#70 – BF2 vs. BF2142

Both Battlefields currently foster their own successful communities, but why do so many folks say that one is better than the other? And perhaps more importantly, is there any truth to it? Or is it just a matter of two different games and people will always play what they enjoy most?

We spend some time with a special guest discussing the difference, exploring ideas as to what’s worked and what hasn’t in the progression from Battlefield 2 to Battlefield 2142, and also speculate just a little bit as to what would be required to make a potential Battlefield 3 a success.

Also making its first appearance is a special segment highlighting kit usage in Battlefield 2142 and revealing some little known facts that you may have missed. As always, leave your feedback and also let us know what you think of the new intro video.

    Good job Cr1pPl3r, I agree with everything you said about each kit. You changed my mind about the active camo, using it to place RDX on walkers, that is a great tip. I love taking out those guys who run around thinking I cant see them at all, I sure can HEAR them.

    I switched from BF2 to BF2142 because I like the futuristic scenery more. Plus when I played BF2 again it rained fraggrenades all over the battlefied :-? I'm not the best player but it's not funny to not get a shot fired though all those grenades. Luckyly its mutch more difficult in BF2142 to resupply youreself that fast.

    Keep up the good podcasts!

    fuzzhead, it's hard; we talk about BF2, the BF2142 fans feel left out. We talk about BF2142, the BF2 fans feel left out ;) We try to mix it up but we sorta have to choose a topic every week. We'll see if we can't put more BF2 into the next one :)
  • fuzzhead
    i would enjoy your podcasts a whole lot more if you would not constantly talk about 2142 ;)
  • Cr1pPl3r
    Thanks Longshot.. It the next couple segments they are going to be geared towared each specific kit and weapons tactics for them , Im gonna work on a segement with squad tactics and titan tactics in the future
  • Ole
    Thanks longshot, and wow, that's a lot of hours!
  • L0NGSH0T
    hey, I have played 1200 hrs of bf2 and a lot of 2142 over 3 profiles and I think 2142 as a game is much better. The buddies list, custom kits, and titan mode, bf2 cant keep up. But 2142 is lacking in any kind of back ground story. ice is coming, you fight now, end of story. I meen what happened to all the black folks in africa? Its all EU and PAC guys running around.
    I would also like to say great jod on your video crippler!wow Here is an idea, gear specific tactics.(ex hover mines (1) placing them in cover so the enemy will not see them until its too late or (2) placing them in a straight line in the open to block a choke point ,and set up for a pilum attack for the flanks.
    thanks for the hard work you guys do getting us FRESH podcasts every week.
  • Ole
    I don't think it's a special mode like in BF2, but some maps have very few vehicles making it almost infantry only.
  • Poco Loco
    they have infantry only on 2142?!!


    great podcast guys.
  • JudgementDay
    Yes there are features in 2142 that I wish were in BF2. After playing 2142 for several months, then going back to BF2, I wanted to lay down spawn beacons so bad! Haha!
  • Ole
    I think for me it would be the helicopters, but I do miss some of 2142's squad features when I'm in BF2...
  • Falku
    My reason for going back to Battlefield 2 is everyone on 2142 is way to easy I use to get 5-10+ knife kills just by charging and most of the good players are in Battlefield 2 the "veterans" and as for the time being Battlefield 2142 isn't much of a challenge so I'll stick to my battlefield 2 thank you...
    ...by the way I have a lot of hours on battlefield 2142
  • Hee
    sorry Cr1pPl3r we forgot metion thanks for that wonderful tips. i hate listening to my own voice too. it doesn't sound like me.

  • Cr1pPl3r

  • wuz
    loved it, same as judgement day, i like the new intro
  • I forgot to mention another great feature of BF2142. Dog-tags! Collect them all!
  • JudgementDay
    I did like the new intro video and the past outtakes.

    Recently I have missed playing 2142 (I've been away from it for four or five months now)... But since I had loaded in the Beta patch I haven't played it... Not realizing how long EA/Dice was going to take with the released full blown patch (wow!) So I've been waiting patiently for the released patch, to start playing it again. Ugh! I guess I could play it on the limited servers that are our there (or reload it... NOT!)

    Good show guys! I really like having the Podcast every week again.
  • Ole
    Very good point, yes.

    I still find padders a bit annoying because I have always on every game i play payed close attention to my stats and rank to leanr how to get better and compare to the world. and when we have people padding its hard to accuratly compare myself to other people.
