Re: Really no incentive anymore

I switch between two or three games of different genre,

so for First Person Shooter, I go BFBC2. For Tactical games, I go Command and Conquer Tiberium Series Red Alert Series and Empire Total War.

Re: Really no incentive anymore

I always played video games a lot, it's my number one hobby even though I didn't played a lot of games this last years (I buy maybe one game per year). I spent a lot of time on BF2 and mods (less on 2142) and the game wasn't boring like BC2. And if Project Reality didn't become so slow I would still playing this mod, it was like a BF2++ (huge maps, huge possibilites and huge teamwork). You even had destructibles buildings on some maps.

Re: Really no incentive anymore

184 hrs of gameplay in 60 days would make most games seem boring. Is there no other hobbies for fun or other games to play?

Ha, well I work from home, and am currently crippled (broken leg/ankle + complications), so in general my only break from work is gaming, and my only break from gaming is work! (and sleep lol).

But I can remember playing games like Bf2 and 2142 excessively and even after mammoth sessions playing them games, I always felt I could go back for more if physically possible!

Re: Really no incentive anymore

Where do you guys get all this time to play? And I thought I was addicted! Some people play this game more than I sleep.

I want my BF "epicness" back! That 200 ticket battles for 64 v 64 games.

For 64v64 (128p), the ticket number needs to be raised to 400-800 per round. That would be definitely epic. We are talking about company level at that scale.

Re: Really no incentive anymore

I didn't care for the game to begin with. It's great on console and a lot of fun but just not my cup of tea on pc. I am positive APB will fill my void of no good game to play until and after BF3 is released.

APB might be a different type of game but it's basically an entire new genre. It's still got an FPS feel to it and it is loads of fun. It might not be an army type game but damn it's fun.

Re: Really no incentive anymore

For one major problem I see with BFBC2 is the short game.

Once one side gains momentum, it will continue to do so. If one side is suddenly losing terribly, players will leave. Then it's another 16 v 10 kind of game.

That ruins it.

Where BF2 and BF2142, there are so many options available to turn the tide of battle. There's attack choppers, stealthy flanking manuevers (karkand), tanks, and decent cover for players to enjoy.

Re: Really no incentive anymore

you have 7 days and 16 hours in the game, take a freaking break. Almost double my time and i have been playing since it came out. Playing 8-10 hours a day would burn anyone out.

Re: Really no incentive anymore

I'm through buying anymore FPS for the time being and will wait until BF3 comes out. If the players that have bought BF3 can give it legimate positive views after the first month then I will probably be a buyer. No more MoH, COD etc. etc. I will still play BC2 but it is getting stale and repetitive.

I doubt that BF3 will roll out before the end of next year. DICE is working on MoH MP, Mirror's Edge 2 and possbily BC3 as well. After all, BC series is their best cash cow right now.

I will highly likely to buy Crysis 2, COD7 and MoH all from later this year to next year, but COD7 will probably be the last COD I'll ever play. Crysis 2 will definitely steal the wow at the end of the year. As for MoH, it will be just another intermediate step toward BF3. They say it will not be another BC2, and probably will be a bit more toward the direction of realism and player customization.

As for the game play, BC2 has it all. BF2142 NS reached the zenith of gameplay, but BF2 gets more logevity due to more and better content. Boy Conquest Assault with Goliath is undescriptibly fun. BC2 is very limited in terms of content. Just a handful of vehicles, small maps, limited player freedom made this game quite repetitive very soon. The elements for good game is all there in BC2.

It is highly likely that the server program of BC2 is still very buggy and cannot deal with large player count. After all, it is already overstretched with 32p. Having played on some low player count games, the difference is amazing. In order to handle large player count, they have to reprogram from ground up to utilize the power of current and nextgen server tech.

Re: Really no incentive anymore

Casual gamer, I play what I feel like.

There's no "urge" to jump in BFBC2 and frag for 6 hours, where I had that in BF2142. BF2142 was just fun, titan was fun, knifing was fun, gunship was my favorite, assault class, maps, oh man! A reason why I played for 3 years.

BFBC2 well, lacks the tactical element, just a bunch of guys rushing in the meat grinder and a little bit of deathmatch, not so much of BF2 teamwork.

I'll be on Command and Conquer series if anyone needs me :)

Re: Really no incentive anymore

I guess that I'll lose my incentive to play this game after rank 30.

Every game gets old eventually. Soon you'll be coughing up money for new MoH, Crysis 2 and COD7 later this year.

Still need to resharpen your skill every now and then.
