BF2 v BF2142

Smellyirishman

Just wondering, are people still mostly playing BF2 or has there been a majority exodus to 2142? I played the demo of 2142 and liked bits and pieces but it didn't really prompt a purchase.

Should I stick with BF2 or is 2142 worth the money?

I play 2142. I have never owned BF 2 but I would say I have played it for more then 30 hours . I was going to get BF 2 but my clans BF2 devision is dying down so I will just stick with 2142.

Have not touched BF2142. Played a bit of BF2 and enjoyed it, when playing with people I know and at Lan's.

Really though, I still enjoy playing BF1942 and BFV. They are still, in my books, the most enjoyable games to play.

2142, titan mode is just brilliant.

Dod:s

pissed off with bf ever since BF2. Bfv ftw.

2142, its the way to go man!

BF2142 is brilliant but I'd wait and buy quake wars

SeantheMan

Own all them

BF2 is the best ...except Infantry only..which has partially ruined the game

LoLth

Played all except 1942 (yes i am a n00b).

prefer 2142 to bf2. the unlocks are nicer, the ranking system better and the teamwork more apparent. One factor could be that I can run 2142 on almost highest settings but bf2 still runs like a three-legged-dehydrated-stunned dog, even after doublin ram, doubling the capability of the graphics card and upgrading the CPU!!!

BF:V is still my favourite overall though. had more atmosphere, or maybe it was just the shiney newness of it at the time.

BF2 Still rocks and I thought the demo of 2142 was woefull..Quake Wars is next on my list or maybe DOD :S

Been playing BF2 loads.

Just got BF2142 and BF:V not so long ago, to check them out fully... and now I'm flogging them on adverts!

'nuff said :rolleyes:

> I totally passed on BF1942 and BFV during the day, and only took the pluge 'fully' with BF2, but I'd rather update my rig over the next few months/years and stick with BF2 (generally don't get much play time these days anyway) which will just get more and more gorgeous with more and more FPS, what with all the various SP and MP mods etc., than restart with a futuristic version - and them future weapons are, and just sound, pants

I love 2142 tbh.

Smellyirishman

Yeah, I will definitely be getting Quake Wars when it comes out, just need something to tide me over until then. I guess I will stick with BF2 for now, since I already have a key, but whenever I play the game I always think "Wow, this is fantastic" for about a week, then I realise that people are stupid and have no concept of teamwork. I did enjoy the titan mode of 2142, but the rest of it just seemed so half-assed.

Maybe I will invest in DOD:S too. Damn you all, making me buy games!

Keep those opinions coming please .

Likeing BF2 atm

But all time favourite is BFV ftw

I've gone right back to BFV and am hooked again..playin up to 3hrs a night which is not bad since BF1242 shut down all my gaming interests down.

Citizen_Erased

Bf2 ftw but I loved vietnam at the time like with the Hueys and the like . Can't believe it was omitted from the pole.

Smellyirishman

Yeah, apologies for that, I just kind of bundled it in with 1942/secret weapons et all. I know, I know, very different, but I'm not really in a Vietnam kind of mood.

magick

bf2142 is a peice of sh*t

bf2 started out good but good ole EA fu*ked it up with the crappy patches and addons

BFV/1942/mods FTW

Creature

They're both brilliant but I'm bored with BF2. I've played it to death and don't really get much from it anymore.
2142 is excellent. Give it a chance, you probably wont think much at first but it'll grow on you. Once you really get into titan mode you'll have a great time.

Bfv & Bf2 ....... Bfv still gives me goosebumps ....tis a classic !!

The tunes in bfv are better than any of the other games in the series.

Exact same as me....
BF2 is still a hoot, never enjoyed 2142, just felt wrong to go in the future with this game....

Holsten

2142 of course.

dazftw

BF2.

I dont like futurstic games. Saying that I have played 2142 and its "ok" id play it if I got it for free.

Holsten

It's hardly that futurstic, you fire bullets not lasers.

Only 'futurstic' thing about it is probably the Titans.

Walkers are just tanks with legs!

dazftw

Suppose your right! Its still not my cup of tea anywho

played bf2 and 2142,
and when first started playin 2142 i was thinkin that its defo not as good as bf2,
but now it is good, prob could be better in its own way.

YEah I'd agree with you. When you first start playing 2142 , its underwhelming, but after a while it begins to get very enjoyable indeed.

I reckon 2142 is better balanced over all. There's much less constant dying to vehicles, due in part to the commander posessing EMP strike weapons, and troops having access to EMP grenades and mines. No planes certainly helps. The maps certainly seem much more infantry friendly as well. I'd rather this was all done in the BF2 setting though. It'd be nice if they backported the improvements to BF2 along with some new maps.
