Well,

I don't think they're interesting, I think they're the cries of disappointed babies. There are SIX points that have to do with lack of technology. Well, I'm not. IF all the weapons in the game were über energy plasma/gauss/zappers/blaster-weapons, how fun would it be to play? If all weapons were superior it would be like playing Red Orchestra with superiour weapons.
The Titan-point is worthless. EA wanted us to get the possibility to have fun inside the Titan, not just shoot the fucker down with slow-ass missile-silos. And why Titans are similar? Well, duh, heard of GAME BALANCE? I've heard about diversity between the teams, but I they're both human factions; it's not like they're probable to have radically diverse technology. Stealing technology has never gotten out of fashion.
To make vehicles better would unbalance the game further; the guy already complains about how bad infantry is, then why the hell should vehicles be more manouverable? I think the vehicles are a pain in the ass as they are.
The HUD- damn it! These aren't special ops, they are regular grunts! You can unlock a cool HUD! Play more and shut up.
The friendly-fire argument... I won't even start.

Violent rant this, to be me. There, I've said it. It was a fun game and people are disappointed it doesn't live up to BF2. Well, I like the new atmosphere. I like the new weapons. I like the fact that weapons overheat quickly so you can't spray bullets like crazy and expect to win.

Thank you.
Very correct. And about the Titians, well according to the story line the PAC Did copy EU titan designes. That guy is just one of those "bitch and moan about everything labled EA" people.

Before the guy tries to make a list complaining about this shit, he should try realizing that its a DEMO and read into the full game.  Most of the "issues" in the list are dealt with in some way or another...

-low stamina- they have two different unlocks that increase your stamina significantly.

-no laser guns and what not- dice wanted the game to still have a gritty war time feel and not some over the top Star Wars bs.

-outpost defenses DO have missiles that lock on and YES the Engineer class gets an portable AA unlock.

-the vehicles are just as powerful as they always were, plus the little buggys even have a nitro boost thingy.

-load menus are faster and the sever browser is WAY easier to navigate specifically with the addition of being able to use the scroll function on your mouse.

-Friendly fire can be TURNED OFF if you seem to have an issue with telling your teammates apart from the ones that are shooting at you.

#3 – Those awesome high-tech weapons, or not?
This guy complained about the lack of lasers, so he is obviously 12 years old and therefore void of opinion.

OK does anybody know what patches are for. If something doesn't work right they recode and fix it. Done deal. Stop talking about you will not buy the game because the demo and beta suck

Totally agree. Also I belive the guy is trying hard to make people leave. Like other 12 year old kids. :3 The better for us I say.

I feel like I have hardly any control over my weapons. When firing in bf2 I feel completely in control of my bullet spread and recoil, in 2142 it feels like I have numb hands that can't quite work the gun correctly.

Maybe its just me.

I personally love how 4 or 5 of the things he "suggested" are already in game. Total tool in my opinion. He obviously wanted a game with everything superpowered where one side can win everytime. OF COURSE GUNS WILL OVERHEAT, if they didnt overheat, everybody would be support and run around shooting off 250 rounds without reloading. No recoil would make snipers ridiculous, not to mention assault. The sprint thing... wow, a. You're wearing heavy body armor, if you want to run further, take it off b. There is an unlock for more sprint c. There is ANOTHER unlock that lets sprint get regained faster. Fuck it, no need to justify anything to someone that wants guns with infinite ammunition, no recoil, and no overheating. Would probably be trilled with an auto-lock on feature so you don't have to aim.

#7 - The Server Browser

So I try joining a server and it says server full. No big deal, just join another server.. BAM

SERVER LIST GONE, its refreshing, please wait 10 seconds. WHAT THE FUCK!

I had a perfectly good server list, so why the fuck is it being refreshed? DID I WANT IT REFRESHED, NO!

Is there any way I can refresh just 1 server or a few servers so I can see what the pings are?

No!

I can only refresh all of them at the same time, which gives me inaccurate latency timings because of the packet throttling, but oh well at least they're up-to-date.

Oh look, server information! What does that have?

Server ip?

Nope

Ping?

Guess again

Solution: remove the entire thing. Recode. Use brain.
So true, lol.

Well that explains why he complains. Seeing those two together causes 1,000,000 pointless, illogical, and unfounded complaints.

I played the demo today, and it looks like shit, and that's on max settings. The only other problem I have is that sprint is too short, and I don't like the default rocket launcher.

This guy is retarded...

Particularly the part about... "(yes, I know about the squad leader device that does the same thing, but it should be built into all the soldiers huds)"

If it was in everyone's soldier's huds, then we'd have what we have in BF2. Two squads of 3-6 people, and 20 lone-wolf players... Sadly, despite the extra incentives I still see only a few people in squads....

Isn't it funny its over 200 years since BF2 and you still haven't got Lasers.

The sad part is, dice wanted to keep the "metal" shooting weapons in the game, instead of lasers, why? To give the "gritty war time" feeling to it. But the weapons STILL suck. They simply don't feel as powerful as they do in bf2. At least not on my $$$ headphones they don't.

this game was RUSHED, but that doesn't stop ppl from liking (crap)=]

The only problem I have with the weapons is they do feel kind of "numb" so to say, (especially the sniper rifle) but I'm working on getting used to it, the more I play the better it feels.
Funny thing is in 2142 I have way more fun as infantry then I do in vechs (I play eng), but in bf2 infantry isn't half as fun.

One problem is the jihad jets though. And the interface seems a bit bulky, but I need to change my rez before I count that as a legit problem for me.

1: titan Mode
2: kills don't seem quite as satisfying ( i,e ragdoll effects, knockback )
3: vehicles are overstressed
4: CAN"T snipe while moving
5: takes too many shots to blow up tanks
6: autobalancing seems to suck in this game

1: Actually titan mode is fun.
2: Stick with a squad and you will get more points.
3: Dunno about this one.
4: Hell yeah, you damn snipers should learn to take cover and fire.
5: Aim at the back of the tank and you will kill it a lot faster. or at the side
6: Havn't seen it mess up the game for me.

You guys who complain on the weapons, go single round and use the secondary aim, it will hit a lot better.

About his friendly fire thing -_- Duh if you can't see who is on your team then get the hell out from the army.

As one of the DICE members said it doesn't feel satisfaction as normal when you shoot pwew pwew laser shots.

Heres one, the gay AA guns that stall the fucking jet heli thing. Give them missles that do 33% damage. That would make its harder because you would have to keep your shield up allot. The "Imp" thing is probly the stupidest thing. It just stalls you and upon that if it stalls you low, you kill yourself and who evers with you so you get -2 for a suicide. GAY

LoL I havent even tried it

AT was my most played kit in BF2 (Accuracy around 50%) and tanks are easier to kill in bf2142 for me.
For one the Rockets you fire are ALOT more manouverable (sp?). Also there is an weapon unlock that fires some kind of projectile at very fast speeds (6 times faster than rocket) but its not manouverable. That could also be deadly altho I havent played beta so I dont know. Not to mention the EMP granades and mines.

On the other hand some say that the armour is useless. Point is BF2142 again rewards smart players and teamplay. For one there are ALOT of engineers now, comparred to almost none on most maps in BF2.
Also you have the temporery shield thingy that most people dont use properly.
