2142 Preorders....

10 to 1 it will be basically a BF2 mod with slight enhancements (dejavu BFV). Everyone will prefer the BF2 mods. Especially since EA/Dice have been advertising that they are more worried about $$$ over quality. I'll skip this at first. I may get it, but it will be in the bargain bin and people are still playing/modding it. BFV was actually good for the $20, but not worth anymore.

I will check the open beta/demo first. Since i am some kind of battlefield-franchise fanboy i guess i will buy it a some point of time

But also looking forward to quake wars and armed assault.. i wonder what will make my winter-nights fullfilled

I don't have any problems spending $40 on an inbetween version of the game to help insure a great next gen version.

I know at least 2 corps which gave a very good support for their games. First is Petr Odom / Take 2 with their Vietcong. they always brought out some new maps and even a totally free single player campaign. something i miss totally by the producers of bf 2 : Dice and EA. Shouldnt be a big prob for them to release some ranked maps...

and the other one is the studio which made Operation flashpoint. I am really waiting for the 2. part. Should be a big one and miles better then BF2. At last I hope it...

Im still undecided on 2142, but Im not holding much hope.

The 1.4 patch brings a new gamemode and a new map. I am not totally unhappy with BF2. They made some mistakes they shouldn't have done in the first place. E.g. learning from how other games evolved instead of copying the same mistake but overall i still like it. I'll check out the demo and if it's fun i'll probably buy 2142 too.

Did you guys see Frontlines yet ?
Looks quite promising

Kaos studios are former Trauma studios , the guys that made DC mod for BF1942 and were latter core at making BF2.

Politically correct and in self denial..........hehe!

the following info is not confirmed and could be a hoax, so read it carefully

http://bf2142beta.com/

Looks like a site sponsored by wolfgaming, which seem to claim to be the official beta-partner for bf2142. not much intel there right now, only a mid-august release of the beta.

still not sure if this is the real beta-site or not.

Interesting.

Alot of talk about 2142 pre-order here at GC. I hope its better than the overall quality of BF2 today (1+ year later). If it really is, then it would be worth purchasing and dumping BF2 and any mods that are trying to come out before 2142 release date. But history has shown with BF1942 that it takes about 3+ years for EA to own up and fix 2/3 of the problems. I'm holding my breath that future combat (2142) will have less problems than BF2. Currently, air to air, air to surface, and surface to air combat is shameful.

Unfortunately, if it is, then there will be little hope of mods. Why make a mod when EA will obsolete the game before a good mod can make a release?

Also to think about is GC changes with the times, will a MEC game create a bigger turnover in GC membership?

As for the 2142 Beta, it is real and limited in membership. Personal invite only. Havent looked at that site tho and dont know if its legit. Behind in the times this last week due to dialup access only.
