BF2S Forums E3 06: Battlefield 2142 Hands-On

Battlefield 2142 itself feels like Battlefield, but with really cool new weapons and vehicles. The hover tank is unlike any other tank in a Battlefield game, because it slides around like it's on ice. It lets you strafe left and right, and that gives you new mobility to try and dodge attacks. The aircraft, we're told, will be easier to fly than counterparts found in existing Battlefield games (flying a helicopter in Battlefield 2 is remarkably as hard as flying one in real life), but to compensate, the aircraft will be nerfed so that they don't dominate the map like they do in Battlefield 2. (Speaking of which, Nilsson says that DICE is currently working to fix that issue in Battlefield 2.)

I'll wait until I can play it.  I'm leary on it at this point but we'll see how that goes.  Just gotta wait until Friday to get my hands on it.

completely off the topic, but talking about Dog Tags,

there was this girl that i used to work with, and for some reason we all got talking about dog tags. we asked her if she knew why each soldier had two tags (trying to make her look a bit stupid thinking she wouldnt know). but she turned round and said that she did know, so then went on to tell us that they have two tags "one around the soldiers kneck and one around his ankle". we sort of laughed at her and asked why they had one on their ankle, so she told us that it was so if they get blown up in a battle, then they would be able to identify body parts!

she said that her brother had told her this and would not accept our reason for why they have two tags.

And what is your reason?

Because that is the real reason you are issued 2 dog tags.


One around the neck and one laced up in your boots or something like that.

Customisable weapons will be sweet, you can create tools that suit your style of play and it should finally put an end to the "this weapon is shit" threads cuz you'll be able to change it!

I'll be getting this game for sure! Mind you I doubt i'll be bored of BF2 by the time it's released...
