Will there be a BF 2143?

No these people were just idiots plain and simple. If a person can't figure out how to play 2142 after a few days then they have an IQ of 0

No they werent idiots. Its just that it was different from every other Battlefield game. The future aside, DICE changed a lot of stuff like:

1. No air domination. There were too many weapons to defeat the slower gunships. Walkers had AA and all vehicles had active defense. Titans had AA and cannons. Engis had heat sinking missles. They didnt work until patch 1.4, but still. Only the best pilots dominated.
2. Kits. Four kits that had these strange options to turn a sniper into recon or a medic into support or assault into uber-assault, all with strange gadgets also.
3. Unlocks. WHAT? I cant have a complete kit? Thats nuts.
4. Spawn on SL or beacon only. WHAT??? Insanity.
5. Titan mode. I think Lordsethonan covered that well. It was strange. Some liked it, some didnt.

It was just a lot of change. Now that BC1 and 2 also had some of these adjustments, it wont seem so dramatic for BF3. Yes, you can complain about it all you want, there are going to be some of these in BF3. Deep down, we all know it.

So anyway, its not that people were stupid, it was just different. Its what I call CS syndrome. Game is fun, but its not Counter Strike, going back to what I know.

Possibly, titan fights are not as straightforward as conquest as there are "too many" variables for a match since you can win by disabling the shields and assaulting the consoles; to just blowing the thing off from the ground.

I think very few people realized that it wasn't enough to bring the shields down, you had to also protect a number of silos on the ground to ensure your own shields wouldn't get depleted fast. And there is the litle advertised fact that you can turn missiles around by capturing the silo that launched it.

Re: Will there be a BF 2143?

Not sure. Ive seen a lot of them. I also read the tweets on a number of Dev pages about how they would like to make another 2142 with frostbite. The only problem 2142 had was that it was really balanced and they made the game too complicated for many. People wanted to jet rape and couldnt and others didnt understand the tech trees or objectives in titan mode.

What I am looking forward to is seeing the comments about BF3 after the beta and final release.

Yea, I've seen a lot of dev tweets saying they want to revist. 2142 didn't receive bad scores, they have a metacritic rating in the 80s i think.

Re: Will there be a BF 2143?

anybody read the bach interview recently where he pretty much called 2142 a failure? he singles it out for the fact it didn't get high review scores like BF2 or 1942 and pretty much insinuates they won't revisit it.

Re: Will there be a BF 2143?

Yeah, the battles ranged a few years apart. What muffinmn said was correct. Its like 1942 maps were not all battles only in 1942. 1943 had frostbite, BF3 will have frostbite, 2153 can have frostbite. It doesnt matter.

Re: Will there be a BF 2143?

Re: Will there be a BF 2143?

Re: Will there be a BF 2143?

hell yes, Id throw money at them to get a 2143

I know lots of, well not sure what they were beyond that, but BF2 players (annoyed ones I guess) QQ'd over the whole idea but dam 2142 was simply ****ing immense

Re: Will there be a BF 2143?

I think people are just saying 2143 to associate it with 2142 and be an upgrade version. Bf2 -> Bf3

Yeah, but 2142 is a year, not a sequel number. well Im just going crazy over nothing really... Im bored...

Re: Will there be a BF 2143?

It should never be called "2143" though. More like 2200 to move things forward. I want a Battlefield game with space combat (some mods have proven it can be amazing) and DESTRUCTION 3.0 on capital ships' hull panels (vacuming marines to space) and destructible ship subsystems affecting their function.

Thats what I keep saying! 2143 is too little of a move. Though personally I reckon it should be more "2158" or something.
