Yeah I really liked BF2142 it sucked it died off so fast

You guys preferred 1942 over BF2 ? Why ? I'm genuinely curious.

BF2 had appalling shooting mechanics and hit detection. Yet I played it 200 hours infantry only on Strike at Karkand. Recently played it again and I just couldn't stop wondering why I played it so much.

I haven't been excited by any triple A title for a while now, the yearly shooter crud I wouldn't touch with a ten foot pole. Anyone else remembers 2005-2006 when the entire shooter audience was so sick of WW 2 games? Boy did they overcorrect, a good old fashioned WW 2 shooter would be something I could enjoy. I must say, I watched a good 30s of the video and the graphics sure look ridiculously good.

Yeah.

Thanks to that mass whining we got... this.

No moveable ships! 1942 had naval battles damn it. I just felt 1942 was more epic in every way. Just play on Omaha or Midway. I also have no love of modern warfare.

When BF2 shipped it was also buggy as hell, graphical options were lacking, including no support for widescreen and a number of other issues. The main reason I kept playing BF2 was for the mod Forgotten Hope 2 which is a total conversion mod to WW2.

BF2 was famous for the fact you had to shoot behind a player when 'leading' your shot. Not in front. The hit box lagged behind the player model so much.

As for 2142, I only played the demo and that was enough to convince me not to buy it. I didn't like the style. Vietnam was an awesome game though and was popular for quite some time.

Exactly. They over did WW2 at the time but the market could really use a good WW2 game again. Battleifled is perfect for it that, but even a re-do of the original CoD would be amazing. CoD was fantastic at the time and it steadily got worse with each release.

Now I hate you Teeth.

How can you even comment on a game, if you base yourself on the most awful part of it ?

But fair enough, hit detection and infantry gameplay as a whole wasn't very good. Better than that of modern shooters still.

Yeah.

I had seen that video before, but this just gave me a massive sense of nostalgia... must play through Metro2033 and Stalker series again (for the fuck knows which time) >_<

Hated BF2. Those "desert combat" modders were hired by DICE and basically designed it. Desert combat was awful, it wrecked the great balanced of BF1942 and replaced the nice slower tactical pace with slower, not ultra lethal weapons with high pace, high lethality super weapons.

And no that is not an improvement, it just creates more camping and less skill when anyone can easily point and kill. No reaction possible.

Battlefield 2 has got Project Reality, nuff said.


However i have heared that Desert Combat was really good for bf 1942, but that i was too young for that stuff back then so i have missed that out.

One does not simply forget 2142.

Great theme, Titan mode, good gameplay, still had commander mode.

2142 was a damn fine game, Northern Strike was also a really good expansion.  Wish that game was still played / worked.

I played a bit of it but didn't really enjoy it. Although it did have a lot of nifty things, many of the helicopters and things were very insta-win. You'd be driving a long in your tank and suddenly a helicopter or jet would fly by and insta-bomb you. For some reason it seemed far worse on DC than any other mod I've ever played. Like all the pilots had laser targeting. Forgotten Hope was where it was at for me. Kind of the equivalent of Project Reality as it made it a lot more realistic, 1 shot kills that sort of thing. They also added like 100x more stuff to the game. It was a beautiful mod. One for BF2 is also very good.

I played in a tournament for the Forgotten Hope mod for about 5 years. Nothing like organised 64 player WW2 battles on a huge variety of maps and theatres with an enormous amount of vehicles to choose from.

WW II got played out just like Modern Warfare is played out not, how many times can one shoot M4 and feel like it's "new and exciting" the new era is coming and that's the SF shooters which suits me just fine, lest shooter I genuinely enjoyed over the past few years was Blacklight: Retribution, it was free, fresh and lovely looking with nice atmoshphere. The only shooter I'd bother looking at is Titanfall and I'm really waiting for some beta to try it out, looks just like my cup of tea.

As for BF4 could not care less, the only good thing about that game is Frostbite... I did play all the "new" BF's and the only one I liked was Vietnam expansion for BFBC 2.

Let's get an MMS where we get to play as a U.S. backed regime in south america and/or southeast asia that disposes itself onto the democratically elected government.

[Xant]

Yeah.

Really makes you appreciate Arma 3, eh.
