way before it's time..

I hate EA but Battlefield is my kinda game, so I think this looks alright, although it looks to be the same engine, basically just a mod....

BTW i posted it weeks ago in another thread but you people seen EA's game called Spore?

looks damn nice, type spore into youtube

c312 · 03-21-2006, 01:51 PM

spore looks like it'll be an incredibly new and amazing type of game, but it just seems like it would be too monotonous for my liking.

The real question about BF2142 is whether or not they will provide buggy-like vehicles and explosives for suicide bomber attacks...

did you see the invisible guy in that video, I cant wait to sneak up on a sniper with that biggrin:

I hope it turns out good, and its not rushed out the door

So soon after BF2... Its rushed out the door. Expect bugs out the ass, exploits overlooked that were beyond obvious. Balence that doesnt exsist, and weapon statisitcs that boggle the mind (IE damage).

Features

* More details are expected to be revealed at BF-CON (April 28-30, 2006) and E3 (May 2006).
* Uses the same core engine as Battlefield 2, with improved visual and physics engines.
* Thanks to this, more time can be spent developing new weapons, vehicles, maps, etc..
* Maps can provide ideal vehicle-to-player ratios.
* More work has also been put into ensuring the game is balanced at release
* Uses a similar squad system to that of Battlefield 2, but improved - for example squad leaders can now deploy a beacon which their squad-mates can spawn from, even if the leader dies
* Parachutes are no-longer issued to troops - replacement is currently unknown
* Grappling hooks and night vision (á la BF2: Special Forces) may be included - undecided
* Expected to contain a new commander system, co-op mode (for teaming up against AI opponents) and possibly even an entirely new game-mode for the Battlefield series

Maps

* Brand new locations and scenarios - set in the year 2142.
* Most of the maps are based in North Africa (since this is where most of the remaining land is)

Teams and Classes

* Players can play as the "American-European Alliance" (Continental America and most of Europe) or "Pan Asian Coalition" (made up of Russia, Middle East, India).
* No Far East countries - possible add-on in the future?

Vehicles

* Heavily influenced by futuristic sci-fi movies, such as Aliens.
* Similar mix of vehicles as in previous Battlefield titles (tanks, APCs, transport, etc.), but with the addition of Mechs.
* Mechs are armed with an anti-aircraft gun, TOW anti-tank rocket launchers, and anti-infrantry mini-guns on each arm
* Other vehicles will be given more powerful weaponry to balance this out, such as EMP
* Helicopters are replaced by blade-less hovering ships
* Fighter jets are to be included, but details aren't yet known

Weapons

* Although futuristic-looking, still based on current weapon technology on the whole (ordinary bullets).
* EMP grenades to scramble vehicles' vision and reduce their speed
* Number of new mines to use: Chaser (anti-tank)
* Artillery will still be included

Fuck that shit, they should finish BF2, and then work on a brand new engine, one that fucking WORKS.

this looks like a mod(and should be one instead of a whole new game), in one of those screenshots one of the soldiers is carrying a c4-detonation thing very similar to the one in bf2 eek:

Yeah but think this is way better quality than any old mod could do unless you spent forever making it. oOo:
