Why do you play BF2 instead of 2142?

Re: Why do you play BF2 instead of 2142?

I must confess that I've been playing 2142 since Rubber Ducky went to POE2 (which for the life of me, I can't install properly). So after close to a month of playing and racking up a bunch of ranks and unlocks . . .I'm trying to get POE2 again:laugh:

2142 simply does not have the versatility of BF2. The maps seem to be bland copies of each other with silos just spread out in different areas. The kits and unlocks you NEED to be effective with vary from map to map. Imagine caping a point and you have orders to defend. What do you do? Grab that engineer kit and lay down some mines; but wait, you don't have them. Good luck putting 4 rounds into an apc, but you'll have better luck taking out the hover tank because the only way he'll kill you is by sliding over you on accident.

Lastly, the community is like BF2 around 2 years ago. You WILL see people wall hacking on most maps, throwing grenades through walls. and constant game chat of Voss whore, Ganz whore, etc., etc. And yes, titan mode is a nade, a.m.p., sentry gun, titan gun whoring, orgy of filth.

So all in all, BF2 is much better. Armor should kill infantry, helos should kill infantry and armor, and jets should kill everything. BTW, BF2 AA guns do work, you just have to survive the first strafe

And I was already thinking that common sense was extinct from the internetz.

Re: Why do you play BF2 instead of 2142?

Well lets see,

Poor story line/setting
Hardly any if any change in the dynamics of the game
the maps are ugly as ****
whats new?
Its made for noobs, and played by noobs
Ranks here ranks there
its 2142 the APCs dont even float
Titan lag
walkers are not cool at all are just stupid + buggy
Its to easy, bf2 takes more well skill is not the right word
No jets
The camo sucks
Its still all about ranks and not about team work


IMO its just a much worse version of bf2.

I get the other points, but... STORYLINE? BF 2 doesn't exactly have a thrilling story to it either lol

There is no real storyline behind bf2 but i find it believable tbh.

I will never pay full price for a MODE. 2142 was futuristic mode of BF2. Nothing more nothing less. it takes few years to make good game and that was the case in BF2. 2142 was made in less then a year and that is how long it takes for good modding team to release good mode. Check PR or POE2. I did try demo and i did play on my firend's computer many times and it was no fun from beggining.
Retarded walker, skating tanks or stupid air vehicles. Just bad idea. All those extra gadgets like beacon spawn, shield or locking mines. None of this is fun or original.
Someone mention that all noobs moved into 2142. I would not go that far but honestly after release of 2142 it felt like playing level in BF2 went up a notch so there is defintly some truth to it.

Re: Why do you play BF2 instead of 2142?

3 reasons i dont play 2142:

1. I can barely run BF2, i can't run 2142
2. Why pay for a modded BF2
3. Even more unrealistic that BF2, if BF2 is even considered to be realistic

Re: Why do you play BF2 instead of 2142?

I actually found BF2142 background storyline to be really good and plausible. With some creative work they could have nailed the setting and created despair, perhaps even horror as the threat is something people can relate themselves to. Well, those lucky crooks who live in Texas and havent seen snow in their life of course couldnt.

Then you load up BF2142 and every item, weapon, skin, map you see is so ****ing bland and stupid. Sh!tload of wasted potential.

Re: Why do you play BF2 instead of 2142?

I play BF2 over 2142 for two reasons: 2142 is very unrealistic which i hate in games, and bf2 is cheaper to buy :)

Re: Why do you play BF2 instead of 2142?

I hate games with futuristic weapons like a "plasma cannon" or "velocity rifle"... Id much rather playing with realistic weapons like the G36e, PKM, M95 etc.
