Yeah, i'm getting Quake Wars. 2142 is just a mod of bf2, its using the same engine. Yeah its an 'official' mod, but still just a mod, it's not really a whole new game.

You won't hurt their business by whining on a forum asking people to partake in your childish acts and boycott a game.


Useless post!
You shut up! Dont like it, leave! Nobody gives a shit what are you saying. How old are you child??? That is all you can say? Some useless phrases? I would say that you are 1) idiot 2) bored.

About me, Im not going to buy 2142, I like BF as it is.

You do realise that it doesn't take a whole new game engine to make a 'new' game? There are probably about half as many game engines in the world as there are games... do the math!

Yay boycott the new BF game, then maybe the new forums won't be full of such whining!!

Before I get into what I'm posting this about, I first want to say that I have had little/no problems with the v1.3 patch. I'm perfectly ok with how BF2 is. There are others that aren't however, they are not happy how EA is using their $50-100 to produce patches that stop the game from working. And I hear them.

Although I am not experiencing many bugs myself, many others are. If you think about the recent patches and the bugs that came along with them, you may start to wonder what the heck can produce a glitch like this? I may not know a lot about programming games, but I don't understand what could possibly make your favorites disappear by clicking the 'Refresh' button. Or many of the other well known BF2 glitches for that matter.

It starting to look like, at least to me, that EA wants everyone to get stop playing BF2. Ever since the first hint of a next Battlefield game the patches started to go down hill. So if you believe EA is screwing with the BF2 patches to get BF2 players to spend more money on another Battlefield game, boycott it! If your fed up with all the glitches, boycott BF2142! Or if you just hate EA in general, boycott BF2142! Not only are you showing your dedication to BF2, your saving yourself from buying a $50 mod.

The only way to get EA to listen is to hurt their business. Not with a petition that EA ignores, but with physical money loss. Show them that the BF2 community would support this game for years to come if it would just work right. They're spending thousands of dollars making BF2142, lets make it a complete waste of their time and money. Who's with me?

Yeah man, Yeah, you do that. Im going to buy 2142 to tell you how much fun it is.

You could have just called the whambulance

I think it looks sweet, and you know what, for every copy you boycott, there will be more three people who will get the game along with the others who give second chances

The reason battlefield is hard to patch is because it has difficult code, so to remove the red/blue bug, you need to rewrite massive portions

I am going to guess that thats what they did for 2142, fix the stuff that couldnt be fixed in a patch

Just try the game, come on, give the series a second chance, play it, try some new things

I should be asking how old you are.

good luck with your childish boycott. wont happen buddy. this is the real world. and they will make their money



but i do agree with the statement of them making the updates Flakey to push people away from the game. to possibly buy 2142. But the common sense side of me says...why the fuck would they do that? why ruin their rep??? so less people buy it


its more likely the fact. that the secondary programmers just plain arnt that good.

Even though BF2 has 101, I still like it and there are plenty of games it can beat the crap out of.

The only thing thats gonna stop me from buying 2142, is if my computer cant handle it.

i am sorry to say this but do you really think EA gives a fuck, just say this boycott works,(which it won't), the amount of money EA make from one game like 2142 is not going to add up to much when you compare it to some of the EA sport titles for instance the next shitty installment of tiger woods. Another reason why this ain't going to work is 2142 will be placed at No1 in the PC game charts in game stores around the world. 2142 might be the worst game in the world but it will still go into the top spot of the Gaming charts because EA will pay companies to put it there. (your all probably thinking which shops would do this, does anybody know GAME thats ELECTRONICS BOUTIQUE to the Americans) And please don't tell me they don't because they do i used to work for shitty GAME. Because the the 2142 will spend some time at No1 people will buy it because they think thats the best game, so you ain't going to stop people buying it.

Next thing if EA really were trying to make BF2 shit by putting bugs in the patches to make us stop playing so we will play 2142, don't you think it would be much easier for them to close the servers, so we cant even log in to game, because then we cant play it.

Also i despise EA hate them with a passion, but the only problem there is the fact that they either make or publish nearly every fucking game on the planet they have there fingers in everywhere so i will have to buy an EA game in the long run, and now we get on to the price $50 or for us Brits £30-£35 who gives a fuck really its not that much money i have a feeling that some people on this thread spend more money on alcohol and drugs in one week, at least if you buy 2142 you have something to show for your money unlike the booze or drugs.

for people who aren't going to buy 2142 you will NOT be missed (and stop trying to make people not buy it if its shit let us learn from are mistakes the same way you will learn from yours if its good) for people who are going to buy 2142 i will see you online in the near future..

Yeah, what he said ^^^

Seriously though, just give me a cogent argument as to why you actually want us to boycott 2142! Go on, I challenge you.

Instead of just saying, wah wah, EA are evil, they are making me spend $50 on a new game, give me an actual reason why you want everyone to not buy the latest installment of a game line they have enjoyed playing in the past.

You've said yourself that you are having no problems with the new patch so chances are there isn't a great big conspiracy theory going on to drive everyone from playing BF2. Last time I looked the servers were just as full and there were still plenty of people playing the game.

If you don't want to buy 2142, then that's your choice. Don't buy it but keep your borderline religious opinions to yourself. You sound like someone trying to convert the whole world to you beliefs. The rest of us will make up our own minds about 2142 and buy it if we want to. Just how many people do we have to have pissing and moaning that they don't want to pay for something new. If it's not 2142 it's Armoured Fury.

In conclusion, I can only say... SHUT THE FUCK UP!

Generally I buy games because they look fun. Not because some randoms on a forum tell me that the last game they had had a few bugs.

Boycotting aside, I simply won't be buying 2142 as I don't see enough difference to BF2. Perhaps when it's come down in price I'll pick up a copy, but I'm not going to be getting it anytime soon after release!
