So based on what Ive read: BF2142 is a pretty balanced game?
IMO, yes. Especially in the vehicles vs. person aspect, but maybe that's just Verdun.

BTW just a few questions about tank. Since they dont have coaxial machineguns then does that mean its just plain harder? Especially against infantry?

hey people i did some research on the unlockables and all the tools and weapons of each class.


if i was a betting man in poker, id say that the two classes that are more likely to be whored or abused is

1) assault because of their insane firepower with that voss unlockable rifle and they can heal themselves with med packs. assault seems to be too over powered, they can heal and they got some serious guns

2) recon: that It-33 active cameo is going to turn this game filled with ninjas running around with knives. I think they have the best unlock of all ( level 4 unlock).. that killer sniper rifle that does 100% damage that can kill almost any infantry with one shot, even a chest shot.

i heard a lot about the active cameo, probably the most talked about unlock of the game. I used to play Aliens versus predator 2 online and the predator cloaking is almost infinite, and good to kill marines but not aliens. since aliens can see through the cloaking .

did you actually PLAY the beta? my guess is no. The guns are powerful as shit in the right hands. The right hands being 33 people.

the sniper rifles are hard to use, and snipers are useless in 2142 anyways

The cloak lasts for like 20 seconds, before needing a long recharge time

Yup...

Hovertank:  Shoot main gun, hoping for splash damage, drift the hovertank, F2, wait for long gun setup, fire machine guns for a bit, F1 to go back to main gun.

You're screwed if you are in the tracked tank in tight quarters going up against engineers.


And the APC ain't the killing machine anymore... only useful for podding.

Everyone will defintely TK for the mech.

Not likely if the driver has both personal UAV and vehicle sonar.  I think the engineer homing mine would be more effective here.

snipers are only useless if you dont know how to use them.. and it would not make sense if the recon class is totally useless.

Ok wtf did I just read a one shot kill sniper? Thatll be crazy. OH and what about the aircraft? Can stupid people still be encouraged to waste/whore the Helicopter-Jets? And how are the co-pilot guns? I remember the MEC chopper, its guns could rip soldiers to shreds EVEN if the gunner is half-retarded and aims only at the general direction.

As it stands right now, you can't immelman the choppers.  But I hear they are improving it's maneuvarability, so we'll see.  Rockets are underpowered though, especially against the heavily armored mechs.

What about the guns? Are they mostly like: Hi-explosive splash-damage low ROF type
or: Direct-shot non-explosive high ROF?

Someone else will have to chime on this.  I never got to ride with a good pilot to appreciate the gunner position.  When I was in the attack chopper, I spent most of my time camping the enemy's Titan heli-pad, waiting for transports to take off.  The rockets were too underpowered to waste on armor.

And F2 solo-ing seemed difficult to do, not that I'm any good at it in the first place.

Transport heli guns were pretty good though.

Uh..what? And what about the whole transport whoring? You know using the transport vehicle for yourself and pressing F2 to cammp the fity-cal? Can people still camp with the 50 cal. BTW what is the replacement for the vehicle gunners? Why the hell do they have blue muzzle flashes?

basically the chain gun pre 1.2 in the blackhawk. However, targeting is harder, and unless they're running across an open field you prolly won't see foot troops very well. However if you have a good spotter in your squad on the ground you can clean up targets right and left. (esp if he has the batnet fadedelay or whatever it's called).

Well, it's much harder to medic/supply pack whore now.  Drop'em and wait forever to heal/resupply.  Perfect lure for nading.  Drop'em, move away, and let the enemy come into your trap.

Yeah, nice guns, but lousy visibility.

But can they compare to the ultimate gunner seat? The one from the MEC? Oh and I saw that that trasnport aircraft have active shielding. Does it mean that people can FINALY use squads and land on enemy territory to cap flags? BTW thanks to anyone answering these questions, particularly stryyker.

I guess I'll refrain from answering anymore of your questions, as you are bonded to the hip with Stryyker.

And even though I managed to get almost all the engineer unlocks, and what with losing points from crashes occuring 4 of every 5 games I played, I may not qualify to comment on the beta per Stryykers requirements.

/end sarcasm...
