i dont get it, why do so many ppl act like 2142 is "just a mod"?
i dont think ive heard/seen any mods with a totally new unlocking system, cuts down and combines the classes, creates vehicles with new controls (ie hover tanks and the new aircraft) and in general vamps up not just the game but the entire system it sits on.
oh ya, can't forget about titan mode. has any mod ever changed the entire point of playing? (from owning all flags and slowly killing off the enemy to sending the enemy "mothership" to hell?)

then again, maybe their ARE mods out their like that and im just dumb as a rock, care to enlighten me?

But half of the people on this site say it is only a mod of bf2, go figure. I definitly agree with the O.P about this, Bf2142 has definitly changed enough and has fixed so much to be called its own game.

2142 uses the same engine as Battlefield 2, but not the same codes/models/textures. It is a NEW GAME, not a modification.

have you ever played any mods for other games than bf2? because there are actually quite a few mods to other games that add gametypes and vehicles, even mods to add stats systems to non stat supporting games. anybody ever play the swat mod for cod1? that was more of a new game than bf2142 was, but i still enjoy BF2142, and while it isnt a mod, there are many mods that do a better job than it does

Alot of code has been reused from BF2 so the game is less buggy, expensive and didn't take as long to make. However the gameplay is different enough from BF2 that it is (barely) a new game.

Also titan is barely a new gametype, the only new part of it is titan attack and defense which is just a way to sit back and earn massive amounts of points from titan defender pins, i got 98 of them in the last 3 weeks of december. Conquest has gotten old, considering how its been in 4 very similar and increasingly noobish games, i will always like 1942 best, but i will always play the latest purely because thats what all my friends play.

Oh yes. Think how many mods would Quake 3 have, if the engine thingy would count...

Return to Castle Wolfenstien, Jedi Knight II, Call of Duty.

Also then Half-Life would be a Quake mod because the HL engine was just a heavily modified Quake engine.

-It uses the same engine as BF2

-All the coding models and unlocks could be implemented into a BF2 mod because they use the same BF2 engine, though granted the graphics in 2142 are slightly better due to the way the engine is utilized I believe.

-The class and unlock system is not hard to change at all if you are already making a new mod and have the resources for a master server than can handle an intense amount of stats. (that EA will never give any sites access to)

-new controls...lawlz. You can play a mod like POE2 and have completely different vehicles like arty, and I know someone who made a custom map for BF2 that had a UFO in it, that you could fly and shoot with completely different controls.

-Titan mode is just another mod, there were a ton on 1942 if I remember right and we were promised many more for BF2, like supply lines and even a basic capture the flag. More EA bullshit about stuff that didn't make it into the actual game.

-The HL engine is to some degree just a mod of Quake, but as you said they seriously delved into the engine there. I would call it more like a cousin or uncle rather than a brother.

In summary, 2142 is based on the same engine, style of game play, ranking system, and class system as BF2, just modifying it to make it run better/more stable. I'm not saying this is bad, but I would even go so far as to say much of the biggest fixes made from BF2 to BF2142 could have been fixed in a heavy patch for BF2.

Agreed, people say its a mod because most of the stuff in it could be made with a mod.

no, because the engine isnt the game, therefore just using the engine does not mean it is a mod. a mod is a modification of a game made using modding software such like the bf2 editor for bf2. Quake 4 was not made with the doom 3 editor and therefore is not a mod. BF2142 was not made with the bf2 editor, and therefore is also not a mod. an engine is basic code used to set the foundation of a game, engines are reused to save time and effort.

They just use the same engine, that's the only common the most have upset about BF2142 and BF2. Where gameplay is the same.
