Anyone a battlefield player? I know it might not be the style of alot of people but it's got Mechs(in the form of battlewalkers) Tanks(and a hovertank too) Gunships(REALLY badass aircraft if you don't know what a gunship is..) APC's and Massive flying battle cruisers(Titans) Nevermind the infantry shoot/blowing each other up...
What's not to like? What more could you honestly ask of a wargame? Anyone else play? what's your prefered Kit and weapon? or favorite map and vehicles? Personally I'm always either assault or sniper....Baur and Zeller ftw! and Battlewalker owns all other vehicles O.>
you can catch me on the knights of freedom server if you have it mf BF name is KoF Darshia

Re: BattleField 2142
I played Battlefield 2 and Battlefield 2142. Personally I don't see a reason for Battlefield 2142 being a whole separate game. It's basically just a mod for BF2. I've seen mods with just as many changes, if not more changes than Battlefield 2142 being freely distributed over the net for BF1942 and BF2 (like the Star Wars mod). Consequently I didn't buy a copy of BF2142. It's just not worth the money.
Re: BattleField 2142
Maybe if you're a BF2 vet but I skipped BF2 and went straight to 2142 and haven't regretted it. I'm a fan of infantry heavy maps like Camp Gibralter, Cebere Landing, and Fall of Berlin, and they give you some pretty nice gadgets once you rank up and unlock some things. Like support kits infantry scanner, Engineers vehicle scanner Motion mines that actively seek out and destroy vehicles once something gets close enough and if I ever get around to buying the 10$ northern strike expansion the new assault lines game mode looks pretty fun and the newer maps seem to be more of a balance between infantry and vehicles.
I don't know what they give you in BF2 but I did hear they did alot of expansions before it got to that point. I don't think that'll be repeated with 2142 since EA actually is against doing that all over again. I would like to see some water maps though but I guess that'd be impossible with the storyline of most of the world freezing over lol.

Re: BattleField 2142
i got the bf2142 demo as soon as the public one was out and played it solidly for a few days, then havent played it since T_T
i LOVE piloting the heli jet things, especially the transport one, transporting playings from silo to silo and avoiding everything and thne picking them pack up etc
then i usually tend to rape the enemy titan as soon as its shields are down. if ours are down quite a bit ahead of theirs, i usually end up being the only one trying to defened ours. it's damn annoying when the other players dont give a damn about defending our titan and we end up loosing easily because of that :/
i played bf2 as well, but again, not in ages :/
great games though

Re: BattleField 2142
I only have the demo of 2142, but I'm still a BF2 fan, myself. I agree that 2142 is more of a mod than anything, but I thought Titan mode, at least in the demo, was pretty addictive. I'm still playing BF2, though.
Re: BattleField 2142
Titan mode has gotten huge there's all kinds of strategies involving Transports, I like sitting in one with the SAAW anti air and launching rockets at enemy gunships protecting the transport, the troops inside and helping out allied gunships clearing the skies for them to rain a hail of missiles down on enemy tanks and walkers.
As for titan defense yeah there's still times where people are stupid and don't go defend by the logic of 'someone else will do it'
though when people DO defend it's a real pain to break through the defenses to get to the consoles and eventually the reactor....with all the mines, det packs, and Sentry guns strewn about in an elaborate maze of death. which is another reason I always carry my zeller H sniper rifle when i'm on recon...with the zeller(and only the zeller as far as I know) you can shoot and destroy mines, det packs, and sentry guns in one shot. course you could just go engineer with the removal tool but then if someone runs up on you you don't have a gun out to defend yourself and you die x.x
for those of you playing Bf2 have you run into anyone from Knights of freedom? that's my clan alot of guys play both Bf2 and 2142.
