Attention BF 2142 Soldiers!
As the beta tests for BF 2142 have finished, on behalf of everyone at DICE I wanted to personally thank you for your help with the development of the game. We gave you a mission, and you delivered above and beyond what we could have hoped for. Thanks to your hard work, we’ve already made over 3000 bug fixes and very many changes to BF 2142, and we continue to fine-tune the game based on your feedback. Some of the forum traffic we’ve read has asked what fixes we are making, and while there isn’t room to list all of the changes, your feedback made us make some major changes to Titan shield layout as well as adding death material to the outside shield, killing people trying to just sit and wait for shield to go down. These changes plus more around the Titan is making the fights even more intense and rewarding.
We have also, based directly on your feedback from both rounds of the Tuning Beta made a number of gameplay changes. The Support class’s Machine Guns now overheat slower and cool down quicker when not firing. The Doragon and Talon gunships have received an increase in maneuverability to allow for better dogfights. Additionally, all Recon class’s sniper rifles have had their sway substantially reduced and are able to be equipped with a more effective Gruber 5 Stabilizer. Finally, the Heavy Body Armor now absorbs less damage from incoming projectiles, effectively increasing the power of all weapons against Heavily Armored opponents.
The end result is that when BF 2142 releases next month, we are confident it will be a great experience. We continue to work toward the goal we have had all along in the development cycle, which is to make BF 2142 the best BF release ever.
Thanks again for your help in this important process, we hope that you had as much fun playing as we did. We’ll see you on the battlefield soon.

I hope the sniper sway and unlock is decent.
Im also happy for increased handling for the gunships.

Ausome stuff.
These were the only major things that bothered me. I'm surprised EA hasn't nerfed anything, besides pods, already.
increased handling of the gunship.. yet no mention of fixing that f'in squirrelly tv missile.... thats gonna suck hard kak...
I'm glad that they don't want to make BF2 the best one ever =/
And to think if it wasn't for BF2 they wouldn't have had a testbed for 2142!

I am really happy with there fixes they noted, everything i thought needed to be fixed was, like the support and helis. Maybe this game will be REALLY good.
Sounds like they listened to all of our complaints and they tried hard to get things fixed up. My biggest worry was the recon class since it is my favorite, and from the sounds of it they are gonna make it kick ass. Sweet.
With the pods, I found that moving the titans closer to the battle and putting an APC near would let you pod up as high as in Beta 1 and you could fly around the map. That's gonna be my method of transport haha.
With the tv missles. Sensitivity set at .1, and my mouse DPI at it's lowest made the missles MUCH easier to maneuver and I could actually hit things... It'd be nice to see the other 99% of players without these mice be able to actually hit things as well.
Good job EA/DICE.

i don't like that they decreased the heavy armor protection since it was put were it should be and it was balanced but i just gotta live with and because all the other things sounds great but we just gotta wait for the beta to come out and we can see if it has improved
WOW " 3000 Bug Fixes" YOU MISSED SOME! OF COURSE IN ORDER TO KEEP YOUR JOBS!!!!!!!!!!!!! DUMB FUCKS
Wojo97civic you trying to be funny or sarcastic? Because you fail pretty good on that. Also I would like to see you have a big game like BF2142 and have NO BUGS in it. If you can do that I will gladly give you 500$.
Anyway it's nice to hear the fixed a lot. I just hope they make the game much more stable. ^^ Meaning, no dissconnection problem.

Is that your response? Well congratulations to you then, for making such a well constructed comment.
I find it pretty good they achieved to eliminate 3000+ bug fixes submitted by the beta testers.
The beta testers have done what they had been asked to do.
No, we will wait and see if BF2142 is worth the wait.
Haha, well said. They just spelled out a few changes, (prob the ones they were getting most shit about) to ease our worries. Somehow 3000+ things wouldn't exactly fit into their announcement.Bernadictus wrote:

Why do they even have to have 'sway' at all? You only get sway with a sniper rifle in RL when you're standing or crouched, and what kind of moron seriously tries to snipe like that? I mean obviously it makes use of the stabilizer unlock, but couldn't they replace that with an infrared scope or something?fierce wrote:

In real life there's bullet drop, wind, gun inaccuracies, bullet inaccuracies, distractions, breathing, etc, etc.Delphy wrote:

The way I see it, the sway is a much easier way to incorporate all these inaccuracies into one bundle. And trust me, it's no big deal. It's only vertical sway and it's easy to compensate for.
Um yeah, but in BF2/2142 we also have to compensate for bullet drop at range, lateral movement, lag and false hitboxes etc, not to mention dead shots not registering and the guy's cocaine blowing away instead... I don't see why there needs to be more annoying shit added to sniping.
But what about the excessive damage the EU tanks get when driving?
Yay!
I'm just glad they didn't ruin the Sniper rifles like they did in Call of Duty 2... where you can hold your breathe and bunny-hop snipe someone from 500 plus meters......
