They'll probably drop the entire 21.. name. I Imagine they'll make a futuristic game with similarities to 2142 like titan mode. They really need something new, there should be aircraft that can fly fast like jets but hover like choppers when wanted.

I certainly hope there is a sequel to 2142. Would be so epic on the Frostbite 2 engine. What I really want to see, though, is the kind of variety in vehicles, weapons, and gadgets in a 2142 sequel that we have in BF3.

For example, it would be awesome to have heavy tanks and light tanks, the heavy walkers from 2142 and light/ scout walkers, etc. And a plethora of different weapons would be a nice improvement.

However, any way you slice it, 2142 with destruction and full view distance (no fog of war) would be awesome.

Many of us hope so as well, but those EA people dont know jack, even if he was in the cube next to him.

Re: Will there be a BF 2143?

Well i do believe that the forums could have a little bit more of "battlefield" into the recepy

I think we may have lost Redfield.

What I don't know is if this is a good or bad thing.

Do you think he feels joining CSN have castrated TGN forum abilities and are we now noobified ? Maybe it was the new achievements.

No, I think he just hasnt been by in a while. He does come and go.

I thought the blend of future and current was perfect.

You mean the disjointed aspects and items taken from random popular science fiction media? Vehicles which "looked" sci-fi, but played like neutered versions of previous Battlefield games? Even when we take infantry only into consideration, there was no unified "this makes sense in 2142" arsenal. Except for rectangular scopes... oh wait...

Re: Will there be a BF 2143?

there were some ridiculous things though like infantry sonar and active countermeasures. the guns that shot bullets for the most part were good. PK rockets turned into the most spammy cheese weapon of all time and ability to carry upto 3 nades and quick resupplying made a lot of the really well made infantry maps play horrible. they could've made very little changes that could've made 2142 so much better but they totally didn't give it the attention it needed. for one, explosives should always cause self damage like in BC2 even with ff off to prevent RDX abusers.

2142 for me was just like any other BF game and it played like it for me. i enjoyed it a lot, as i enjoyed the previous BF games. i think they all had good and bad things about them but i like them all equally.

Re: Will there be a BF 2143?

i remember when the game was still in testing, one of the developers (who's name i do not remember) made a comment about that. he was saying how it was futuristic, but not w/ a bunch of lasers. they wanted to keep real bullets to retain an effect of realism w/ a touch of the future.

I remember that comment.

Except that instead it looks like something without connection to real life (realistic functionality) or fiction (unforeseeable future tech). In this case, it's comparable to UT2004. There are vehicles. And weapons with rectangular scopes.

Re: Will there be a BF 2143?

What? Haha!

I was specific about DICE not using science fiction to it's fullest. I have absolutely no problems with "the future" aspect of it. Flying spaceships, pods and robots are all fine and dandy, until you realize that walking robots didn't really feel to be packing a punch, their weaponry was entirely conventional and even silly-looking-feeling, spacestations were OK and I liked the pods, though. A few certain cool items does not a good game make, though.

Re: Will there be a BF 2143?

Hmmm, this has been a very discussed topic. I think there lays the answer.

Re: Will there be a BF 2143?

What I meant to say was you went into the part that I wasnt even covering. That is, the part you didnt like, the lack of in-depth sci-fi.

I still agree with you and you cant make me change my mind on that.

Crunch

Hah!

I don't want to mislead you, though. By sci-fi, I don't mean 3000 years into the future kind of unconventional warfare. But the games aspects felt like a bit changed or neutered BF2 counterparts.
