I'm curious how the battle mechs are to control. Oh and tell us more about Titan mode and whether you think it will replace conquest mode.

SWEET you got in! I was too late :( I join servers through Xfire and was too lazy to load the game by itself and go to their website. But, I figured if it appears on the menu screen...it's too late LOL.

It runs pretty smoothly (unlike BF2).

The support class gun mows 'em down nicely. :cool:

I think I'll pass on buying it, however.

you can probably control them like tanks. i mean, you can go in any direction, but it's not like you have arms to deal with, just turrets and direction.

Why :confused:

Hmm seems a lot like BF2 which I'm not all that found of. I find myself going back to DC again. Maybe Quake Wars will be different. I find the BF2 interface very cluttered and 2142 has the same feel to me.

I'll pass.

Why :confused:


Maybe it was just the map I played, but it wasn't action-oriented enough. Also, you seem to die a lot more simply from the way the game is setup; e.g., a pilot bails on you, and you drop instantly to the ground and die.

The way medic and resupplying is done is hokey and incovenient. You throw a resupply box down and it makes a weird explosion noise. Then you have to wait a while before you can drop another.


It's comparable to BF2 in a lot of ways, but it lacks the fun factor for me.

What in the BF2 interface don't you like?

By the way, 2142 has the same "There is a problem with your connection" crash bug as BF2. :mad:

I ran into a lot of 'You must be running the same version as the server' - probably half the servers I tried gave me this message.

P.S. I HATE the limited run time for infantry. I was hoping they would eliminate that in 2142.

The mercs mod has no limits on run time..the maps are awesome as well as the weapons.
New maps pretty much every week ;)

Looks like using the same engine gave the hackers a jumpstart :( :

Not much. I was at least expecting something better than BF2 though.

I thought it was pretty cool w/ the "alien's"-like drop ships and some of the player upgrading... granted only one map and it is still a beta copy. One thing I did do this weekend is I tried Point of Existence Mod for BF2... WOW... its awesome... I love the weapons and the maps... check it out if you want a good mod for bf2...

Hmm, I noticed that they'll give BF2 players an instant promotion, an ingame BF2 veteran identifier, and a special audio taunt.

Almost makes me want to buy it now. :D

actually it's not really gold...apparently the latest build that they think is done was sent to final qa and assuming there's no showstopper bugs then it'll be released...

you know usually games that pass final qa get the status of gold...but I guess in ea's case just sending it to final qa achieves that status...
