And it's shit, unless you've got nostalgia.

Fuck off, it's still amazing.

Far better than any garbage currently on the market.

I wonder if they can improve combat on the titan. Multiple times Ive right clicked to aim and my mouse movement gets real fucky.

Only happens on the titan now and then. Also walking around on it is weird.

I think that has something to do with it beeing moved.

had an insanely close titan match on the EU server yesterday, we basically won by 2 seconds.

Both titans blew up on the victory screen, shit was intense.

Holy shit

What?

The guys who made the BF2 revive happen also did it for 2142 now, it's glorious.
battlelog[.]co, you can download it via their launcher or torrent. Northern strike included, completely free to play ranks and everything working perfectly.

At peak times you can get around 8 full 64 man servers, at the moment you have 1 full and 3 around 50+

holy shit

>EU faction
>2/3 of uncovered faces are obviously negroid, while rest are masked
It's amazing that the Swedes were such cuckolds even back then, though it can be argued that the just predicted the real future of the continent.

Nah, in the future they just pay chimps to fight out the wars for them.

Thing is you didn't notice it back then because you didn't let media or internet pump bullshit straight to your brain.

Is the battleog launcher acting up for anyone? I can't get mine working

Works fine for me, what's the problem?

>burger spotted
The only country that's cucked more is the US.

and just as you say that it starts working again

thanks user

How do the unlock points work?

Sometimes I get none for ranking up, sometimes I get one, sometimes I get two.

Or is it just the masterserver fucking about?

Some people are getting that problem, I think you just need to wait a bit for the points to come in.

Registered just now. I'll have to free up some space though, dammit.

>you have to register
NO THANK YOU

literally just your email.
Can be throwaway as far as I know.

>burger
Try Slavistan, you know where we don't have these creatures?

I'm honored that Belgrade is a playable map, but at the same time, I'd vastly prefer to kick out the chinks with my eurobros without stinking niggers everywhere.

Oh shoot. I somehow missed the bf2 revival entirely. Gonna play both now. How's the ping?

Pretty good, playing on AUS servers gets me about 50-60 ping.

Not at home, is the 2142 pack 6gb like the original CD?

My folder is about 2.6 GB but I don't remember how much I downloaded.

Played 4h straight

Its still best bf in the series so much fun running around with actual squad

daily reminder, EA fucked with the offline ranking system mod.

>Any signs of non-whites in a videogame warrants cuckposting now
It didn't matter when the game released, why does it matter now?

Played in an excellent squad, basically everyone followed the lead and nobody strayed off. And of course we won the game.
Cred Forums squad when?

mother of god

too bad i suck at it compared to the neets who played it for years, but it's still fun as shit. wish we could get casuals involved so i don't feel so shit at it, lol

who's support master race here ?

Keep running into my turrets dumb niggers

Time to tear up gibraltar again

I missed the old stomping ground

I've never played BF2142 before but I'm sitting in the middle of the rankings every match.

Heavy Machine Gun all the way

maybe all the neets who used to cream me last time i played moved on to other things

might give it a shot this weekend then, i didn't actually own bf2142 until recently but back in the late 2000s i played the online demo religiously lol

I dont really understand the support class in this game.

The gun makes no sense how it gets more accurate as it shoots, makes it pretty unusable

>yfw SNIPER PRATIVNIKA
>a fellow squadmates takes a bullet

The HMGs are funny in that they get more accurate under sustained fire.

You can unlock a magazine-fed shotgun and the Ganz, an alternate HMG.

Sing it, brother

is the shotgun as good as the underbarrel for the assault class?

currently just been maining assault.

>no links to anything

You fags are useless as ever.

I hold down the first few rounds to get accuracy bonus then start bursting so it not gonna heat up pretty simple, take practice though

there's multiple in the thread faglord

now make like a tree and off yourself

...

is the big sniper rifle worth unlocking?

Whats the best weapon unlock out of all the classes?

read the thread dumb cunt

If I remember correct the big rifle doesn't one shot anything, while the standard one still two shots. The unlockable also has a very small clip, not making it ideal for extended sniping from a camping position.

What are player numbers like? Is it just 1-2 populated servers?

so if it doesnt one shot anything, whats the point of it?

And for unlockables, go for the general tree (which gives grenades for example) all the way up to the Northern Strike upgrade(you don't need this but you can unlock it), then you probably should go for the assault tree which gives PK rockets. Engineer tree with the AT rifle is pretty good too.

Do you like:
-Sniping people across the map?
-Having a 3 round magazine that you have to reload constantly with?
-Throwing away 1-2 rounds of precious ammo when you reload early?
-Being an annoying cunt that doesn't actually help the team?

Then the big sniper rifle is perfect for you.

it one shot body shots people in light armor
the best weapon to unlock is the Voss which beats out nearly any other gun at close and medium range

It leaves people with like 10hp, if they we're scratched before you pull off a bodyshot they die. But the rifle was badly balanced yes.
I don't think anyone uses light armor, except maybe recon.

Ah nice, what about the other AR thats unlockable for assault

Also is there a way to rebind equipment etc.

im fucking spending half my time trying to switch to the right thing I want

Clip is too small. But the rockets you get from that tree are really good.

the BAR is also very good but id say the voss is overall better
the BAR is suited for long range and medium range with singleshot but is still good at short if you turn on auto
i prefer the BAR i find it way more fun

does the anti material rifle one shot people from the engineer class?

This game was so fucking good

*is user

is

It's Knack baby

What is the best weapon, and why is it the clark shotgun?

2142 was the last good Battlefield game and it's both great to be able to play it again and sad knowing the devs will never return to making things this good

1942>1942: SW>2142>bc2>vietnam>2142>bf3>bf4>bf2

Is the Lambert Carbine worth it?

...

42 aged horrible though.

The Real list goes:

2142 > BF2 > Vietnam > BF4 > BF3 > BC2

BC2 is last because it's responsible for the consolisation of the series.

If you wanna play specops style with C4 and cloaking device, absolutely.

>switch to semi-auto
>top of the scoreboard every game

it's so easy guys.

bf2>2142

if only there was a bf2 aus server

>Vietnam being before BC2

Nobody even remembers Vietnam... It was the only Battlefield game that I never got into because wait for it... It was fucking dogshit. Was literally a step backwards from 1942...

>anything behind BC2

I never get the hype behind BC2, it was a garbage battlefield game.
No prone, no jets, chokepoint maps everywhere, full auto focus on firearms, incorrectly mirrored guns EVERYWHERE, 32 players (lul), bloom out the ass.

The only cool things were the sound and the destruction.
They did away with the rest for a reason.
It was meant as a console game and should have never gotten a PC port.

so is there any chance EA steps in and closes the whole thing?
Id love to play but perspective of losing all my progress again scares me off

So is battlefield 2142 better than battlefield 2.

The only good thing about 2142 is titan mode

I'm having issues launching the game, the window is black and I can't focus it or focus out, yet the music plays

titan mode is the best thing about 2142, it makes the game better than 2 imo

it doesn't have as many classes as 2, but I feel like the 4 they give you are balanced enough with unlocks that really change shit up in playstyle

>download BF2
>Download Project Reality
>never play BF2 again

It pairs well with the rdx explosives I always had a lot of fun with that combo

they really need to split engineer and AT apart in all bf games after 2142, it's a shit show having both abilities in one class.

Medic/assault being merged I'm not so bothered by as there are really trade off to make.


I haven't played revive much yet, are the titans immobile only after the shields are down?

Are there any console commands I can use to improve my gameplay experience?

I am rubber banding everywhere even when I have good ping.

this guy knows whats up

I can't recall titan movement

they always fly everywhere throughout the whole match for me, so they might be able to move even with shields down, not sure if they changed it from vanilla though

where did everyone in the aus server go?

neck yourself

it's daily shitposting hour, they'll be back eventually

Oh...

Ausfag here keen to play their servers slow as shit tho will be 30 min

I want to jump in, but I have a question - how do games work? Like, is it super tactics based like the Arma vids I see every now and then, or just a good old regular deathmatch kind of game?

I never got to play BF2 nor BF 2142 when I was younger, so I dunno what to expect.

It's a bit more tactical than BF4/3 but nowhere near arma or even PR.

You need to manage stamina a bit and ammo is magazine based (you'll run out fairly quickly, get comfortable running around with a half full magazine). Vehicles also have limited ammo and don't self repair.

Oh, and no regenerating health.
Full auto won't get you far, but there is limited 3D spotting for some classes.
Squadplay is king, but not mandatory.

Better than BC2 that's for sure.

>more tactical

its regular team dm

>tfw sniping people across the open desert with the anti-tank rifle
this game was awesome, shame about the unlock system.

>Full auto won't get you far

Pretty much square in the middle.
>Team DM
>Battlefield
Does 2142 even have team deathmatch? Everyone always plays conquest either way.

i belive most troops are african because EU moved most of its facilities down to africa when the iceperiod started.

>trying that anywhere beyond 5m

meh.

Semi auto is king, deal with it.
Also heard some german accents and what I think was french?

>Does 2142 even have team deathmatch?
Nah.
>trying that anywhere beyond 5m
TRIGGER CONTROL MOTHERFUCKER DO YOU USE IT
>PAC troops
>speak only russian

Also EU got kicked out of europe by PAC and down to Africa.

They didn't "move" to africa.

They conquered parts of it.

>they removed the universal 1st-tier unlocks from everyone, now you have to unlock all of those manually again

why this

Not at all servers.

how is this legal?

>All those retards crashing aircrafts within 5 seconds after take-off
Some things never change.

EA actually wasn't a shit for once and ok'd it since the games are abandonware at this point

Planetside 2 is better.

How long until they see that it's popular again and shut it down to reap profits by themselves?

>2016
>still no BF2143

You had ONE JOB DICE.
ONE FUCKING JOB.
Ooooo, look how shiny your games are, too bad they're all fucking boring as shit.
Bring back Titan mode you fucks.

Baur was always my favorite too. Voss is for spray and pray pussies that don't appreciate real marksmanship.

Yes, it one-shots infantry.

battlefield.wikia.com/wiki/Pilum_H-AVR

Because Titans, yo.

>TFW used my unlocks to get that shitty turret instead of the Clark shotgun

battlefield.wikia.com/wiki/Lambert_Carbine

It was fucking mandatory back in the day.

It all areas but one, 2142 is indeed a better Battlefield than 2. I hope you're smart enough to know which area that is.

>But the rockets you get from that tree are really good.
>voss with rockets

I belive they had an alliance with the union of african states

best battlefield gun ever

Yup, everybody did it. The thing people forget though is the rockets actually paired better with the Baur on most maps.

need more people and less shitters, same with BF2. anyone know how to add 2142 as a steam shortcut? seems to stop working everytime i try but BF2 is fine

Oh man.

The fucking hover mines.

My mind just exploded with a bunch of forgotton trolling techniques that are no longer locked away in my mind vault.

So fucking installing this.

Man I'd wish i wouldn't get the 2124.exe stopped working crash when trying to run it. 2142 was one of my best multiplayer experiences.

Many people have the same issue but nobody on the forum seems to care. You fucks can help me out?

works on my machine

Gotta love drop podding onto a titan and placing mines on top of their hangar. Most people don't even notice them and just explode immediately after taking off. Although some of them know how to avoid it.

This is so true. I don't know what happened since the last decade but it's scary how everyone cares so much about races even in fucking video games. Not sure where it will lead us.

In case you did not know:
Join fucking squads and follow orders, it gives you free unlocks.

Tanks and gunships need not apply.
Infantry you are already dead.

Had the same issue when the game first came out. some .dll was altered and 2142 stirred up more .dll hell.
Only managed to fix it by having another source to install it, otherwise welcome to .dll hell

>cover fucking halfscreen
>not better than standard one

How do I in to free unlocks? Do I get more score in a squad?

Did the masterserver just die? All the servers are suddenly deserted and it took forever to log on

Yes, squadscore.
It should track how much you need somewhere in the squad menu.

this desu

a bit sad, honestly

field promotions by doing shit the in the squad.

are you launching it from the revive launcher?

Aside from the shit default maps and the entire class system with unlock mechanics, it's still a pretty decent game.

I'm more interested in the modded servers coming back, though.

Yeah, me too. I think their servers are just shit.

>datsdajoke.jpg

Not listed: 1943 > PCucklefields

How do you know when you get a field promotion? Does it just let you unlock stuff for the rest of the match or till you leave the server?

Completely different on the Aus server
Hardly anyone is sniper
Almost always a commander
Plenty of medics
Always get revived
Lots of flanking

this isn't bf2 nigga. a prompt shows up and you get to select an item you can use for the rest of the match

>EU servers
>HUE servers
>chink servers

i hope it gets more players soon and all the good servers top being full

What are some pro tactics for titan defence and offence?

Are you suggesting me to pirat the game?

Yeah

Can I still collect dogtags in this version?

>Are you suggesting me to pirat the game?

You don't need to, it's free and EA even approved the project.

Go nuts.

best kit for titan mode

How do you actually fly the titan?

Be the commander, command it to move

This. The Deathloc servers have it disabled however.

Don't you let this thread die you fucking plebs.

Not having pirate ship battles with cannons firing at each other and boarding each other

Literally no one uses it anymore. I'm always 1/1 on my team with it.

It's good if you're on a titan, but other than that I've had better luck just using the sniper and pulling out my pistol.

Whatever you're best with. Even if it's not good for fighting in the titan proper, there's always missile batteries to fight over and other shit you can do.

Best setups for fighting in the titans themselves are your standard CQC shit for the most part. Clark 15b + the auto turret and a shield is what I liked the most. Could completely lock down corridors with it and easily uproot at the the same time if you needed to fallback.

Shiet, downloading immediately.
I'm looking forward to raging at two guys in a buggy stealing all our backline points again.

Why the fuck does it always get disabled? Does it crash the server or are they just Tourneyfag style uptight about it?

>clan
probably the latter

It creates massive amounts of lag if there are a ton of players and other objects (turrets, mines, etc.) on it.

Generally it's safe to move around while the shield is still up. Once it goes down however, moving it will shoot everyone's ping up to 500.

They should look at getting one server for the Star Wars First Strike mod going.
I miss that even more than the base game.
That mod was the greatest. Blows EA Battlefront out of the water by a mile.

>TFW only interested in this game because it has a sci fi aesthetic.

So anyone what's the general consensus between 2142 and BF2? I have like next to no experience in either and I want to check them out while they're having a revival.

Is the Clark 15b still too good? Haven't played this 'new' stuff, but that shit was OP
>inb4 only close quarters
Close quarters were everywhere. With all the upgrades, closing on someone was super easy. Granted, though, if it were any worse it would be shit, and I guess 2142 in general had horrible balancing.

Wait those missile bases on the ground still do stuff even when the titans shield are down?

I thought once shields are down its all boarding action from then on

>it's a positive OP with 170+ replies

one is sci fi, one is not

anyone can get into them.

No, you can just sit it out if you have more map control.

Mother of God!

Those rockets still continue to fire and deal damage to the now exposed hull.

No
After shields are down you can start chipping on the Titan Hull HP either by assaulting the core or keeping control of the missile silos

Oh fuck yes.
It was the Battlefront 3 we never got.

Just try both and decide for yourself. They are free.

2142 is better but its balancing sucks, PAC pretty consistently had better gear/vehicles

>EA actually wasn't a shit for once and ok'd it
this is unfathomable to me. Publishers never do shit like this, especially big ones like EA.
>nintendo constantly c&d's everything, even fan games
>EA oks basically pirating an old game of theirs
crazy

so what's the status on bf vietnam? 1942?

So that's why we kept winning as PAC.

What reasons besides titan mode makes 2142 better?

this is the good old times man. good old times

Fuck me there are a lot of games I wanna play lately. How am I supposed to graduate from NEEThood at this rate?

Servers are toast again

I had no idea what the fuck was going on, but I had fun. Any scrub tips?

Is there a way to unlock all the weapons just so I can dick around in single player. I don't have time to grind. I tried the old ways but they don't seem to work?

>tfw playing on knife and defib only servers

Oh shit that actually works already. They have a comp-stomp server up right now.
Also some of the devs are looking into further development right now.
battlelog.co/post.php?id=18424&page=1

Now it just needs some players again.

Easiest unlocks of my life

Great squad system, fun commander stuff, a lot of neat gear in general

Yeah, no kidding. I'm still undecided as to which game had the best knife / defib combat. BF2 or BF2142.

bump

anyone knows how to confirm request like, ammo here or med pack here ???

What about flash bangs and good smoke grenades

>confirm requests
Don't you automatically say that stuff when you throw a chest at them?

too bad I can't play it right now, not enough free time :(
one of my favorite games of all time. Matches could end up being pretty epic.

>Roger that
>throw your pack with right click

ahhh that's why i can't find it any where on the communication wheel, tank !

Do you have to use their launcher? I still have my old cd and another copy on origin

Yes.
The original masterserver was disabled so you need their thingy.

>Aoix still not banned
cumon step it up

You can just download the launcher and then point it to the installation you already have, I believe.

ok, one last bump then I'll give up.

we got a steam group or something for this?

Looks good, I'll be giving this a download for 2142

I honestly didn't know you couldn't play it anymore but the fact it has active servers is good enough for me to play some again

Yeah and 2/3rd of PAC are japs, rest are slavs. So what?

I can make one, Cred Forums squads could be neat.

They aren't that bad compared to Ubisoft, they seem to be slightly learning.

The only raifu ever that keeps you warm and cozy even through the harshest of winters.

It is done.

As a heads up, the name time someone decides to make a thread about this I would advise having a link to where to get and how in the OP, a lot of people will probably overlook such a vague OP

EA is going to shut this shit down if it gets too popular and steals players from BF1.

I'm pretty sure normies don't care about this as much as they do about BF1. But it is possible.

The team did get the okay from EA though. At worst, EA will claim it to itself.

Does anyone here play Project Reality? I've downloaded and installed it three times or so now, and every time I try to play it, the community shits out at me, so I can't get a grip of the game. I ended up making my own squad to play alone, and a bunch of people joined asking me to leave. Honestly, is it even worth playing then? The community is full of insider groups and mean autists. I have more fun playing H&G for the Soviets.

I was excited to play it. I tried it out, it was kinda fun but I feel like it is missing something that BF2 had

You need cooperate, or PR not for you.
Though you can play as a sniper.

Didn't expect this to blow up like it did

Cooperation goes both ways.

So ask for an invite and cooperate? You're not meeting them 50/50. You're walking into a coop heavy game with the idea that everyone is in secluded autistic groups, and that offends you somehow.

You want them all to cater to you immediately. You don't want to join a group, you don't want to be "autistic." You're not meeting them halfway. You're taking one step in and getting offended everyone doesn't disband their groups and cater to you. You're a fag.

I wouldn't be surprised if they're being assholes to him right out of the gate without even considering the chance that it might be his first time, giving little advice and lashing out at him
Squad-based games are always like that, especially when they're not massively popular

You assume too much. I have done that, to no positive outcome. I haven't acted obnoxious either. Nobody wants to help the noobie because nobody wants to lose because someone in their squad lacks experience or has setup problems.

Type in chat "new to PR, looking for a squad. Will follow orders"

Play squad then. Community is helpful and nice for the most part

Is PR still being played?

I've looked at Squad before, but I get sick of desert confrontations quickly. I don't see what it offers that is different to other FPS games, aside from your point about a potentially better community.

I suppose I'll just stick to playing by myself. Thank you, regardless.

>I don't see what it offers that is different to other FPS games
PR-like mostly gameplay.

>mfw after BF1 dice make BF2143
>mfw they casualise the game even more and give it the BF1/battlefront UI

Just cuck my franchise up senpai

>they casualise the game even more
You literally can't.

I thought BF3 was as casual as the series could go but then Battlefront happened.

>but then Battlefront happened
I just wonder, what if they going to full mad and make one class, no vehicles, no perks, one gun to pick up, no squads. And this all on a one big map.

No it really isnt

enjoy your literal console trash.

>BEEP BEEP BEEP BEEP

I wish Supreme Commander would come back

Fuck year.

faforever.com/

BF1 has the most fun multicrew vehicles tho.

any gameplay webms?

>no knife/defib only on revive for fast unlocks

What do I do if I don't want to grind again for 200 hours?

fuck me, I was about to go shit on babbys playing BF4 or something, but someone already set up a 2142 thread, I love it

how you guys doing in game? I'm still getting rid of bullshit habits like hipfiring and spraying, otherwise usually top 1/3 of the team

ironsights on bf2 and 2142 don't mean anything

Neat, I'll try it out, thanks

pretty sure they reset spread after sprint faster

I'm either at top 5 on the server or the worst one on the server, I'm really inconsistent. I'd say I'm pretty good when it comes to infantry combat but the games I do bad are those where I constantly get raped by a gunship and there is nothing I can do about it because there is literally no AA options in this game other than walker second slot / those turrets

i've been playing infantry only gibraltar/cerbere mostly, but yeah good pilots absolutely rape people

Slight zoom and less spread/bloom. Or rather, slower spread and bloom buildup.

Best AA in the game is another gunship, but those always fuck off to ground pound for muh kills.

Nothing

NOTHING is better than fucking up people with your bud in a walker.

I'll fite you if you disagree

FOr you new people, here's what you need to unlock

Assault: Go for the Baur H-AR and the rifle rockets. Voss L-AR is a meme that sucks at hitting anything past 50 meters and takes forever to kill someone. AED defibber and the medic box are your best point-gainers during protracted firefights.

Support: Default MGs are good and many prefer them to the Ganz HMG, but the Clarke Shotgun is in a role all its own and produces shittons of salt because it has a ludicrous 1HK range. Your ammo box is your best point gainer during firefights, and the holographic shield WILL save your ass more times than you can count.

Recon: Ignore Zeller, acquire Lambert Carbine. Zeller STILL takes 2 hits to kill like the default sniper rifles but only has a flater trajectory for long distance proscoping faggots. RDX and APMs are your best friends; APM friendly and enemy titan entry points, RDX enemy vehicles after getting close to them with cloaking.

Engineer: Plum H-AVR is your bread and butter. The SMGs are pretty rad too; good TTK for close range, useless past 20-30 meters. Magnetic and EPM mines will be your best bets.

there you go.

This is truth

>is literally no AA options
Even in PR manpad very underpowered. In BF3/4 it's just glowstick.

It's so good guys.

It's so fucking good, I actually want to puke when I look at the direction DICE have taken Battlefield.

I swear it's fucking EA going after the CoD crowd for shekels.

When was the last time you saw people moving in actual units, in Battlefield?

It's all run and gun nowadays, goddamn

>Go for the Baur H-AR and the rifle rockets.
and get buttfucked by knife. Great advice.

>EA actually wasn't a shit for once and ok'd
>This web site is not endorsed by or affiliated with Electronic Arts Inc. or DICE.
Where do you get this ok thing?

> past 50 meters

Most fights are within 20 meters, there's a reason people hated Voss spam.

Otherwise the tips are good.

I forgot about old battlefield shotguns.
I just replayed bad company 1 and modern combat for the first time in forever and they're like fucking drainpipes with sniper range

It's the fucking CoD kids I tell you hwat

Why the fuck they're mad at shotguns, I will never know.

Knife hitbox is fucked, borderline useless, just like the retail release. And if someone manages to sneak up on you neither gun will save you. Baur remains potent at close range AND long range, only dropping slightly below the Voss at close range. But the Voss cannot compete at all at long range.

Pretty sure that isn't the Baur

EA do nice things now and again.
They're a moneygrubbing, developer ruining conglomerate but they occasionally release stuff for cheap/free.

Considering 1942 is free on origin and the old C&Cs were released ages ago. I just wish they'd put the fucking expansions in with 1942

But unlike most BF-games it was actually fun.

The default rifles, The Krylov FA-37 and SCAR 11, are pretty good as they are. Krylov edges out the SCAR very slightly in deviation I think, but they both were great guns until you unlock a replacement. Even then I'll go back to them because they're cool sometimes.

Most fun of the console shit series is what I meant.

---> Voss+rockets most useful for this range.

>best gun ever
>doesn't post the lambert

>No prone
Didn't change the gameplay at all.
>No jets
JJets were OP as FUCK in BF2; you were probably a jetfag if you disagree. The splash on the cannon rounds was beyond belief and rekt infantry with impunity while the AA missiles available to infantry had shoddy coding, coupled with infinitely regenning flares for jets and helos.
>chokepoint maps everywhere
Granted, but some of the favorite maps in BF2 were clusterfucks as well. Karkand comes to mind.
>full auto focus on firearms
The focus on using semi-autos and burst rifles in BF2 was because the deviation on each weapon's full auto mode was fucking impossible to deal with. Even prone, if you fired more than five shots, suddenly your bullets are going at 20 degree angles to your point of aim. It was dumb as fuck.
>incorrectly mirrored guns
okay
>32 players
Good for small maps--Karkand would've been great with 32 instead of 64, but yeah, 32 on large maps sucked.

>No prone
>not an issue
what the fuck is wrong with you
BC2 was pretty good for a console game. It should have stayed as one though. Modern combat was still better

>Didn't change the gameplay at all.
It does. Like remember BF3.

I'll take you noobs anytime!

Is Hardline and Kangzfield 1 just DICE stalling and prepping for 2143?

I played it back in the day and the game was trash compared to bf Vietnam and bf 2. Guns felt tinny and lame because of how they sounded and fired, the equipment was pretty cool, vehicles were cool except the walker which the engine didn't handle very well (looks goofy as fuck on inclines and stuff) and the hover jet things were really lame compared to both bfv and bf2 choppers and jets.

The Titan attack was a sweet concept but broke down in practice due to explosive abuse (grenade spam and claymore/re camping) which made defending and attacking the Titan a boring chore instead of an awesome experience. Also the maps were not very memorable compared to shit like the dam map in bf2, the peninsula map in bf2, and some of the bfv maps.

2142 was a great concept but they rushed it and did some things that didn't quite work out, and it shows. I'd rather play dust 514, which copied from 2142 liberally but had better air vehicles (but unfortunately no walkers or invadable Titans)

you sound like a total rocket voss newb that would kick me off his server because of my "hacks"

there wont be a 2143 unless tittyfall crashes and burns

And when it does, respawn will be absorbed into DICE and 2143 will be a hybrid of titanfall and BF instead of an actual 2142 sequel

Battlefield went to shit after 2142. BC1 was made for consoles and was casualized as fuck, BC2 brought in a lot of newfags and it was the first "BF" game that most people have played (even though it was a shit BF spin-off). It was pretty sad watching that BF stream where they announced BF1 and some of the people in the chat didn't even know BF2. Not to mention one of the fucking guests (or co-hosts, I can't remember exactly) hasn't even played BF2 expansions but still talked about them as if he knew everything.

...

>everyone stands next to Titan core
>everyone wants the final blow
>like 20 demo packs on it
>say fuck it and blow it up
>instantly go to -10 score
>win round
>everyone is mad
get the fuck off the core plz

>Battlefield went to shit after 2142.
True. But that doesn't make 2142 shitty game.

That's why i more liked when enemy put effort in defending. I can run in cloak and blowup thing without teamkill.

same's been done before with all the old CnC games up to red alert 2

None of those guns could shoot down planes.

2142 was a good game. Should've written 2142 was the last true Battlefield game. What's even more sad is CoD kiddies jumping on the bandwagon and saying that BF is more "mature" and much better than CoD now.

>None of those guns could shoot down planes.
None of those guns existed in a time with shit planes.

Is there a way to download and play bf 1942 and vietnam? Do people still play or is it dead servers?

Which game do you guys think splits the old and new BF games?

Bad Company 2 or Battlefield 3?

Everything made after 2006.

biggest problems with BF2142 I've had.

>gun spread is a pain in the ass.

>interface feels weird.

>some of the guns or loadouts are kind of dumb

>some of the animations for rocket launchers seem kind of dumb. mostly that rocket-launcher with the detachable screen-thing.

Overall much of what BF2142 does would be done better by some kind of update to Tribes 2... or some weird hybrid point between the two.

Overall Unreal 2004 is probably another fair thing to compare BF2142 to as well.

>mostly that rocket-launcher with the detachable screen-thing.
What's wrong with that one?

And the closest thing to 2142 is PlanetSide 1&2 really. Or rather, just PlanetSide 2. Maybe Battlefront 2 too.

EA constantly flip flops between perfect publisher to Satan himself.

Remember 2007 when they were releasing brand new IPs like Dead Space and Mirror's Edge? And then they went to utter shit around 2011 again.

and also the most pleb version

skilled player tossed the rockets and chose the shotgun. also they did not use Voss but sticked to the standard gun (scar and the PAC one)

>skilled player
use knife and rifle. I haven't have that fun with sniper in any other shooter, And i even don't use cloak.

I don't even remember what that means but I never had a problem wrecking people when I played, I'm sorry the game you liked was obviously a rushed mess , but that's just how life is

best multiplayer I ever played

>tfw a lesser skilled player from the other team takes you killing him personally and comes to get revenge and you kill him every fucking time

you guys wanna learn how to properly troll on this game?

it means you used the voss gun, which was the plebs choice

Just use RDX as anti-infantry. Done. I hate those running faggots.

Just play EMP mines. Nobody ever avoids them.

>Fill jeep with explosives
>drive at walker/tank
>detonate

Is Titan Mode the only mode being played? I remember that desert map where it was just taking objectives and I loved playing Support on that map.

>Gun spread is bad
Because the game uses a random deviation system. Basically you have a cone where you're bullets will go. You can compensate, but it can be pretty unreliable. Just run Krylov which is EZ mode, or semi on HBAR. It used to be way worse in BF2.

>really liked it back then since it was my first BF I got to play actual multiplayer instead of just fighting bots
>try revive again
>its not fun
I guess I just cant into nostalgia

Torrents, CDs or Origin.

I've got Nam. I haven't played it in a year, but there where a handful of guys still on the HELLO BFV server. They weren't using the most updated version of BFV, so search their server to figure out what version they run.

1942 is free on origin if you do a bit of searching.
No expansions though, which is a shame because both were pretty fucking amazing

>load up transport helo
>crash it
>apologize and repeat ad nauseum

I'm downloading it, I used to be one of the biggest tryhard nerds on that game (the type who plays med class only with standard unlocks and the shotgun addon and gunship only on titan maps)

>load up Huey in bfv
>use the lift cable to lift the spawn boat into the air
>fly around with the spawn boat hanging below you just above the ground for the whole game, people spawning on it and hopping out deep in enemy territory
Unlimited hilarity

1942 revive when

Do they have a system in place to prevent cheating?

Am I suddenly shit or what? How the fuck are these guys going 50-2 and I'm running around dying all the time.

can i play this with bots in single player? Those abilities were dope.

Is it possible to get this game on a higher resolution? I don't see any options past 1280x960

The launcher should have "enable widescreen" option

I've seen one cheater so far, fellow named Aiox.

Revives / Helo pros

Played it the other day, killed my nostalgia. It's like a step back from BF2. The design language and titan game mode are still cool though.

What are the issues specifically?

Why does no one use the radar/smoke grenade? I seem to be the only one chucking them even though they're so useful.

>better than the best(and last good) battlefield

It always was a step back for me, like BFV was to 1942, still great IMO
I can't stand the unlock system or the merged classes personally

>BC2
>best battlefield
It's not even funny anymore.

Bad Company 1 was great though, just because of the single player. It was genuinely fun.

>still playing this shit

LMAO

Any webms yet?

Metal.... Gear?

>SMGs have shotgun range
>Shotguns are basically melee weapons
>Can't get a good commander to save your life
>Decent anti-air is locked back deep in the Engineer tree, and until then you'd better open up your ass and prepare to get raped and locked down, unable to get any points to progress
>Hit detection is absolute garbage
>Titan lag is a nightmarish bundle of fuck

le contrary Cred Forums man

But its still loads of fun. I just wish more of my friends would play it like the old days. I don't want to be one of those nostalgia fags but besides some rough edges this game is still the best in the series IMO. Now all thats lacking are some bros to play it with.
