Re: 1.4 beta final released

This should be interesting: EU and PAC troops fighting on U.S. soil. Where's the National Guard?

I wonder if we'll find frozen U.S. troops along the highway...

Hunh? That doesn't make any sense. Why would the US be under water (global warming) and Europe be under a glacier (ice age)? Are these the climate change models for when the earth stops spinning?

The US is further South than Europe, so you'd expect it to generally have less ice then Europe. I mean Gibraltar is about as far north as North Carolina.

The point is though, this is a video game. So EA can do whatever they want. If they wanted to include the US they could have easily done so, it's not like they did an in-depth study of climate change to determine the most realistic story. They just made up junk that sounded good, threw it into the future, made some cool weapons, and created a new game. They were probably planning on doing a US expansion pack but decided not to do it because of poor 2142 preformance.

As for this patch, I agree it's probably the last. 2142 was kinda like BF2 with new skins, new weapons and a few more toys. I don't think it did as well as they hoped, and so now they want to move on and focus on their next money maker.

I know, it seems counter-intuitive, but it has to do with the massive current paths in the ocean carrying warm water from the equator to the west coast of europe. If they get disrupted, the weather pattern will change so drastically that arctic air will get sucked south onto europe, and the sea level near the us will rise almost completely drowning NYC and other low coastal areas.

Also, I could be remembering this completely wrong from an Inconvenient Truth. Anyone remember this part of the lecture?

They're busy posing on the decks of aircraft carriers in a pilot's suit, saying "Mission Accomplished!"

Oh wait, that was just one of them. Never mind.

Re: 1.4 beta final released

.... I can't wait for Battlefield: 1776! I would like to see bunny hoppers survive my Kentucky Flintlock!!

Think about the strategy, the whole marches together and then shoots each other, then runs over there with bayonets! That'll kick butt! Who needs gunships when you got donkey-horses!

Re: 1.4 beta final released

Yes, because BF 2142 has some amazing melee hit-detection.

"Affix bayonets! Charge!"

*Clank*
*Clank*
*Cla-BOOM!*

"15 seconds to respawn"

Or maybe I just suck at knifing.

Don't forget about the awesome ability to steal enemy intel via the "Benedict Arnold UAV".
