Calm down.  He's saying that since it's using the same engine that it's very similar to a mod.  They changed the weapons, vehicles, and graphics, but so do all the other mods.

I did read the original post, and don't appreciate your crude response.

I don't understand why these aren't things that could in theory be made and then put in the Program Files/EA Games/Battlefield 2/mods directory and work as a mod. I understand that more than likely I am wrong and would like someone to explain it to me instead of telling me to "read the fucking post".

Edit:Thanks TMo

bf2142 has a different exe, and you have to install the whole thing, therefore not a mod

I understand bf2142 will be a seperate .exe, but you could make SF a seperate .exe, even though it works just fine in the BF2/mods directory. I don't understand the fundamental difference between 2142 and a mod, I thought that basically the definition of a game was its engine and what was done with the engine, though you could alter what was done with the engine through mods.

Hmmmmm, 2142 is not a mod because you have to PAY FOR IT.  All the mods ive played have been free, OR maybe thats just because its from EA...

EA to complete DICE takeover
Publisher looks to pick up the remaining 26 percent of the Battlefield series developer it doesn't already own.
By Brendan Sinclair, GameSpot
Posted Mar 17, 2006 10:11 am PT

Electronic Arts has been in the process of acquiring Digital Illusions CE (DICE) since 2003, purchasing the publisher in chunks here and there. However, the long courtship is set to come to an end soon, as EA announced that the companies have agreed on a final merger proposal.

If all goes according to plan, EA will purchase the remaining shares of DICE in September, "effectively making DICE a fully integrated studio within EA." The merger must be approved by a two-three majority vote at DICE's annual shareholders meeting in May, but that shouldn't be a problem, considering EA already owns approximately 68 percent of the company's shares.

In a statement issued by the Stockholm-based company, DICE chairman Thomas Skoglund said that the acquisition "resolves a stifling and complex situation while at the same time safeguarding DICE's position as a leading-edge game developer in a global and increasingly competitive environment."

Specifically, DICE noted that the current ownership situation has two glaring weaknesses that a full acquisition would remedy. First, it prevents DICE from using EA tools, technology, and financial resources. It also added that it could make it difficult to entice talented employees to join or stay with the company in the future.

DICE is currently at work on downloadable content packs for its Battlefield 2 PC game, and Xbox 360 and PSP versions of Battlefield 2: Modern Combat. The company was founded in 1992 and has offices in Sweden and Canada.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Also DICE need EA's Approval on all realeases so they should have had some idea of the kaos that the patch 1.3 was to cuase the bf2 community.  EA & DICE are to blame for the patch bugs, and idk how a developer could rease a patch like that with so many  bugs in it...

It basically is a mod. A very good fuckin mod that's worth paying for because it brings so much to the table that it might as well be a different game in its own. Just look at counter-strike for example. It started out as a mod and eventually became a full blown different game. This is the same scenario...only instead of random people making it, it's being developed by professionals.

heres how it works

1.) Digital Illusions is the studio that writes the codes for BF2, they produced the game.
2.) EA is the publisher, they have nothing to do with anything in the game except promotion and payment
3.) DICE Canada is the one that produces the patches.
4.) DICE Sweden produced 2142
5.) EA does not own Digital Illusions in full. they own only about 20% of the company.

more notes on 2142:

2142 uses the same engine as Battlefield 2, but not the same codes/models/textures. It is a NEW GAME, not a modification.

Yes, it is futuristic
No, there arent lasers
No, it isnt starwars
No, you dont fight aliens (see Quakewars if you want this)
Yes, there will be a public Beta
Yes, there will be a Demo

More on BF2: if you dont want to support DICE/EA, stop playing BF2.
complaining about the patch wont fix it.
if you cant wait for 1.4, go outside and do something until it does, so we dont have to hear about it.

are we clear?
so, there are no sharks with frickin' lazer beams attached to their heads??
