What bothers me the most is that there's already a frightening omen of misbalancing issues - if you look carefully at the logos in the soldiers' uniforms, you'll note that there's a resemblence with a known french automotive manufacturer. Now, knowing how much these cars suck in arctic environments nowadays, I figure that the team will have a huge disadvantage in 2142

Ok i watched the trailer. it looks , umm ok. nothing great. and certainly RUSHED.

i honeslty think if they are going the futuristic route. why not just wait and recreate a whole new game engine, not recyle bf2's engine with a few new bells and whistles. Ala bf:v

but anyway.

after playing the new elder scrolls for the past 5 days. Fucking awesome, fully engrossing game!

im really keen on the whole idea of BF:1442 or something. All medeival style. now that would be a bad ass game.

and 128 players , not 64

they needa wait 2 more years for a new engine to be coded. and put this out. or the new futurist idea. doesnt matter

but medieval FTW !serious

rustynutz: I am British!; +124|6958|England and damn proud

128 would be awesome, but there would be like 3 classes
melee, with sword and shield
archer, bow and arrow
seige, with a ballista or some thing
cavalry, people with lances or swords on horse back (thx [Ahazi] Kaika)

it would be cool but hey i could be wrong and probably am

A few of the above posts suggest maps based on previous wars, for eg WW1, WW2 and Vietnam. Why not bring it upto date and have a Baghdad or Kabul based maps. I mean not to offend anyone who knows someone who is actually fighting in the war, simply to perhaps give us a slight insight.

Im not suggesting it to glorify a war or anything. Proceeds of the game sold could go to families who have lost loved ones during the recent war.

I appricate that some of the maps are Middle East based both city and open map however, Baghdad has some distinctions which if it wasn't for the tv I wouldnt know about.

I think I'm fortunate that the UK never appears in any of these "war" based games it means my country hasn't had the troubles that others have and when it did I wasn't around to experience it. Maybe MOH had some british levels on but in general it's usually German and French land your fighting on.

Im 30, and as mentioned above a Sci-fi shooter dosen't intrest me. (the post mentions 30 somethings) I won't be buying it but it will probably grow to be succesfull. As long as EA/DICE dont forget about BF2 I'm happy.

The whole idea of BF2 was that it would be similar to modern day conflicts, but without offending people. Besides, why limit the game to Iraq/Afgahnistan, and limit the game to fighting insurgents? It just wouldn't make sense. The insurgents over in Iraq are guerilla fighters, not an army. It's called assymetric warfare. It would not be a good game to release for online play.

I was thinking about this, and I have a couple of other classes that could exist (based on an old game I recall)
There is the calvary class:

And the nade throwers:

It would include the transport:

And you could throw a piece of meat to a nearby enemy, to call in reinforcements:

I love futuristic stuff but in this case not so much. I know all there gonna do is change muzzleflashes to exotic colours, put in mechs, some hovering vehicles, perhaps a laser/railgun or some shit and pass it off as some future incarnation.

It'd be nice if they actually took a while to examine where current technology is going and at least try to be somewhat accurate instead of rehashing ideas that have been wh0red since 1980.

blatently EA's way of releasing something thats remotely futuristic in an attempt to keep its auidence who may be persuded by quake wars, the vid looks cack - and if they dont keep peoples scores from bf2 - who exactly is going to play it anyway

Hah! This is utterly insulting. Dice and their bug riddled code will not be able to compete against Quake Wars and UT 2007. This is completely out of their field.

Dont bite off more than you can chew Dice/EA (DEA)... because this is one battle you just wont win. Stick to correcting the many issues that still plague BF 2, before you decide to fly for another cash cow..

In this month's PC Gamer. Battlefield 2142 is shown in much greater detail. It's a good article and it makes the game look pretty sweet. If you pass one in the magazine aisle I highly suggest picking it up and reading this article.

This is a lead on the internet about it.

http://www.joystiq.com/2006/03/21/battl … ry-leaked/

Like I said.. so far it looks great.
If I had a scanner I would scan and pdf it for ya. But I don't. Sorry.
Lucky for you the article above has them all scanned and zipped. Just click on the mag cover picture.

Well at first.. I sterotyped it to the rest of the futuristic games.. But seeing the videos looks pretty awesome, espcially the sound effects! Thoughs walking tanks seem rather cool! lol

I'm all open to new Battlefields.. But it's abit early, no? They need to give BF2 more time to be used.. As i believe when this is released, it will split the BF community into half!

Yeah Elangbam, they just did. Go to EA, it says under the 2142 thing that is an April fools joke. Pretty reatrded. That Toro guys a genius. People would flog to the stores to buy BF2: Prehistoric.

You should recommend that to EA

Cheers!
