Long time I posted here, but I don't play BF2 anymore, or very little untill patch 1.3 is out , but I have a preview of BF2142 for you guys, it's a dutch article but I will translate the biggest parts .
As everyone knows, the game is futuristic, but it isn't sci-fi , meaning, no plasma guns and stuff like that .
For starting the BATTLEWALKER , the big thing (but not the biggest) , it gives place for two people, is armed with anti personel and anti AIR weapons, also has a defence system wich takes out incomming misiles and nades , they say the things eats infantry like hell, but it can be taken out by a pulse nade wich shuts it down for some time and then you can destroy it with a second attack .
and another new toy , the SD-18 drone , this is some dron flying over your head as infantry, spotting enemy's for your, taking out enemy's at close distance , but it's alwys above your head, meaning no place to hide for you, they know where you are and at long distance it won't take out enemy's effectivly, still , they say it will be a very popular toy .
next new toy, invisibility, you are almost completely invisible with this, but won't be able to use weapons while in stealth mode
AND what about the biggest thing ? the TITAN , this is some extremely heavely armed aircraft, completely controled by the commander .
this thing is big and big, has several weapons on board for use by the commander (raplacement of artilery) and can bring troops (spawn point) APC's, battlewalkers and otehr stuff to places on the battlefield .
Then, there seem to be two gamemodes, conquest (the good old one) and TITAN .
TITAN mode , is ass folowing .
two teams, each one has a TITAN , objective is to destroy the other team it's TITAN , wich isn't easy , not only do you have to get on the TITAN, but you have to enter it, destroy it's consoles and look for the nuclear core wich powers it, put enough explosives on it and destroy the whole ship ,
they say this mode have very big potential because teams have to decide between attacking, defending on the right moments, not enough defenders and some enemy's get on your TITAN and enter it, you could loose the game.
TEAMWORK, very important, in squads not only you earn points for yourself, but also points for the total squad, so if your squad is doing very well you get more points, this way you rank up , you don't spawn on the squadleader anymore but on a beacon the squadleader can place , but this beacon can get destroyed by the enemy .
classes, only 4 classes in this game, and for every class, there aere less tools then for the curent classes in the game, however if you rank up you get more and more tools, they say when you reach the highest rank in the game, you will be able to make 1500 combinations for your infantry soldier (WTF?) .
Further , answering the question about the futuristic stuff and the fans whining about it .
indeed, we know this, but the future gives us more oportunitys to add stuff in the game for making the gameplay better , also the new TITAN mode (explained above) will be a blast, our first objective is making the game get played , once the gamers will play the game , they will stick to it because this game has more potential and fun then all the other BF games .
All togheter, I think the game will be good, I just hope it will have less bugs, glitches then BF2 and for gods love a dam better NETCODE .
