Don't jinx it.
I am a cripple haha! Nah, I think 2142 is more a game you play casually and not religiously like so many did BF2. I think there's a lot less to explore in 2142 than there was/is in BF2.AmbassadorofPain wrote:

I uninstalled it again after 4 rounds.
Despite trying desperately, I couldn't remember why I wasted about 1500 hours on that game on several accounts.
Especially infantrywise, the only thing I could still be interested in in BF2, they nerfed the whole game so badly, comparing it to 2142, you feel almost like a cripple or as if you were playing in slow-mo.
I'm sure I won't be playing 2142 for 1300 hours, but right now I tend to say 2142 is the better game: it looks better, it sounds better, it plays better.
The first one is a good point that'll definitely be true for me. I doubt I'll be spending much time on the game after, say, christmas. I got my Brig Gen meanwhile, nothing left to unlock and I'm just not interested in getting all expert badges, so there's not much point in keeping on playing.EntertaineR_06 wrote:

very well said. i agree completely. finishing in 150 hours is crazy short. in bf2 i have about 230 and i havent hit 20000 yet. i kind of agree on being burned out from them. i think when spore comes out next year, bf2142 may sit on the back burner awhile.AmbassadorofPain wrote:

However, personally, I don't really think there was much to explore in BF2 for me either and looking at the simple fact that S@K is by far the BF2 community's most-played map, I think the "curiosity" and "desire to explore" isn't that large in most players either. Unless of course you consider the wish to get new weapon unlocks to be "curiosity". After all, DICE's experiments with expansions (SF) or booster packs (AF, EF) miserably failed. If people would actually be interested in exploring the game, those expansions would have been more successful, looking at the number of servers and active, regular players, not just sales.
People kept playing to rack up points for their promotions and unlocks, the majority didn't try to discover new ways of playing or exploring different aspects of the game.
As said, I think 2142 is the better game for various reasons. DICE just made one major mistake regarding long-time motivation: they didn't create any. You rank up quite qickly, you discover how to quickly get points for promotions and thereby unlocks, so you'll be done with the game quite fast.
I am not sure about the addictive potential of 2142. I personally think I have just arrived at some sort of "gaming burnout" after the time I wasted on BF2, so I am not really able to judge if 2142 is indeed less addictive or if it is just me who's less easy to attract.
