Battlefield 2142 info going around

perry · 03-20-2006, 07:10 PM

Was going to post this in the BF2 forum, but figured it may appeal to more than just BF2 players..

Thread, in particular this post with pictures of a magazine article and this post with text from an unknown source (same magazine?). Also, a preview video was linked in the thread and can be seen here.

Whatta ya think?

that looks amazing. I going to go out on a limb and say its basically a mod for BF2. The graphics looked the same and even the music was the same. Looks cool though

Apparently each base class will have two subclasses to choose from, such as support going engineer or medic. And you can develop the class "RPG style" as you progress, with a more extensive ranking system like BF2's.

Blaaaaaaaah This is the one thing I hate about BF2. FPS's should never have rpg elements. Everyone should have the same weapons and abilities and its your tactical or twitch skills that should separate you from the rest of the pack, not playtime. Thankfully TG saved the day in BF2 and I hope they do the same in this game.

yah should have put this in the bf2 forum

There is still a serious lack of cover. There’s also mechs and some menacing looking aircraft. I’m thinking those are really bad signs for infantry. I did see an invisible man running around so maybe cover is moot.

I hope this is a mod. I don't believe an entirely multiplayer game could take the constant stress of fracturing the community so often.

Well it's only going to be an year before Battlefield 2142 comes out? Battlefield 1942 lasted a good 2 year before Vietnam..

Hmm, looks damn cool to me. I'm pumped.

That is a trailer for Battlefield 2142.

I think that the invisible man was a sniper, or whatever the sniper equivalent is in that game. Also, it's based on the BF2 engine so it'll be a completely new game.

Is the community that plays modern day infantry shooters the same as the one that plays futuristic mech type games? I'm not sure I'd enjoy a mech game like this.

The RPGesque ranking thing is kinda scary.. How would a pay-to-play MMOFPS go over? BF2 is working towards that direction it seems.

Helpful guide to posting:

Step 1: Read forums.

Step 2: Read your post.

Step 3: If your post matches something you already read, ask yourself, am I going to add anything to the forums by posting?

Step 4: ???

Step 5: Profit!

I think analyzing the gameplay at this stage is a bit of a moot point. Things are going to change before the game comes out.

**RGM-79N_GM_CUstom** · 03-21-2006, 12:12 AM

NOOO. Can someone lock this for being old.

**RGM-79N_GM_CUstom** · 03-21-2006, 12:15 AM

Its all about Quake Wars at this point.

Looks cool, and it looks like its futuristic enough without including silly things like lasers. I would be willing to bet that EA will still milk BF2 for as long as they can, and then finally release 2142. Because of that i seriously doubt it will be out in 2006. Earlyest would be early 2007.
