yea, I know, start off with heading like that... flame away.. but hell, its true.
Theres even more unbalance and silliness in 2142 than there was in BF2, and thats
a lot, folks.
First and imo, most importantly, the vehicles are way too dominant. I mean, how many
friggin rockets does it take to kill something? Ive used the suggested areas for target
posted here and in other forums for destroying these walkers and tanks, but I swear
its taking 8 rockets to destory these walkers at times, and the kit only comes with 5 or 6.
The maps arent too bad, but the graphics are horrible. Its either sand fog or snow fog.
Sighting enemies in this game is 3 times as hard as BF2. Every graphic blends together.
Apparently, there is nothing left of earth in the year 2142 besides dust and fog according
to dice. No clear maps that I have seen yet.
City maps are nothing but inaccurate machine gun spam, mines , un manned drones, and
gayness. Especailly on titan mode when invading the main titan ship. Its just pathetic and
painful to play, and Im not too shabby of a player, usually in top 3 every game.
The engine, browser, menus and interface are all better, including the buddy finder, FINALLY
AT LAST THEY GOT IT..and it not only took 10 patches, but a whole new game to get it. Jeez.
Ranks, Unlocks system.. Jury is still out on it, but, combining the kits just gives me too many
damn options when Im in a gunfight. Yes, thats right. Give me gun, pistol, and nades, Im happy.
I can do without all the other crap. Weapon switching now requires a 10 button mouse.
The unlock system isnt to my liking either, Had to make a couple promotion before I even
got the defib. Body armor option? what the ? What good is it, hell, .003 seconds under
fire from a walker and your dead. And thats another thing wrong with this game, more than
half the time you die, you never even know where it came from. Thats called spam. And too
much of it.
The rest of the game, is pretty much silliness, with a lot of the old bf2 lame tactics starting to
pop up... jihad aircraft crashing into a flag area with a bunch of your buddies getting blown
up. Stat padding has several differant methods being used now.. resupplying being one.
The game is still unstable as all get out.. crashes are common, and forget switching to desktop
and back to game, youre taking your chances there bigtime.
We've installed this game on 5 test machines here at the office (I work for a well known
publisher of gaming, and game review..) And the consensus at the office is that we're sticking
with Bf2 for now. Even with BF2s HUGE problem list, its still a lot better than 2142 will ever
hope to be.
I hate saying it, but 2142 reminds of me Halo, but with better player movement. Still though,
its very lame and silly at times. Once again, little thought went into development. Just fluff.
