Improvements

[FallenMorgan]

I just installed the game on my new computer, but I've played it since it came out. I noticed that BF2142 looked a lot better in the alpha version.

First of all, the titan mode HUD was cooler looking. To me a lot of things would make it more interesting:

Redesign the titan mode gameplay. Instead of four consoles, have stuff like a shield generator and whatnot. Here's how my idea would work:

Each team has a Titan, with one shield, no fancy permanent ones. The commander can fire an EMP strike on the titan, which will disable the shields temporarily, for about say, a couple seconds. This will be a window for the enemy forces to assault the titan.

The forces on the titan can either attempt to make their way to the core, guarded by sentry guns and the like, or they can get to the shield generator. They will destroy the shield if they pick the latter option, and the shields will be eliminated.

Troops will have to guard the destroyed shield generator, so that the enemy doesn't repair it. The attacking army will assault the enemy titan. With the increased forces, they can now assault the core room, and destroy the titan.

Also, another thing. I'd like it if missiles besides the ones from the silo did damage to the titan hull. So - what are your ideas?

I think it's fine how it is...

I made a petition thing to make BF2142 better:

Also, it would be cool if the titans could drop Mechs or something like they could in the alpha version. Also, it would be cool if they added that clicky noise before and after that intercom thing again.

Re: Improvements

My mod has several of those things like activate voip and you get the radio chatter noise.

Agreed... Even though the game has its flaws, it plays smoothly and is a ton of fun :)

The types of suggestions you want are for modders. I would check out Dtneter's mod, its freaking awesome :nod:

Re: Improvements

Some of these things though would require a lot of hard coding. Also, the graphics of the game don't stand up to good to other games. It'd be cool if they modified the graphics to more frostbite levels.

Re: Improvements

Yeah the graphics are starting to look a little basic. However I love the soldiers and their animations. And the little touches like the way the transport mgs deploy when someone jumps in the seat. I don't think in a war game you want things too realistic.

Re: Improvements

Titan is fine how it is, the titan could use a bit less lag, but thats just the server. The maps for titan should be a little less centered around the vehicle, with only some, but not all out.

Titan lag is actually caused by your computer. I can run the game on all high and get 100FPS, 64 man titan runs without even the slightest stutter.

Everybody says something is fine until they see what it's like improved...

Re: Improvements

You gonna pay for those improvements? I'm not :p

Thats why I said this kind of thing is the stuff that modders do... A game company just has to sell the thing to you, they don't have to change the game engine to "improve" it. Editing the stuff in the codes is one thing, editing models is another thing. Editing the game engine is a place companies don't want to get into (especially not just for a patch)... Unless there is a sort of critical bug that needs to be fixed.

Re: Improvements

I'm 100% opposed to any game mechanic changes. The game has been out for a long time now and the only acceptable time for these kinds of changes is pre-release IMO.

Re: Improvements

how cool would double titan mode be 2 per team or rather a main titan mothership and a smaller frigate or something and when you capped a silo you could decide whether the missile hit the frigate or the main

That's what I forgot to mention!!!

There wouldn't just be those titans, there would be transports, cargo ships, and so on. That'd be pretty cool. There could be suprise ambushes, with troops hiding in civilian transport titans.
