Mid August there was one poll created (http://forums.bf2s.com/viewtopic.php?id=39931) where people where asked if they were going to buy Battlefield 2142.

Meanwhile both open Betas are over and even the Demo Version (Finished product with less features) is released and everybody is able to get an insight view into Battlefield 2142.

Now i want to know from you guys, do you intend to buy BF 2142? And if yes or no, why did you make this decision?

I played the Beta and now the Demo version and i'm sure that i'm not going to buy 2142 because it's to newbfriendly and does only require skill to use the hover tank and the TV missiles. Playing infantry - and that's the biggest part of the game - is boring and very slow.

But i would like to thank BF2142 for one thing, it shows what a really amazing game BF2 is!

after about 5-6 hours of the demo gameplay I feel:

i agree its WAY to newbfriendly and the only thing that takes skill is the hover tank and the point and shoot missle thing for the doragon or whatever its called

but remember infantry is super slow because you cant unlock the upgrade to the sprint.... and believe me i seen some guy today in the demo kinda prone spamming/bunny hopping  manouvers and was quite hard to kill

the guns we have are shit...horrible accuracy....hell when i get hit by sometimes i have no idea where the guy is if he is more than 30 feet away i have no idea where the hell the bullets are coming from it needs a better player hit detection system like bf2 where you have the red lines where it shows the general direction where the shot came from... well not the hit detction u know more like the damage awareness that bf2 has

still the hover tanks are still kind of easy i went a whole round of conquest today without dying in a 50 man server..... after about 6 months or so i still havent gone a whole round without dying in a round in bf2 (unless i was commanding or the other team sucked ass and we capped all the flags in 2 minutes)

there is way too many stationary base defenses...at least in this demo map anyway i went a whole round just defending the harbor flag on conquest (northeast silo on titan) and i defended the flag all by myself with just one of these defenses only dying once because i didnt repair the AA/Antivehicle emp pulse thing after a tank came and tried to take the flag

the learning curve for this game is very very short and gameplay is way too slowpaced for my liking
c'mon now i want something thats going to challenge me when i play a video game.... not something where i can pretty much master flying/tanks mechs in just a few short hours

thast what makes bf2 so great
hell i have just about 500 hours playing bf2 and within the last 200 hours or so i have just learnt how to fly helos respectivly...dont even get to me on the jets in bf2 i still suck ass after playing the game for that long///tanks are quite easy but i cant go a whole round without getting screwed by a bunch of at guys

one thing i do like though is how smooth everthing looks and theskins of all the people and the guns look really good not much lag (except for this one server i was one the lag was horrible)  loads up really fast
and looks very smooth and polished

damn i didnt meen to write this much
anyway unless ea decides to make things harder and not so newbfriendly then i will probably not buy it... hahha on another note i knifed one of my clanmates and got his dogtags nothin beats this thats pure ownage!!!!!

its kinda fun but it didnt bring the same feeling like the first time i played bf2 online and was OMG this is the best fuckin game i have ever played in my life theres no way im gettin up or away from this computer in the next 12 hours

Edit: a shit load of spelling mistakes

Indeed, but the sticky is obsolete because it was pre-beta and pre-demo therefore only based on videos and pictures provided by EA.

well I have'nt decided if I should buy the game for knifing only because thats the only thing I really like. and the fact that it's a change from BF2, although I think BF2 is better than 2142 because there are just to many vehicles in 2142.

If you want your soldier to run quicker go to costimize kit take off your heavy body armor. Makes you faster but you can die faster.

No.

Why buy it? Because it's new? BF2 and POE2 are both better and funner. There's no reason to buy something when I have 2 other things that are both superior.

I really think that more people would have decided to get the game if:

A) Some other vehicles were included:
1) Jet Planes
2) Mobile AA
3) A heavy car class
4) Boats

B) The maps had more unique models.
1) From what I have seen from Verdun and Sidi Powerplant, it seems that they share ALOT of the same    models, making the maps sorta boring.

C) There was another faction.
1) Only two factions is just boring
    a) every BF game has had more than 2 factions
        1) BF1942: US, UK, USSR, GER, JAPAN, CANADA, ITALY
        2) BFV: USN, US AMRY, US MARINES, NVA, VIETCONG, ARVN
        3) BF2: US, MEC, PLA, RUSSIA, CHECHNYA, INSURGENTS, UK SAS, MEC:SF, USN SEALS,
    b) In BF2142 they could have included American, African, and South American factions.   

Thats all i got for now.

I will not be buying it.  I played during the beta test and can't say I was all that impressed.  I will continue to play BF2 until something different or better comes out.

I preordered it before the demo...

maybe a big mistake, but wth... ill see.
tbh... bf2 started with 3 factions... but SF and the Boosterpacks gave the other 6.
bf2 started out with US, MEC, PLA

although i agree with you that 2 is way too less...

But one thing that i think is better fixed is the ranking... although it sucks to have 43 ranks and 40 unlocks...you need like 232000 points to get all the unlocks, thats crazyness... in bf2 im still having 15000... they should have made it like 43 ranks and 30 unlocks or something...

and the demo does suck...i shouldnt have preordered if i played it first. but a demo without unlocks... its not fun... its only tanks and engineers...

Sigh...heaven forbid DICE make it so that new players can pilot a vehicle without having to spend hours in empty servers like I did when I was learning to fly in BF2. If your upset that players can put an end to your rape parties, why don't you just say it? Yes, its frustrating that I can no longer grab a chopper and rape a base for the entire game.

actually, it DOES have the red line thingy. And the guns are actually pretty good if you practice. Especially the PAC assault rifle. I've gotten multiple 80+ point rounds defending the titan with that rifle.

I notice a lot of players are seeming to have difficulty with the hovertank, making them easy rail cannon fodder. Its definately more a finess vehicle, which is kind of nice for you, because you seem to have a more egalitarain view of the game. I do enjoy the fact that the hovertank is much harder to hit with weapons.

The extra base defenses...eh. They are good, and they aren't good. It depends. Lets say for example, I'm in a dropship trying to take that flag. Land? Fuck that, I'll launch pod out of the ship, land on your turret, shoot/kill you, and attemt to cap the flag. Hopefully the bobcat will still be there and I can use its gun while capping. To the same effect, If I was IN the turret, I would attempt to shoot down the dropship and depending on its appoach, I would either stay in and  shoot it down, or get out and prepare to intercept drop pods.

I like that though in a multiplayer game. You want your teammates to be adept right? remember, this is a multiplayer team game. Your not Rambo.

power to you. I suck at tanks, I don't care for them too much. I'm alright in jets and pretty decent in choppers.
