Re: 1.4 - The End of BF2?

Maybe BF3 will be another Modern Era game but this time with better graphics (Direct X 10) 128 Player support, and for **** sakes a new engine lol

Take away the better graphics and you got Joint Operations.

Re: 1.4 - The End of BF2?

Re: 1.4 - The End of BF2?

The patch made things worse IMO. I start BF2 up, but if I close it and start it up again later, it won't start at all. I get a MS error asking if I wish to tell them about the problem..

Or starting from the disk, it shows the first splash screen really quickly, then disappears. I have to restart the computer JUST to play it again.

And unless anyone has any fixes, I'm not going to even take the time to f***ing bother fixing it. If I have to fix something in a game that the developer should've done in the first place, I'm just wasting my time...gg ffs..

Re: 1.4 - The End of BF2?

Not sure about BF3 though, I thought that's what BF2142 is. I can't really see what other direction they can go in. They've done WW2, they've done contemporary, they've done futuristic so what's next?

Hmm- well I can think of some stuff. It doesn't have to be a dramatically "new" game. I mean, nation states aren't going away anytime soon or anything. So, how about some of the things that were in BF1942 but aren't in BF2? Things, like adding full spectrum warfare aka seapower, subs, strategic weapons? What about low-intensity conflict and info ops options for Commanders? Dramatically better graphics and physics are a no-brainer addition that could really change the game. Changes so there are squadrons of aircraft attacking instead of every pilot action like a one-person Air Force. REAL AA with long range SAM and SEAD missions. Changes to player points to reward intelligence gathering. Add civilans. Add political actions to change basing mid-game. Allow BF2 players to keep their unlocks but add new stuff- maybe hand to hand in certain circumstances. Maybe allow C4 to be shared. Add mortars (I just throw that in since it's the thing I would have most like to have seen in BF2). Use dual and quad core power to expand the battles to hundreds of players. Just these things would make a dramatically more complex game without making it that much harder for individual players to learn how to play. I spent like 30 sec coming up with these ideas, DICE I'm sure can come up with ideas that are actually good.

2142 cant be THAT much better than bf2 and certainly will be on par with the mods as it IS A MOD!

Re: 1.4 - The End of BF2?

ye but this patch is pretty good i mean i never have seen a patch that gives a new map.

Aberdeen, Battle_of_Britain, Coral_sea, Invasion_of_the_Philippines, Liberation_of_Caen, all came with patches for BF'42, when added to the 17 original maps gives 23 total vanilla maps.

You'd compare that to BF2's 11 vanilla maps plus 2 maps (wake and jalalalabad) with patches for a total of 13 maps.

BF2 is rooted. I don't care if it's the end of patching or not because the patches don't fix anything anyway, and the patches only include around 1 from 100 of the things the players want anyway.

Re: 1.4 - The End of BF2?

Sad but true the END is near. I don't know how many of us old PC gamers are left. Delta force 1,2,3 gone, MOH gone, wolfenstein gone, operation flashpoint gone, call of duty all gone, battlefield vietnam gone, and now battlefield 2. The release of the one map is the companys way of keeping your lips wet untill there new game comes out. In the years past, players would spend countless hours making maps, you would log on, download and join. we would spend time looking for the teams and servers with the great maps made by players. only a hand full do that now if any. These companys have slowly taken that away from us. "example" only making there rented servers ranked, thus cutting the little guy out. Now the puppeteer is hard at work again. I for one would like them to spend time on giving us good maps and billing us for them then trying to have us dish out another 50 bucks for a new game. Whats after 2142? flashbangs on mars? I for 1 am out after bf2 not into the space game. You know the old saying about an old soldier, the last battle with the last bullit. MY only hope is that a new company comes into play that really cares for us pc gamers who invest 10fold the amount of money into there systems that a playstation gamer does. Good luck guys.

Re: 1.4 - The End of BF2?

What have they done to this game? I played today and it was the worse games I have ever played in.

DAO kills in 1 shot and shoots further, trying to press fire on a rocket launcher and it just wont fire because I just got up, it's not just a 2 sec freaking wait!!!!

Single shot doesn't work, anti-aircraft can shoot FURTHER and is more powerful, I dont care what anyone says the Spetz AA on Ghost town can now take out the helo as it's taking off! I was on a server that bans attacking the AA at they're base now to take advantage.

People are jumping around like crazy because you cant just prone and take them out, My ping has gone much higher and the LAG when you throw a smoke granade is worse than it's ever been.

PLEASE LET US GO BACK TO 1.2, OR FAIL THAT GIVE UP ON 1.3 AND HIGHER AND TRY TO FIX THE PROBLEMS STARTING AT 1.2!!!!!

I think that was a pretty intelligent first post.

The only thing that bothered me is that 2142 has NOTHING to do with SPACE in it at all!

Re: 1.4 - The End of BF2?

scknight thank you for the complement and yes you are right it has nothing to do with space. The point is we seem to be moving closer to the halo type warfare and getting away from reality type gaming and its all happening without fixing the bugs that are still present. But your point is well taken ty.

Re: 1.4 - The End of BF2?

I don't think the BF series needs a new theatre, I think it just needs a bit more depth.

What about a perpetually changing battlefield game? Where flags are in different positions each round? It would make each round unique and require a bit more thought instead of mad dashes to the same locations. Another idea would be country-wide battles where each map is part of a larger territory that needs to be taken in order untill a whole territory is conquered, and each map of the territory plays different depending on if you are attacking or defending.

im thinking how i would kill myself if BF2142 ended up being the best game ever period:laugh:

Take the shotgun out of your mouth, because I don't think thats even a remote possibility . I'm guessing 2142 is going to be less popular than BF2 and extremely unpopular amoung the fans that like the quasi-realism of the previous BF games.
