Absolutely. people who are writing this off fail to think about how awesome its gonna be with some real teamwork.

ya something about the titans I do not see used much in pubs is the guns on the thing. They are super powerful, kinda make like mini arty strikes around it, and it has 4 on it!

Can definitly see a commander parking a titan over an important silo, and being able to soften or rather destroy a silo with the guns, as well as providing a spawn point right above it for a easy cap.

Only down side to this is that you might be in the center of the map, making missile flight time quicker to hit you...although I am not really sure this matters in the long run. However if you shields are down, you are easy access to board.

Hi Everyone,
We will be closing down the beta on Monday morning stockholm time. Our techs need some extra time preparing for the demo and have informed us that they will need to implement CD key checks and punk buster checks (both of which have been turned off).

I cant express how valuable and educational this Beta has been for us. You guys have brought up points and provided feedback on things that otherwise would have been overlooked or not considered.

I look forward to playing with everyone in the demo and when the game releases. I sincerely hope each of you have found some value in this experience and will choose to join us again in future beta testing.

See you on the Battlefield,

Colin K Clarke
AKA B15H09

PS - I will be more active in the normal community forums so please feel free to pm me anywhere.

GL with the demo DICE, played the BETA and was not impressed at all. Hopefully others will like it but Im sticking with BF2, thank you mods!

I had some good games and fun times playing the demo. Sure, the beta had issues (beta's are supposed to have issues), I had to play with alot of asses (exclude anyone on my buddy list at TG), but all in all I am looking forward to the release of the game. I've said it before, but I think TG players were turned off more by lack of team play in the beta than the actual bugs affecting gameplay. Yeah, the Titan exploded when it wasn't supposed to (etc.), but my frustration and digust was more with my random "squad" (non-TG of course) who wouldn't even follow me on the Titan more than the tweaks to the beta!

I was expecting BF2 in the future, and that's what I got. It's not too futuristic for my tastes and moves the story ahead.

I liked:

Titan Mode - which should offer us some new ways to play.
Vehicles - Battle Walker, APC's, Air
Weapons- Good variety
Kits - Easy to customize your player
Unlocks
Pods
New server interface, buddy list
Lots of new ways to take a silo or flag
Rewards for playing in a squad

Dislikes-
Unlocks - not sure this will be an issue playing with TG however.
We could see an unfinished game released. This will probably happen which goes in line with all the BF games so far.
In game ads.
Bloom effect on some of the weapons.
Pods - need to come to a happy medium on distance one can travel.

I look forward to playing BF2142 on a TG server!
