SF, of course!

Nikola Bathory: Couldn't you call SF a mod too? lol...
They're both good, but I like 2142 better.

I wanna gun one of those titans for awhile, if I think they kick ass i might consider the game...Im sure there are butt loads of guys jumping around waiting for a titan to spawn right? Mine! Mine! Miiine! Mine!
But I still am leaning 80% for SF. I'll download the 2142 demo while I prepare myself for bed....ya right. Maybe I should have made a poll out of this thread =P

Nature is a powerful force. Those who seek to subdue nature, never do so permanently.
You don't drive the titan around like a traditional vehicle.
The Commander orders it around wherever he wants. There's four anti-ground cannons and two AA cannons which you can use to shoot at people though.

I was thinking about buying SF aswell, but i also thought that its "too late" to buy it...or am i wrong?? Isnt bf2 / SF dying and stuff ?
2142. Dont believe the people that tell you all the noobs play 2142. I have had much more fun with 2142 then anything EVER made for BF2.
Boycott 2142 and i`ll give you karma

Accuracy in 2142 is much worse then anything in BF2 +1 for 2142 difficulty
Death is much faster in 2142 +1 for 2142 difficulty
Jets in BF2 allow 70/3 KDR's, Walkers allow for 25/15 KDR +1 for 2142 difficulty
Maps provide much more hiding places in 2142 +1 for 2142 difficulty
No machine guns on tanks in 2142 means you can rape bases +1 for 2142 difficulty
APC's are only effective against INFANTRY in 2142 with a second gunner +1 for 2142 difficulty
I can keep going on and on. So, to save you the grief, lets just leave it at the fact that 2142 is really a harder game.
Oh and you only get 1 point for a kill and half a point for an assist in 2142 +1 for 2142 difficulty

I have tried 2142, it totally sucked. A half a round of 2142 and i won the round, and you guys are saying it`s not a n00bs game? right....Sgt.Gene wrote:

For someone with a KDR and SPM of above 3.0 in BF2 that is expected. nice try.Fredrik wrote:

Burn in hell...really! Oh and you +1 difficulty for 2142 with the argument that you get only 1 point for a kill and only a half point for a kill assist...have I missed something? In 2142 you're far away from needing 200.000 Points for the maximum rank or am I wrong?!
Uh...they are. I play SF sometimes and always find myself getting bored. Oh and yeah your wrong, I'm 200 points away for my next rank, the max is still pretty far away. So, then this must mean that my difficulty chart is correct, because it is.Sub-Zero79 wrote:

SF by far.
Less money for more fun.

SF FTW. I participated in the BETA for 2142 and have played the demo released since, and I have to say that SF is a much more fulfilling experience than 2142 ever was. The guns and physics of the avatars in 2142 just feel off, the Mech sucks ass, flying is insanely nerfed, no grapple or zip (two game changed elements, let me tell you what), you have to gain rank in order to obtain simple things like defibrillators and hand grenades (WTF?!?), and it takes nearly a full clip to kill anyone.
SF is awesome. With the exception of CAL and TWL matches, I simply don't play vanilla anymore, it's so good.

Nope, there are still far more people playing BF2 and SF than there are playing 2142.K3rt6699 wrote:

Basing your opinions on a beta and then a severely cut down version of the game is hardly a fair comparison.
The guns and physics probably felt off because they weren't finished yet, the mech in the right hands can be a devestating force, flying was addressed to change the total domination of jets that is BF2, there we no grapple of zip in vanilla BF2 let's wait to see what any BF2142 expansion packs bring, grenades and defibs are very early unlocks and a sngle good round by any decent player could get you both, and it definitely doesn't take a full clip to kill someone.
SF is good, BF2142 is good, they are both different games. You already know the basis of SF having played BF2, download the BF2142 demo and try out the gaming style but remember that it is only a demo and that 2142 gameplay gets a lot deeper once you start to unlock stuff, specialise your soldier and become a valued team member.
Also keep in mind the number of threads we have seen on here of people complaining that there are hardly any decent SF servers left. 2142 servers are in abundance.

Yet what other basis for comparison is the consumer exposed to before actually purchasing the final product, which in the computer gaming world is past the point of no return? I am a relatively intelligent individual, and having been a gamer for many years, I know what kind of perspective to assume when appraising demos and betas . That being said, based on my experience with 2142, and mentally taking into account the limited nature of either sample, I still have to say that I wasn't too impressed with the game, its various functionalities, and its over-all game physics. While I think that the Titan mode is an interesting idea, I did not believe that the engine (a tweaked version of BF2's) was adequate to support it, and it therefore falls short of its potential. Moreover, I was extremely dissatisfied with DICE's implementation of its unlock/rank system, especially with regard to the absence of stock grenades and defibrillators. It felt too much like a haphazard puree of standard Battlefield class selection and something like Rainbow Six's ability to completely customize your avatar--which, honestly, I would have preferred.DoctorFruitloop wrote:

SF, on the other hand, takes an already solid gameplay mechanic and adds to it very effectively--so much so that, in my mind, it makes Vanilla obsolete. Already, I think BF2 Vanilla is better compared to 2142, and if Vanilla is made obsolete by SF, well... you get the picture.
