[PC] Battlefield 2

I think by fast they mean that the action is a bit more arcade-like. BF2 is definitely more realistic, so there's not much in the way of the "heat of battle," if you know what I mean. Often times, you'll be dead before you know what hit you.

The thing I do like about 2142 is that it does cater a bit to the cinematic experience. When you get in a walker and hear the servos whining as you take your first few baby steps, or when you take your first launch pod onto the enemy titan and begin boarding, you get a sense that you're important to the cause as a soldier.

BF2, I would say, goes great lengths to make you dispensable.

I'll buy the game once the price goes down to 30 bucks or below, but it came out much too soon for me to want to spend more money on it. The few cheap thrills I do get from bringing down an enemy walker or grabbing the dogtags from a downed enemy aren't worth all the trouble I'll bet dice will cause with support.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

Agreed. If they turned FF on for claymores, but left it off for mines, I think it would balance it out a little bit.
Or if you could blow up claymores with a grenade or c4 pack, that would really cut down on the spam and the overpowered snipers. Invincible claymores was a really retarded idea.

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

Or did no one see it since gaming skipped right past it?

Honestly? Not really. I like the idea of a racer using the driving physics in BF2, but I'd have to see more modifications done a la Mario Kart or Twisted Metal before I took any interest in it.

I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body?

It was good for a change of scenery, but until now the lack of stats was what kept me away.

Will they have ranks, unlocks, medals, etc? Not to seem greedy, but that's my whole reason for playing BF2. Having a persistent account is gratifying.

I was speaking idiomatically.

My vent buddies have kinda drifted away from the game for now, but I'm always up for some squad action. I just need to make it a habit to check Xfire to see what's going on more often.

(Is it Friday that's the usual day for you guys to play? That'd be my luck, since I usually don't get off until after 10p central on Fridays.)

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?

Anyways, thats just a buffer to make my wait for Forgotten Hope 2 less hellish. Man, I can't wait for that mod.

But yeah, I'd be down for some squad action myself. Drop me a line, all! Tonight even. I noticed quite a few of you are on Xfire right now.

I wanted to get 2142 even after all the negative press, but I was waiting for it to hit the $20 sweet spot before I picked it up. How's the stability/patch stuff? Is EA giving it decent support?

FELIPE NO
