have you played the demo? It is way fun! Alothough its a 1 gig download, its so worth it! Its great!

I love BF2 but don't think I will get this one. way to futuristic for my taste, the thing I liked about BF2 was that it was with existing weapons, vehicles and planes.
This is all fiction, not my thing.

ya at first i was thinking kinda like you, when it was announced, but after playing the demo, i am addicted. I agree with you about Bf2, it kicked butt.

Might try it out if I get bored with the games I'm currently playing.

I got some half hour game demonstration video and it looks pretty good, its's got some interesting features.

@ Stig - there are some futuristic elements but most of it is based on existing weapons/technologies, I suggest you give it a go

I downloaded the demo. Unimpressed by it.
1. It is very resource-consuming. You need a monster computer just to play it decently.
2. The maps are too big and bland. If you don't find yourself a vehicle, you'll find yourself walking too much.
3. So after walkiing for 5 minutes, you see the enemies and instantly die. Back to the base and prepare yourself for another 5-minute run. (I know it's based on realism but damn it, it's a futuristic game)

So, I don't really like this game and I think I'll stick with UT2K4 for my shooting needs...

Interesting info about the retail release of BF 2142.
http://www.bit-tech.net/news/2006/10/24 ... truggling/

Let's see, if they're doing this for BF 2142 then seeming as it is the same company I'm betting that NFS: C will be running along the same sort of system as you have to register your game first before being able to actually playing it offline. This is one very bad way to sell a game in my opinion.

Monster computer ?

I have:

AMD Athlon64 X2 3800+ (2 x 2 GHz)
1 GB of PC3200
eVGA GeForce 7600GT (580/1500)
200 GB IDE Hard Drive
400 Watt PSU
MSI MS-7191 Motherboard

and I can run BF2142 with all quality settings set to high, 4x AA, and 16x AF @ 1024x768 resolution.

That is by no means a monster computer. In fact, it cost me less than $700 to build.

PS: Lack of widescreen support sucks ass. Goddamn EA ...

lack of widescreen support? my friend has a widescreen and he has no problems.

weedman173 · Post by **weedman173** » 10 Nov 2006, 00:26

Theres a file in the game directory and if you edit it in notepad, you can put in your own custom resolutions but with widescreen, some stretching will occur.

I had BF2 but my old Titanium card dosnt support the required 2.0 Pixel Shader, so I doubt it would here

Weapons and vehicles look too primitive for a 138 years of technological advancement.

Crappy rendition on the future.

NFSBLUECIVIC · Post by **NFSBLUECIVIC** » 11 Nov 2006, 04:55

thats your opinion on the future. This was theres. It doesnt mean anyone is right. The developer just interpreted it different that you. This is not a crapy rendition on the future, its a crappy rendition on YOUR percieved future.

50 years ago, people thought we would have flying cars by now.

korge · Post by **korge** » 11 Nov 2006, 14:57

Okay, Crappy rendition on the future.

All Im saying is we came a long way in 50 years... Multiply that by 3, times the growth of the market and technology, times the growth of population, and you get something totally different from BF2142.

Sir Ibi · Post by **Sir Ibi** » 11 Nov 2006, 22:12

I agree with Korge in that it's a crappy rendition of the future, simply because it reminds me of every other bloody sci fi film/games... mechs? Havn't we seen enough of those already?

DeMyX · Post by **DeMyX** » 11 Nov 2006, 22:13

The game look like star wars. Well the mech does.
