Battlefield 2142

Q: Will the security measures in the forthcoming BF2 patch be implemented into 2142? Are there ANY coming updates?

A: Yes, Battlefield 2142 Update 1.51 is currently in the works and addresses security additions that Battlefield 2 has. Battlefield 2142 1.50 currently has account verification to prevent name/ID spoofing built into it.

Q: DICE is noted in the community for its imaginative games such as BF2 and Mirrors Edge. How do you encourage developers to be creative?

A: Everyone at DICE is already creative in their own ways which is why we work here! DICE is very supportive of everyone’s creativity even to the point that every week time is set aside for everyone at DICE to come up with their own game and put them forward to management. Who knows, a game that gets released in the future could have originated from an idea thought up during this process.

The cool office doesn’t hurt the creativity either.

Q: Do you believe modding groups such as the Sir. Community, Project Reality and Forgotten Hope have had a positive impact on the Battlefield series?

A: The modding community has been a massive boost to Battlefield over the years and the work they all do is great to see. We have worked with modding groups in the past and even been proud to release Battlefield 2142 content officially from Jason Brice and The Sir. Community. The modding community is an area we would like to support more in the future.

Scroll down past the first picture for the 2142 info.

Edit: Ugh, Cooling just beat me to it - posted at the same time!

A: Definitely. Its going to be an awesome year.

When I thought the interview was done I unexpectedly found out that DICE had a bomb to drop on me. I was taken to the previously mentioned LAN gaming room where we started up Battlefield 2. A new map will be released with the Battlefield 2 1.5 patch. Also, the same map (albeit in a slightly different context) will be released for Battlefield 2142 in the coming 1.51 patch. Although DICE currently is unable to release the name of the map, (the old name was recently leaked but has been changed) I was allowed to spend 30 minutes playing and taking screenshots of both the BF2 and 2142 versions.

hmm. 3 APC's 2 Tanks and 4 FAV's. And I'm assuming that's only in the UCB. I doubt it will be a winner.

Mac users will yet again have to wait 3 months for their version of the patch.

Urban / Armor mix maps have a grat potential. Think of "Road to Jalalala" in BF2. had lots of tanks but deeper into the city they almost got useless. kinda like the Cerbere Walker has a rly hard time nowadays

this looks really cool. I thought DICE had forgotten about BF2. Guess not!

**DrBeat** · 12-17-2008, 11:58 AM

I'm slightly surprised myself. Add another patch to the reinstall list!

**Dictate** · 12-17-2008, 12:04 PM

New map looks pretty solid.
Hopefully this 2142 patch will solve some of the stability issues too.

How many patches have we been asking for that?

Oh well.

I too will be praying for some stability fixes.

**Anospa** · 12-17-2008, 12:22 PM

Well, this is interesting...

Doesn't look too foggy, and hopefully won't have as many chokepoints by the looks of the flag setup, could be fun stuff!

**oniell121** · 12-17-2008, 12:22 PM

I hope so too. But we shall see....sometime before I die of old age I hope...

The hints about this patch; what few they were; have been around for a little while. I am just surprised that not many people caught onto it. It was pretty hard for me to not say much about it. But I do not have to anymore.

The new map does look like it will be good.

About the Mac version. I hope that it is not going to take as long as the last one did. I will have to ask Bazajaytee about that and see what he says. I hope that they release it at the same time. I did send him a message already seeing if he will officially mention the fix for the AA now that the patch news is out. Hopefully he will update my thread on it in the UK forums like he hinted to it.

Any ways I am looking forward to seeing how you all do on this new map. You battles are great on other maps and I am sure that your battles here will be even better. Plus it gives you all a chance to find some new tactics and strategies as this map is new. Their is nothing like jumping into a new map for the first time trying to learn it. Especially with a good team.
