Battlefield 2142 is like 2 different things..

[FrieChamp]

I played a couple of rounds yesterday and I must say I quite enjoyed it. It definitely is no quantum leap forward but the futuristic setting gave DICE the opportunity to add some interesting new weapons, gadgets and vehicles. The rank system seems to work nicely again plus all the stuff to equip your soldier with.

I am not sure what to think of the Titan mode yet, I still like to play the flag gamemodes too. Not sure if the game is worth the full price, but it's fun nonetheless.

Small thing but it struck me: The place for the friends list felt very well placed to me, no external buddy list or anything. It's right there in the game menu, not hidden, you see who is online all the time and can easily join up.

Titan mode is the coolest thing ever dude!

Yeah I agree its fun but it sucks to escape the titan in the end.

Ok Im glad you liked it..

Titan mode is a lot of fun (and you can gain a lot of XP playing it), but it's laggy as all hell. Part of the problem is the Titans are pilotable by the commander, meaning the inside play space is constantly moving, meaning all those turrets, shields, and players are constantly being refreshed by the server. Hopefully they'll patch it to account for the lag. I'm still having fun with the game, and I find the new XP system really compliments teamplay behaviors, which I appreciate. If you want to lone wolf it, you can still end up with 20 points a round, but if you guard points, resupply teammates, provide cover fire, and work as a squad, you can end each round with 50-100 points and level up extremely fast.

Oh, and the buddy system works flawlessly. Valve should be feeling a lot of shame right now that they can't get theirs to work.

From what I saw and tried in the demo then I could already see that BF2 had everything I wanted, and this was just fluffy filler. I think almost everybody agrees that this should've been released as an addon :G

Not just that, It should be released as a "sorry-for-screwing-with-our-costumers-in-the-first-place-here's-alittle-FREE-sorry-from -us"

You are a god damned business genius. Quit wasting your superior intellect here. Quickly! You can save the world!

Valve released Lost coast, Splash Damage/ID did Enemy Territory and Monolith F.E.A.R mp and all was FREE. They didnt loose to much money on that afaik. Maybe direct money is the only interest for you, but let me give you an advice: Positive feedback from mouth to mouth can be as rewarding as money in the long run.

and to quote you again

Hopefully they'll patch it to account for the lag.

They will do that right after they fix the bugs in thier game called BF2, you know the game that was released 1 year ago.
