ET:QW vs BF2142

(HellToupee) #41

New bf game will just be the same with tanks that walk and guns that go peow instead of bang. It will probly still be conquest game mode, i hate that mode its boring lacks focus, why was rtcw and et so cool because of the neat objective system with a linear movement thru the level. Quake wars will be far better probly look better gfx wise to and feel better, 2 differnt teams not just reskinned will be very cool, objectives over scattered flags, and theres no EA involved :smiley:

Also mod wise i dont think so important, as in full conversion while neat will not decide the popularity of the game, what mods for hl2 have come out? not alot, by the time they will newer games eclipse them. But its safe to assume IMO that et:qw will be better mod wise than bf2142 in all the mods for bf not one of them changes the game mode from awful conquest.

Didn’t this thread have a POLL or has the other thread been deleted?

(Joe999) #43

there was no poll. or did you mean this one http://www.splashdamage.com/index.php?name=pnPHPbb2&file=viewtopic&t=14239 where the headline has nothing to do with the poll?

(corvey) #44

Yes this link and yes the topic wasn’t correct.

Quakewars will asskick the new bf game so bad that EA will start to beta test their games(!). And there has to be a major event for that to happen!

i wonder how long it will take EA/Dice until they modify their ranking systems: you don’t get new weapons from your ranking position, but instead everyone is allowed to BUY them. this is getting more and more common as i’ve seen. example oblivion:

Oblivion’s infamous horse armor can now be downloaded and imported into your game. Why infamous, you ask? Because it’s not free. To be clear, you won’t be splurging from your Tamriel gold stockpile, no, you’ll be using Microsoft (XBLM) Points (a.k.a. real money). Sure, no one’s gonna be taking out a loan to cover the $2.50 expense (200 points), but you have to wonder why we’re being charged for a measly game item, when in the past, a similar charge would have granted us access to an entire game map.

EA already does this in burnout revenge. i think EA is able to do such similar crap in 1st person shooters with weapons in the future. it’s currently only a thought, but for me it’s another reason why i won’t support them.

maybe a bit offtopic, but in addition to my general rant about charging for content which usually was free: joystiq reports that tomb raider legend is the next one. maybe you can buy a different outfit or whatever, but the main thing is: you BUY it.

what the f*ck happened to playing a game and unlock some content which gives you another replay value? no need to ask yourself what’s wrong with the game industry, the answer is obvious. some companies prefer easy money instead of game quality … and then they ask themselves why their games don’t sell … and blame it on piracy instead of themselves.

What happened? Oh that’s easy: when the first companies started doing this, people actually went along with it (nm the bitching). Vote with your wallet not with your post count.

bf2 modability?? look for Forgotten Hope2 and another hundreds of mods there…

but most ppl didnt buy it for its mods… i personally wouldnt buy a crappy game waiting for it to have great mods releasing in 2 yrs… bf2142 is to bf2 what BFV was to bf1942… did BFV have any known?? it was the same shitty engine with visual upgrades

i´m buying ET:QW for what it is, not for its mods, and i think bf community will do the same, if 2142 shows being the same crappy game, maybe it still sell for statwhores who likes to play a random deviation game where u upgrade ur weaponry through “Booster Packs”, but ppl who like a real shooting game will be moving to ET:QW, UT2k7, DOD:S or whatever… ppl who want a balanced shooter, not a Sims which releases some new weapons every 2 months with no gameplay planning/balancement

what if the things you buy is new scenarios of levels, maybe it won’t cost much, maybe the original game will be cheap.
Yes it’s true, it is a bit disturbing. but really isn’t this old news, games for cellphones have had a similar idea for quite some time. And now with the 360 it will probably be easy to send money from your bank over the internet and people will be able to easily buy things like that, it will probably stay cause some people actually like being able yo buy small add-ons for there games, kind of like small extension packs.
I’ve seen some other games for the 360 and other platforms having the same idea, I will just not buy there games.
My opinion is that there games suck and people playing them are suckers, so if they pay for shit, they can keep paying. As long as I see a bright future for the games I like, them people can do what ever they want. Stupid people do stupid things, it is the way of nature, and if someone can make money of them while there at it, then Hay so be it.

Right now I’m just looking forward to be able to whole my very own copy of ET:QW in my hands, and I pity the numbminded beings that walk the earth not being able to see the true beauty of this game.

Banks won’t be used, you buy the stuff with your gaming points, You can earn points by acheiving shit but you can also buy them by buying a card in a shop, a bit like WoW does for its pay monthly ceck.

(Svanire) #52

hah, you remember seeing those bf2 trailers and like “zomg wow” then playing it and the hours of frustration and BS. EA are not getting my money.

I really hope ET:QW drives it into the dirt just so I can go onto bf2142 forums with them going “ZOMG MECHZAREOVERPOAWERED” (black hawk style) and go “haha thats what you get for going EA”

/rant

Seriously though I’m really looking forward to ET:QW and I think we all know BF2142 = same shit differnt name.

(Pytox) #53

Yep, and I think it will stay the same capture the flag (conquest) its so stupid to play:P

(Svanire) #54

Yep it seems that they are just trying to cash in and milk the whole franchise despite the potential it could of had.

I have played the Battlefield series for a long time now. BF 1942 and all expansions, BF Vietnam, and BF2. In BF2 I am a First Seargent with all ‘silver’ level medals, some gold level, and almost all the ribbons.

Imo, the BF series has tanked. It’s like the Elder Scrolls series (Oblivion)… better graphics but with more problems. I cant count the amount of times a guy 10 feet away lived through a complete clip of a machine gun I fired at him. Or the non-registering hit spots on players and vehicles (I did a in-depth study on tanks, and found several spots that registered 0 damaged). It’s just gotten extremely sloppy, extremely unbalanced (aircraft), and extremely frustrating.

Lets face it, BF is a cash cow. EA and Dice are going to milk it for all its worth. As for me, the last BF title I bought was BF2, and that will be the last title I buy.

EA’s BF launch strategy :

Futuristic
Back to WW2 - BF4
Back to Vietnam - BF5
Modern
Futuristic
etc, etc

Funny, I only remember hate and disgrace.

I thought: “Oh, so that’s where the Desert Combat team went. It are probably the DC models used for BF2.”
