http://pc.ign.com/articles/763/763618p1.html i know people have brought this up before. but they just released a new version. evidenly it takes a bunch of the ideas from 2142 with modern weapons and vehicles mobile spawn beacons selectively damage parts of vehicles new weapons AA infantry to counter jets is anyone interested in this?
meh, why play a fake bf2142 when the real one is out and has been patched 10 times.... btw fuck you infinity ward, if you read this...
the only reason i say trying it is that it seems like im the only one with 2142, while a bunch of the others have bf2. also some of their implementations sound good, but in the game are clumsy eg: you can only drive tanks if you are a "crew officer" that means you can only take a enemy vehicle if you are a crew officer. in order to become a crew officer you have to: 1. be in your main base, or next to a supply crate 2. when there, request the kit from your commander 3. if the crew officer position isnt already filled (there is a cap) the commander gives you a kit 4. you walk over to the kit and pick it up, thus getting a new set of weapons (read: nerf guns + a wrench) 5. then you can get in your tank and be on your way this process applies to land vehicles seperate from air vehicles (gotta be a pilot class for those) its a good idea in theory... but just really sucks when you are on the field and wanna jump in something quick and get going
Well i downloaded this mod last night and have decided its definately worth a DL for anyone who wants to change things up ALOT. Although there can be problems with trying to get the tanks and other needed kits for vehicle types you are still able to use jeeps and humvees at any time to travel around. The level of realism is definately there and playing it feels completely different from bf2 and basically like another game using the same engine. Just the way you have to shoot and kill with no crosshairs and using ironsights that actually work creates a completely different style of gameplay and i find that the mod is extremely tactical and requires teamwork. Going lone wolf not only gimps you but messes teh whole team up pretty badly. at 6am there was atleast 5 servers running with 30+ people so its a popular mod and you should never have troubles finding a server to play on.
