" Come on, no love for 2142? Titan mode is best thing to come out of Battlefield since Conquest mode. "We'll play 2142 too, but they're playing BF2 first.
Damn straight" Come on, no love for 2142? Titan mode is best thing to come out of Battlefield since Conquest mode. "
Finally found my 2142 name : Marcus_Arelius
" @OmegaPirate: Ha-ha, yeah true (: "well im glad you guys enjoyed it :) for a first bombing run on a 6 year old game, 14 players going on for 3 hours was pretty damn impressive.
Personally, i still cant get over the game being the way it is.. ive been playing version 1.0 for almost 3 years. it has mods. mods that make your sprint bar never go down, makes your cars faster, and spawns more cars and jets for everyone to catch a ride.. thats why i loved this game, it was full of action and you had all kinds of vehicles at your disposal, going as fast as they could
now that ive played 1.5 for the first time, im... shocked. This is the LATEST patch for a popular online shooter, we're playing it in 2011, and it handles like that? everytime you wanted to find a car you had to wish for it upon a star ? if left in the desert or ocean by mistake, you need goddamn 5 minutes to reach a flag because the sprint bar immediately expires and you're basically walking on a 64 player map ?
personally i'd rather go back to 1.0 where the fun was damn amazing and the gameplay pacing was alot faster. but if everyone wants to stick to 1.5 where moving from one flag to the next requires a few minutes, i guess thats that !

Just like in BC2, im gonna be playing everyday (both games) during the week days and inviting everyone through steam. that usually brings 5-10 people together per run. 15 on a good day.. until the weekend where we make official runs and big numbers of participants ensue
cant wait to play with you guys ! this is gonna be massive.
" @Ahmad_Metallic: Darn, I was under the impression that you were alternating between BF2 and BF2142 every weekend. Maybe 2142 on Fridays and BF2 on Saturdays? "sure we can do that.. weekend runs are the real official ones with the big numbers, however those who'd also like to play during the week should be able to !
i gotta tell u though, ive been playing 2142 for a coupla hours and... i dont see what the love is about. its so cold and devoid of life, too few maps that all look the same : Halo-ish and in a desert.... no diversity in terrains or even kits whatsoever.
not saying that i regret buying it, i guess its gonna be fun when we play it as a team, im just saying it doesnt have shit on BF2, which makes me wonder why it's fans speak of it like its a better game..
its so dry and cold >_> not to mention that both the PAC and EU flags on the map look freaking identical, and the voice commands are so annoying and dont feel related
" Ok so i have BF 2 on disc and i would like BF 2142.. where do you guys suggest i buy it? "install your BF2, patch it to 1.41, then to 1.5, and you're ready to go
BF 2142 is best bought on the EA Store.. about 15 bucks
should i add you to the list? gimme your steam and game names !
Yep yep! you can add me!
Steam: Mr.Sandman
BF2: halopower67
BF 2142: halopower67
Been using this name for as long as i can remember and i really dislike it now but its too hard to change lol. also, i juust bought BF 2142 so im downloading it right now, ill create the account in game when im done.

" I'm on the steam "Complete collection" BF2 by the way, is this an issue? "i dont think so.. just disable the Steam in-game overlay while you play, and it should be fine
Also, your BF2 name is missing in the chart, please add it in a comment (:
(once the overlay was disabled)
" @FrankCanada97 said:Too few maps? I'm sure you haven't played through all of them. And of course it's so cold and devoid of life, it takes place during an ice age! Yes, it might look all the same, there are fewer assets. I agree it doesn't have anything on BF2, I never disputed that. But, I maintain that Titan mode is pure awesome. It's like Conquest mode up until the enemy titan's shield go down. And then you all rush in and try and destroy the the reactor core. Nothing is more satisfying in that game than running out of the ship while it's about to hit critical. Cool guys don't look at explosions." @Ahmad_Metallic: Darn, I was under the impression that you were alternating between BF2 and BF2142 every weekend. Maybe 2142 on Fridays and BF2 on Saturdays?

if you have and you're still getting kicked, make sure you manually update your BF2 punkbuster by downloading the manual PB tool from here : link.
download it, launch it, add BF2, mark it and click 'check for updates' until it's finished updating
if your game is patched to 1.5, updated in Punk Buster the way i listed above, and has steam ingame overlay disabled, you should be fine
Soon we're starting a 2/2142 Event Thread to list our events and announcements and all the details (the first bunch is this weekend)
keep an eye out !
Steam overlay works fine for me with latest punkbuster, I don't get kicked in 2142 and can use the overlay fine. In BF2 I don't get kicked, however the overlay just doesn't work :/. PB is pretty random about stuff like that though, sometimes it'll update and kick steam overlay users and sometimes they fix it. (one of the many reasons I loathe punkbuster)
"i wont patch before i make sure a good chunk of servers are updating aswell !Final 1.51 patch for 2142 out:
http://www.fileshack.com/file.x/23998/Battlefield+2142+Patch+Final+1.51
"
Yeah apparently there is some confusion right now. From what I see the current 1.51 client patch is going to be the final but there is still an issue with the server patch where it doesn't actually install, but if you reinstall the whole server with 1.51 it works so thats whats causing the delay with some servers not being updated.
EDIT: That patch didn't end up being the final, DICE has delayed it again until Tuesday where the final client patch will be officially announced. it will be 2gb.
Third (actually final) BF2142 1.51 Patch to go live Tuesday the 15th. If you already updated to 1.51 using another version of the patch (such as one I posted earlier), you will have to change your version number in your registry to make the upcoming patch install correctly.

OK guys, so we have a change of plans after a tip off here on the forums that the md5 checks were not working. We spent this week fixing them and have verified everything is working with some of the RSP's (thanks XFactorServers.com and ArtOfWarCentral.com).
The official release of BF2142 v1.51 will be on Tuesday 15th Febuary.
This does mean there is another patch file which EVERYONE will need to download and install.
If you have v1.51 installed already you will need to go into Regedit and modify version number from 1.51 to 1.50 before running the install file.
If you are installing fresh from DVD or EA Download Manager you will need to download and run v1.50 patch FIRST and then v1.51. You can get v1.50 from Fileplay here - Battlefield 2142 Patch v1.50 - Full download on Fileplay (BF2142_Update_1.50.exe)
The v1.51 patch is currently only for PC. The Mac version is away for the conversion process.
DICE will put up the 1.51 Tuesday, and I'll post the links in this thread. I'm sorry if you updated before they announced the 1.51 Beta2 patch was not final after all. But luckily you shouldn't have to uninstall/reinstall. (edit: ...unless you're already at1.51 and want to get back to version 1.50 for tonight's bombing run.)
1.51 finally finalized:
