Welps, looks like E3 is going to be pretty damned sweet this year!

Re: Battlefield 2142 Features Revealed!

Am I the only one upset that they started working on this immediately after they released BF2? No wonder why the support has been so bad, they've been working on the next game the whole time! What this means is that EA basically wrote BF2 off before they even saw the community reaction. I could understand if BF2 was unpopular and no one was playing it, then they started 2142. But that was not the case. I don't understand why they diverted all of their attention away from BF2, when BF2 was desperately in need of fixes. Just shows you where their true loyalty is: not in the customers, but solely in the money.

Re: Battlefield 2142 Features Revealed!

I have to put out my wish that will never happen:

I wish they would do what Sony did with Everquest (which was to put their latest engine for Everquest II into Everquest I so it was totally updated). So, I wish they would take this revised BF2 Engine and do a massive Patch release that upgrade vanilla BF2 to the BF2142 Mod Engine.

Sigh, my tortured mind will never see this I think.

Edit: I totally misread the comment. Oops.

It's actually fairly likely that work done on the core engine will be backfed to BF2. Not everything, but some of the refinements will no doubt be included in future patches.

Also very curious about their parachute replacement. They said they're going to be replacing 'chutes with something new... and it's NOT jetpacks. Hmm... ropes would be cool.

I have it on good authority that instead of parachutes, you'll be able to deploy a giant plastic bubble (much like those used on the Mars Pathfinder landings). The n00bs will complain when there are TK's caused by bubbles, because you'll bounce back up in the air about 500 feet and get killed by an unsuspecting pilot!

(can you just picture the next MINE video with 64 players bouncing up in the air!)

Maybe it will be like the goo in the Final Fantasy movie. You shoot it where you're going to land and it's like jumping into jello.

Re: Battlefield 2142 Features Revealed!

I put money on it now that they still will not have fixed the red/blue tag bug.

Lol!
The exact same thought crossed my mind when I read about them getting rid of the 'chutes. Amusing to see someone on the same wavelength of geekdom. :p

Personally, I'm hoping for a refined version of SF ropes. Being able to repell from aircraft/buildings would just be loads of cool. Make a grappling hook an integrated part of every kit and it would open the field up in lots of new and intersting ways.

Supper happy fun ball desenders could be a hoot tho.

Re: Battlefield 2142 Features Revealed!

They could just make it a more accurate depiction of future warfare where the opposing sides just carpet bomb each other over and over until no one's left.

Re: Battlefield 2142 Features Revealed!

I read in a post on PBF that the the replacement parachute will be a POD like thng that you can steer to the ground. Sounds interesting

If that's the case then it seems like there will be no more base jumping in the game

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