well i have seen the evidence for the most part and there is alot of division between veteran BF2 players
i played the demo, and quite frankly, i thought the demo was going to have more "jelly filling in a doughnut" but it tasts like stale bread. the weapons are very inaccurate, there is too much lag especially in titan mode. In addition, i got disconnected 2-3 times in one round. I played World of Warcraft a year ago and i hardly got disconnected by the servers . I was in the SHADOWCOUNCIL server for the record. again very little lag and disconnect problems.
another piece of evidence i see in this forums and others is the following: there are two types of "haters" of battlefield
1) those who hate and bash 2142 becuase of the problems it has ( i.e. lag , funny battlewalker walks)
2) those who bash battlefield 2 to a pulp to the point that it has a seriously tarnished reputation and transferrring all that bashing to BF 2142.
another piece of evidence shows that more than 59% of the people here are going to buy the game. Yet , there is a crapload of people as of right now scraping $50.00 in loose change under their bed just to get the game. If you like to get the game, buy all means buy it. no one is going to stop you.
Its really strange that i see people saying that they are not interested in the game , then the majority of them are voting to buy the game.
now the question is on everyones mind : Is BF2142 a worthy game to play?
Well to answer that question, you have to answer another question: Do you think that EA/DICE can clean up its act after all the nasty crap they have done with bf2?
If anyone asked me this question, i would say this?
EA/DICE made the best ONLINE FPS of our generation. The game was awsome, and anyone who never played a online FPS were welcomed with open arms. I played CS:SOUCE for 2 weeks--- trashed it, stupid hackers all over the place. BF2 is probable the best modern warfare Online FPS game that has ever existed. I loved the game from the get go, i would play 4-8 hours a day with any class. People loved it, the teamwork was nice and sound.
Yes the game was problamatic in its own right during release. But the problems started to esculate at the beginning of this year. CTD's were happening all over the place, stupid noobs doing stupid retarded things in servers and admis does not do squat, glitches , haxs , server crashes, the list goes on and on because of one thing: THE GAME WAS BROKEN TO BEGIN WITH.
With the exception of the first two patches of BF2, all of the patches have destroyed the playability , fun, and replay value of the game. 35% of the servers that started hosting Bf2 game are gone, many players have gone as well.
BF2 is an awsome game, and there are two things that ruined it:
1) EA/ DICE cant program for shit..... they are so bent on releasing expansion/booster packs just to make all the money that they cant fix the damn game. They have abandoned BF2 support piece by piece. their covered up breaking BF2 into a million pieces by creating BF 2142.
2) Noobs, morons, stupid clans, stupid admis and so on. Well this is one problem that no company will ever fix. At least they could lower all the crap to a minimum like Blizzard Entertainment Does.
And yet a crap load of people are buying 2142. I wonder if they thought about one other question? Do you think that EA/DICE will make a killer Online FPS will a small amount of problems in under a one year timeframe? quite honestly, that is nearly impossible. very few gaming companies can pull the almighty hat trick such as this.
When i played the BF2 demo..i was blown away and i wanted to run to the nearest store to get it. When i played 2142 demo, i wanted to run under my bed. Worse, the game does not run unless you update you Direct X 9.0c drivers and files. Why should you do all that work just to play a demo? It does not make sense. For example, you built a new computer with all the latest hardware to play a game such as BF2 or 2142 with all the eye candy and all of the sudden, the game crashes or does not run at all. that crap does not make any sense and its just too bad that people dont recognize this fact.
Its like being 5 feet from the finish line of a race and the damn EA/DICE company says " Sorry, we are going to change the finish line from being 5 feet from you to 50 feet from your position." then you are saying "WTF i am tired already.
I played FEAR, Quake 4 and DOOM 3. not one of them has crashed on my computer at all. EA and DICE could not program Pac Man of the 80's correctly if they wanted to. they have the right concept but their programming design skill suck ass.
Valve and Blizzard are laughing their asses of after what they have seen with the BF2 game.
here is a quote to learn.. " people who dont learn from history are doomed to repeat it"
