I love these threads.
"I've left 2142 8 months ago because....."
....but they are here....on a 2142 forum. Hmmmm.....
Or this one....
"All the veterens have left for other games...."
Really? Seems all the 64-man servers I play on are STILL full 90% of the time and I still see the same names every time I play. In addition, there are routinely 150-200 servers up at all hours of the night and day and probably 50% of those are full or nearly full.
Soo.....if you have really left 2142....just leave. Enjoy the new games you are playing. But don't think for a minute that your presence is somehow missed or the game is just not the same without your sunny disposition being around. Servers somehow still find a way to fill up.....new players are still joining the game.....those who play it are still having fun. The world has somehow found a way to move on without you....I know, I know.....must be surprise to ya!:shakehead
EDIT:
For instance, I just did a little research....there are (at the time of this posting) 6835 players currently playing BF2142 on-line. On the top 10 servers as listed by 2142-stats.com, of the available 604 slots.....499 are filled with actual players right now. In addition, of the top 10 players, all 10 have played within the past 4 days, 5 of them have played at least 3 of the last 4 days and 7 of the top 10 have played today.
Seems there are plenty of people still playing 2142.....Comment

Just because we don't play a game anymore doesn't mean we cannot still be part of the community.
You are not very loyal to a community now are you? xDComment

I decided to stop playing in the New Year.
This is the first online FPS I ever played and have to say I certainly got my moneys worth. I have about 32 days of straight play racked up :shock:
I decided to have a last day of play yesterday but got a punkbuster disconnect, then a IDS deploy freeze and finally a round crash so decided to uninstall there and then.
Despite it's foibles 2142 is a fantastic game and I haven't played anything that is as good - yet. I look forward to Battlefield 2142 v2 or Battlefield 3. Till then I will be working on my cardio fitness instead lol. Lots of tennis, bball and snowboarding. Can't wait for the end of winter!
I had set a goal of getting top 100 in the world with the clark and clark rds - last time I checked I was 101 & 104 respectively so I guess it wasn't meant to be :laugh:
I still don't remember seeing any of the names on the forum ingame but I will look out for you in the next generation FPS :salute:
Happy New YearComment

Was this supposed to be an insult? Wow....how pathetic. "You may not have any online friends. Do you realize how sad and pathetic that sounds. That's like saying the phone sex chick you call will "miss you."
It's a freakin' game. No one cares who plays and who doesn't. If you do you need a life. There are still thousands and thousands of players and there are still people buying the game and starting to play. The only thing that people care about is if there are servers playing and people filling the servers. If so....great. If not....it's time to move on to a new game or find a hobby that actually means something.
I'm OK with the sentiments of the opening post. I'm OK with someone saying "thanks for the great times guys, I'm off to a new game." However, it's the "I've logged 2143 hours on this game....and now it sucks....I'm on to ______ game and it's so much better for a 1000 reasons" or the "I left 8 months ago, I can't believe you losers are still playing this game" and having to COME BACK to a 2142 forum to do it.
I won't say goodbye when I "leave" because I don't really care who will "miss" me or who "won't" because, see, common sense tells me its just a game and the vast majority of those playing understand this, have lives, and will still play with or without me. :shakeheadComment

Today I noticed:
Over 10,000 CoD4 servers active
Only 224 BF2142 servers active...Comment

(this was my reply to another thread where someone was frustrated with all these old bugs but then said he still loves BF2142 and honestly that's how many of us feel too; anyways i thought my reply was also appropriate for this thread
)
it's amazing how much leeway battlefield gets with buggy programming and lousy support because frankly it is the only player in this unique fps genre. if this was the type of game where there was some competition (sorry QW:ET doesn't count :)), perhaps DICE would try harder to make a better game, but it seems like they have all but left the battlefield gamers out in the cold with 2142. it's pretty much an insult to the people who bought this game how they handled everything from bugs that remain from the game's release, stupid simple thing like picking of supreme commanders, and their world famous method of introducing new bugs while not really fixing existing bugs every single freakin' patch.
a lot of people have shown loyalty by staying around this long, but there comes a point where you have to put away your need for the battlefield fix and just move on to a game that doesn't have so many issues. sure COD4 is no battlefield, but i've come to a point where i decided to go with a good game that is not buggy and well supported over a great game that is buggy and with terrible support.

That's amazing!Originally posted by l33tfodder
However, 2142 is nearly 15 months old....CoD4 isn't even 2 months old. So you'd expect more CoD4 servers....but 10,000??? That's incredible.
In addition....for those who have left because of the instability of this game and the lack of constant support all I have to say is.....I fully understand. The PB problems with 2142 and the crashes and connection issues always frustrate me. It's just the game is fun enough for me to see past these. I understand why some have given up, though.
I don't plan on leaving 2142 anytime soon and definitely not for CoD4. However, I am downloading the beta for FFOW right now and from what I've seen this game looks pretty awesome. Most of the beta-testers I have seen posting their opinions seem to really like it. So....if I'm leaving for another game anytime soon, this might be it.Comment

ROOFER! LOLAgreed - I played a round yesterday with an AWESOME squad. Managed to cap all back flags on camp gib within a few mins, they still had a walker on half health, so got my entire squad on a roof and PK rocketed it to death. Watching 5 people launch several simultaneous volleys of rockets and nail a walker was AWESOME. Gutted battlerecorder wasn't running

hey thanks for seeing my point. i am not leaving battlefield for good, i just have an alternative now so it will take a backseat to it but i still play a little bit here and there (i'm still working on the armor medal and still need about 1500 more kills).
hey i looked up FFOW and it does look pretty sweet. tell me more about the game, is it supposed to be very similar to battlefield? when is it due out and how can one participate in the beta? also tell us how the beta is if you don't mind.Comment

I DLed the frontlines beta yesterday and its... OK. I guess. I can't really give a great description of it cause I only played 3 rounds, but even though I had never touched the game before those three rounds I still ended up in first place at the end of each of those three rounds.
As for gameplay... No Knife, which disappointed me (its really easy to get behind someone) and the guns are all... weird. A Fully Zoomed in Sniper rifle (with no sway) misses a perfectly lined up shot on a stationary target 3/5 times. The Drones are fun (I wish my Accipitator was remote controlled), and the frontlines game mode is good in concept. The idea is that because of how the map is lined up it forces the team to work together, to push toward the front line instead of having everyone sneak to the back.
However, that removes one of my favorite aspects of any FPS game; stealth. Its good common sense that dictates that you should have someone guarding your main base, but in this game all the fighting happens on the "Front Lines". Now because of this "Front Line" all the fighting happens in cramped chokepoints. Yes, imagine the Central Camp to Ruins nadespam, just for an entire round with no hope of taking the catwalk and flanking the enemy from EU base. No hope of getting an infiltrator past to cap the toll station as a distraction... Just constant madness in the same old chokepoint, over and over. And Over. For all eternity.
Thats all I got to say about it for now.

PS: Join the beta HERE
PPS: Almost forgot to discuss: Graphics. I played it all maxed out, still getting around 50 FPS. It looks... I dunno. Cartoony a bit. I guess I have just been a bit spoiled by Crysis :pComment

thanks. i'm downloading the beta but don't know if i meet the minimum reqs. for the video card. i have an radeon x800 GTO, i don't know if that's below the gforce 6 minimum reqs. for the game.
i noticed it's the makers of desert combat, so that sounds pretty promising at least.Comment

Played it again (for another three rounds :p) on a less crowded map. My opinion on it has changed quite a bit actually... The map I played reminded me of Highway Tampa, just alot smaller. Tank Madness, but vehicles are pretty weak in this game (at least compared to 2142 they are). I love playing as EMP Tech, cause then when I snipe (or go spec. ops) they can't get me on radar. The ability to stop them annoying little drones is helpful too! I love using the EMP Launcher on a vehicle, and then lacing it with C-4. When the pilot comes to, he just drives on like nothing happens, then BOOM! Tons of fun :p Still a serious lack of teamwork (my team lost twice in a row... It really seemed like I was the only one who was actually on the "FrontLine"), and I managed to come in third place each of the rounds I played, behind the Chopper Whores. Which brings us to the Chopper Whores. Remember the anal rapage that jets used to bring about in BF2? Well, its back. I managed to hit one with an EMP rocket once, it was kinda funny watching him helplessly fall to the ground :pComment
