(20-25 mins) But if you have the time I highly recommend it.

Original blog post by a Gamespot Editor that criticises how death and other issues are handled in shooters marketing their games as "realistic":

When did regenerating health become realistic?

The author of the article and a designer of MoH:Warfighter debating the points in the article:

Click here. Scroll down to post #14 for the file and note that apparently it won't go live till tomorrow, so may not want to install yet...

Hope to see some more old faces, already some have been popping up in the server last few weeks, will be great to see some more :).

(Check my last blog post for notes on the changes from the patch and the game in general for those that are interested)

Thanks to those who did take part in the Beta and thanks for the feedback. We haven't had any major crash issues reported or server instability so we are going to go with releasing the Beta version as Final. Those who installed the Beta won't need to download or update anything to play v1.51.

However the server providers will be getting the server files during this week and setting their machines up with the new version.

The official release will be announced on the Blog when the RSP's have set up their servers. Current release schedule will be for end of this week/early next week depending on how soon the server providers can get updated.
Great news, now there might be a good few players returning to 2142 and a few free maps never hurts.

For anyone who hasn't played Battlefield 2142, it's a fast-paced first-person shooter, based on both infantry and vehicular combat, set on maps ranging from quite big to massive. It had a massive following for a long while here at TG, but after a problem with server lag near the time of the release of BF:BC2, many people switched over to that title and others which have been released since, such as MoH and CoD:BOps. However quite a few people (including myself) still view this as a far superior title, especially on PC with many of the features, control systems and UIs have been purposely built around the PC platform, unlike many shooter titles which have been released since. Many former BF2142 players said they'd return if this patch was released, and while the game has retained quite a few players and manages to get the server populated on many nights (especially Fridays) it would be great to get some of these players back.


Details on what the new patch offers can be found here.

This includes new maps, plus NS is now playable for everyone, meaning there is now plenty of new stuff for old-timers to get their teeth into, which should keep the game fresh.


This is a really exciting development for the TG2142 community, and we hope you'll be joining the server for some games some time soon :). ]]> SharinganTH1422 http://www.tacticalgamer.com/blogs/sharinganth1422/508-new-battlefield-2142-patch-released-v1-51.html Every Single Person Must Read This (If they want to) http://www.tacticalgamer.com/blogs/sharinganth1422/397-every-single-person-must-read-if-they-want.html Wed, 08 Dec 2010 01:24:31 GMT I've never been one for this whole "blogging" thing, but since I don't know where to put this "thread" (Gen. discussion/Sandbox) and should think there isn't any user on this site who wouldn't be both interested in, and amused by this article, thought I'd post it as a blog as it shows up on the side of each thread.

Came across it totally randomly in a google search, quite fascinating. ]]> SharinganTH1422 http://www.tacticalgamer.com/blogs/sharinganth1422/397-every-single-person-must-read-if-they-want.html
