Personally I think it does. I am surprised people have not been more out spoken about it. With the release of the new booster pack I wanted to gauge everyones feelings on it now. I stopped playing a few weeks after it came out.

Yes | 8% | 8% - 14 | ||||

Of course 2142 sucks.
Although I've only played 3 or 4 rounds, that was enough for me. It's just not fun.
Spending a lot of time doing something is not an indication of skill .. in fact you gain rank faster if you HAVE more skill doing different things and leading properly in 2142.-=raska=- wrote:

1.Ranks mean nothing. I mean, you can get general within a month, and now everyone is a senior officier, pretty unrealistic and no challenge.

Actually, people were mad because when 2142 was announced, BF2 was still a nest of bugs. That being said, I enjoy the demo and occasionally stomping around in a mech, but it didn't hook me quite like Gulf of Oman did in the BF2 demo.jsnipy wrote:
no, I like it (and I like bf2 as well)
IMO, I think some people hate it so much because they cannot (a) replicate their bf2 success or (b) don't want to leave their bf2 stats behind or (c) like to fly mostly (which is where 2142 fails). I didn't ease into it and did not think I would be playing it as much as I did, but it grew on me.Spending a lot of time doing something is not an indication of skill .. in fact you gain rank faster if you HAVE more skill doing different things and leading properly in 2142.-=raska=- wrote:

2142 doesnt take more skill than bf2 for ranking...jsnipy wrote:

1) it is more fun because you dont have to play 24/7 to get some nice guns.-=raska=- wrote:

2.Only two armies so after 2 weeks of playing, it gets boring..
3.less vehicles so less possibilities of gameplay
4.everything is nerfed : helicopters suck balls and get destroyed too easily, not to mention that they may be taken down with an EMP shot which is pretty cheap.
5.Weapons are.. weird (but just a personnal opinion)
6.no airplanes (ok ok they got replaced with a hybrid piece of shit)
All to true. I and don't we already have a whole bunch of threads like this? Oh and Ghettoperson, the beta did suck but the final is alot better, like pretty much everything is better than in the beta.^*AlphA*^ wrote:
I think it doesn't
- more based on teamplay (yes yes yes I know, but I know when I played in good squads)
- new booster pack maps are fun
and other then that is different then Battlefield 2 not more shit (maybe personal opinion ok) but it's different

You know, the rank means nothing in either game! Why does something taking more time make it better? And why should have to pay in excess of 6 months to unlock every thing? At least 2142 rewards a player for playing different classes and doing different things. The reason it is shorter is probally because EA does not want you playing the same game for 5 years lol. By your rationale why aren't you still playing DesertCombat? Because it took waaaaaaaaaaaaay more skill to shoot down a helo with a stinger and it took much more skill to fly-=raska=- wrote:

I mean, you get hundreds of free points with awards, + scoring at 2142 is easier because of the maps... The point I want to bring is that ranks mean nothing because we earn them too quickly. Ive 555 hours at bf2, im a captain and I still have some aspects to improve and learn (my tv skills need improvement, my sniping, etc) and thats why I dont have the highest rank...
In 2142, you can get general within a few dozens of hours, so the rank means nothing imo... The thing I hate too, is when you look at the scoreboard, 3/4 of the players are a senior officer, which is unrealistic. I know I know 2142 is pretty far away from realism, as well as the battlefield series... but seeing 3/4 of the players being is ... not cool

1) not a good reason, the fun in bf2 is that a rank is satisfying. Anyway, to get nice guns in bf2 you only have to get 20 000 pts, or 50 000 if you want them all... and you know it, when you have already 10 unlocked guns, the 4 that left suck..Doperwt. wrote:

2) Well In bf 2 you also play with 2 teams on one map and most people just play the mec maps, so also just 2 teams;)
3) ok we miss a big buggy, but alsmost even number of vehicles
4) well if an emp missile hits your airplane, all controls go down and you crash (more realistic )
5) weapons are different. so are the weapons of bf2 compared to bf vietnam and bf1942
6) fast attackchopper. more balanced, not j10 whoring= more fun
