. And I agree in a previous post it is a bit noobish especially the way the weapons target with the triangle. But man do i love stomping around in those Mechs :arrgh!:

If you ever happen to see man shaped air move around when you are on mech, dont worry, it´s just me coming to plant RDX on your balls with active camo on. :rotfl:

Alot of people would say that BF2 & BF2142 are basically the same game with different graphics. That´s partly true, but the BF2142 is more teamwork oriented than BF2. In BF2 you got 2 points from a kill, in 2142 you only get 1, so that eliminates all the snipers that just want to get points. Also, the 2142 is much more fast-paced IMO than BF2.

And different time settings. Thats why i want both. :know:

This is really good news. I love teamplay games, but most people are not. It seems like they don't give a damn for Teamwork and rather want to bump idiotic statistics. :shifty:

Also, the 2142 is much more fast-paced IMO than BF2.

Well, it's placed in the future. I expected something like this.

[Dowly]

Too bad that most BF2142 players dont know that if you kill someone in the point where your squadleader has ordered you to attack, you get 1 extra point. So, in attack/defend areas you get 2 points for a kill. Also, the squadleader gets points when the squad do what he orders.

[Pants]

I hate the road that the BF series is going down, i personally dont like futuristic games the only one's i do like is WH 40K, MW4 and freelancer,i dont like the reward system(unlocks,medals) having played BF2 online i have had the pleasure of playing against some real idiots, can't stand this whole my D**K is bigger than yours attitude, i actually had someone say to me "I'm a highter rank than you so DO as i say" Big Whoop..the only reason i dont have a better rank is..I HATE VANILLA.....i only play on modded servers,the first online game i played of BF2 i had a team mate fly his BlackHawk into my Bradley, he killed us both but i got the TK he then voted to kick me for TK'ing..and i got kicked.:down:
I had big hopes for BF2142 only to see them dashed :cry:

[SUBMAN1]

So how is the SPyware in this game? They pay attention to what billboards you look at and then do targetted advertising on you. That is complete BS.

Of course you are probably going into a database so that they can relay this information and sell it across the world. Uggh!!

-S

[kiwi_2005]

yeah i was told the update patch 1.1 has spyware in it. Still that aint going to stop ppl playing it. Alot of uber BF2 players are switching over, you can tell whos the veterans BF2 players as they usually totally own you:D

[NeonSamurai]

Honestly i havent been happy with the battlefield series since 1942. My main reason is they made the game entirely online (especialy with unlocks). I am sick to death of online play other then doing ladders in a guild vs other professional guilds.

Pick up/open games suck, between the cheaters, the exploiters and the general **** ***** that ive had the misfortune to deal with over the years have pretty much driven me away from most online games. Unfortunatly BF has been continualy shrinking the ability to play coop (which sucks for practicing if your in a ladder guild), or play solo offline. BF2 (before modding) and even more so BF2142 (which comes with like 6 small maps that can be used for single player) has progressivly been getting worse and worse for those who like the game but dont wana deal with online because of the idiots.

[Dowly]

@Kiwi

Actually, the 'spyware' is there in the retail game. My friend bought the DVD and there was a piece of paper in it that told about it. (I got my game from the EA downloader)

@Subman1

There are places in every map that will be used for ad´s. But honestly there isnt much of them. Few billboards on the side of the roads etc. There isnt any ad´s yet, but soon there will be. IMO, in somekind of way it adds to the immersion to the game. Seeing real life ad´s while you fight, instead of those "THE EU FORCE WANTS YOU!".

[NeonSamurai]

I dunno if seeing coca cola, car, and viagra ads in a futuristic near apocalyptic world makes it more imersive ;)

There´s already fictional ads on the billboards, so wont be a big change if they are real ads instead. Tho, a viagra ad next to a missile silo that´s just shooting a missile would be a bit too much. :rotfl:

[kiwi_2005]

Oh man i was in fits of laughter last nite, was at my sons house watching him play BF2142 and waiting patiently for him to give me a go:lol::roll: I just realise somewhere during his childhood i must of stuffed up, as he hates losing:rotfl: Their he was in a conquest map (fall of berlin) top of the list in the last 3 matches, feeling good, full of confidence, showing dad hows it done when this uber soldier comes on and kills rick with the knife 4 times in a row:rotfl: Rick was his target as this guy only came for him while ignoring everyone else, i presume cos rick was top of the list he was this guys number 1 enemy and boy did he show him how its done - as you's would know getting killed with the knife is OWNAGE. Next thing i saw a different rick not the one im use to seeing. For the next 2 hrs rick and this guy slugged it out, it got personal, rick ignored all commands and just chased this guy around the map and vice versa bent on killing him, their was swearing, cursing, there was excuses :rotfl: :rotfl: The guy came first with rick trailing him, this wasn't good at all, so away they go in the next map one on one - i mean theres nothing more funnier than watching two grown men ( although this other guy could of been 13 for all i know) chasing each other around the map sluggin it out with knives.:rotfl: Cyber war can be dangerous to your health.:arrgh!:

I disagree. The fact that they are making money off your dime (you already paid for this game) and the fact that they are collecting 'data' = bad apples to me.

[HunterICX]

I have played Bf2 for 213 Hours total.

started to play at the begin, till the patch 1.03 everything was good and fair.
but after the patch that emerged SF players in it. the game started to go down the hill in a dramatacly rate.

too many bugs, the balance in some things where weird. the J10 the Almighty plane a decent pilot could stay in the air for the whole round. Air vs Anti Air was a bit unfair. Modern homing missiles (from an USS ESSEX) aimed right like behind the plane...the missiles just flew 5 meters over it or better yet...they would lose control and blow up a friendly chopper (and just to make you feel lucky a blackhawk fully loaded with people)

most of the time the atitude of the people on server where immature a lot of foul language thrown at eachother. and Teamkilling for stupid things (Planes, Chopper and tanks) an 14yr old kid who has to be a power hungry admin just bans you for the reason ''Hax'' (just because you killed him, or stole the golden medal with just a different of 10 points) and when you take a tank before he could he banned you for Teamkilling for vehicules while you just where there faster.
this kind of atitude ruined my pleasure in this game.

the communities had the same problem with immature atitude, if you **** the foul language the post will show up like this ***** n00bs, *****server******************I hate this ****** game******************** all

also the patching of the game turned out to be a useless download of big size wich didnt change much nor fixed anything. but instead of fixing the game which they should have done , they add a stupid feature so commander can drop Vehicules. wich I hated because they used it to clear out roof snipers instead of supporting the team with it.

also the amount of cheating, like said the commander hack, I managed one time to sneak up at an enemy base where the commander was lying on the floor...I was a spec op I threw all my packages of C4 under his ass an blew him sky high...instead of dying he just opened his parachute and shot me dead with 1 single pistol shot:x
when that happend after all the ****e I had over my head of this game I said ''Thats IT!!!!'' and I threw it off my computer. it ran ****e anyway (low memory and graphic card) so I had to go low/Med setup.

still my account excists :yep: http://www.bf2s.com/player/48109301/ I mainly was a sniper but love to blew their brains out when they are in a Jeep/truck with the m95

now because of the bad attitude, developer support in the game I lost my pleasure in EA's BF saga's. so that is one of the reason why I dont buy or going to buy 2142. also I dont like futuristice made up horsecrap. I like historical or something of today genre's .

HunterICX

[NeonSamurai]

The reasons you listed is pretty much why i dont play multiplayer games of any sort any more. The attitude, the language, the swearing, the stupid kiddies, and the cheats and bad server admins.

[Dowly]

HunterICX: I know why you got so much cheaters, whiners and otherwise a**holes playing with you. Looking at your stats, I can see you have played Strike At Karkand 104hrs!?

Karkand is de_dust of the BF series!? All the cheaters, statpadders and *ssholes play the map all day. You cant except a good team work on that map.

I play mostly only Dragon Valley, I like it. Big map, lots of trees and hills to sneak up on the enemy. Also, the team usualy works together! (well, atleast at that point when china gives them hell with their J10 and they need to capture the airfield to stop it)

[Oberon]

Just get the original BF1942 and get Forgotten Hope. The whiners on there usually get Sherman'd within five minutes :D

Though I understand the one man grudge thing, after getting shot five times in a row whilst sheltering it what I was sure was a safe area by a guy called CapsJaps, I deliberately went out of my way to hunt this guy down and get him at least once in vengence. Damn he was good though, top of the server everytime. But I got him...I had to sneak all the way through to behind enemy lines....then I hid up by a good sniper spot...and sure enough, after a couple of minutes, up he came to snipe....only to receive an M1 Garand shot in the face. :D That was a good feeling. :up:

[The Noob]

Oh yeah, i understand that feeling. There was a guy called "Ball.Breaker.Bill" (:rotfl:) In CSS wich pwnt me every single time. But then i camped at the Position he usually came to snipe (AWP whore!). Fired my Deagle "BOOM! Headshot!". That did rock. :D

(I then picked up his AWP and pwnt his team with it, BTW.)

A bonus for BF2142 Single Players, Co-op & Lan - unlocks. maps & weapons

http://files.filefront.com/FFOLKES_2142_Unlocks_v101zip/;6124063;;/fileinfo.html

EDIT: Just installed, this mod does not unlock the maps but it does give all weapons unlock & enable 32/64 players but only in 16 player maps which ends up pretty hectic fighting.

[kiwi_2005]

Ok i must be the only loser that likes singleplayer:p

for other losers (if any) heres the 32/64 maps mod. It will not do any damage to your online play it just creates a mini mod of the singleplayer.

Im only interested in single player myself. i have a strong dislike for pickup game online play.

It's all part of the Gamer Culture, part of the flafor for me.

When in Guildwars i read some pretty silly posts other players are saying to each other for instance one last nite went long these lines,

Lord Smasher: Your Gay

Im a Retard: No your Gay

Lord Smasher: No YOUR GAY!

Im a Retard: If im gay then how come your taken of your armor and walking round the game with just your pants on, you think your cool?

Lord Smasher: Your just jealous, besides why are you looking at my chest are you gay?

Im a Retard: Wanker

Lord Smasher: do it often do you?

A random poster jumps into the converstaion: You guys need to grow up man

Im a Retard: Who asked you

Lord Smasher: Hes Gay

:roll: :rotfl: :rotfl:

Actually sometimes i find myself in Guildwars just sitting their with coffee reading the silly arguments that go on while chuckling to myself. Some of them would make good Monty Python type comedies :)

[NeonSamurai]

Eh after 9 years of the same bunch of morons i got sick of them. But then i use to play squad/team/guild ladder competitions most of the time which i always found alot more fun. Its where i learned to absolutly detest PUG's (pickup games). Playing team games with a bunch of retards you never met is no where near as fun as playing somewhat more seriously with a bunch of guys you know and practice with weekly.
