    The game, on release, has run smoother for me than BF2142 ever has, not to mention how it's such a beautiful game, with same FPS as BF2142 for me. Already it's had 2 patches to fix up minor problems, and those patches didn't cause even more problems! So the devs certainly care about it.

    And TBH, vehicles are boring. I'm quite glad they aren't in CoD4, it makes for fun infantry combat, without the drawback of "walker's here, I'll be back in 15 seconds".

    Easier ranking allows for a person to actually enjoy time on an unranked server, what a concept! With only light playing daily I'm rank 45 out of 55, and have enjoyed playing knowing that my every kill, death, and teamwork point wasn't being recorded for all to see. There is no global stats tracking, only local for you to see if you wish.

    Plus, it's moddable!
    Got to agree with quite a few of your points, the lack of global stats visible to all and sundry, the infantry only combat, regular patches (a vast improvement by IW from CoD2)

    I love the variety of weapons, perks and the custom class options. That is what BF2142 kit selection should of been, and was made out to be when it was first announced.

    The vast majority of maps are well laid out, and work perfectly for the intended number of players. However when you go over that number, such as the 50+ servers then they start to feel very, very, very small.

    There's definitely some flaws in CoD4 though.

    The easier ranking is a little to easy.

    Airstrikes/Helicopters are too easy to achieve and way to regular.

    Custom classes can be quite annoying if you want to create a new one while already on a server but aren't really sure what selection you want to make, due to being only available for like 30 seconds between the end of the round and the new map loading. (If you're not on a server, this isn't a problem and you can take as long as you like)

    Hardcore mode is very good, but I think there should be either changes to it, or create an 'Extreme Hardcore' mode. 'Extreme Hardcore' mode would be identical to Hardcore mode, but with the removal of airstrikes/helicopters, nades, and the n00btube.

    Server browser needs a little work, there's missing filters and joining a full server dumps you back to the main screen, rather than back to the server browser.

    And to make thing worse, hacks are already out there. There was even someone using an aimbot the other day.

    But if BF3 came out tomorrow, I'd be all over it. You just can't beat the BF series, you can be close, but no match or surpass it.

      I've just got to ask. You sound like you hate vehicles in a multiplayer FPS. If so, why did you even bother with a series known more for it's vehicle game play then infantry game play?

        I will play it here are there, but it really has no comparison to 2142's gameplay. Maps are small and everyone just seems to be running from point to point with little or no teamwork. Graphics and weapons are cool, but too me its battlefield light. Not a bad game, but 2142 really has nothing to fear.

          As of this time Timeless had 7 spaces open on 5 64 player servers an 1 48 player one.

          If BF2142 is dying then the grim reaper is playing a morbid joke.

          Incidentally our 2 COD4 servers have been empty most of the day and our die hard gamers are retruning from it once they get to 5 start Gen

              That's classic stuff.

              An average games forum timeline:

              'new game x' is gonna pwn 'old game y'
              omg 'new games x' is the best ever
              noobtube is ruining 'newish game x'
              that patch suck, screw you 'newish game x publisher'
              'new game z' is gonna pwn 'old game z'

              and so the big wheel keeps on turning
