Is 1.40 the last patch for BF2142?

the only problem is that in that file is your stats. so if you make it read only it wont let you get any stats on that pc.(or not be able to see your stats rise)

Once you are Brigadier, who gives a rat's **** about stats
Besides that, you will get stats, because everything is saved on EA's master server. If it was all saved on my PC, I would've been Supreme Commander with 576345836987647564846739735695 points a week ever since the game was released.

Interesting!

Presumably by doing something like this, it won't then allow you to alter your kit settings and change the kit defaults from within the actual game? When changing default kit settings, would that have to be done to the file, before then making it read-only again?

Don't ask me how it works, but it works. You can change your kit and it saves the changed kit, even if set to read only.

i dont give anything about stats. and if it changes the file while its read only it edits sectors on your pc not files. its pretty much the only way to edit files in assembler as far as my books go(those books are before 32 bits processors)

EDIT....one other thing. I saw it posted somewhere around here lately that on a particular day that there were 230+ servers currently up and running 2142 and nearly 10,000 running CoD4. The poster was using this to show how much more popular CoD4 is than 2142. However, if you ever check out the CoD4 servers you'll notice that of the 9000 to 10000 that are up and running at any time that a solid 7000 are complelely empty and a good 1000-1500 others have only 1 or 2 players. Sure, CoD4 is probably more popular than 2142....but it's also MORE than a year newer. However, at any one time there are probably only 200 or so servers that have games that anyone actually wants to join. Within a year this number will probably be around 50.

It's better to compare actual numbers of players rather than numbers of servers. As of this post:

COD 4: 36,113 people playing out of a possible 302,504 (11.94% of server slots in use)
BF2142: 7,401 people playing out of a possible 46,491 (15.92% of server slots in use)

So, COD 4 wins in number of players but BF2142 wins in percentage of slots used.

In the news ticker, it says 1.40 is the final patch.

Where'd you get your stats? Just wondering.

Does this count the PS3 and xbox players in CoD4? If it doesn't, well, COD4 will have a lot more players. If it does, well...

Personally I'm very very wary of buying BF3 unless DICE releases a solid patch for 2142 which fixes the majority of the items on the long bug list. I don't want to relive these painful bugs again.

Nah BF3 will be boss, like all BF games. Every game has bugs.

No. Console players don't count. We're talking PC.

Thanks! I've wondered about total number of players. I knew there would be far more CoD4 players than 2142. However, the total slot available stat is very interesting. Give it a year....CoD4 will have nothing close to 36000 people playing at any one time. In fact, I'd venture a guess that there won't be 36000 people playing in a 3-day weekend. ...especially since BF3 should be out by then!:yay:

The simple reason for the slot-in-use percentage is that for BF2142 there's **** all servers, while for CoD4, there are too many.

can you post what it says exactly? i think it says 1.40 final patch (vs the beta patch) but i don't think it says this is the last patch of the game. you might have misunderstood.

[gijoe435]

Hopefully that was the last patch, they need to stop developing for this game and actually make something good for a change. BF2 was such a great game, I was really disappointed that they felt the need to rush and push out this mess. They only thing worthwhile was the buddy system and the server browser, they need to re-work the server code from scratch if you ask me, this game couldn't crash more.

Good point. Though I still don't think DICE will give us another patch. 1942 got to 1.6, why are the 2nd generation BF games only have 1.4? EA taking over after Vietnam?

[imported_Field]

i played CoD4 for a while, it was a great game, but there are some things that i didnt really like about it, mainly trashy character animations and the fact that nobody talks on the mic, just mainly how everything looks and feels. So far I have returned to bf2142. Good game.
