Battlefield 2142 Confirmed

Re: Battlefield 2142 Confirmed

Looks like just a mod of the BF2 engine with support for mechs.

Knowing EA, that's probably what it will be. Complete with 100 bugs at launch! :)

Re: Battlefield 2142 Confirmed

That's EA's way, they hardcode everything so mod teams can't make super mods, and they use those hardcoded things to make crappy things we have to pay for.

Re: Battlefield 2142 Confirmed

"cloaking devices" hmm why not call it noob base camper that can't be seen. I guess the idea about going to the future is ok with me, but im not HUGE "o i can't wait for it to come out" fan, really i could care less. It might be something i get or leave behind. The maps better be huge !

Re: Battlefield 2142 Confirmed

Planetside has mechs and invisibility for snipers, and you can go play that right now if you wish. It also has hover vehicles like in the video. Infact, it seems particularly similar! EA ripping off other games features!? Never.

Re: Battlefield 2142 Confirmed

Ok, that's the first and last time I'm ever gonna mod an EA game.
I'm just gonna finish up my work at Eve of Destruction and then find a better engine to mod.
I'm sick of this **** with them always making a new game when we're in the middle of modding the other game.
****ers!

I’m not flaming you, I admire people who take the time, a lot of time, to make a free mod for everyone to play but I doubt a mod on BF2 would fair very well, people are addicted to the rank/stat/weapon unlock system that EA created, after you released your mod people would probably give it a glance over and be back to their stat tracking ways, again just my observation, I could be wrong.

Boycotting DICE because they’re making another game with the BF2 engine right away is silly; if it were another company licensing the BF2 engine tech and making 2142 would it upset you too? Think of all the games that are made with the Unreal engine, would someone boycott those too because there were people hard at work on UT2004 mods? I don’t think so.

People who are into semi-realistic war game experience will stick with BF2, this is just an alternative to Quake Wars/UT2007 (edit and planetside *cough* $14.95 a month).

Re: Battlefield 2142 Confirmed

I never for a moment wanted BF to go into the future, I'd like to know where they got this impression from the community.

Well, lets wait and see, but my initial impressions on how EA is pumping out BF games is very negative.

Also, why didn't they call it BF3? BF2142 is a ridiculous thing to have to type, almost as bad as UT2007. Infact it is as bad.

Where else would they go? They did WWII, they did Vietnam, they did modern warfare.. Do you expect them to go back in time now?... They are keeping the pattern
BF2142 is basicly what BFV was to BF42, they release a game, make 2 expansion, and release a new game with the same engine and slightly better graphics and no expansions, then afterwords release the sequel, so after BF2142 would be BF3.
Basicly it's like this:
BF1942
BF1942: Road to Rome
BF1942: Secret Weapons of WWII
BF Vietnam
BF2
BF2:SF
BF2:EF
BF2:AF (the boosters together count as one expansion since they are $10)
BF2142
BF3

I am excited about this and will be buying it.

edit: oh yeah now just because another FUTURISTIC game has hover vehicles other games cant because its copying.. wtf else are they going to put in if its supposed to be FUTURISTIC, I've seen other games have cloaks too, I dont get how its copying since these are just typical things for futuristic games

and i mean for that to sound with the most respect possible, i see some people to tend to find how I say things to be offensive, maybe its just how I type.. But this is my little anti-flame shield

It's partially modder's fault for wanting to release what seems to be TC's a year later after the game is released. You could've just released your mod in smaller increments after 6 months and had a solid fanbase by now that would've kept playing your mod after QW and BF 2142 are released. As it stands now, by the time EOD and other big name mods are released, BF 2142 will be out along with QW, UT 2007, and Prey.

Re: Battlefield 2142 Confirmed

We as hardcore bf2 fans/war sim fans can look at this one of two ways.

1. The stake in the heart of the BF2 community that will slowly bleed the fan base to a hundred people online at a time.

or
2. A cleansing of the BF2 communtiy that will move all the whiners and kiddies on to the next hyped up game leaving BF2 to the people who enjoy squad play and team work in a modern setting.
I am hoping and praying for option 2! All in all i cant see picking up bf2142 for 50 bucks...just not that big on the future thing.

Yes I understand what you're saying. But the Battlefield franchise has always based itself in reality, even if it was an arcade style game. The weapons and vehicles were realisticly modeled for WW2 and Vietnam, and BF2. Now, we're moving into total fiction. It doesn't feel right, it doesn't switch me on I'm afraid.

Yes of course they can use ideas that have been in other games, I'm just pointing out that they exist in other games. In the community update the author is blatently pushing their new games features as something revolutionary, which it is not.

Oh and yes, I also wouldn't be surprised to see a proper sequel, BF3, after this game. On a new engine and with the game setting "back in time". There are no rules here, what's wrong with going back rather than forward? A lot of people round here wanted DICE to remake BF1942 on a new engine, I think that would be great.
