Re: Battlefield 2142 Features Revealed!

Quake 4 suxed rox. I don't trust that it will be worth fuel for a fire.

Quake 4 had great single player but I heard the multiplayer had crappy netcode. What sucked about it?

Re: Battlefield 2142 Features Revealed!

Can we stop discussing Quake, Tribe, and all those others???? The thread was created simply to let the community know where EA/Dice is headed with their next BF project. We already know its a 50/50 split as to who will play it and who will not (or at least those who say they will and wont). We dont need to hear it again. So if you dont have a constructive comment to make regarding the release, please dont say anything.

I personally think that it sounds like a potentially good game, given the list of things written in the OP. It might take a bit to convince me to buy, because i am generally not a futuristic gamer, but we'll see what happens. I like the idea of the mech walkers, because from the sounsd of it that will require proper teamwork to use effectively - people to man the AP and AA guns, someone to drive... And i also like the idea of extra points for squadding up.

Re: Battlefield 2142 Features Revealed!

I think the one thing we can all agree on is that they should release demos for both

Re: Battlefield 2142 Features Revealed!

Sounds cool...

Re: Battlefield 2142 Features Revealed!

If a demo is any good, I'll purchase BF2142. However, I have a good feeling this game won't come out until 2007.

Ok.. Serious...

1- My comp is fast, very fast. I'm too fast for Q4. The FP view just spins and makes it imposible to hit anything. I've tried and tried to tame it (mouse everything). It's bad coding. Add to that Lag (I've got a FAST connect it's not my ping) and you got a game that you can't play.

2- Childish maps that ARE SO CONTRIVED! They even brought back the old ones that DON"T look better.

3- Sad sound

4- Bad col. detection

5- Childish kits. (okokok! get this... everyone starts with the same crap, and everyone has to run to get another kit that's cooler!! Do you think people are going to like this in 2006(7)? YEAH! They did in 1983 with DEFENDER!!!!!)

6- Silly inertia that lets you bounce all over the place. It's like super mario with guns.

Single player held my attention for an hour. That's when I said, "This is DOOM, why did they call this Quake... loosers."

Sorry about the rant but i'm tired of this old formula that just doesn't work for me anymore.

I already said I heard that the multiplayer was bad. Did you even play the single player? And the collision detection in the Doom 3 engine is the best out there right now. It uses model hit detection instead of lame bounding-body hit detection like most games have. What's most likely is that you suck at aiming in games and depend on the huge bounding boxes that most games use.

Re: Battlefield 2142 Features Revealed!

What i find funny is that everyone whines about the BF2 servers, when you all still play the game anyway! So dont be going around saying "Im not getting this game cause EA/servers suck balls blah blah blah" Bottom line: You'll buy it and dont deny it!

No I won't, didn't buy SF or EF, don't intend to get this unless I hear REALLY good reviews.

[CommandoOps]

Re: Battlefield 2142 Features Revealed!

what no Ion Laser weapons?
looks like i will be getting it.

[dBs]

Re: Battlefield 2142 Features Revealed!

I wasnt at all interested at first but depending on how they do it...I may reconsider getting it.

Re: Battlefield 2142 Features Revealed!

I still don't understand why they are so obsessed with kits. Kit systems suck ass.

I dunno dude, it looks like they've murdered the support kit too.. However of the 8 classes there should be, only 7 were listed by OP.

In the trailer/movie, you can see there is a dude with a bipod lmg type weapon, so really, I'm just all confuzzled right now :P

I want my PKM in bf2142... or better yet! The PLA type 95! That thing kicks ass since 1.2

Ok.. Serious...

I agree with these points. Q4 singleplayer was lame. I spent 3 months working through it (playing when I was bored with everything ELSE) and when I finally got to the makron for #2 time, I deleted the game.

Seriously, Q2 was better..

Re: Battlefield 2142 Features Revealed!

Will be good to see how it works...I am sure most of us will take a look

it wont work , e.g Battlefield 2

Re: Battlefield 2142 Features Revealed!

I am so buying this. No matter how much it costs I am buying it.

[SPC_Zotchman]

Re: Battlefield 2142 Features Revealed!

I'll buy it.
Can't count the hours I'd spent in Steel Battalion : Line of Contact (XBOX:Capcom)
Giant mechs battling eachother combined with free roaming troops/vehicles sounds awesome. It's like Mech Warrior. And removing the rail gun might be a good idea, since that thing just punches through anything.

Re: Battlefield 2142 Features Revealed!

Has anyone mentioned that instead of artillery shells- huge beams of laser-beam rays come down from the sky- pulverising everything in it's path?

that would be sooooooo cooooooool...
