BF3... it's going to be very cool...

I think that Battlefield 2142 is a great game if you look at it from the point of view of the storyline and whatnot, but the graphics and everything else are real bad.  Honestly, when I saw the video of it at E3, the game looked and was just in general so much better than it was in the release, here's some reasons:

Titan Mode HUD.  In the alpha, the titan mode HUD looked very cool.  It had two bars that went down as the titan shields went down, and so on.  The new one they added is too cartoony and stupid, and I don't see at all why they changed it.  Also, the little things on the minimap looked cooler

Titans.  In the alpha, there were no fancy permanent shields over the hangar, and they were also lower, and they could drop Battlewalkers like Britany Spears drops babies.

Missile Silos.  The missile silos looked cooler in the alpha.

That clicky noise.  If you notice in the overcom things, it sounds like "click The enemy has taken silo 4. click"

Other game modes.  The guy said in the video that there would be other game modes and things like that, such as CTF.

I can think of all sorts of ways that Battlefield 2142 could have been a lot better, besides the graphics and adding the things I mentioned.  Some of them include being able to bring down the hull integrity with conventional weapons, such as the missiles on a gunship or something.  It would also be nice if they added the Union of African States, mentioned in one map description I believe, as a playable team.







BF2142 should have taken more time to develop. it should taken an additional year. now a game that had soo much potential to fix all the damages that BF2 caused the community, just went down the toilet. if bf2142 was properly done, i would have played it.

Also, one thing that was lost in the current release is armor-piercing bullets.  In the video, it can be clearly seen that the guy could fend off a gunship with an assault rifle.  The one thing though that would top it all is a singleplayer game.  Battlefield 2142 has such a rich storyline to it, and that first trailer made me hope there would be a singleplayer and everything.  That trailer is just so cinematic and everything.

It sent chills down my spine at the end when the narrorator said: "The battle for earth...had begun."

Battlefield 2142 is fine the way it is.  Mostly everyone who has gone from BF2 to BF2142 complain about how everything sucks.  The thing that "sucks" to them is the fact that there is no one vehicle in the game that dominates everything else.  No more jet whoring, tank whoring, anything like that.

Thats why BF2142 is superior to BF2.

The only thing that would have made it more interesting are lasers.  Laser beams shooting off everywhere would have looked awesome.

It's not realistic.  I like how down to earth BF2142's perception of the future is.

I hate how all the weapons are equalized and both teams are equalized in so many ways.  For example, what would make Belgrade cool is if the PAC had a base to the east of the map, where that monorail is, and the EU had all the city CPs.  The PAC would have a "V-shaped formation of T-39 Bogatyr battle walkers", while the EU would have a lot of those stationary rail guns and other defenses.

The game takes away very practical ideas for the idea of fairness, as if people who play it are morons.  For example, there's no way to deflect the missiles in Titan mode, and also, when I fire a bunch of fucking missiles from a Talon or Doragon at a titan the hull integrity would not go down.  Also, here's something that makes sense: If an EMP missile will bring down the power of the shields, then wouldn't it make sense for an EMP blast thingie to temporarily disable the shields?  That seems like a better idea for titan mode:

EMP missiles bring down shield integrity.  When the shields are disabled, the enemy team has a chance to invade the titan before the shield generator can regain enough energy for the shields to re-activate.  Someone on the enemy team can find the shield generator inside the titan, and destroy it, permanently destroying the shields until someone repairs it, so either team must leave a squad to protect their interests.

I'm definately going to write a fanfiction.  Also, it would be cool to be able to damage the engines, and the titan can crash or something.
