Edited by: Micheal Dietrich on 17/06/2008 19:23:38 So my brother got this for me the other day for my birthday. Spent a few days playing single player before I moved up. Granted I'm brand new and don't have the fancy gear I had some issues with the multi-player.
First off was the spawn point camping. At one point I was repeatidly killed 6 times to a guy in a mech as I would literaly spawn right in front of him. Other occasions there'd be a sniper on a roof top that would kill me as soon as I popped.
Another thing is I'm wondering how secure the game is from hacking. Maybe I was just seeing things last night but at one point I had found a spot that I felt pretty secure at with only one entry point and I swear a guy came up to the wall, stuck his gun through the wall, and shot me dead.
Also kept finding people in spots that I couldn't figure out how to get up but maybe I was just being blind.
So far though I'm not deterred since I love the concept of multiple people in vehicles and what not.
I'm curious if anyone else plays and if they have any favorite servers? I've got 2 long skills training on both toons so I'll be hitting up BF 2142 for a few more days.

I play it... don't have a favorite server or anything.
The game is pretty secure from hackers if you play on the secure servers. Ifyou never ever want to be spawn camped in, just play titan mode.
One thing the BF series has a problem with is clipping... if someone's foot is sticking through the wall you can kill them by shooting it .
Getting into spots you can't reach on foot requires one of the air vehicles... you can jump out and parachute

Yeah I can't remember the name of the map. One side starts at the docks and the other is on a hill base and theres a burning town in between the 2. 1 mech and one buggy (that I love to kamikaze with).
Guess on that factor I had a body part sticking through then cause I was by the church on the other side of the wall. On my left was the hill to the lower area and trees were in front of me. I was laying down so lower people wouldn't see me and I know I got shot at point blank range.

I used to play it a lot, before I got TF2. I've tried to get back into it a couple of times, but something always puts me off. I installed it again last week, played for a bit and then accidentally pressed escape, which causes it to sit there for 30 seconds loading up the menu. Why on earth does it take time to load a menu?! I got impatient waiting, pressed escape a few more times and then the game just locked up
Another thing that put me off was that I often couldn't even log in to play; I guess that would be problems with their servers. I don't know about now, but it happened a lot when I used to play. I also find punkbuster to be a general pita.
Having said that, I think it's a damn good game. I never really had problems with spawn camping and glitchers as I joined a clan and on our server anyone being an idiot was kicked, I think the squad mechanism is great, it really encourages teamwork, as long as people actually use it properly... - Originally by: Kyrall Pfft antivirus?

BF2142 for me was like they took everything good from BF2 and ditched it ...

Admittedly theres always glitches in EA games but in most games I've played they've been within reasonable tolerances, atleast for me.
I may give BF2 and 1942 a look see however if I get into this a little more.
And TF2 does have it's advantages and disadvantages also just like this game does.

I quite like BF2142. It's far more team focused and balanced compared to say B2, where you get divebombed by everybody as soon as you break cover... For teamwork, you get the same one point for killing a person as you do for assisting on a kill (second highest damage). Also, you also get points for working together on a goal, so teams who work together can get several times the points.
Also, I looove titan mode. Esp with the recon + demo packs. I can depend against rushes almost indefinitely if I get help from a Support char. Once again with the teamwork.
The spawncamping/sniping tends to only occur when one team has been forced way way back into their own territory, meaning they suck. You basically got unlucky in that instance.
I personally only try to play on Australian servers due to ping reasons. Also, I haven't really found much hacking going on, although I only play on secured servers.

I hate BF 2142 very much
I somewhat disliked when BF2 came out
I liked BF1942
I absolutely loved the desert combat.
BF 2142 - not a real world game... everything is messed up since previous series, reflex based gameplay
BF 2 - crappy anti air craft, invincible planes, crappy medics, annoying artillery, lots of cheats, 2 armor units per team, bunny hopping
Bf 1942 - better physics than in all other series, sea battles, ships, strategy and artillery
BF Desert Combat, Best modern weapon game, Realistic weaponry, Real Armor Battle, heavy artillery, heavy scud launcher, multiple airplane models, plenty of custom maps and mods
BF Desert Combat - everything else means you haven't really tried Desert Combat

If you're getting spawncamped change teams or servers or spawnpoint.
2142 is OK. It's a lot more fun when you get some fancy gear which doesn't take long.
I think my favourite combos are Recon / Lambert / Cloak / APMs (cheap is 1337) and Assault / Bauer / Rockets / Medikit. Other good options are the anti-vehicle guy with mines and whatnot (for ******* the mechs).
The rifle rockets are really handy for fragging snipers.
Someone told me 2142 is pretty rife with hacking. I'm not good enough to make a call as to what is an aimbot vs. what is practise though so it's hard to say.
As with BF2 some of the vehicles are really ******* annoying. The game would be better without walkers. EVE RELATED CONTENT |

I tried a titan last night and had a lot more fun with it although the other team was kicking our butt second round. First round I came in halfway and when we had the enemy titans shield and hull down I made a kamikaze run into the titan with a dropship I was flying then it switched me to the titan blowing up scene which I thought was funny as hell.
Stil realized overall that I suck though. I got a 4 day weekend coming up though so maybe I'll get some practice time in.

the one map you described is rather prone to spawn camping, especially when one side is way better than the other
and friendly fire off + titan = suck, so many explosives spammed in the tunnels that its impossible to get through and sentry turrets firing through walls (might have fixed that since then)
that and for some reason I always had to restart my computer to get the game to run well... would connect to a server and drop out repeatedly
I unlocked quite a bit of stuff, but I had trouble enjoying the game when I played alone, me and a few other Idle members would all jump into a server and cause mayhem... hmm we haven't done that in quite a while.

Bought 2142 a while ago, tried to install it on vista but it never worked. Though i played on my brothers computer on sigleplayer. It did not seem that special. Though i cannot really judge a mutliplayer game by playing singleplayer.

Play on the clan servers, while the clans aren't online. It's the best way to get in practice without the cheap bastards who spawn camp and vehicle steal. I suggest servers like MIA's, as they tend to reinforce their rules a lot better than some of the other random servers. I also like to take spawn campers personal and spend the rest of the match making it very unfun for them...
Besides that, I'm in love with the game, much more than BF2... Maybe it's because I don't hear the constant "GRENADE, GRENADE, GRENADE, GRENADE, GRENADE, GRENADE", followed by the ever so familiar boom, everywhere I go.

Titan mode is completely bugged out. That just leaves conquest, and the only maps worth playing imho are Gibraltar and Cerbere... Both of which make me long for Karkand.

Whats the one with the empty riverbed and the bridge that goes across it? That's been my favorite so far.
I didn't mind titan although at one point our titan was seige and when I ran inside it my FPS shot way down and totally messed em up for a while. Had to log out and log back it to work right again.
So far my favorite vehicle are the gun ships being up in the turret but I have yet to find a competent pilot or a pilot who waits for somebody to jump in.
