the game is hardly even out yet. I'd give them time to get things smoothed out. Besides it's not like they can't patch it afterwards. Sure there are complaints but majority out there is very happy with the game. That's all that matters, at least as far as they are concerned I think.
The map loads a LOT faster than BF2 for me! I like the futuristic GDI theme. The whole idea that lasers are not very implemented is because Dice did not want to alienate the bullet loving BF2 fans. I am happy that they still mainly used bullets. Games that used plasma and all that energy weapon just turns me off somehow. They lack the pin sharp feeling of traditional bullets. Arties are cool too. Besides it is just a demo. With later upgrades (or patch) maybe there are higher tech arties (baby blackhole, H-Bomb) , who knows? |

well, i think the map loading is still the same as bf2. feels faster when the maps loading for the 2,3,4... time maybe due its already cache in memory (since its loading the same map again & again). but the first time loading feels the same for me.
as for the game, even though i prefer bf2, there is still nothing much wrong with bf2142. the control / graphics / performance is okay for me. played on GA with 3 digits but i didnt find it that much difficult to walk in d titan. walking in an aircraft carrier in bf1942 is much more challenging. i do think there will be more ppl that will like this game. & i can feel there will be a national compy for the game.. let just pray for it (but i still prefer they having bf2 tourney QUOTE(HMMaster @ Oct 9 2006, 08:50 PM) that page is so tak aci. i just read someone post a good points (& shows that the reviewer sux big time) & minutes later, his post was deleted/removed.This post has been edited by crestfallen: Oct 10 2006, 07:21 AM |

QUOTE If you see a "2" next to a player's name, this means they are veterans from Battlefield 2. So, either be extra careful around those vets, or go after them extra hard to welcome them to the future. (30) QUOTE Any kills following your Squad Leader's attack or defend orders will generate a bonus score. (29) QUOTE Squad Leaders will climb the ranks faster if they have a habit of issuing tactically correct orders. The same is true for Commanders. (38) QUOTE Squad members will gain from carrying out their Squad Leaders' orders. Each kill while following orders will count in the pursuit of the next rank. (39) QUOTE Visual disturbances and electronic sounds might be signs of a Recon soldier using the IT-33 Active Camouflage in your immediate vicinity. Use an EMP grenade to reveal them. (60) QUOTE As the commander, your job is to settle for nothing less than total victory. Therefore your score is based solely on the performance of your team. You will also receive a substantial bonus for winning. (97) QUOTE Some of the ranked servers are Rank Restricted. Only players with the first 10 ranks can join games on these servers.

It's also less harder on my system resources than BF2 although the requirements are higher. And if you played BF2 for the Xbox360, you'll notice that the coding for it is one of the best for the Xbox360 games. Most probably they optimized BF2142 although Dice is saying the game engine is totally new but contains some BF2 coding. |

at this moment after trying the demo twice.i dont feel like buying the game yet and very dissapointed.the game is sooo laggy. im running on p4 2.4C at 3.0 with 1.2gb ram and 6600gt, i'm lagging like hell!can't even shoot anything or even admire the graphic. i even set the the lowest setting with 800x600 res.still lag like hell and it took me nearly 10 mins to load a map....nevermind...at this moment i'll just enjoy my pre ordered NFS Carbon. good luck EA!

There is a glitch apparently, u can somehow fly the troop transport ship upwards underneath a moving titan and it will end up inside the main loading bay. I haven't tried it myself but there are reports that it has happened. Some say it is hard to reproduce. some say no. Anyway Dice better fix that up pronto!
