IMO, I don't think Dice is making the right decision by making the game another wannabe Halo. But if Battlefield 3 does well, I'll buy it. I think they are too busy working on the next BF that they are forgetting about the BF2 community.

Waw...this is gonna be the crappy version of Halo. I hate Halo and anyone who plays it and says they are amazing at it. Its gonna be USMC vs MEC Aliens vs Chinese and Aliens as allies. Then the booster pac. BF2142: SF, USMC vs MEC Aliens SF, vs Russian Space Troops, vs °é*ç from planet !é£ç$.


NOT COOL

OFN, but thanks fer playin.
:p

I'm actually really looking forward to seeing what they do. BF games have always been about believability, rather than realism. I'd love to see a real sci-fi shooter based on future weapons tech, instead of another Lucus-like sci-fantisy shooter.


No mechs please! Gimmie something based on what war could be like in the future. Huge walking tanks really aren't a practical way fight wars.

I actually doubt I'll even enjoy the game. I like BF2 more as any game right now.

I didn't know about this.

Trust me, when past and present games go futuristic, they start sucking. Im not gonna give any examples cuz I don't have any, they are just gonna be really crappy.

Im not on this forum 24/7, I dont expect anyone to be (Wargimp?)

But you see, theres a thing called the search button. It helps people find if there has already been a topic on what they want to post, use it next time.

That time? You mean last night?
:p

Hehe, umm... yeah.

I'm a future tech buff. I'm also big into real sci-fi. It's almost a dead art these days tho. Everyone conforms to the same old fantisy setting of artificial gravity and jump-drives. Such things are pure fiction as opposed to the great writes of time past that managed to actually predict future technologies.

You know that Auther C Clark is consitered the inventor of the modern sattelite simply because he wrote a story that included mention of them before they existed? http://lakdiva.org/clarke/1945ww/

That's cool.

I'd love to see a game that uses what we've got now combined with current research and real laws of physics to produce something that I could believe in as a possible future of warfare. Still gotta be cool 'n fun 'n stuff.

Simple things go a long way tho.

For example... energy weapons for grunts is unlikely to every be a practical thing. They would require massive powersources to drive 'em. However, it's possible to do neat things with tech we've got. I've theorised about using explosive based slug throwers (firearms) that would contain a highly charged capacitor in the ammuntion. When you blow up a capacitor, you can make a really big spark. Drive that spark through and alluminum or thermite based slug and you'd get a very hot projectial comming out.

This is the science behind a plausable plasma rifle. No magic involved since such a thing could be built (but isn't practical or required in this day and age).

Yeah... I'm a geek.
Couldn't you tell?
