What's the difference between bf2 and bf 2142?

[tony007]

What's the difference besides the future tech? Are there any improvements on the weapons or the aiming on bf 2142?

well one of them is a great game and the other is a piece of $hit EA made for a quick buck. That about sums it up.

2142 is definitely more infantry combat centered and it does very well in that capacity.
However, to be competitive you need some unlocks and you can get 5-10 in a few weeks of playing out of a total of 50 (unlock at 40 points, 80 points, 120 points, 200 points, etc...very close together at first).

You'll notice the "insta-prone super-duper accuracy" garbage is gone. Players now take a knee for a quick accuracy improvement. This means you can still hit them. It's much much better than BF2 in that regard. So much so that close quarters combat in BF2 is no longer fun for me (and I'm an infantry junkie).

For air vehicles, 2142 is garbage. I say that because the jet and chopper whores cannot pound the hell out of an entire team without fear of anything for an entire round anymore. There is portable AA and plenty of AA emplacements. Also, the "gunship" in 2142 just sucks at taking out vehicles and/or infantry. There is no TK'ing for air vehicles partly b/c they're no good and also because there is no more shooting through glass.

However, the ground vehicles are not much fun at all (tanks can be easily killed in one shot, APC's in 2 and walkers in 3-4). There are also motion mines that track after your vehicle and EMP mines to stop it in it's tracks.

Bottom line, if you love infantry combat and don't mind getting beat on until you get some unlocks out of the way then 2142 is a great game. If you are a jet, chopper or armor whore you will not enjoy 2142 in the least.

Because it took us 100 years to achieve mach 4, but in 150 years we will realize that speed does not have a role in military air power.

2142 is everything BF2 should have been engine, infantry gameplay, sounds, graphics, unlocks and ranks wise, only con is that it`s in the future.

Future + DICE`s creativity= fail.

2142 was far too easy, played it for afew days and got bored.

If you think karkand is bad for nade spam, wait until you try attacking titan corridors~

I only played the 2142 demo and didn't like it, too futuristic for me. Bf2 is way better for me anyway.

One's a mod the other is the original game.

Grenades + Anti Personalle Mines + RDX + APS Shielding Units + Sentry guns + PK Rockets = the ultimate defence.

Things that I think are better/improved in 2142 versus BF2.

1. Being able to crouch/crawl around an enemy claymore (they call them APMs) without it going off in 2142.

2. Roller mines and pilum in 2142 make it harder for armor to whore it up on infantry.

3. Squad Leader spawn beacon.

4. Points system that rewards/encourages team play versus lonewolfing it.

Things that I thing are better in BF2 versus 2142.

1. As someone mentioned, air vehicles. They suck in 2142...there's no other way to put it.

2. Weapons and sounds. Even though the weapon sounds in BF2 could be improved a lot they are still HEAD AND SHOULDERS above the "futuristic" bleep, bleep, bleep of the 2142 guns. It's like the sounds a 6 year old would make in a make believe game of Aliens in the back yard.

3. Number and variety of maps. There are really only three good conquest maps in 2142. I don't even want to get into Titan mode.

I agree with the lasers but automatic fire sounds 3x better than BF2. So do overall sound effect.
