To me, it was pretty nice to return to wide, open teambased battles after a long break from RTCW:ET (mainly because there were no more good servers to play on). BF2142 will hold me well until Quake Wars releases next year.

First, the b****ing.

No unlocks make me sad. At least put like... 3 unlock points so people can muck around. Vehicles and campers are ownage in the demo since not many things can take them down easily, save for well-placed rockets and other vehicles. No EMP nades/mines, no C4. And no Frag Nades, so Titan assaults when lots of people are hunkered in is pretty crap.

Inside Titan battles are still lagfests. Warping everywhere.
I need to get used to the hit detection of this game. Random spraying: teh owned by proning people. And flying needs some getting used to.

The good thing: It's goddamn fun thumbup.gif

Titan wont be jerky is the comander will just stop moving it.
bf2142 never spray and pray cause the cone is too much bigger compared to bf2
if possible use single shot unless your carrying the LMG , then its
Press Buttan recive kills

I always have this problem of people killing me with ARs even when we both prone at the same time.

And i'm using an AR as well.

AR - Assault Rifle

from what little gameplay "moments" that I got, I got a very strong impression that I am playing as GDI in Command and Conquer, but fighting some other army besides NOD, oh and no tiberium. Like an alternate C&C future laugh.gif The flying ships remind me of the orca, and the titan is like a Kodiak.

That's cool!

learning to master the Recon class. its a pain, especially when there's walkers , apcs, and tanks, oh my!

the map is freaking huge, (for a 32 player map) and blah, while walking, barely can find any humans in sight.

chances are the titan will shoot my ass off. laugh.gif

Its fun to camp right on top of the tower right next to Silo 4. or was it 2? Anyway, even as Assault I got a 5 kill streak defending the silo from enemies, just sniping them with single shots. A tank got me though :/
Tried with Recon and pretty much got the same results.

Getting sniped in this game is kinda frustrating, since the area is so huge you have NO idea where the sniper is, unless someone places an UAV or happens to see the sniper. I did knife one in the back though. Good times.

after always getting kill when both using same weapon, now i always aim for the head haha, need to learn to fire in control burst instead of spraying with the assault rifle though

the gun emplacement near the silo is fun to use, took out tank, 2 jeep, that's bout 8 kills since the tank was carrying 3 person n 1 jeep had 2 person in just a short span of time

atm the walker are a pain to take out, coz we can't unlock any emp grenades in the demo, onli try out the walker in conquest mode, a bit disorienting at first, they should just let u press a key to center the turret and body, instead of having to turn manually

still dunno how to fly the gunship and dropship, usually just crash haha

overall very fun game, i especially like the titan mode. usually if my team titan shield is down i just camp at the entry point and take thm down as they drop from the pod biggrin.gif

pods are to board the titan and also dive from transport ships
currently 3 vehicles have pods which are transport choppers , apc and the titan itself

pods from the Apc since beta 2 can only jump really high near the titan

it's near the gunnery area in the titan. Look for doors that has a symbol on them then enter and press use or something. Haven't reached there yet.

I'm not very impressed with this demo.

One of the main letdowns to me is they completely left out the unlocks.FFS,just a few unlocks on the demo wouldnt hurt their sales at all.

The demo is laggy,even playing on a singapore server with a double digit and one of the lowest ping in the whole server,at some point it feels like playing on a server with 300 ping+.The game stutters like hell while inside the titan.

Another big wtf is the APC.
In 2007,it could go from the land straight to the middle of the ocean(waves doesnt exist in BF2)
135 years later,
"How Do i Failed Swimming? ¯\( ¯A¯)/¯"
I nearly cried when the hovertank dive straight into the water and blew up.

Unlike BF2,this demo failed to convince me to get the full game.
