BF2: BF 2142 Release

I've been wanting to start playing some sort of game again, and I was wondering if there was significant interest in the Tribunal in this to warrant preordering/buying, especially if something better might be coming out relatively soon afterwards.

Thoughts?

Well, I am have been waiting to this to come out  (I think the date is 19th) as seeing all the videos and images I really got intrested on playing some shooters again, and to be frankly there aren't so many out there that would provide what I am looking for, altho this may be one.

I think about 4 of us have it on preorder, so we'll be getting it on the 18th.  Personally, I'm already rocking out on the demo, and am pretty impressed.  There is definitely a much different method to things when you're flying around and have to worry about getting EMP'd out of the sky by an APC.

I'll play the demo some and consider it.  I'd certainly like to play with you guys again.

I played around with the demo some and its pretty cool. Only thing that I was disapointed in was in trying to get my controls set the same as BF2 it seemed to not like keeping all my settings sometimes, but maybe thats just the demo.

I bought one of those preorder boxes a couple weeks ago in the best buy store so I should have it either the 18th or 19th not sure if they start shipping the 18th or thats when its available.

I'm really diging the demo too. Main thing I like is the balance, and the new kit customization. I also like the setting more than BF2 (c'mon, more Yanks -N- Arabs? I watch enough news...)

All in all, I was set up to be decidedly meh, but im pretty jazzed afterall. will definately be getting it.

 

I do hope they have an infantry only setting for BF 2142 also those games have been extreemly fun recently.

Now if only there was some kind of trip wire to wrap around the legs of the mechs....

I'm only taking the demo for it's face value because lets face it - the Battlefield 2 demo was released with Gulf of Oman.  Fun (at times) but hardly the best map.

2 hours and counting.  Too bad I have to work today.  Oh, wait, I dont!  See you guys on the battlefield!

bought it today, and as long as I can get this program finished I'll be in tomorrow night.  viva la fire and brimstone with lazers and emp's.

I'm having a blast so far (no pun intended).  I've been focusing on the support/mg path for the moment and loving it.  The difference take a bit of getting used to but I love the new setting and mechanics!  Vehicles no longer totally dominant (EMP grenades shut down tanks, walkers and screw with vision and there is an unlockable AA weapon for engineers).  The vehicles themselves are alot of fun to drive/fly and the new aircraft are easy to control.

A note for any other people using support:  the deployable sentry guns suck at range, but are amazing up close.  Put one just around a corner or in an alley so anyone entering its field of fire is close enough to get the full burst in the face and watch the kills roll in.  A kinetic shield, a sentry gun and a prone mg make for a very effective way to hold a position.

 

I think I'll be trying Engineer next, I really want to try that Anti-Tank rifle.

I have been having a lot of fun also, I do like the support kit a lot myself though I have been using my unlocks on the engineering kit currently tonight when I get back from volleyball I plan to get the 50 or so more points I need to get my next unlock and test out that anti tank rifle.  If you like I can let you try my kit after dying, once I get it.

Or, better yet, I can shoot you and take it :)

ARGH! I want the game allready... Well I should just go to store and buy it, but doing a night shifts again so I dont pretty much time to play at the moment anyway so maybe I'll just wait for couple of more days. Playing the beta on those few minutes I have free time between work, eating and my fiance and loving it.

 

Quick question though; Is there some particular servers you guys are using or do you just play where ever there is room? Just to know that when I get the game, where should I look you up to give you support/put a hole in your forehead? :P

If you add players to your buddy list you can check and see if they are online.  If they are, you can use the list to see what server they are on and join it directly.  We'll have to start a roster of names so we can get everyone added to eachother's lists.

We usually use our ventrilo server(the information is on the general tribunal section's user forum) so if you download that program get get a mic you can find us that way too.
