battlefield 2142

[Duff-e]

Yeah I know it's a beta and an expansion but what do you think? 2142 > bf2?

The mechs make it for me....everything else is who cares. I also like how the new hover tanks can kind of like skid into corners and stuff. Prettttttyyyyyy neeatttttttt

Not played it, but it looks like it plays extremely similarly to BF2 from what I've seen in videos. And that's a good thing in my opinion.

While I loved BF2, I've grown bored of the modern military theme and I think heading into the sci-fi realm is just what's needed to reinvigorate my interest. While I'm not as bothered about the mechs as most, just using futuristic equipment that isn't all delicate and fancy like you often see really appeals to me.

BTW, are there any laser tanks? Clearly that's what you want.

[Duff-e]

there are mounted defense laser guns...not sure about any tanks that fire lasers though

I'm a huge Battlefield fan, but this one doesn't do anything for me. I think the entire thing is really messed up and doesn't feel very thought through, and in general it feels more like something that could've been an addon for BF2 than an actual stand alone game.

I think them going Sci-fi could be cool, but this just doesnt do it.

But I'm gonna play it some more before I totally make up my mind.

I played a little bit, but I dont know if I like it yet or not. When I played it was very hectic and not very...organized in terms of gameplay and team work. I'll have to sit down and actualy play a couple of hours before I decide if I buy it or not.

It's basically a mod. To call it an independent game is preposterous.

[von*ferret]

I wouldn't go that far, the gameplay is different. Time will tell.

[Kreigore]

MOD or not, I still enjoy it

It's basically a mod. To call it an independent game is preposterous.

Just because a game uses the same engine as another game doesnt mean its a mod.

[Squirrelly]

It uses over 60% of the same content, so I'd consider it a mod.

Once again, Mazy hits the nail on its head

[Grinwhrl]

I like it, reminds me of tribes Is there a commander any more? Didnt see the feature. Kinda sucks if not.

I didnt see anything related to Bf2 in there, so I dont know where you get 60% unless your speaking ab out controls, and movement, animations, etc. So so much content though in my opinion.

[DanielAragon]

tanks can strafe

[ctswin]

I played the beta at i28, i didn't really like it, but i guess the people playing bf2 will fall.. maybe quake wars whatever will be the next one to play.

[Tequila]

I'll wait for something new in Quake Wars. They just haven't changed enough to warrant spending my money.
