Rofl i think people will be "slowly" buying crysis or team fortress 2 when it comes out. The comp i have now is strong enough to handle crysis all i need is windows vista and a vga card thats dx10 ready and i will have a Kick Ass gaming experience.

2142 has been marked down in price everywhere I go, and it's been how long?. Bf2 on the other hand, 6 months before it came down in price, sorta speaks for itself. But besides that, I don't find 2142 to be as bad as people say, sure it's full of nubs, but since when isn't going 15-2 every round not been fun and enjoyable.

Asshole #1- BF2 is better than 2142. OMGLAZERZPEWPEW!!111elevenone11two3! If you prefer 2142, then you're fucking retarded.

Asshole #2- Shut up faggot. You're a stats whore that can't quit stroking his e-peen. Your opinion is stupid, 2142 is superior to BF2 in every way, and I fucked your mom.

Do I give a shit which game you guys prefer? Nope. If you like BF2, then play BF2. If you prefer 2142, then stick with that. Or, god forbid, play both or neither at all. In other words, just shut the fuck up already on "which is better". Why does it matter what other people think of your gaming choice? This isn't junior high, so stop arguing. Once you figure that out, you'll realize that your opinion of others doesn't mean a god damned thing. Arguing this over and over is like asking what the best movie is, or the best band, or the best food, etc. etc.

Wait....this is a post on a forum. Everything that I just said was disregarded once I conflicted with someone else's opinion. Oh well.

I pre ordered 2142, played it quite a bit for a few days, and the bugs and lag and lack of infantry fighting (except for onboard titan battles) turned me off real quick. I turned right back to BF2.  I believe in alot of the bitching people have for 2142. I'll spare you of said bitching, but you know what I mean.
Lack of infantry fighting?  Did you install the game after you bought it?  BF2 doesn't have even close to the level of intense infantry firefights that 2142 has.  It's the most infantry focused game in the Battlefield series!  The whole point system is geared toward teamwork and the team not working together will not only lose, they'll get less points.  Work with a good squad leader and you'll rack up the points and have a blast doing it!  Jump back in and join the fun!

Bugs? BF2 has more bugs this very moment than 2142 had out of the box. 

Lag?  BF2 has crazy lag compared to 2142.

I've noticed how on the XFire site, Battlefield 2 has always been above 2142 for the most played game in the week.
XFire is not a good indicator.  Not everyone stays logged in while playing.  I only stay logged in until I join 2142.  Then I log out of XFire, start up Vent and jump into our squad.

Won't happen. 2142 is not better.
Hey pal, this isn't the flame-thrower squad...because if you want to get burned, so be it.  I'm entitled to my opinion, you're entitled to your opinion, but flaming me for my beliefs is out-of-line (big difference between flaming and disagreeing, and you crossed it).

First off: BF2 is not better; it's older, it's testament to the mistakes Dice originally made...and eventually fixed. 

Second: armor whores were a royal pain, and spawn raping was rampant on many servers, especially Karkand because of the design of spawn points and the map itself...and people being kill whores.

Third: Operation Clean Sweep didn't see all that much circulation.  Nor did oh say, Kubra dam.  Zatar was too freakin big.  even full with 64 players, they still were too vast and people got fed up with it.

Fourth: I admit defeat on titan gun thing.  they truly are a pain.

Fifth: Air power is now more balanced.  No more banning for raping the Wake carrier.  No more super chopper whores that could dominate a whole game...soloing.  Teh gay, no one in real life can switch seats in a helicopter while in motion...and they prided BF2 as being realistic.

Sixth: Do a search, you'll see many people agree the G36E is a whore weapon that requires virtually no skill to use and inflicts massive damage.

Try chewing on that for a bit.  But like I said, people will catch on that BF2 sucks; time will tell.

TBH I find the number of players immaterial. Call of Duty had a much smaller gaming "audience" (here, anyway). But I found that good - it created a community where practically everyone knew everyone else.

I flamed you for the whinging, as i have flamed many others for whinging. Cant handle it? now i see why you dont like BF2 - everything kills you.

age means nothing. look at UT2004, the C&C Franchise... hell, MoH and CS are still going.. nothing wrong/bad there.
yeah, they fixed most of the mistakes. the ones that they didn't fix are still rampant in 2142.

yeah, balanced with 2 aircraft. BF2 had 4x the amount of air power, of course ONE PLANE will be sightly better.
dominating chopper whores? you never found a good squad, did you?

no, AA and RO prided themselves on being realistic, BF2 was just the next game in the series.

i'm glad it isn't, maybe all the smacktards/douche bags from BF2 will leave this one alone and not screw it up.

and as for BF2 being better than BF2142, that's BS. i've been playing BF2 (well i recently stopped because of 2142) almost since it came out and i just started playing 2142 last week and i can already see that 2142 is ten times better than BF2. i was shocked, i had quite a bit of fun playing it, instead of being miserable on BF2.

Aren't you BF2 players tired of standard conquest games?  It is like a mix between CTF and musical chairs.  It seems so abstract and almost pointless now that I have played Titan mode.  I will never play BF2 again.  It is a good game, but I find it a bit monotonous now-a-days.

I actually feel a bit of adrenaline when blowing up a core.  I haven't felt adrenaline in BF2 for months.

Two different games with two different sets of appeals. Neither is better, though BF2 is more simple. If there had been no patches after 1.12 BF2 would be twice as popular anyway.

It is easier to kick the crap out of everybody on a server in 2142 though, because so many here in Oz don't seem to have adjusted to the altered movement and weapon dynamics.

When I find like 230+ servers almost ALL of them are filled with players. This from 16 servers to 64 players and that's when my clock hit like 19:00 when most people are home from school or job.

I got several 64 player servers in my favs that are almost all the time filled. Or they have 0 players at the moment. Then I several Titan 48 servers in my list to and those are either filled to the top with a few player.
Searching for normal servers I find all the other 32 servers and that's quite a lot. Almost all of them are full to for me.

So imo I belive BF2142 is actually pretty close to BF2 in the amount of players that are playing it.

Amen! +1

Edit: What's the meaning of this thread? I mean, you say that BF2142 is less popular than BF2, sure, but what's the point? Do you want people to stop playing BF2142? Or do you want people to say "yeah, we play a boring game"? And do *you* realise that right this second, there are 300 BF2142-players more playing than BF2 players.
And by the way, both games are awesome...

I hate 64 player maps. 48 is my maximum. That is the reason I hardly stop by the BF2142 EU server.
64 is just major carnage. No matter where I am in a gunship over Verdun, I constantly got a lock on me, it's driving me nuts.

I think its because all the previous Battlefield games have been based of real things, in most cases wars.  And 2142 is just like any other game with unreal stuff that no one really wants to play.  I wasn't interested in it from the beginning and I deleted the demo after 10 minutes of playing it.  I have been playing the Battlefield series since the 1942 demo (freshmen year of college) and I even played that Wake Island demo for a month and a half before the actual game came out.  I have every single battlefield game there is, except 2142.  I'll just wait until its like $15 on eBay, then maybe I'll pick it up.
