If you want to call 2142, then every thing on the Unreal engines, Quake engines is a mod too.EntertaineR_06 wrote:
No. It runs on the same engine, it doesn't mean it is the same game. It is not a simple mod, that is evident by the fact that there is a new game mode, new coding involved in the titans (albeit done badly), new interface, new unlock/rank system, which a simple mod could not incorporate without having access to the initial game code (well, a couple could but most couldn't )
There isn't actually any set of boundaries as to what a mod can or can't be. There are loose terms that can be applied however, and after looking at this resource:EntertaineR_06 wrote:

it could be said that BF2142 is a total conversion mod.

99% of all pc games are mods then how many games have been made using the unreal engine/doom engine hell games on consoles are being made using these engines are they mods too?iNeedUrFace4Soup wrote:
Yeah, same engine, modified. = mod.

The engine wasn't so heavily modified that I would consider it a new engine. There are games made with the same engine as another game and you wouldn't even know unless someone told you.mavrick 3399 wrote:
