Battlefield 2142

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

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

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!

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!
