The Demo's out, most of us have had a chance to play it. I, myself, keep having buggy problems with it that I guess were to be expected, given BF2's track record. All that aside, though, what do we think of the gameplay?

I like that the aircraft do not completely dominate the field because of the speed restrictions - Though I'm very frustrated that DICE removed any sort of learning curve for them. I remember crashing many, many times when I first jumped in a chopper on BF2 - Skill prevails between pilots. It seems somewhat impossible to crash these new things, though.

The walkers are awesome! Ashamed to say I've already had the words "WALKER WHORE!" screamed at me. It isn't overpowered, as I was expecting, and best played with two players which nicely promotes teamwork.

My only peeve so far is half the time I'm in a vehicle, getting stunned by various EMP based weapons, I can't tell where the fire is coming from. I don't know whether the indicators are a bit twitchy, but either way, I'm sure this will disappear as I get accustomed to the game.

A friend of mine commented that the customization options will make the game, and I'm inclined to agree. The line up of available unlocks looks pretty sweet - It's just a damn shame we weren't given just a little more in the way of weapons on the demo. Grenades, anyone?

I've played the demo and...

The sound and graphics are only slightly better than BF2. Most of the weapons have nasty looking zoom-in veiws but they seem allright to use. The vehicles are well...dumbed down, the aircraft are like zepplins, really easy to fly and fragile.

I don't like the walkers really, they are really easy to spot, slow and it just seems EA stuck a load of overpowered lasers and rockets on to counter the fact that they're walking bullseyes. Plus how they blow up is hilarous, there legs just shoot off and then all the parts roll around :lol:

The games ok just i don't see the piont i getting it id reather just wait fro Quake or far cry to come out. And What a shoker ea made not giving u a file in the download. Stupid EA can't get it right can they!!!

i like it

okay we all know its bf2 wiv differant skins and very similar gameplay but the range of new weapons and new maps makes it all the more interesting.

atm i play the demo alot, its a great demo.

the new aircraft (attack and transport) are kool as they have similar qualities to bf2 attack choppers and blackhawks but differant styles of flight. So you can still circle an enemy CP in a transport and have your crew fire away. And the new drop pod system is awesome

bf 2142 in one word CRAP

Wow, crap?

lol i know this is well out of date but i just thought id tell u i love bf 2142 now its Sooooooooooooooooo easy its a joke i have gone for private to master corpral gold i like 4 days Woot Woot :rofl: :rofl:

Unfortunatley, i haven't played the game, however i've heard of the walker being too 'l33t', your thoughts?

na the walkers aint to hard to take out, i normally fly gunships so i can take them out like that or if u have a good suoad u can use the engineers rockets or the recons C4.

its all good man they aint to bad

After a couple of patches of playing Titan, my biggest annoyance is clearing the APM (claymore) minefield every time you want to enter the Titan itself. The Recon classes lay these things down like welcome mats everywhere, and since there's always a camping Support guy in one of the console corridors, they have no problem getting ammo re-filled.

Playing with a squad, however, makes this threat ridiculously easy to overcome. Grab an Assault kit with a Defib, have your mate jump down the Vent where the mine is to trigger it, drop down after him and catch the Recon guy in the middle of trying to lay another one, revive your mate and voila.

(Always take the Sniper/Recon's kit off him and lay a mine behind you, too ;) )

1.2 is in BETA, so I can't wait to see the changes they've made this time around. Less crashes!
