I quit BF2142.

[DutchDude]

I'm quitting. I have had a break for some time now, and I just played ONE game of 2142 and got SICK of it after 5 seconds. i walk, broop broop, dead. Voss. Whatever. I also bought bioshock, which is the best game I have ever played in all my life (which is 18 years, it beats zelda!). That game is unique, as opossed to this bf crap with a patch that is probably going to die as an aold bearded beta patch instead of just being released anytime soon. All I see in this game frustrates me, so i am officially deinstalling 2142 soon. BF2 and BS have my attention now.

You know what bothers me? The devvies had BF2 as an example. They saw what they did well (Vibe, theme, factions, looks) and they saw what they did wrong (jets 'n balance). Then they create a piece of crap like 2142. Don't get me wrong. I enjoyed 2142, but my 2142 memories are blown away by BS/Bf2's awesomeness. I mean, look at variety for an example: bf2 has it all: Tons of vehicles, tons of maps, tons of classes, and all the weird stuff like flashbangs, grappling hooks, tear gas, zip lines, nice n crispy ironsights, way better sounds (the Krylov sounds like the ***** gun it is), MUCH more variety in maps. Seriously MUCH MUCH more. I don't get why they made 2142 so boring compared to BF2. BF2 is like a rollercoaster.. 2142 is like being stuck in a traffic jam.

Anyway, I'll stick around to these forums (ever since I got perma-BANNED from the GameFAQs forums.... bunch of artards), to you know, scream at all the vossies and krylovers ;P

Don't say that... Only game what almost got past Zelda was Super Mario... Not bioshock...

But anyways, good luck with Bioshock...

I risk sounding like a jerk, but why do you think people care if you quit? BF2142 is hardly made up of close knit players.

[Namakan]

The forum players are all close knit.....

I think he just wants to vent his frustrations. BF2142 is a great game but can be very annoying at times. I've been playing since release and racked up way too many hours on the field. Looking for a new game but don't know what's really new and interesting.

Looking forward to Alan Wake and a more story orientated game. (If it ever gets released). A bit like FEAR was.

I have played both and to be honest they are pretty much identical in gameplay and style. Perhaps a deeper comparison can be made by hardcore fans, but I played BF2 for months and I have been playing 2142 for about 6 weeks now. I would say they are pretty similar.

Again, I also don't want to be a jerk but negative posts like this serve only to inflame a non-existent sub-culture of anger over nothing. If you want to "leave" to play another game then go ahead and stop playing, but there is really no need to make such a big deal out of it.

Just get on with your life and move on... err... to the next obsessive FPS (OK, I haven't quite figured that bit out yet)

Heh if I want to vent my frustations then you would have seen quite a different type of message.. I want to show my disappointment... I'm disappointed by the game and by the community. And some of the forum people here know me a little bit (the nade DutchDude might even ring a bell! :O) so I thought I'd make a combination. I'm halfway done with deinstall now... next step is regedit. I might reisnstall when 1.40 comes out but the devs aren't even bothering to give us a SLIGHT update. Hell, even "wups I accidentally deleted the patch ghe ghe ghe" would give us some sort of an indication as to what the hell they are doing at the DICE desk. The devs let me down too.It's really nice that Demize and he other DICE guys check this forum but what's the deal when they haven't showed up in over three weeks? Even topics like "AATN DICE: We want an indication!" are ignored. If you have any form of respect for the people who play your game then you would at least give them an update. They kinda owe us that, I mean we paid for the game and now it seems like it'll be abandoned soon. I think that this will be the last patch for 2142 and I must say that the game sucks with 1.40. Balance might be better but there's still broken weapons like Krylov, PK rockets, Titan guns, smoke radar nades, etc etc. They dumped BF2 just like that (Cos they needed to work on the revolutionary 2142...) so who knows, they might just dump the game anytime soon. Maybe they'll even pull the plug out of the stats servers.

Agreed... I stop playing awhile ago. Heck I didnt even buy BF2142 cause of what happend with BF2. You want to see a bad *** game. Check out Armed Assault. Probably one of the better games out there. Even tho at first you have to learn alittle more. Its TENS times better gameplay then BF2 or 2142. And if you turn off the floating sights you have that good ole FPS feel back again.

That would be Call of Duty 4 I'm not trying to make a big deal out of this but there *might* even be a DICE guy reading this, and he *might* think "crap we gotta mae sure this game won't die when CoD4 and ETQW are released". Cos I think that will happen. Why bother playing 2142 when you've got the awesomeness called CoD/BS?

Oh and there is a huge difference between 2142 and 2, with the main differnece being that 2142 is much more noob friendly. You can grab a gun and get a killing spree the first day you play the game. I played Bf2 a month before I got my first 5 kill-killing streak, and it felt so rewarding. Bad thing about bf2 is that some leet G36E whore can mow down entire squads, but oh well.

Yeah I heard some stuff about the game, but I'm gonna wait for CoD4 :) That game is gonna be kickass!

Yeah, I see what you mean, 2142 had great potential, especially after what they learned from BF2, but it feels like they just didn't put enough effort into it.

Exactly! I don't know what they did down there at DICE but they could've come up with more then this it seems.. I do like the beta patches though, that is a very nice effort. Too bad the the actual patch will not be released but okay...

[=)BiT(=AutoFodder]

I bet if I went to the bf2 forums I'd find a thread by you about how the G36E kills you all the time.

Sorry man but I don't think I'll be upset to see an end to your whining.

[blank1]

Oh man, he's leaving guys. Let's mourn.

Ive got a feeling this game's shelf life is now expiring - well said dutch dude all valid points;I think EA and DICE made some big mistakes with the 2142 project;it could have been the all time greatest imo if it weren't so buggy
