Battlefield 2142 Press Release and Screens

Re: Battlefield 2142 Press Release and Screens

Lets be REAL honest here. This is simply a BF2 MOD officially sold as a new game.

The annimations for reloading and running are BF2. That screen shot has the same freaking C4 detonator in the guys hand. Listed specs....64 player maps, ranking, unlocks, commander mode.

Its the SAME game for the love of GOD. Dont get me wrong I bought every single BF game and add on so far..........but this is crazy.

Bring on some POE 2.0 LOVE!!!!!!!!!!! FREE LOVE!!!

Ahmen brother!

I'm not giving EA 1 cent until I'm playing POE or DC for BF2. Enough with the pay crap, I want free mods.

EA has already forgotten why BF1942/Quake1-2-3/HL/HL2 was so popular, free mods!

Re: Battlefield 2142 Press Release and Screens

Well now....

Interesting Game reminds me of C&C: Tiberian Sun. It was fun but hyped up to much for it time. At least it had a new engine.
........

It does really remind me of CnC: Tiberian Sun, which was a good game also. I actually look forward to it, hopefully they wont have as many issues with development as BF2 (not likely.....). Time will tell what happens with this new BF game...

A mod group cant do this... period, there is no multiple bipedal skeleton support in BF2. You cant make more than one soldier skeleton and have a skin for it and play it in the same map, only way to do mechs is with rotational bundles which means you can only have totally flat landscapes or you get tilting which just looks dodgy, plus there is the old AT walk animation that some may remember from Galactic Conquest.

As for no US side, yes is all I can say, as a non US resident (yes there is a whole world out there that aint American) I think its about time every game stopped having US as a side to pander to the wants of the US public (flame if you like, its true).

If DICE want to make a new game with a slightly different team on a slightly revamped engine they why shouldnt they ? Stop whining like kids told they cant have candy. No one said you have to buy it, or even follow the updates.

Its a different era, as mentioned in the game...for all we know the USA may not even exist in 2142. It could be covered in ice. Its not the end of the world if the USA is not in the game (even though I live in the USA), it really doesn't matter. For example, in many of the CnC games (minus the Red Alert Series) there was no US, only GDI and NOD. Battlefield 2142 is sorta following this way with having two collaitions of people fighting each other on a slowly deteriating planet.

Looks like its going to be BF:V revisited.

Re: Battlefield 2142 Press Release and Screens

Ok, so they are releasing a new Battlefield game a year and a half after BF2, whats the big deal? Allot of diffrent game franchises come out every year or year and a half.

Another one that needs to look a calendar...

It hasn't been a year and a half!!

BF2 was released in June 2005 , it's March 2006 fer Chrissakes!


If it actually was a year and a half from the release of BF2 you wouldn't see so many people using forums like this to express their dismay.

Re: Battlefield 2142 Press Release and Screens

at 1.12 and the game was perfect.

give the man a medal. Said this till i was blue in the face. well i actually said it needed tweaked not hit with the hammer used to forge 1.2

To me as many others have said this is BFV for BF2.

I hate to say it but the only thing that can save BF2 for me is the mods. After that its ET:QW that i rest my hopes on for a replacement

Re: Battlefield 2142 Press Release and Screens

I'm not sure why you guys are being so negative about it.


I personally think it will be a lot of fun.
For all you know, they could of been working on this alongside bf2's end when you didn't even know it and it will be better than you think.
I think it will be very fun.
I'm not a mech person myself, but it looks like a lot of fun ot me.
Looks like they've got sharper muzzle flashes, adjusted lighting too, looks a bit sharper as well.
I think most of their animations are all the same because, well they are very good why would you want to change them.
OR
They haven't gotten around to it yet, it has a bit to go before it is actually released!

New maps, Adjusted graphical features, Completely new vehicles, Completely new environments, Completely new weapons, Completely new awards. With all those mechs and hovercraft i'm sure it will leave room for some very interesting gameplay experiences. Note the floating turret, seems like it will be a lot more fun than most of you think.

People fear change, and this is a change. But I fear not of change, and think very positively about this. I am 100% certain that it will be a great game and all of us will come to enjoy it sometime.

Re: Battlefield 2142 Press Release and Screens

Yeah the more i compare and reflect on BF2/EA the more i look to QW's for help.. sure it only goes to 32 but like ET:RTCW it will be objective focused. that means instead of flags planted at various places on the map for no rhyme or reason the battle in QW will be focused in a small area.

Which means of course more fun, i mean RTCW was damn fun, but ET:RTCW was a blast and still is a blast to play. BF2 is falling off my playing chart.. because of lame bugs (mostly the damn UI/Server browser bugs).

To the people that are afraid that ET:QW will be a resouce hog.. i mean BF2 takes 800 megs of memory when its running, its takes an average of 45 seconds to load a damn map... i got 5 bucks QW will load faster and have a smaller foot print on your computer.

If dice wants to revamp the engine do one thing and one thing only GET RID OF THE DISTANCE FOG! Its totally ghey to be flying around at mach 2 in my bomber and the only real way of being able to line up on people is to hope they are in a vehicle.. or i do not have enough time to line up.. The no ghey fog in ET:QW this is the feature i am waiting for.

Only thing i see bad is this is an indication that EA is going to pull support for BF2 quite quickly, i mean we may have 1 or more patches left (if the boo$ter packs need em) but after that everyone would is programming for dice will be working on this inorder to whip it out by december.

my 2 cents :|:

Re: Battlefield 2142 Press Release and Screens

half of the people arent in fear of change but see this for exactly what it is. Its a cash in. its also a slap in the face for those who still cant play BF2 at this moment or those who have been waiting on patchs for bug's that have been in game since the beginning

sure it only goes to 32

it comes 32 but they arent limiting it to that. they havent set a limit. the limit they have said is the Hardware running it. mmmmm 64 and up here we come

Re: Battlefield 2142 Press Release and Screens

Okay, this may all have been stated before but I like talking more than listening

First: Unreal Battlefield 2006
Second: Ice? ice? yeah of course we wouldn't have expected it but still, if it had been rising water levels that would have made much more sense.
Third: I wonder if the red/blue name tag will be gone by then.
Fourth: If I use EA's downloader will this be a new game or just another folder in the BF2 mod directory
Fifth: I wonder what the people at project reality will do to those walkers.

What can they do with nonexistent mechanical creations?

(Sorry, I couldn't resist!)

I don't know, turn it into a uhhh

hmm, good point. Maybe battlefield retarded will turn it into a giant walking d!ldo or something.

Re: Battlefield 2142 Press Release and Screens

I don't like them rushing out this game as much as some others; I like the 'Battlefield Series' and this might be a little too soon to have another release.

Now to the people saying bugs need to be fixed; read through the post a little and you will notice that they are two entirely geographically located development teams. They speak different languages(I think) and it has been repeated over and over. Maybe the other developers may even be better than the currernt development team working on BF2.

Re: Battlefield 2142 Press Release and Screens

For people who are saying things like, "OMG Finish bf2 first plz kthnx." Just remember that they are NOT abandoning Battlefield 2, nor are they taking anyone off the team working on it currently, nor will they ever do that untill the game is perfected. DICE has a totally different team working on 2142. Oh and I think the concept owns.

(Also I don't know how EA can fix BF2, I think it's fine right now except the slight increase in lag.)

EDIT: And Orbit Lord, look at Mech Assault, that wasn't aimed at a young audience, neither is Quake Wars.

You being like the CEO of DICE with your first post. You must know everything.
