Are you dissapointed at all?

There are a few technical things that bug me - most have already been mentioned. I can get over them, though, as every game has its tech glitches.

As far as actual gameplay, this is by far the best game out there. Sure, some newer games have better graphics, but cannot even come close to the dynamic gameplay.

I just bought the game in December and was one of those BF2 fanatics that belived all of the negative hype that many in the BF2 community threw out when 2142 was first released. The first time I played 2142, I was blown away - it is such a far superior game than BF2, that it's hard to believe it's essentially the same game.

Which is why I've never accepted the BF2 fanboi dogma of BF2142 being 'just a BF2 mod'. :salute:

stability- never seen crashes like this until i started playing the battlefield franchise

security- seeing more & more hackers, but they always seem to be one step ahead of the creators

lighting- 1.5 screwed this up royaly. my fav is how shadows are now cast through solid concrete. if the sun is that intense, EU & PAC wouldn't be fighting for the few remaining locations not covered by ice because it would be melted for damn sure :laugh:

The lingering bugs kill me. Here's my list of gripes.

Why don't titan gunners get team kills? In every FF on titan sever I've ever been in that allowed titan movement, I've been teamkilled by clueless gunners.

Why are the gunships STILL unbalanced this late in the game.

Why does one transport gun STILL not work.

Why is it that I occasionally can't spawn on the titan.

Nade spamming needs a nurf

Clipping exploits still exist....

But all of that pales in comparison to what Shurikane mentioned. This is by far the most clueless and hostile community that I have played in. I've been gaming online for most of my adult life, and I have yet to run across a more petty group of people then I have in BF2142. The asshats used to be the exception, but now days I'm surprised when I meet a non-*******. Every server I go into it's the same thing. Kill an admin in any shape or form that they don't approve of, play the game ANY way other than is DICTATED to you and you're banned.

I thought the whole point of ranked server was to prevent this kind of thing, but it's been a joke from the beginning. [/rant]

well i know some admins who hack themselfs (wont say your name *stars* oops i did). but the funny thing is, they keep banning me for a round for aimbotting at the end of the round, still amazed how clueles some of them are. this disappoints me but also amuses me. there are really dissappointments(shooting entire clips in someone, then suddenly you turn around and discover you shot 2 clips in the wall, only to get knifed by a tard who couldnt kill you with a voss clip).

As Zarious sort of said, the fact that the EU gunship has shields that somehow don't stop the ordnance from the PAC gunship from penetrating and doing fatal damage is very disappointing, ...and I BET they won't fix that with the next update.

There are other things too, but still it's piles of fun, so meh, I guess I'll keep playing it.

[Chris--My--azz]

i think most of you are getting the wrong idea here i think the op is more interested in your opinions on concious decisions made by the devs as opposed to glitches/bugs etc

and imo they have hit the nail on the head

but as shurikane stated teh community is R-tarded but hey, if there were no n00bs then there would be no one for us all to slaughter

[Forces(UK)]

I honestly don't know that it's a bug/glitch.

When there is SUCH a big difference between the vulnerability of one gunship and another, and it persists through so many updates, you have to wonder whether the devs actually decided that it's somehow a desirable game feature...

[Chris--My--azz]

well it's better than it used to be i remember the days where if the talon was flying full speed you physically couldn't hit it with rockets, there must be some underlying issue as to why it doesn't work i think it's that the doragan tail pokes out the shield and it would be hard to change the size of the shield or something ...

but we digress again lol ... such is tbf2142 might as well be ot lol

[iQue]

scope glitches
view glitches
hit reg
inconsistent hit reg/ shooting mechanics
collision detection / getting stuck on stuff

jumping on / over certain objects/ platforming/ getting sucked down to the ground

people getting stuck inside the environment and are unable to be revived via defib

This

Against bots the engine seems to work pretty flawlessly, everything is perfectly smooth, you can time animations perfectly and get movement down to millimeter precision. The second you go online, something is gonna bug out sooner or later, whether it's getting stuck in zoomed view, the reload takes a second longer or you keep sliding off the same damn spot the whole time, it gets tiresome.

I love the core gameplay and setting of 2142, but after playing other games on much better engines for a long time (source, CE2, iD tech 3 just to mention a few), I'm not coming back

BC2 looks promising, will see how that turn out

On the contrary, I'd rather get challenged and have to work for my score than have it given to me on a silver platter. The best fights I've ever had were those where I had to actually think twice about my tactic and really plan ahead for anything at all - unlike when fighting against a n00b team in which you know they'll run into the mines you place on the same spot again and again and again. I always laugh when people pod right next to me in an attempt to kill me quickly only to realize that I've seen them coming a long time ago and am waiting for them with a fully loaded assault rifle.
