I was simply curious, as it's been out for some time now, is there much life left in it and will there be for say the next year or so?

I see there are still relatively recent posts on this board, so I rather suspect the game isn't dead; what I'm actually concerned about is it's continued lifetime going forward. Do many of you anticipate migrating to other games soon? If so which? Is there a game in the tactical shooter/action genre that you prefer or would suggest instead (I'm considering Frontlines: Fuel of War, for instance)?

Thank-you in advance for your help, and I may be seeing you on your servers again soon =)

Not as much as there was in the begining, but the playerbase has matured somewhat and the game's following is quite solid. There is plenty of life left in the game. FFOW is a fun single-player game (at least I thought so) but the MP is virtually dead due to a lack of proper squad/CO structure, lack of ingame VOIP, and a horrendous MP server information screen. It is pretty much unplayable.

As for BF2142, I would honestly suggest you try it out. Hop onto TeamSpeak and join the TG BF2142 channel -- we'll find you a TG squad and show you how the game's meant to be played. (Be aware, though, that if TG is your first BF2142 experience, you are being spoiled because most pubbie servers are less fun: TG places an extremely strong exmphasis on teamwork, maturity and tactics. I would even go so far as to suggest that you get your first ten or so ranks on public servers, just so you can fully appreciate what TG offers. )
