I for one hated the demo for a few hours, but I stuck with it and now am really excited for the release. One of the oddest parts of this game is that I am able to have higher graphic settings and at the same time lag less and load in about 30 seconds. I think DICE has done a good job.

Here is what a few hours of toughing through it will do in titan mode. 10 points for my first round ever, 3 hours later a nice 70 round score. My advice is to tough it out and get used to the new game mechanics.

What truth? You're just going on about how you hate this and that, while some people actually don't mind/enjoy them...

It's not truth, it's opinion. In this case, a really REALLY old one.

I guess you're right, everything is an opinion. And how is it a "REALLY" old one; the demo hasn't even been out a week. I tried to play the demo for a few days (a few hours a night) before I started blasting off about how I didn't like certain aspects of the game; I guess you don't care regardless since you just see anything negative as worthless and old..

It's old because when people were beta testing 2142, this exact same post would be brought up every other time.

I was in the beta aswell (played it for 25 hours according to my xfire profile), I quite liked it apart from the sniper aim bob issue (which they said they would sort) and in the second beta when they nerfed the pods. I find it odd how DICE seem to change things no one complains about but things people do they just ignore/fail.

I liked what I saw in the beta so much that I pre-ordered as soon as I could. A foolish move in retrospect but that's life.

Where have you been for the last 1 and a half years, lol? That's pretty much the definition of DICE.

Yup, but this time they actually asked for the community to pitch in during the beta. They still ignored almost all of the gameplay issues/requests but they did listen to a lot of the bug/glitch reports.

As I've said before I've played around 6 hours of the demo, 20+ of the beta.  I generally finish near the top of the scoreboard too... I don't see how that has anything to do with my enjoyment of the game. It just feels awkward, it doesn't mean I can't do well. I've never accused anyone of cheating as I've never come across a blatant cheater I've never complained bunnyhoppers/prone spammers; the only thing I remember complaining about with BF2 is when they removed squad hopping/not being able to join squads when you're dead.

Because I feel like expressing my opinion on a forum used by BF players. Why did you post your opinion?

Then why did you feel the need to tell everyone that you wont open a topic about it?

Cant say ive played 2142 in any way, but ive got my reasons for not buying it. BF2 is already good enough, even if people are complaining non-stop, because i dont have any problems with it.

The new unlock system sounds nice though, and the new kits. So i definitely think 2142 could be worth it, if youre really bored with BF2, but not with the series.

I realy like the demo, i wouldnt say it was great but i think the full game will be excellent with the ranks, unlocks, game play, other maps.

I really dont blame you for your complaints at all, I played it, but I will back up the weapon handling, you aint gonna hold it steady standing there, but they should have added it for realism rather than an issue that would determine where your bullets go.

Podding was fun, and I am sure if enough people say something about it, it will get reinstated.  And that consitutes mature reporting, not bitching and whining.

just out of spite of teddy.jimmy. i'll post in this one.

your best point is point 2.
action WAS fast paced and fun in the first beta.


they did nerf things. true. and it sucks. but it's because of people who whine. blame the beta testers. they whined, stuff got nerfed. they should have just left it to the clans and not opened the floodgates to the nubs. that way we'd have a competitively fun game coming out instead of this nubfest.
Now here's an interesting fact. When clans were allowed to beta test the game, all the negative feedback they gave on the private forums was deleted. DICE just wasn't interested in hearing the complaints/suggestions for improvement. Most of these posts were fair and not offensive in any way. One of my clanmates actually said that he would buy the game if he could make one post without it getting deleted. He posted a short essay listing the flaws in the game and why it would never be competitve. The next day we checked the forums and discovered that he would be saving himself 25 quid.

Compared to the beta and in comparison to the feedback that people gave; DICE just ignored most of the people who made suggestions about gameplay. And the "damn thing" is out in a theoretical sense. The demo is supposed to represent the final shipping game.

I find it funny how people are commenting about how people whine about stuff so stuff get's nerfed. I want the opposite; I want things made more powerful.

word!! whats up with sniping??
Aparently, you are just a nub at sniping. I rack up 20+ kills every round from my Morretti SR4. You have to get used to the sniper kit in 2142, it is wayyy dfferent than in bf2.

Well i don't know about that. In the beta forums these where what some conversations where like:

[BF2142player1]: I like the idea of scope sway but its too much in the beta, and the stabilizer doesn't help much
[BF2142player4]: Seconded
[DoctaStrangelove]: Yeah its a bit too much
[Collin (a DICE employee)]: Okay we will reduce sway and increase stabilizer time

[BF2142player2]: The body armor gives to much protection
[BF2142player3] Yeah it takes whole clips to drop people some times.
[Lex (another DICE employee)]: We well decrease the damage absorption on it okay?

[DoctaStrangelove] Guys the Tiger Tank kills itself from simply driving around. Could you guys do something about this?
[BF2142player1]: Yeah DICE its pretty ludicrous
[BF2142player6]: I cannot win on tank-on-tank because of it.
[Collin]: Terrain damage from all vehicles (not just the tiger) will be decrease.
[DoctaStrangelove]: Thank You Collin.

[BF2142player3]: I really like the support kit but the LMGs take to short to overheat and too long to cool off.
[DoctaStrangelove]: I noticed this too. While it definatly should oerheat rather fast for balance the cool off time is way to long.
[Lex]: Alright we'll change it, the overheat time will get a minor change while the cool-off time will get a larger one.
[BF2142player3]: Sounds good to me.

[DoctaStrangelove]: Yeah the pods when not near the Titan are more of an unsubtle way of hoping out then a pod. But I also think that they shouldn't be as high as they are when they're near the Titan. They should be high enough that snipers could use them to get to high spots.
[BF2142player3]:Yeah it was fun in beta1 to hop across the map but it also made defending silos way to hard
[BF2142player5]: I think it should be a little less than half of the near titan
[DoctaStrangelove]: That's a bit too high IMO. About one quarter would be fine.
[Collin]: Okay we will make it about one fifth. Is that okay?
[BF2142player3]: That would be good.

All of the major gameplay changes where because the tester said that was the way they wanted it. Most people agreed on how it should be and DICE listened to them. You may have disagreed but the majority wanted the game a little different than it was. And if I could use my beloved Ganz again I would prefer the demo to the beta.

I don't understand how people can bitch about how EA removed the ability to pod from silo to silo. It did not make the game fast paced... it just made flag hopping fast and effortless. Just how people love things in FPS, easy, overpowered, and favoring their team.

I played the Beta and it was fun to pod up high and go anywhere I wanted... but come on, get serious, that is no way to have troops move around. It was hard to hold a flag because troops would just pod from the other side of the map constantly. It definitely made a different game dynamic, but that's not how it was meant to be and it was meant to be taken out.

Also, why should clans have the power to change the game to their liking. Clans are the minority of FPS players, and they tend to have different preferences than your true average gamer (aka they like easy, overpowered techniques that allow for easier/faster points). EA has to make a game for the average gamer, not for the few bitchers that want to see bunny hopping and pod whoring.

Besides, can't you just move your titan closer to the battle, and pod out of the titan to anywhere you want. Or can't you place an APC below it which gives you the extra height to pod far and away.

Adapt people, don't bitch.

Edit: And what's this bullshit about EA nerfing things from the Beta. You can't nerf the game from Beta to Demo/Full release. The definition of Beta is a work in progress, where things are still changing. They didn't nerf a single thing, they just did their normal changes. Bitch about nerfing when the patches start rolling out, it's a little too early to be talking about nerfing IMO.
