I was never a BF fan until BF2...I got hyped up by the hype...bought the game and actually loved it until all the bugs drove me crazy. I patched and I have tweaked till I am blue in the face. I will not buy Battlefield 2142 and I call on all you gamers to wait until Quake Wars and don't give another dime to the BF franchise. A good friend of mine had all of his progress lost and EA refused to restore the data. I say enough BS!

My rant :-|

Edit: josh6079 has pointed out that BF 2142 will include IN GAME advertisements. This brings up a number of valid consumer concerns...please read through the thread and post your comments. TELL ALL YOUR FRIENDS AND FAMILY TO CONSIDER THIS BEFORE BUYING THIS GAME...better yet...just don't buy it!

Pre-ordered aswell from BB. Aside from 1.3's server crashes, the game has not failed me with over 900hrs of play.

more than likely will boycott - and a lot of buddies too - that have thousands of hours in.

your friends loss of data kinda of sounds like he was either cheating, playing on high point or pistol/knife servers which are against the roe so i wouldn't not do it becaue of that but because they are putting out a bad product.

quake ware does look promising but if you look at their timeline it won't be out for some time which really sucks.

Sounds like the 9th circle of hell: Run around and kill people, die, come back to life and kill more people, die, repeat. In the end nothing changes and there is no resolution.

I got BF2, but I spend most of my time in POE2 these days. Forgotten Hope 2 should be a good mod when it comes out as well.

until someone puts out a better product people will keep buying. they've tapped into that online team based fps like nobody else, and apparently some people like that.

the only reason i own a copy of BF2 is because i happened to find it at a goodwill unopened for $15.
With that said because of all the bugs i rarely play it.
BF1942 and DC are where it is at.

I'm not so much boycotting as I am just not playing it. I hated BF2. Worst 55 bucks I ever spent. It was just Desert Combat with a slight graphics update.

BF2 and EA have made me a bitter old man at the age of 20. I sure as SH!T will never buy BF2142. There are so many other games comming out by companies that dont belong on the terrorist most wanted list. This will be a good 6 months in gaming and I am quite excited for it. However it will NEVER (not just "not" but "NEVER") include BF2142. I hope EA loses their ass on that game. Not that it would make a difference but I can hope cant I?

personally i wish the entire sports line would go away so they could focus their resources on making the battlefield series the games they COULD be.

its not like they have to spend much time on the sports games. they're all the same very year except for a few little tweaks. people who buy those games every year are tools also.

****** that. I've had minimal problems with bugs from Battlefield 2, combined with all the great times I've had playing it, I'm definitely buying Battlefield 2142.

I've only bought BF 1942 and BF2, none of the exp packs.

I don't think I'll be buying 2142 though, unless a bunch of my LAN party regulars buy it.

I'm mad because they made BF2 stupid because the crappy players kept whining, but hopefully BF2142 won't have those problems.

tools that made ea like $100M in a very short time with madden 07.....:shocked: and like you said what are the differences in the games - maybe a couple new views and play configuration along with players, colors and stadiums - so for a normal company 3wks worth of programming but ea 6mos probably...
