[PC] Battlefield 2142 Is Kinda Really Lame

2142 has 10. Stop playing titan mode and you will see the rest. Im really enjoying 2142 so far, I'm having more fun than I ever did with bf2. It's funny, DICE finally adds a new mode and It's terrible. Sentry guns are so overpowered that 70% of the time it's useless to even try to attack the enemy titan core. So games end up coming down to who can keep the most silos the longest. Effectively stretching an already laggy game (because every commander just HAS to move the titan..even if it's a bannable offense) another 10 minutes.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

Also, YOU HAVE TO UNLOCK FRAG GRENADES ?!?!?!11?1?!?? Once you do though, it's great.

One thing they MUST fix soon are the Punkbuster kicks...I get kicked out of like 5-10 servers within 30 seconds before finding a server that I don't get kicked out of immediately. Punkbuster seems to think everyone has a duplicate CD key!

Once they fix the punkbuster kicks, it'll be great! The atmopshere kind of made me think of Starship Troopers for some reason, and the guns are cool, except for the pistols, ughhh, they look like toy guns you buy at the dollar store, especially the PAC one. The EU pistol is rediculous too, why would you have a revolver 200 years in the future? No army issues it's troops revolvers now! I do like the fact that the PAC assault rifles have no firing pin, they seem to be magnetically firing, which is nifty, wonder why there would still be kickback though?*shrugs* Whatever, the pods thing is cool, the aircraft takes some time to master, as they're like hover-crafts that can fly, really awkward, but good when you figure them out.

I like that the game had more of a premise than BF2, like you actually know WHY the war is happening, in BF2 it's just that it's happening, no reason why...

I wish there were more than 2 factions...but oh well, I've gotten used to it, and some of the maps, I must say, are ingenious, like the one where you move up the hill, I don't know which one it is, but it's wicked!

As for the modes, Titan is fun for a while, get's old, if you want the whole BF2 feel, play Conquest mode on maps like Fall of Berlin and Belgrade, that's when it's good. What Titan is good for, I guess, is making Zatar Wetlands style maps like Minsk and Sidi Power Plant playable, because they just aren't in Conquest mode, WAY too much running, just freaking pointless...

Suez Canal is an AWESOME map, I just can't get enough of it, it's medium sized, a LITTLE spread out, but there are some close combat parts of it too, and I think it's great.

All in all, the maps are cool, a very interesting feel to most of them, very kind of cyber-punk...It's cool!

Whatev, fix a few things and I'll play this game for a long time, don't, and I'll probably forget about it and play BF2 and CS:S more, as well as Just Cause, a GREAT, yet under-recognized GTA style game...

I believe to fix the punkbuster kicks, your going to have to do that manually (as in go to the actual pb site etc).

There's nowhere I can't reach.

Yeah it kills one hits if they have no body armor (of course this is rare unless you are fighting other snipers.)

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.
