ScootsMcSkirt posted:the tech test was missing a ton of announced features, ran at low settings and ran like poo poo, and also was glitchy as gently caress. This may or may not be because it was an old build, but theres still a ton of unknowns about the launch itself. I know DICE doesnt have the best record for clean launches, but I would still recommend withholding judgement until at least the open-beta. That will give us a much better idea of what state the game will launch in imo Fart Car '97 posted:BF2 fuckin ruled you dorks -Spotting -VOIP -Squads Assepoester fucked around with this message at 22:18 on Aug 20, 2021 |

Kibayasu posted:I played BF2 immediately followed by 2142 a year or two ago during those couple months some crazy people got away with releasing the games for free and running multiplayer servers for them and it was shocking just bad BF2 was and how much better 2142 was. Guns you could actually reliably hit things with! Who could have imagined that would be important in a first person shooter? Didn’t BF2142 introduce the thing where the first shot has next to no spread so it isn’t entirely random? I remember in BF2 the bullet could land anywhere in the crosshair spread which mean you just couldn’t hit beyond like 100m

The console edition of BF2 had one of my favorite maps ever called Backstab that was a perfect semi-symmetrical mix of urban and vehicle combat. It’d be awesome if they remade it in some fashion.

Kibayasu posted:Like I always remembered liking 2142 more than BF2 but the main thing I took away from playing BF2 again was "This was actually kind of a pretty bad game. How did the series survive this?" I wonder if 1942 would feel the same way, though I had probably at least 10 times more hours in Desert Combat than I did in vanilla 1942. Jackfrags did a short video playing bf1942 a few weeks ago, and you can see that movement and gunplay is really crap compared to modern shooters (or even shooters of that period). However, as others said before those were the games that popularized huge maps with tons of vehicles in a multiplayer fps.

Personally, I did not play battlefield for the gunplay until bc2. I mostly played for the mayham. Now the gunplay is better than alot of, if not most other games. I tried a demo for one of the recent cods an wasn't impressed. Insurgency sandstorm has pretty tight gunplay, it's worth checking out before 2042 comes out. There are alot of people who play the battlefield games for the shooting only. Which has lead to too many infantry only maps. it's surprising hardline wasn't more popular with that crowd because there weren't many vehicles, it even had a counterstrike mode.

I have no doubt about that but 1942 was also way simpler than BF2 and I wonder if that would help. BF2 just feels like it should be better than it is, you know?

A lot of people forgetting the time frame BF2 was released in. Its biggest competitors were Call of Duty 2 and Quake 4, neither of which offered an experience as remotely complex or on the scale of BF2. Multi-person, player controlled helicopters, jets, tanks, small vehicles mixed together on large scale maps in a way that mostly worked. Yes there were balance issues but the sheer scope of BF2 was really breathtaking at the time. The game looked great and played good. It was buggy but it was also a time when basically everything that wasn't a strict arena shooter was buggy, and nobody was expecting the experience to be seamless. BF2 had an incredibly long lifespan, with these very forums hosting a regularly populated server for years, because the game was generally considered extremely good. Players and Devs didn't try for the level of competitive balance that's expected now because most games were still just a goofy thing played for fun. So yeah in retrospect a lot of is was borked but it's like saying a 1960s muscle car is unreliable and needs constant fixing. Ok, so did every other car at the time.

rap music posted:You’re looking back with eyes from tyool 2021 Well I haven’t played 1942 again so I’m not saying it was actually bad too. I think being a much simpler game would help me forgive its faults. 2142 was of course built on top of BF2 so it hardly stands on its own but even back then I clicked with 2142 much faster than BF2. Those perhaps subjectively small changes they made to how weapons, vehicles, and classes work were perhaps even more revolutionary than the jump from 1942.

I don’t think we are at the point where we can say Hardlines was good, ironically. We can continue to praise 2142 though.

I liked hardline. it was pretty fun during the beta, and I don't regret buying it cause the campaign was kind of a new idea. The gunplay was pretty fun, pretty cool maps. Didn't you grow up playing cops and robbers?
