I played the Battlefield Series because it's not like Quake 4 or UT2kx...

Maybe thats our future, so is growing old and getting fake teeth... doesnt mean I like to play grandpa just now.

Modern Warfare to a certain extend is okay, but I dont want BF to turn into an UT or Ghost Recon.
I'll stick to BF2 as long as possible.

Nonetheless I wouldn't say it performes worse than BF2, only that this isnt for me.

I think that the new 2142 look's quite promising, to be honest i am looking forward to a break from BF2, but I am still planning to play BF2 aswell as the new one.

hey i just thought of something. we can always buy both.
is it REALLY a battle of which is better? I've been thinking about it.

I think that Quake Wars will have better netcode since, and that the ships/vehicles will have working displays that auctually display something useful, something that BF never had. QW will definately have all the quake fans playing. The maps seem to be just as big or maybe even bigger than BF2142 maps are, but the graphics seem to be pretty high, meaning people  will have to upgrade their computers since i believe that BF2 is a pretty versitile engine.

Other than the Titan mode, I think it will be worse than BF2, but we'll see.

2142 looks like EA's answer to Quake Wars.  I'll have a better opinion of 2142 once I play it.  Same with Quake Wars.

Titan Mode's looking more and more like the Death Star deal.  You've got to destroy the shields, get inside, then destroy a couple other things before you can destroy the generator.  Sounds pretty much like Return of the Jedi.  I'm not sure I like the concept at this point.

Other than that, 2142's out too soon.  Maybe the Q3 '07 would have been a bit more reasonable but I, like some others, don't like that they're coming out with it so soon when it will end up competing with BF2 for users.

I'm a huge battlefield fan...been playing since 1942 came out..the reason i like this game so much is for the historical factor of alot of it..also game play, i'm not into Halo or any of that crap, its just not realistic,,,,they should have stuck with real weapons/vehicles,,,,no,, screw all that NEW RANKED MAPS for bf2...i would have been more happy with that instead of the retarded euroforces/specialforces must pay to play addon, i mean we all paid 50$ plus internet fees, and paid for high end computers they just WANT MORE MONEY!!!! I plan on this beeing the last BF game i purchase in a long time. They constantly nerf it for the NOOBS, and i remember back when we waited over a year waiting on this game it came out then we had BUGS, and needed patches and patches after patches, just doesnt amuse me anymore i'm sticking with this game and dont plan on buying the new one when it comes out in 3 years, lol.
Yea that's one thing most people forget about, is forking over $600 dollars just so you can get a video card to run BF2 at 30 fps in all situations. Video games are so frusterating when there is lag, and there are so many sources of it

Anyway, while we have gotten great mileage out of BF2 - I'm at like 7 cents per hour, I still played Desert Combat and Counter-Strike much much much much much more than BF2. So it is not like other games can't offer top quality for cost - people making the argument that it is only 50 bucks have to remember, that while yes it is cheap relatively, there is a competitive market out there, and those dollars can always go elsewhere.

I'm absolutely pissed off at this 2142 crap, and I honestly hope it bombs to hell and teaches EA that they need to spend more time releasing a game properly instead of "Betafield 2."

I think most people play BF series for semi-realism/historical accuracy and the combination of first-person shooter and vehicles. All of the whining in BF2 has disrupted both aspects of vehicles and first-person play. It is important to release a game with everything well thought out in advance. Changing too many things after a game is released, encourages whining to change more and more, and soon we have a game of whiney babies complaining about everything and EA sadly listening to whoever cries most (including their own staff). Rather, the better solution is to just release the game and fix bugs, and release new content to keep the community interested.

Remember when the trial was out? Everyone played Oman and loved it. No whiney babies, everyone just enjoying the game. Vehicles and all. Then all the patches started coming out, and various factions started popping up of people complaining for this and complaining for that. It has become like lobbying the government for action on issues, and it is frankly disruptive to enjoying the game as a community. If few changes were made, the community would just have to accept things the way they are and play the game it was meant to be played. Not crying for changes - nerfing the game that people came to love in the beggining.

Leave well enough alone and fix the @#$@ bugs and release new content. It is an extremely simple formula proven again and again by other games and their communities! People love new toys, not major changes to vehicle or infantry systems to appease a loud (but small) community of cry babies!

That is all!

Let's see:

-DICE suddenly starts developing 2142

-Why does this game get more game modes than BF2, the supposedly revolutionary sequel to BF1942?

-If EA expects us to fork over good cash for it, then the game better be 100x better than BF2. Otherwise, they've lost all respect I have for them and I'll move back to Counter-Strike:Source. Valve actually cares about their fucking community unlike The Fourth Reich.

Looks like a HALO impersonation, or Battlefront. In my opinion. Am I gonna get it? Hell yeah! Am I gonna put vBF2 on the back burner..no. To me playing Mechwarriors is only fun for so long, the realism just isn't the same. The Medals and points are gonna be bogus. But hey we already deal with bogus things in vBF2. I support all Battlefield Series. My community will endure all of them and play all of them evenly. EF was a bust, but I still play it as a different map scenerio.

Worse than BF2. It's not a bad game, but it's so full of flaws it's not worth the buy for me. Now.
