dude you should have seen it in the beta.... the splash was like 2x what it is now. You could fire silo to silo and most likely get a kill.

oh you can be sure to get that, as they make you sit through a 1-2 minute long advertisement everytime the map reloads which shows screenshots from the maps, and all the ranking bs... its almost as irritating as having to sit through that stupid training video on initial launch.alien-DSW-Gen wrote:
Demo sucks. Beta sucked. They were/are boring because the maps suck ass. Welp thats 2 maps down that are lame. I think i'll wait until i see screenshots of *every* map before i even consider buying 2142 now.
Is it just me or is the gameplay completely lackluster without the unlock system. I've played maybe 5 rounds and I'm completely bored, ready to toss it aside like its another bad mod. The gameplay is even more monotonous than the maps enviroment design Yes I did play the beta so maybe I was spoiled by all the gadgets I unlocked, but honestly I dont think a new player will see it any differently. It doesn't leave you wanting more at all.
What they should have done was set up a trial period. Cap it at something like 5 unlocks, and than have the option to port the account over to retail. I guess its just easier to go apeshit with advertising and hope people are dumb enough to get sucked into their cheesy gimmicks. "Don't forget to pre-order kids... you wouldn't want your family to unexpectedly die would you? Plus you get a really cool alternate skin for your gun!!! Send this to 20 of your closest friends or you'll have bad luck for 5 years."

I love how everyone keeps making excuses for them.... "Its just beta"... "Its just the demo".... but you know damn right the full game is going to be just as bad.
awww I missed going in and CTD one last time...
I played like 35 hours of Beta1 and only like 5 hours of beta 2 cuz it is so shitty/buggy, unlocked everything for recon, everything for assault, and now even when the game does work its boring as hell. The only thing that kept me playing was to test out the unlocks, but the gameplay is just weak.
By the time the game hits shelves... EA will be offering automobiles as a "bonus upgrade" for purchasing their half baked game.
Somehow I got the dogtags of Leipziggc010, I guess they musta just thrown the attendees into the beta test with all us betards.
I really hope it was on a big screen monitor when it happened.... and a crowd of people watching behind lauphing & shouting "ohhhhhh... dude just got stabbed in the face"

one is AA and the other is for ground.
With the added stamina and speed in POE2, infantry battles have turned into a giant pool of bunnyhopping dolphins on crack compared to BF2 infantry. Have fun with that.....
It seems they went too far with the realism aproach. Maps are huge and flags too damn far apart. Flying feels too flight-sim-ish, especially helicoptors. Guns sound/feell great, but theres just something that bugs me about them and I cant put my finger on it. For some reason I get this huge dissapointment feeling when playing, something like... "been there done that".
god you guys are fucking pussies. Enough with the infantry only bullshit.
Good luck getting on a titan without an APC or dropship you wanks. Which btw when you get on one, is completely infantry only...
I can pretty much gaurantee no infantry only support for bf2142.

The Camo is perfect in game. Theres no way you can miss the blurry refraction running down a corridor, let alone the red tag that sadly does show when pointed at, it only truly shines when you flank from the sides or are completely still. Perfect for getting behind armor and setting explosives, but not so overpowered as to walk right up to you and stab you in the face without you ever seeing a thing.
There is also an unlock that specifically counters the camo , plus a new feature that will show units on the 3d map when spotted.

you only get 1 unlock per rank up in bf2142. There are 40 altogether.
plus you cannot kill infantry with the guns only vehicles from my experience anyway. A direct hit to an apc will only do like 40-60% damage anyway.
500 mb is way too big, you guys should learn how to compress your videos.. sorenson squeeze is good... but cough cough achoo
I hope there isn't, so i dont have to waste unlocks on crap just to get to the good stuff. Not that I've actually seen anything not worthy of unlocking yet.. still would be nice to go straight for the cool stuff. Knowing Dice they probably made the cloaking device Tier 20 unlock or something...genius_man16 wrote:
1 thing, does anyone know if the unlocks will have the "teir" system? like, will i have to unlock the shotgun before the other LMG as support? or could i just unlock the LMG first?

hooray for that. about time anyway...

The Area 50-100m North of PLA's Frontlines. Plenty of cover to pick off all the nubs chilling on the hill. I get most of my kills in the first 5 minutes of the round.

Well lets take a look here at each classes unique abilities... I'll even do it in order of importance and usefulness.
1. Medic - Heal/Revive (In a game where you kill/die.. this class is paramount)
2. Support - Resupply (If your not dying, your gonna need more ammo)
3. Engineer - Repair (Given someone doesn't run your ass over while your saving their vehicle/life)
4. Spec Ops - Demolitions (A skilled spec ops unit can be alot more effective than an AT guy)
5. Sniper - Long Distance Killer, Anti Personal Mines. (Saves your ass alot more than you realize/give credit for)
6. Anti-Tank - Name says it all... (Shitty Self Defense Weapons)
7. Assault - Boucing projectile grenades with nerfed splash damage, 1 miniature smoke grenade. (hmmm kinda fun sometimes.. but i'll trade any day for medkit. OBSOLETE!! we have winner here.)

This isn't entirely about what class you're going to play most. Its about which class you will specialize in, as there will be a number of unique unlocks and special abililtes for each... you can only go by speculation on which unlocks to choose even after the game is purchased and you have played each kit. If you still dont understand now, than its not this thread that needs closing... its your mouth.deadawakeing wrote:
omg your already asking this question the game hasnt even come out yet and is not going to be for a little while you dont know anything about the classes what map suites what class, the weapons in detail. close this
about time lol... 35 votes and not 1 for support. Was afraid it might end up like the assault class in BF2.genius_man16 wrote:
Support, i HATE having to reload a lot, that's 100% of the reason i started to play Support in the first place... then i found the PKM, and now that's 100% of the reason i KEEP playing support
I took a closer look at the class and I'm pretty sure itll have some advantages on the battlefield. Looks like it will be feared by ground pounders, with its beastly LMG and Personal Shield Unlock, not to mention its the only class with EMP grenades for disabling vehicles.
On another note... I really hope support players are more alert to our ammo needs in 2142 so we dont have to shoot them in the face to let them know we are serious when we say we need more ammo.
after a laggy gunfight me and the enemy have both expended a full magazine on eachother, he must have been the same as me with only 1 bar of health because i desperately chucked a nade from about ten feet, hit him in the chest/head and he died from impact.
most random accidental kill was some cocky guy jumping in prone to knife the teamate i was about to revive. He was a bit too early.... hehe ZAP!

i subscribed almost a year ago, just hoping it doesnt run out 1 day before the beta lol.. overall I can say that it was well worth it. Lots of exclusive content, and very fast downloads with no waiting.
I suspect alot of recon soldiers running around when its released, what with the cloaking device and all. I know I probably will, but the Assault kits Airburst rockets and shotgun unlock look quite tempting aswell.

Here's some great info on the classes and what weapons/unlocks they wield.

i'm damn sure some transactions were made between the two companys... You do realize how much money Fileplanet is going to make off of this... especially those of you who just went out and bought a subscription.
What ever happened to limiting to only BF veterans though??! Thats the part that pisses me off. Maybe EA has realized there "Downloader", is a piece of shit, incapable of downloading a non corrupt file.

Well just so you guys know there will probably be Serial #'s involved... like every other beta hosted by Fileplanet. So even if you do find it on a torrent or something, itll be useless without the Serial.
I am a subscriber at fileplanet, and have participated in over 10 betas, each requiring an assigned serial key # to play.

The only thing I found interesting was the part where they quoted Colin Clark from Dice saying that the only new gameplay tweaks they might make in 1.4 were Transport Chopper upgrades, and J10 Balancing tweaks. If time allows..
otherwise the podcast was a bit hard to follow for 70+ minutes.... :x

Ok so I havn't had either of these titles installed for almost a year now. Sometimes I get a jonzing to install and fly my beloved WWII crafts above el alamein again, or torch some fools with some napalm. The real question is.. does anyone else even play anymore?
just admit it.... if you could figure it out you'd do it too... sure as hell beats having a noob gunner who doesnt even know there is a tv missle, and it would be dumb not to use it if you cant find a gunner at all. I really dont see what your probelm is to be honest.
lmao i gave him -1 karma yesterday for his stupid sig.. the one that shows him in j10 raping carrier as commander...
lol bridge... now that was a linear map. If its anything like that, I'm glad GL splash damage is the equivalant to dropping a water balloon.

YAY. They are releasing a beta patch..... basically a patch that says hey... we don't know if it works but here you go! 20% of players will be playing 1.21, 30% will be playing 1.3, and 50% will be playing 1.31 beta. Throw in optional booster packs to the mix and what do we have. The most @#%^ up and seperated gaming community ever.
I only hop in a vehicle when we have no flags and my soldiers are tking eachother for jets. Than its time to take matters into your own hands.
I do hate it though when a commander is flying around or tanking it out and your in need of supplys or a uav, they end up dropping supplys 100m at your previous position, because they finally finished capping that flag or killing that guy. Only to take off again dropping uavs only at their position.

A few tips to add for the bombers.
1. the MG's do not hit dead center, they hit somewhere around 6 o'clock on the circular reticule, dogfighting is simple once you figure this out. I took out two little birds in a row within one pass across road rage last night... didn't miss a shot.
2. When you have AA lock its better to dive low and flare than to climb. If you get hit its usually minor damage, and more like a spank on the ass for flying sloppy. Most times they'll lose you in the trees.
3. On road rage you can almost fully repair your Bombers health from red-zone in two passes of the airfield by flying in-between the two takeoff fields and hangers. (If MEC and flying SU, make sure to pass over helipads for bonus repair)
4. Now I disagree with what a previous poster said about not firing MG's at tanks, sure it does little damage... but it does just enough so they cant run away from their burning tank after you bomb it.
5. I do agree on this though. NEVER FIRE MG's at AA!!! Dive in from 250m and Drop all four, than get the @#% out.
6. Check your six

MEC Island on Iron Gator gives me same video lag when flying over it in helo. Smurf has the right Idea with the dynamic lighting, probably because so many polygons on screen reacting to it... killing your fps. Test it by staring at the sky or ground in that area and check your fps.
Totally! It was so much stealthier than the noisy A10. The only thing tankers heard was their armor being cut to pieces.DancinHomer wrote:
