Battlefield 2142

ABSOLUTE CR*P! WHAT HAPPENED TO BATTLEFIELD!!!

i did not like the demo one bit! graphics and stuff are nice but the gameplay is dead now. its BF2 rehashed ina year and its still crud , now i like BF 2 but BF2142 disappointing... so gotta go back to bestbuy and my money back for the preorder!

hmm still playing it seems ok so far.

trying to get use to it.

The thing about the demo is that it is a cut down version of the game. It does not show you anything about the customization of the players, which is actually a very big part of this game. But I do agree that if you don’t like Battle Field 2 you will not like this game, unless you’re a mechwarrior freak.

The ideas of the game are good, shame Dice and EA and making it.
BF2 IS fun not doubt about it, regardless of the bugs and exploiters it is modern warfare condensed down into fun gaming.

BF2142 is abit odd in my opinion. Yea I love mechas and I'm a massive sci-fi fan, its just that large scale sci-fi fps doesn't quite see3m right to me. For one I havent yet killed anyone using a handheld soldier weapon. Dont like the recoil effects there and I can't chose any grenades or any of the extra things in the kit selection list.
OK that may be because its a demo but I would've thought with their dire reputation on BF2 Dice and EA would want customers to get a better idea of what they're being offered here.

Have yet to play it with a large number of people, so I'll hae another go an see of the large scale battles are like (Karkand streets are the most unforgiving battle-grounds I've ever come across, aside from Ghost Recon:Advanced Warfight with 3 tanks after you )

i have BF2 and it's cool

but the BF 2142 good

i like it ..!!

I like it.

The sound is what i most liked about. Its great.
All the new deep sounds of the weapons....nice.


The mecha is cool but not useful.

Over all it fells more like mod than a new game but with good BF madness

i would like it if i wasn't one of the people getting disconncts every 3 minutes.

I am surprised this is not being discussed more! I was totally shocked when I read about this yesterday! adware intentionally installed with a game you paid for?? I could see as a new purchasing/marketing model if they made the game free, but a purchaser has already PAID for the game!

If the game was free I would not be angry about it, but I would still not play it because I am offended at the concept of trying to sell me stuff while I play games.

I have been playing the demo and it is okay (although I cannot figure out whey they made grenades and shock paddles unlockable items, that's retarded). I was considering buying BF2142, but now forget it, NEVER. The idea of paying-per-month for a game used to bother me a lot, but at least they are honest and you know how much you're paying and what software you're installing. This is ugly, and disgraceful.

I hope EA completely goes under. I was angry enough at the extremely glitchy BF2, horrible programming and resetting a friend's account 3x without explanation so he could stop doing something wrong he was not aware of.

EA has a warning that modifying this software is a violation of the EULA. If you buy the retail version, there is a white piece of paper inside which tells you about this software being present. Even if hackers found a way around it for every patch after a few months, do you really feel happy buying a game from a company which forces you to take these actions?

I read about them also planning to implement a check when you login to their servers to ensure the adware software is operating properly on your pc, or it will not allow you to login at all (although you could play single player, yay).

Now, imagine if you bought and installed 5-10 games in the future which do the same thing. that would be 5-10 resident adware programs constantly monitoring you and sending data through the internet. would that not bother you? who cares if you find ways around them, don't buy the game for the principle of the thing.

This must be the stupidest thing EA has done. I was ok with the in game advertisement because I really do not care what they advertise, but monitoring where I go online, this is unacceptable, too bad I preordered it at Amazon and now I have to wait to get it and ship it right back.

the EA forums were down yesterday I think it was, and their explanation of why is the bandwidth is being killed by the new BF2142 Beta patch release. Laughable. the bandwidth can be capped for the downloads so it would'nt kill the whole forums, I think they were trying to quiet the extreme backlash from angry consumers on the forums.

I did register on their forums a while back, now I have another reason to post there! Funny it's never a positive reason.

Well got it last night and played it for a few hours, never even seen one advert what so ever. As for the spy ware… there is nothing that runs it’s self on the system and on top of that I am told that all the ‘apparent’ spy ware does is report back to the company that is doing all the advertising about how long you looked at the advert or if you looked at them at all.

Mountain – Molehill

the actual "spyware" is integrated in to thegame, so if u would use a spyware remover like lets say spy sweeper or such it might not detect it, unles theyl make some update, but i doubt it because of the integration

lol just another thing that i like abou tuk lol

its simple m8 just right click on the shortcut to the game insert that without quotes and ur good to go the game will automaticaly change it u dont ned to go to video options i used tha t for the demo

enjoy

are you kidding me?? One of the newest games on the market does not have 1280x1024 support, which is the most commonly used LCD screen resolution now? That blows my mind, what the heck were they thinking??

Good job EA. yet another reason to laugh at them.

amen.

agreed

btw i didnt say "amen" , and in regards to that adrenaline quote i have to agree, bf2142 has more "action" in it than bf2 but i guess thats because of the titan mode, which u have to act in fast, especially when shields are down, and besided its easier to die, (not necesarly easier to kill) in it, compared to bf2

do you work for EA? seriously, your last two posts sounded like advertising.

Anyways, you have not mentioned any bugs? have a look at youtube and see the list of problems and bugs all over the game. walking through walls by shooting them in certain spots, being able to fall into walls from airplanes and still being able to shoot people, being able to get into the titan reactor room without destroying any terminals, titan artillery shot spamming glitch, and the list goes on.

They seem to be totally inept at programming. Plus, the game is obviously incomplete, having put in a small number of maps and just leaving the game totally open for more "booster packs" and expansions to make the game a virtual pay-per-month.

I am terribly sorry natural instinct would dictate to me that you where replying to the post it was directly below.

have they fixed any bugs yet? how many new ones did they introduce with their patches? Have they released a patch yet that randomly crashes servers?

EA makes the most buggy, unfinished code of any game developer.

I have played it, single player and via lan, and also the beta. I found it annoying that basic things like grenades and healthpacks were unlockable items?? I did not find anything which made me want to buy the game and be potentially disappointed.

also, I have a moral issue with buying EA, since a friend of mine had his BF2 account reset something like 4 or 5 times and they would not tell him why. He said the only time he was aware he did something wrong was when he was having fun with some server-wide knife fighting, which of course is seen as exploiting to get the knifing badges, so his first account reset was legit.

I played with him many times, and he was just very good at the game. he was a fantastic helicopter pilot (among the best), and a really amazing squad leader. Yet, he was punished over and over. He kept asking what he's doing wrong so he can stop, and EA said they cannot tell him because people might use that knowledge to abuse exploits. He is'nt getting his rank and unlocks repeatedly reset because he wants to use exploits!!!

After all that, I also read some unbelievable accounts of how EA used to treat their programmers. I understand some changes have been made, but do not know how much they are improved. It does not matter to me, any company that treats their employees like CRAP does not deserve my money, even if they make the BEST products. There was a letter sent in by a programmer's wife to EA and it was published all over the internet about the INSANE hours they were working with NO overtime pay. We're talking LIVING at work 7 days a week for months, with no overtime.

I realize that's a bit of a diversion from the particular game topic at hand, but I feel it's related to any discussion of an EA game. they deserve to burn as a company for so many reasons.

I know my gunner would disagree with that, 49 and 3.. it's just alot of people don't know how to fly them, granted, the AH-1Z was way better (Its hard to flip the gunship back upside right, but it flies good upside down). What sucks is the buggy hit boxes, and buggy SAAW AA portable that won't lock on 30% of the time, where's the challenge in that!

I can't play normal bf2 without getting bored, First sargeant with 8 or 9k points to go to the next rank, or 3k to get to brig general hmm.
