BF 2142 is a definite no for me, it looks like a remake of mechassault, and quakewars looks 10x better.
Back to BF
1) They're going to rush it out just like they did with BF2 and it's going to have more bugs than a $50 apartment.
2) The storyline is shit, and a good game takes a good storyline, because a good storyline means devoted development teams.
3) They're going to try and make millions of dollars on it, then send all of the guys in upper management and tier 1 programing to the bahamas. Expect the first patch to be delayed many months (as in bf2) and to make more problems than it solves, if it solves any.
4) They are going to make you pay a $200 or more monthly fee for servers to "protect the ranking system," thats bull. The game should be about fun, not getting the best tank whore award (Or mech warrior whore award). You should be able to just start your own online game from your server running in the garage whenever the hell you want to.
5) BFV, CS, COD, all are better, why? Because they don't have ranking systems that encourage spawn rape and vehicle whoring. Also, those ranking systems don't hinder the public. Steam encouraged modders and map makers, and that's what made it great. EA said "No, you play our maps, you pay for our servers, we don't let you do shit."
6) We already played mechassault, yeah, it was fun, but this looks like something 10 year olds are going to be playing, not something enticing to adults.

Also, the black hawk in the bf2 trailor had missles on it, and there were time bombs, where are they in game play? The quakewars video shows you what it is, not what they want you to think it is.
