Only one thing and that is Elstree Studios where Star Wars 4, 5 and 6 were filmed, also the first couple of Superman films, some of the first batman, all the Indiana Jones films (i think), big brother, who wants to a millionaire, dambusters, most of the hammer house of horror films, who framed roger rabbit and countless more films and TV programmes.

Downloading now
I am being sarcastic in highlighting that EA/Dice dont seem to check if a guys stats are legit before they dish out the rank.
Nice to see that the EA/Dice ppl or whoever decides these things has picked a guy/gal with a BR score off over 2300, me thinks thats a tad suspect....
I crack up when I am in a tank or APC and someone tries to blatantly ram you in a transport chopper and misses killing him and all that were aboard.
Happens every Tuesday between about 09:00 and 11:00 GMT, server is down for maintenance.
10 hours and counting, bloody slow DSL connection.
You should be able to play after you have downloaded and installed it.Absinthe wrote:
so.. after all i didnt get it..
I'm now at 64% and rising rapidly..
Will I be able to play the demo right after the download ?
or should I expect a waiting time..
Demo is not ranked.DoctorFruitloop wrote:
Does anyone know whether the demo is ranked yet?
I mean the unlocks are a integral part of BF2142, not just an alternative gun, they add to the gameplay and if you can't get them through ranks it's gonna be a pretty shitty demo.
No problem, thxmcminty wrote:
I stickied and changed the title slightly.
Mcminty.
The only issues I have seen so far are as follows.
1/ Demo is not ranked, unless of course the ranked part does not come into effect until the public demo has been released but I seriously doubt it.
2/ Still had a couple of disconnects during games (played 5 games, had 2 disconnects). All I had to do was reconnect to the server and I had my original points.
3/ A bit laggy when there is alot going on around you.
So nothing drastic.

As the title says please advise if you have encountered any Demo gameplay issues, for example are there any Beta bugs still remaining.
I preordered it via the EA (UK) Downloader website.CaptainKris wrote:
Did you have to preorder it from the EA site, because I preordered mine from EB Games.
I would have thought that preordering it from EBGames or any other retailer would mean you have to wait until the public demo is released at midnight (GMT) tomorrow.
Will do, apparently (according to a couple of other forums) the servers should be available to play on from 08:00am GMT.Towelly wrote:
I should think it'll be over the internet in 6-7 hours if it's that small.
Still, I know alot of people have decided to actually pull a judge, jury and executioner on this game before they even see the finished product, but I'm sticking by the BF series, once you've got it up and running tell us how it is jester.
File size for demo is just over 1.1gb.
The Demo is now available to download..........

If you HAVE NOT played the beta for more than 3 hours, you have no right to comment on how weapons work, or mechanics of the game.
Why is this, you ask? Because people are nubs, they already want things nerfed, and they havent even played the goddamn thing yet. You can read all the fuck you want on various 2142 websites about deviations and what have you, but when it comes down to it, the experienced players are the ones to listen to.
for example "ZoMfG active camo teh ghey? too long lols?"
no, fail.
Active camo is useless in the hands of a douche.
"T3h Sn1P3rs are T3h W1n?"
Snipers, are useless.. Live with it. the other half of the Recon kit is always useful, though.
in short, if you havent played the Beta, if only for an hour or two, stop talking like your hot shit
Just noticed that release dates of 2142 for the US is 17th October and 20th October for the UK.
Couple of queries I have
1/ Are these dates correct?
2/ If so then why is the US getting the game 3 days before the UK (and possibly the whole of Europe)?
3/ Does anybody know of any retailers in the UK that have an earlier release date?
Please no flaming, especially on the second query, it is a simple question, I don't want the usual were better than you crap.
Thx

I have seen it reported on a few forums that countless amounts of people are having problems registering there nickname on the veterans program.
I have tried loads of times with different variations to no avail.
I contacted EA support and they advised the following.
If you are not able to reserve a nickname or are getting errors such as 'The screen name you have entered already exists in our database' and/or 'Please correct the error and try again', there are a number of steps you can take to improve your chances of reserving a nickname.
Make sure your nickname does not exceed 14 characters as this is the limit for the length of nicknames in Battlefield 2142. Do not include your clan tag in your reserved name (you can add this to your nickname once you are in the game) as this may push your nickname over the character limit.
If the web site is receiving high traffic, you may want to try again at a later time to ensure your request goes through.
If you have tried your nickname at different times without success, your nickname may have already been reserved by another character. You can reserve a different nickname and you will still receive your Veteran Status even if you nickname does not match your Battlefield 2 nickname.
Unfortunately, Support staff can not alter or modify Battlefield 2142 soldier names, so please make sure that the name you reserve is the name you wish to use.
Please, let us know if you have any more questions or troubles.
Answers to most questions may be found at http://support.ea.com/.
In the end the only thing that would work was to change the nickname I wanted in 2142 from the 'ESMF' nickname I had in BF2 to 'ESMF-II'.
So it seems that although alot of people are not having any issues there are loads more that could get veteran status but just slightly tweaking there old BF2 name for use in 2142.
Hope this helps, please dont flame me if it doesn't......;-)

My opinion is that they should have nursed him back to full health. Taken him to a room, sat him down on a chair, left him on his own for a few minutes then let the relatives of all the people he murdered into the room and left them to it for as long as it takes.

If you are having troubles removing video drivers, I recommend using Driver Cleaner Pro. Its a free download, and it does a great job. You can download it here: http://www.drivercleaner.net/professional.html Just make sure to follow the instructions in the readme or on the website, for the best possible job.
newest drivers are 6.5Beta.
link: http://www.station-drivers.com/forum/vi … =7837#7837
The last few official drivers (6.4 and 6.3) are causign alot of problems for owners of X1800 and X1900 cards.
Some of these people say that these new Betas foxed their problems but some say they just created new ones like lower FPS and rebooting issues etc.
So use at own risk.
I myself suggest that you go back to 6.2 Till ATI finally delivers some proper drivers.

Well the EA site is back up and no patch................
I always thought it meant 'F**cked Up Beyong All Recognition' but seeing as I dont speak German I do not know if the above is true....Sgt.Davi wrote:

And that's the stupid thing about the new ranks in that anybody who is about to get all the vehicle experts will definetly already have all the kit experts and over 200k points so everybody (apart from the odd few) will jump the 3 ranks (maybe 4) in a matter of 3 (or 4) kills.
EA should change the ranking system so reflect the following
Brig Gen = 180k + all kit experts
Maj Gen = 200k + all vehicle experts
Lieu Gen = 250k + all ribbons
General = 300k
Hopefully EA has realised this and are going to change it in the 1.3 patch but somehow I doubt it.

I dont know if anybody has noticed but the Brig General rank requires all expert vehicle badges (which nobody has got yet), Maj General requires all expert kit badges (which alot of the top 300 players have got). The issue I see here is that when somebody does get the required 180k gs and all the expert vehicles badges he/she will get the Brig General promotion and because they have all the kit badges as well he/she will get the Maj General promotion after the next kill. Obviously this is a waste of a promotion.
Surely the expert kit badges requirement should be attached to the Brig General promotion and all the expert vehicle badges requirement should be attached to the Maj General promotion. This would mean that there would be a greater time gap between the Brig and Maj Generals rank and therefore making the game a little more interesting.
Whaddya think.......

Ok, my bad. I was not flaming. I missread what you were trying to say.
I have also missed badges and had to get them a second time.
The funniest thing... I was playing ghost town and for about 2 days... every round I got my basic special opps badge!!!! strange things happen. Unfortunatley, you may have to try again.
sorry.
It looks like I will have to try again but hopefully it will be easier this time round.
Thanks for the responses.
I always use BFHQ to check my stats, I only use the stats sites to check requirements and progress to an award.RonnY[NL] wrote:
EVERY single website with stats on are down (only one working as far as i know, cant remeber it)
if you want to check your stats go on BFHQ in battlefield itself, it is possible that it doesnt show up i had a miss ribbon one time, i know it sucks
as far is the stats on website i'm missing about 2 ribbons 1 badge and 3 medals....
I have read before that some people have earned awards and subsequently did not receive but it has never happened to me in the past.
I am not complaining about stats site updates or the unlocks. I queried why I had received a badge in game and it was not showing that I had been awarded it almost 48 hours later. If you notice I stated that I had also checked BFHQ (I have not read anywhere that there is an issue with BFHQ).spacebandit72 wrote:
Ok. first... the servers are being updated because of the patch. You'll notice that your bf2s stats are not updating either.
Second... if you don't have the 1.2 patch yet (nobody does) everytime you start bf... the unlock and drumroll thing pops up. It's supposed to. chose later if you want the new weapons after the patch comes out.
and... please use the SEARCH. both topics are talked about elsewhere.
First post.
Great forums guys.
Down to business.
After weeks and weeks of trying to get my Expert Explosives I finally got the 37 kills on a server called 24/7 Kark&Mash -=BoM=- in the early hours of Monday (UK time). I checked my BFHQ stats and other stats pages and it did not show up so I thought that the stats were just taking there time to update so I went and had some shuteye.
Got up later that morning, looked at my BFHQ stats and other stats pages and still no badge. I have played a few games since yesterday and my GS has updated okay BUT STILL NO FRIGGIN BADGE.
My question is, has anybody else earned any badges/medals/ribbons over the last 3-4 days and not received the award. If the answer is no it looks like I will have to try again and hopefully it gives me it this time.
I suppose if the answer is yes I will still have to attempt it again but I do not fancy wasting countless hours trying for it.
