    so since all the 2142 threads have gone down the "it sucks, spyware hax ftl" etc. road, how about some chat from those of us that actually own the game...

    what i'm getting at here is what's your usernames? we'll all add each other then proceed to pwn against or with other boardsies... then come back and mock the philistines and their bf2142-2140 :D

    in a shockingly original move, mine is projectmayhem

    add meh :D

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 804 ✭✭✭doubledown

    Installed with no problem. Played for 15 minutes. Got bored. Switched it off.

    Maybe I'm getting too old for this sort of thing.

    :(

    I'm Doubledown1138 in the game, by the way.

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,920 ✭✭✭AnCapaillMor


    Any stats sties out yet.

    Mainly going recon, very hard to get a 1 shot kill with sniper, got about 12 kill assists in 1 round last night. Still undecided on whether i like it or not.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,485 ✭✭✭Berns


    Couldnt use Berns :(

    What do they actually do?

    ZillahRex btw.

    Has anyone else noticed that the BF2 veterans tend to compose the top 50% of the score board usually :)

    It keeps a unique record of everyone you stab and eventually you get a different knife.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 925 ✭✭✭KoKane


    Nice sizeable thread, fair play to people who really dont like this game or EA etc etc for not ruining it.


    My name is Lyteo.
    I'm kinda new to battlefield entirley (played it on ps2 rofl) but I'm having no problems atm.
    Got the game working, at last, a few hours ago. Think I like being assault more than anything else, although I havent really tried much stuff.



    I think this game really needs to be played out the way it was designed, for teamwork with squads and a good commander.
    So far its been ok on that front. I'm sure its more fun in a proper game.


    Any Irish clans? Gonna make one?
    Got a Vent or TS channel?


    Anyhow, add me :D Lyteo

    Im really enjoying the game at the mo and the name I use is "Jayzus". I had the proud honour of being no.1 player in Ireland for all of 40 minutes until Roguegranny (and several others) passed me out. Im seriously thinkin of starting up an Irish (only?) clan for this game. add me on buddy list if your interested and we might work from there.

    I even made a new signature sigcopyyj9.jpg


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 925 ✭✭✭KoKane


    Cool.
    As it turns out, since that last post, I have a nack for gunning in the gunship. Although I'm not experienced enough to know if its an easy thing to do or not... AND the pilot was ****ing ace, forgot to add him to buddy list. We stayed in the air the whole match and died like 3 times or so while racking up insane kills.

    TheHig was there :D


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 925 ✭✭✭KoKane


    **** sake, look at the time!! lol

    Well it appears good pilots are hard to find, since that guy left the server I havent seen one good decent pilot with control and ability to make use of the gunner.

    nn lol

    I've decided to mostly ignore the new gunships. They're ugly and clumsy and lack all the wonderful grace and intuitive physics I loved about the BF2 choppers.

    BF2142 gunships are to BF2 choppers as Deus Ex 2 is to Deus Ex. That is, dumbed down and much less fun.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 925 ✭✭✭KoKane


    I see.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 898 ✭✭✭Winning Hand


    Initial impressions are ok, landscapes a bit too miserable and white. Played as recon and support for a long time before i happened on a server playing titan and no commander. Played for a while and got a ton of promotions and unlocks as commander. Titans are prett cool. Need to give it time but vehicles are certainly not as fun as bf2.
    So far 7/10


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,042 ✭✭✭spooky donkey


    WEll im spokyd I couldent use spookyd cause it was offencive cause it had poo in it. Mad that.

    www.1st-ib.net are an Irish clan and we have started to play it, but not serouslly yet.
    We have a TS channell on 217.146.92.74:8767 its passworded though so i`ll pm ya the pass.

    We are planing on getting our own 2142 server soon too. We just wana get a feel for the maps first.


  • Moderators, Society & Culture Moderators Posts: 16,698 Mod ✭✭✭✭Silverfish


    ...... cause it had poo in it. Mad that.

    So does 2142!!!!




    ( beating the rush, is all).


    I played it for a while, I like it. The kits seem better than in BF2, the engineer actually gets some good weapons, and I'm loving the support gun as well.

    the most pathetic thing ever happened, i got kicked off the server for askin my squadleader (who i didn't know was an admin) for orders so we could get more points, personaly that is my bigest problem at the moment...findin squadleaders who give orders and spawn becons.all in all its a savage game.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,920 ✭✭✭AnCapaillMor


    I got a bucketload of squad points for giving SFA orders. Must figure out the squad points system.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,997 ✭✭✭jaggeh


    i got a good few irish tags last night, kudo's to lyteo for protecting his squaddies from my blade ;)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 925 ✭✭✭KoKane


    Anytime I was shooting a moving blur it was either you or the other person in your clan.

    You're one knife weilding maniac :D


    I find Titan mode I get more kills with knife, but thats not using the recon and the cloak


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 614 ✭✭✭dent


    Nick is dentalot

    Playing assault for the moment as I refuse to play recon until I unlock the carbine :)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,997 ✭✭✭jaggeh


    right folks. gold badges are worth 1000 career points.
    silver are worth 500.

    i have a medal ready to be won i just need 10 kills then ill let you know how much it is worth.

    The engineer's anti-tank rifle is fantastic, if you hit your target in the right spot. i one shot killed a fresh tank by hitting its lower rear hull. i took out a full air transport by hitting it in the crew area and static emplacements/jeeps are one shot kills no matter where you hit. i havent found the sweet spot on apc's yet tho.

    An Irish BF2142 clan would be pretty sweet!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,997 ✭✭✭jaggeh


    medals are worth zippo! im so disappointed :(


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 898 ✭✭✭Winning Hand


    The more I am playing the more I am enjoying this. Have my support gunner unlocked and it makes for a one man silo/control point defending machine if you lay a few sentry guns and hide when the vehicles fly by. Finding air power is starting to reign supreme again as nobody seems to be choosing AA as their unlock path and the pilots know it. Knowing it now there are plenty of points to be gained going that route. Just had a great few rounds with a decent squad, big difference in this game and bf2 with squad cooperation.
    Online name is SuitsYou. Current rank is Lance Corporal Silver . Any word on a boards server?

    underneath, back, sides between the wheels are by far the weakest points of an apc, not sure if there is a sweet spot on it... love the engy rifle, can kill a mech in 1 shot with it, providing you hit the right spot

    ranked no.1 in ireland with that rifle :D


    silver badges are nice.... got both silver squad lead and silver explosives along with bronze recon and bronze explosives in the same round, was just under 1100 points :D
