BF2142 has no fear over Crysis

[onehitah]

ho and also if your a bunny hopper you will be in your element with crysis..

poop! Still getting it, but boo.

[Tetris L]

The three big things that make me play BF2142:

1) Great teamwork incentives with the NetBat system, the squad leader and commander system. I have yet to see an other FPS game with better teamwork tools.

2) Real persistent characters with persistent ranks, awards and unlocks. Both Crysis and ET:QW have unlocks, but only for one round. The upcoming UT3 won't have any at all.

3) Fun vehicles with easy controls (the core feature of the whole Battlefield series)

The next game in line that may be better or equal regarding these three features is CoD4.

What i don't get is how come everyone was saying that they were done with Battlefield and EA but raving about Crysis when it's another EA game.

M'eh. Talk is cheap. If I had a dollar for every time somebody made a bombastic, righteous declaration of never buying another BF or EA product again, and then actually stuck to it, I could finance the next BF game single-handedly. :laugh:

I admit that I'd be happier if Crytek found another publisher.

I didn't get to read the whole thread, but I noticed the opposite--- crysis requires a LOT of teamwork compared to 2142.. what it lacks is better methods of team communication that 2142 has

I agree. Power struggle is a lot more complicated than just capturing certain areas.

[HEFO]

U cant match BF 2142 and Crysis, Crysis is a nextgen shooter OMG, BF2142 is +1 year old!

And Crytek has a (i think) free hand about the game, not like DICE when they F***ED UP the whole game...

I'm not messing w/ Crysis unless there is an open multiplayer beta or a multiplayer demo. So far it's just been a bunch of worthless money grubbing from the suckers over at fileplanet. Fileplanet sucks and so do developers who use it for closed betas, end of discussion.

[gamefoo]

just seen the crysis beta and i must say its dissapointing... the gfx are awsome the physics is good but there is no teamwork... its like bf2142 but everyone being a lone wolf. and if your enemy is moving when your shooting at him.. forget it you have as much chance of killing him as you do a titan gunner lol.. I was thinking of moving onto this game but not now.. lets see what cod4 brings..

So in BF2142 everyone plays in squads? Ha...

BTW Crysis is going to be awesome.

your stubborness has cost you a chance at the beta, as you probably dont know the beta has been an open beta for a while but its closed now... yea i got it from fileplanet but wait i didnt spend a penny on my account.. they must have robbed me blind lol ho i forgot end of discussion

not everyone works in squad but i do and a lot of bf2142 players do and thats part of the fun with bf2142

Crysis has a lot going for it. I hope that it does not require as much teamwork as QW though. Unless you have friends working with you, its hard getting some support with GQ Public.

I will wait for demos and see then.

As you probably don't know, the beta was open for all of 10 seconds. I was told it was open, immediately went to get a key and I was already too slow. I did manage to download the file thinking they might release more keys later though. I also check FP daily to see if the Crysis beta or the FFoW beta have been opened up. After they generated some hype it went back to being closed again and it is still closed as of this writing.

Your ignorant sarcasm cements your stupidity, end of discussion.

[The_Eliminator]

Sorry VT nerd but i was told about the open beta then 4 days later got my internet connection, still managed to get a key and download it.

"All 10 seconds is completly wrong".

Weird, I got sent a Crysis Beta invitation last week, I don't remember applying for it and definately would not pay for it. I've got it installed but have yet to try it as TF2, First Strike and Project Reality are already taking a heavy toll on my free time.

Haven't put any time into ET:QW as I'm not a Quaker. But I loved CoD1 multiplayer and one has high hopes for the forth iteration.

Oh and by the way the tag for games to be Battlefield killers is nothing but a cliche.

The only true 'Battlefield killer' is time which marches on and kills all games eventually.

This has VERY little to do with how old the game technology is. The battlefield game series is a major success because of fun gameplay, not because of eye candy graphics and fancy effects. Hell, BF2142 looks like utter CRAP, yet I still prefer to play it rather than one of those games with advanced graphics engines but crappy gameplay.
