The Battlefield: Tiberian Eclipse mod team has announced today that they will after all be switching games. Take a look:

Through the past week and a half our development team has been in constant debate about the status of 2142. It's mod support is non-existent, the graphics aren't fully what we want, the coding aspect is extremely limited on changing things how we want, and the community seems to be dwindling. We have seen other promising mods spend a lot of time making quality projects and yet there seems to be a huge downturn in the number of people playing them only a few weeks after their release. The Solar-Fissure team fears this and will not work so hard and put so much time into something to be overlooked just because of the 'dated' engine we are currently on.
Already we have had word that some people may not have applied to our team because of it. One of our newest applicants admitted he struggled with himself to even apply because, in his words, we were working on an "old" game. I strongly believe this also coincides with our current forum member count. With all the good comments we have received from various sites and the amount of hits we have on our ModDB, a 45 member count on our forums (this includes myself and the rest of the team) seems a bit odd.
This has been a hard decision to come to because I really do like the 2142 engine and game, and it's perfect for our setting. However, there are better options out there for such an ambitious project as the one we currently run on...
So, the plea from those who have asked in multiple areas has been answered. Tiberian Eclipse will no longer find Battlefield 2142 as it's home. Instead, we look to the soon to be released, Crysis.
