2142 has dropped off Xfire's top 10, while BF2 is still holding its position.
I attribute it to the fact that 2142 just gets boring after a while. There's two types of maps - grey and brown. No colour variety whatsoever. 2142 has 12 vehicles, 6 for each team. The only one that's really unique between the teams is the tank...the other vehicles, you barely notice the difference because they're basically the same.
BF2 has 28 vehicles! And they all have their own unique characteristics - you can clearly tell the difference between US/MEC/PLA APCs and other vehicles. Also, the maps in BF2 look beautiful and there's a lot of variety.
All in all, it's pretty obvious that 2142 was thrown together for the extra money. Don't get me wrong, it's still a good game, but IMO it's not worth $50. If they would've spent an extra half-year or so in development, there's no doubt that 2142 would have been awesome. Trying to beat Quake Wars was so stupid, considering that now it's been pushed back so far that lots of people will probably switch straight from 2142 to QW.
Good thing there are some mod teams working on stuff for 2142. Content is what it needs the most. When someone gets all the unlocks and plays up to Supreme General Commander of the Glorious Make Benefit of Kazakhstan or whatever the top rank is, I would imagine the game becomes rather monotonous.
I agree with Elxx totally. "There's two types of maps - grey and brown." that made me laugh!! Very true.
Lol at people hating on Bf2142, most of you probably haven't even given it a good go. It's actually quite good but no, it won't take over Bf2 as like other people said, it's not as popular.
However, it's still good and i won't have some idiot who has never played it before tell me different.
No way will BF2142 take over BF2! The modern combat feel of this game is just so much better than that cheesy rip off call BF2142. I played that game for about 3 weeks than got bored and went back to BF2. The guns feel a lot more real.
