Got the Deluxe Edition from the States and installed it here in Austria ... anywhoo

Pretty cool game so far. The city maps are tough as hell to really get anything done. I think I prefer the Titan modes better since they seem to have all the vehicles whereas Conquest looks almost like IO on BF2 with a smattering of vehicles in it (walker for one team that spawns once in a millenium and a few cars).

Any tips at all for a newbie?

Never go prone in CQC
Never unlock Voss L-AR
Never turn your tank towards enemy with it's vulnerable back

Remove all recoil from G36E, add a bit power and make it full auto, then you have a Voss.

Baur is the honorable weapon to use, deadly in the right hands, useless in a noobs hand.

QFT!!!


The BAUR is an honorable weapon, and will beat the Voss at med/long ranges, and close if you add the shotgun to it. It's more rewarding to use, and if you can use a BAUR effectively you can use anything and own with it.

Yeah with it's vulnerable back that's why you can release the shield power on you pressing X or was it C

Why he/she can't open the Voss? It's everyone's own choice and Voss is pretty good weapon btw

My tip: You will learn some day......about everything

Well, yeah, he'll learn, but I don't think I made a wise decision unlocking the Voss first. You learn to fight better with a BAUR

The Voss is the worst Assault Rifle, however it is (for some reason) the most used and thus gets the rep as the overpowered gun due to the fact that everyone uses it so most people are most often killed by it. The other four ARs (I count the Lambert as an AR) are allot better than it IMO.

I too made the mistake of unlocking the Voss first   Personally i use the Krylov now as i find that gun pwns the rest.
  • Never use burst fire with the LMG's: They get more accurate the longer you fire. (or never use lmg's)
  • Destroying the guns under the titan are a cheap and easy way to earn points fast. (AA/Chopper/Engi will do the trick)
  • Always get into a squad or create one and give orders. A squad leader that gives effective orders will earn the squad (and himself) twice as many points.
  • If playing  "Fall of Berlin" always try to get into position 2 of either apc. If you have a reasonable driver you can rack up absurd amounts of points.
  • NEVER park your titan over a missile silo unless you want abuse from your entire team. (missiles from the silo will hit your titan regardless of who controls the silo)
  • Never camp. Nadewhores are still prevalent and given that almost all medics have rockets with massive a splash radius, you won't last long.

If i think of anything else i'll post it.

Yea, I JUST got BF2142. I would've gotten it sooner, but I played it at a LAN about 8 months ago and was turned off heavily by it. Decided to give it another chance since I could get the Deluxe Edition for $3 more over the normal on Amazon. Plus, BF2 was getting kinda old, to be honest.

Thanks for the tips, folks. I was looking into arming my assault kit in the beginning to have the heavier weapons and my Recon to be more of a spec ops soldier. Hopefully I'll get it right the first time around and then as I rank more, I can build the other kits up.

I just want a better gun. I wanna use Recon, but I don't want the friggin sniper rifle. Sniper rifle on this game seems almost pointless in many terrains.

Correct, say capn, what is you bf2142 name? I would like to play with you sometime.

Edit: And help you get your Assault Carbine which is the best gun I've ever used..

Ever since I unlocked the Baur, it's been my weapon of choice for the Assault class, even one of my favorites for the game. It basically allows me to snipe people pretty effectively. Hell, I've even outsniped Recons with sniper rifles before. And if you get good enough with it, it can be effective even at CQC (aim to their upper legs and let the recoil pull it up their body). I find the best thing to do at mid/long range is to go with single shot. You'll be able to take down the enemy with 3-5 well placed shots, and you won't spread like you would with burst fire.

Seriously, took the words right out of my mouth.  Dr. Strangelove is also correct about the Voss, it's the most bitched about because everyone uses it, and it is also the worst assault weapon given the scar got a massive boost of potential a while back with 1.40.  Voss recoils so bad when it hits full automatic, and I can't hit shit at a distance--probably cause I'm so used to Baur.  Deviation wise, Burst-fire wise, Voss is inferior to all other guns, and the recoil--christ I can't stand it.  The only reason Voss is used is because of the massive clip size which screams 'spraaaaay!'  Most of my deaths are the result of being unable to disengage and fall back, vehicle comes along and splatters me, or (you guessed it) some bitch gets the fraction-second jump on me by opening up with a Voss as he comes around the corner ten feet away.

Lesser note, I'd also say running out of bullets in my 20 round clip doesn't help much either.  Of course, thats only after creating a pile of corpses around me.  Add me to your buddy list, game name is Drenar

Is there some sort of wiki like we have here on BF2s but for 2142? I just bought the game today and I don't have access to my home computer until the weekend (yay for university) so I thought I could read up on the maps, weapons, vehicles etc.

I'm just looking for a general description of the game features. I don't think someone's willing to type everything I want to know in one post
I'll google a bit, maybe I can find something.

Edit: ok, so apparently my shitty laptop here can actually run it (everything on low though ). I had to play with the touchpad mouse , if you ever willingly want to get a headache then play an FPS with that... I can't wait to play this at home with some better graphics and a mouse

Question: what are you firing when you rightclick as a walker passenger? Emp shells?

yes EMP  they are guided with tone on aircraft.   you can launch them at tanks close range and they hit sometimes.

How many 64 player maps are there? Also, some maps are designed for 48 players. Are these Titan maps?
