I hear people talking about playing it sometimes, and I'm just curious how many people we could get together to play.
I would play (I dont' have time for ladders but I love hopping on now and then and playing some 2142 )
I think this is a good time to finally throw this bad boy on my laptop and maybe get some shots down range again!!! After I do my homework of course >.<
Still got it here on my shelf, would love to pop it back in and go for a ride with Jay again in one of the battle jeeps. XD
From what I remember, 2142 is actually just a mod over BF2.. so in essence youre saying BF2 is bad too? =P since all that's really different are skins, one play mode and neon tracers. I liked both era's about the same.. but I'm also a fan of zomgbbqlaserbeams!
I tend to disagree... 2142 isnt' just a mod as far as I remember, it's just wasn't a brand new game engine, so it was based on the BF2 engine. Pretty sure I read it was a tweaked version, and as they both preform different on my system that sorta makes sense... It was buggy to start out, but the patches helped a ton and it's fun It's slightly less "sim" like IMO and trades a bit of that for a bit more fun factor where you can take a few hits before ya die... On the other hand I find being a medic in BF2 way easier to rack up points just by tossing tons of med packs around. If I had to rate all the BF games I would put Desert Combat first lol... and then BF2 (with the special forces unlocks) second, then 2142 slightly behind that, but ahead of BF2 without the spec forces unlocks... I didn't play bad company though... 1942 generic is dead last IMO.
Well, tonight I'm going to toss this bad boy on my laptop and see how I can do. I don't have my G7 anymore since it broke so I don't think I will play as well as before.
its just for fun anyways I am not great at these games but I love to play them. (I was 1/2 decent at CS, but I played that a lot from 1.0 to 1.6 or whatever it was before it switched to source ) Should we use Xfire or something? I don't normally log into it, but I could install it I guess. I logged into 2142 last night and played for about 1/2 an hour, but couldn't find a decent server to play on but I tend to like the large servers with lots of people.
Battlefield 2142 is best with a good amount of people for sure. It's not as much of a infantry map tactical game like CoD4. You need people to be effective in 2142. I'm reinstalling it and will be willing to play some time next week.
I would love to play a few games with you guys, I really need a break from all the work I've been doing recently. Maybe I'll be able to join in during some of my free time one night ^_^
ok I will post my xfire account when I get home. (I dont' think I am on anyones friends lists or anything with it )
