Do you like the bf2142 concept?

Re: what idiot out there likes this bf2142 idea....

2142 doesnt seem to be as good a game as BF2 or '42, but it might come close. It looks alright, not brilliant, and I've always wondered how they could implement Mechs without screwing up the whole balance of the game. They're also releasing it WAAAAYYYYYYY too early. Personally, BF2 isn't going to get old for a long time. They should release it in Fall '07.

I like it. It seems like a next logical step forward. Doesnt seem too promising visually right now, but the concept is acceptable.

What the Frig?

How the hell can you tell? We've got almost NO real information on the game.

Sometimes people just amaze me with their abilities to pass judgement without knowing anything at all about the issues at hand.

One good thing that could come of it: if they're using the same engine maybe they'll get most of the remaining bugs out before releasing it. (New bugs will be introduced in the new text files of course, but those can be bypassed or fixed by mods, unlike the engine itself.) Otherwise, I'd probably stick with UT or id engine games for SF. If BF2 was a far future game I'd be playing UT2004 and Quake4 right now along with BF42/DC, BF42/BG42, and BF42/BF1918 instead of BF2.

He's most likely basing it on the assumption of the game playing the same as previous BF games in a different environment.

In all honesty Wargimp, and I know its all speculation, but do you personally see BF2142 offering anything in the gameplay department radically different? I can almost guess the bulletpoints on the back of the box for this game:
*10 (or thereabouts) maps in 22nd century ruins and other environments
*Pilot mechs, hovertanks, and air vehicles
*Play in squads with VOIP
*5 different player classes including the new fandagled "cloaking class"
*Capture and defend flags
*Online ranking system with unlocks
*Slow map load times, incorrect player tag colors, random crashes, and many other frustrating features

And that will most likely be the beginning and end of it, mark my words. If they are unlikely to listen to fans about what war theatre they prefer playing in, they sure as hell are unlikely to make any radical changes to the gameplay. It'll be as desirable as BF:V was in comparison to BF:42 (i.e poorly balanced, not as popular, and quickly abandoned).

I think it is cool-but honestly, I'm not a huge space game fan---I'll probably play it-but BF2 all the way for me

Doom III engine came out earlier than BF2 engine, and I am not especially fond of it.

Concept definition;- something conceived in the mind

BF2142 is far from being a concept. We've seen far too many mech games already and i never thought they sold that well in the west anyway. Japan maybe but not hear!! They could turn it around however if they made it like transformers Robots in disguise :P
This Bf2142 is such a rehashed genre that is being made solely to compete with quake wars. I hope this really is a prank/ april fools joke. BF is dead, long live QW.

Ever hear of MechAssault? It was an XBOX best seller. As far as I know the MechWarrior games did well too.

Re: what idiot out there likes this bf2142 idea....

Anyone remember the poll they had on the BF2 EA site for "where do you want the battlefield series to go next"? From memory the future was the lowest ranking response, and I think a Russian conflict or something only 20 years in the future was the most popular (maybe even a return to WWII).

Yeah I remember that, I was going to mention it myself. I think you are right about future scoring the lowest, it was either that or "Fantasy setting". Both of those were way at the bottom. What exactly is the point of asking for community input if you aren't going to listen anyway? Not to mention that since the poll was just this past fall, they were probably already working on this retarded BF2142 garbage. In most game franchises work on the "next" title begins before the "current" title even hits shelves, so it is more than likely that they already had decided where they were going with the next one before the poll. Like others have said, it was the realistic settings of the Battlefield series that made it attractive. Thanks but no thanks on this future crap, if I wanted that I would be playing Quake or Unreal.

On the upside, when this is released it should get rid of most of the A.D.D. kiddies that plague BF2 at the moment. They will have to rush off to play the new game to satisfy their gnat like attention spans, and in their absence the BF2 community can only get better. It's not like BF2 will die the day this heaping pile is released, and I imagine that those of us who stay behind will see our enjoyment of the game increase ten fold with far fewer retards around.

You dont read much they are not useing the Doom 3 engine, it may be based on it but its certently not the doom 3 engine considering what th ET:QW engine is capable of.

Re: what idiot out there likes this bf2142 idea....

I dont even really have a problem with what there doing but why now? Why so soon? Look at how long bf42 and BFV were out. Years after, people that never had the game were still buying it. They need to give bf2 a chance to grow. After bf2 I wont ever play any other bf2 game if its like 2142 anyway. I honestly think by April 1st this will all be an April fools joke. All this controversy and mixed opinions. I might just be in denial that they would be so stupid but ya never know.
