    well it's a more fast paced shooter than 2142 and it has better GFX IMO.

      hmm... i think i'd recommend you to stick with playing SF only. Vanilla maps aren't as well designed and tend to encourage grenade spamming. The grapple hooks and zipline in SF allows you to avoid chokepoints. There aren't any airplane maps in SF so you don't need to worry about their grief and maps that have helicopters usually have AA vehicles to help "try" to balance things out.

      Oh... and watch out for the artillery, grapple hook wall glitchers, and jihad rambos on quad bikes

        Well technically they are equal but BF2 maps are visually much more appaling. 2142 has extremely boring maps (cough karkand and berlin cough)

          2142 has kinda been getting on my nerves for one reason : Voss. Everyone uses it. It becomes boring when almost everyone uses the Voss on a 64 man server.

          Does BF2 have an OPed weapon? Say, the G36E? Does everyone use it?

          Also, is BF2 better than 2142 in any way?
          if you want to mate i know bf2142 does get boring.

            So very much of this game is BF2++, if you know what I mean. BF2142 is BF2 and more. So, if you love this game, you might very well like BF2.

            However, your approach and mental state is important. BF2 plays a little differently. I'd advise seeking the differences so that you can learn to appreciate them instead of despise them.

            I really enjoyed BF2, SF and it's expansions. SF has some of the best infantry combat ever. Fantastic. I like tanks and helos and the Armored Fury expansion has those vehicles in large numbers on gorgeous maps with great gameplay. It's always fun to battle for the 'homeland' and everything, too. The jets are fun to fly on the Euro Forces expansion, as well as the AA is fun to shoot those jets down. The shear number of maps and mods for BF2 make it a truly worthwhile game purchase.


            I recommend picking up the version listed below. It consolidates everything on one DVD. :yay:

              Hey great, Newegg! Oh wait, I'm in Russia :laugh:

              Actually, we have that complete collection here too. It costs less than on Newegg, lol - 20$. Problem is, I wasted all my money on an Iriver X20...

                  PR is a LOT of fun, it's very realistic but the community is incrdibly hostile vs new players o.0 I was a asniper (and being able to snipe targets at 700m, AWESOME) and everyone was yelling at me cos I was doing this and that wrong, when I asked them "Would you like some whine with that?!" they replied with"drop dead nub". I then proceeded to do some fine sniping ignoring my team.

                    Probably because you were being a noob, leeching assets from squads that actually work together, whereas you were being a lone wolf sn1per.

                    As for the game itself, its a mixed bag.. the teamplay potential is much higher than with the vanilla games, and there is alot less lame stuff going on like grenade spam, roadkillers and jihadists. My only real problem with the game is that the rifles are so inaccurate.

                      I was making an assumption that you had an APO/FPO addresss. Sometimes I'm wrong...

                      Does Newegg.com deliver to APO or FPO addresses?
                      Yes, we deliver to APO/FPO addresses. APO/FPO orders are shipped by the United States Postal Service and usually take one to two business days to process and, once shipped, five to ten working days to deliver. However, Newegg.com cannot control delivery time. Some APO/FPO orders may require 6-8 weeks of lead time.

                        Sorry, but what the hell's an APO/NPO address?

                          I've fallen into the "assume" trap.

                          APO/FPOs are state-side ZIP codes assigned to foreign lands where folks in service can have their items shipped to and then that location forwards the mail/package to the final destination. If you're not in government or military service, you'll probably not have an APO or FPO.

                          I saw your Moscow address and just made that assumption. My bad.

                            No worries man, thanks for giving me a link in case I did have an APO address.

                            I might buy BF2 when I get some green

                              I thought of playing BF2 again and so I've installed it...

                              And after I realized I finally got demoted to BG (my 2142 soldier) makes me want to seriously rank my BF2 soldier up again
