Battlefield 2142…
Here are some screenies from the game. I have included some from the demo and beta.
I did not have any trouble with the install, the zero-day patch, or logging in. I have not been kicked due to pb or the master server. The game runs fair on my aging system. In single player, with 32 bots in the mix, it will start to lag. I had the same experience with bf2, btw. The online bit has it’s issues, once logged into a server, I didn’y encounter any difficulty. I didn’t see the IGA as that noticeable and some of the billboards were fictitious. Although, one real sponsor in a map does give the impression of corporate domination.
This “game” feels more like a mod. Although, most mods don’t suck $50 outta your wallet. I didn’t get bf Vietnam due to this. 2142 does add a new gameplay mode with “Titan”. This is only available online, I expect more than the usual newbish behavior as people learn the strategy and tactics.
I am not a fan of this whole “ranked server” thing. I don’t think I should have to pay an extortion fee to enable stat tracking on my server. EA, just look at the way Counter Strike is kicking your ass. Easily four or five times as many people online at any given time. And 10 times as many servers. I should put a Desert Combat server back up just to spite you!!!!
