I need a new pair of pants.

Re: New Article - Weapons Balance
seems like they really put a LOT of work into the balancing of the weapons. The beta will help as well. I would love to have different weapons yet not have one "uber" weapon. Man i cant wait. Definately my first unlock is the defibulator! Followed by some engy unlocks

The PAC squad's Recon soldier located the sniper in his tower, and by aiming at him revealed the enemy's Network Battlefield information to his entire squad. The squad was immediately and automatically alerted to the enemy through the icon on their 3D map. The Support gunner in the squad used his Shuko LMG to suppress the sniper, forcing him to duck for cover or be mowed down in the hailstorm of high velocity rounds. The Squad Leader's SD-8 Accipiter Sentry Drone also picked up the Network Battlefield target automatically and added its own suppressive firepower. The squad's Assault soldier then dialed in the distance to the sniper's perch for his PK-74 AR-Rocket. The rocket's airburst detonated just past the sniper's cover, eliminating him and allowing the squad to move up and secure their objective.
Its this kind of inside squad teamwork that really excites me about what BF2142 has to offer

I can totally see this kind of intricate teamwork being play out here at TG. Too bad that this will almost never happen at pubs, as joining a squad alone is hard enough for most pubbies (or so it seems). The only thing I fear about 2142 is the dog tag system (which promotes long range knifing) and small squads (because of the centry gun)

Re: New Article - Weapons Balance
you only get field upgrades in squads, which should help out people joining squads and following orders. Of course TG would have the best teamwork, but im sure theres going to be others (FCW, etc.) That battlefield network is sexy though.

Re: New Article - Weapons Balance
From the looks of that writeup, the four classes are basically:

BF2 Assault + BF2 Medic = 2142 Assault
BF2 Sniper + BF2 Spec Ops = 2142 Recon
BF2 Engineer + BF2 AT = 2142 Engineer
BF2 Support = 2142 Support

Looks like they're really trying to put the kibosh on unranked servers. It sure will be hard to revive people if you can't get the defibrillator unlock...sheesh...

When the beta comes out post it as a bug, can't revive people on unranked.
