China, Japan and Korea working together sounds like some really spicy fanfiction.

[@SyndicateOperative]

I mean, this is over 100 years in the future, and the crisis in this game is a geographical one; meaning that people would be progressively moving out of specific countries over time. As a result, it makes sense for nations to end up bonding heavily over regional proximity as the crisis continues, rather than... arbitrary history from over 200 years ago (in relation to the year the game is set in).

[@WingMaster562]

​@@SyndicateOperative kinda proves how it's a spicy fanfiction then.

[@quakethedoombringer]

The game also has a super militarized EU and fighting those 3 (with Russia) to compete for land in Africa (without local resistance or assistance) meanwhile Australia and the US are mysteriously absent. The game is written by someone who still think geopolitics is still stuck the in the time when the Mongol Horde was still the biggest threat to Central Europe just with guns and mechs this time

It was awesome.

Titan mode made this the best Battlefield, very well balanced and a focus on squad/team play.

[@BioClone]

Not only titan, I found some of the better maps designed... Did you remember that massive battles with slowly moving fronts on Camp Gibraltar trying to find a way to reach the interior points? mmm I cant find a single map I did not love on Bf2142... Also the expansion was cool as fuck.

[@ThePsyfurnosis]

Yep! Camp Gibraltar, being able to sneak around/speed past using a buggy and capturing a flag with your squad really changed the tide of battle. Battlefield 2 had similar style maps, but you're correct, they had really polished the design by 2142.

[@HeWhoHasRisen3500]

Come play at 2142 revive! Thousands are back up playing, it's a free download, you don't have to have any disk, and Northern Strike is INCLUDED!!!

[@Fractured676]

Titan mode was fantastic, until people realized that grenades infinitely restocked when you had a Supply Box nearby. Tunnels became a permenent explosion, it was pretty stupid. All EA/Dice had to do was to patch it so grenades didn't get restocked. POW, problem fixed, Titan mode is back to being fantastic. Alas, they didn't give 2 f's post launch.

Great review - though you may have misunderstood how the LMGs work. As you've probably already heard from comments ( see this is an older video), the LMG is most accurate with sustained fire and is TERRIBLE when you are moving. All the clips you showed had you moving around while firing which kept the accuracy from ever adjusting.

I'm watching this video three years after it was posted, and 14 years after the game was originally launched. This game was my childhood.

This seriously needs to be remastered or have a sequel 2143. I get it the "futuristic" shooters now get a bad reputation.. Especially because everyone compares Battlefield with CoD. But this game was massive and really could mix things up.

[@HappyBeezerStudios]

Let's not forget that the 90's were bascially full of futuristic shooters. Then came the early 00's with pure WWII and starting in 2007 we got modern warfare with, well Modern Warfare. After that they started moving 20 minutes into the future and beyond, and the latest trend was WWII again, we went full circle and should start seeing modern military settings again. But personally, I'd like to see another good futuristic shooter besides Titanfall 2, and some good modern WWII shooters, both BF5 and CoD WWII were rather lame reskins of their previous games, nothing like a WWII shooter should be like.

I skipped so many days of school just to get tier 4 shit a couple of days after release. Literally first week this game came out i had a nasty ''cold'' that lasted a lot longer than both parents and school was willing to put up with. Literally some of the best moments i remember having had in a video game. Honestly never imagined a day would come that there would be no active playerbase. I'm guessing you know as well as i do, things have changes, ever since gamespy went down, it's been a challenge to find an active player base for any game in particular let alone 2142. Games never used to even die. Like it didn't matter how old a game was, there was gonna be at least anywhere between 1 to 10 thousand active players at any given moment online. Now it's just dead servers everywhere, with the playerbase being divided between several different proprietary and competing ''platforms''. Consoles are a complete scam these days. Can't believe we've let consumerism actively destroy the entire industry. Tf.

[@Peashant2142]

RIP, had an awesome time there.

[@airjerr]

So Revive says... They were never asked to shut down the master server or the Discord.. They did that on their own accord and screwed all the players

[@Peashant2142]

infiniteelectronix They *were* quite literally asked to shut down their servers. Didn't you read the email they received? I can't remember if they made it public. But make no mistake, EA asked them to shut down everything.

[@airjerr]

No they did not.. There is no proof of anything from them except a email full of jargon that would have never been written by an attorney for EA . Something that would not have been written to show a judge in court saying "we have warned them".. I have received 100+ DMCA over the years because of the business I am in. ALL are 10+ page legal documents written professionally by someone that is paid for legal representation. In that email that Revive showed they were never asked to shut down the servers and on the same token have no legal right to make revive shut down their Discord server abruptly. They merely asked them to stop giving their game away for free.. I own the website Battlefield2142.co If you search for 2142 my site comes up on most searches on Google in the 1-5 spot... I have not received so much as an email from EA.. I had also provided a link from 2014-2016 to the full game installer as revive did. I also have messages from both Spencer, MDawg, and EngineerIsaac all main admin at revive saying things like "You act like I could give a F**K" and "my hope is that 2142 just dies"... I can provide proof of those if you would like from Discord snap shots.. In addition to all this at the end revive failed tell players of BF2 and BF2142 where to go to play after they shut down. BF2HUB and Gameranger. I spent the last month in game and messaging 800+ people on my friends list of 2142 where to go to continue to play. I also offered to take over the servers from revive and or pay them to show us how to make a master server all to no avail. This is a long long story about revive and many people do not know all of it... I am Dethklok Airjerr, I have been around this game for hours and hours every single day since 2009. I know what has gone on I know what went on and you have been fed a false tail by revive in order to redirect the blame from them to EA so people can just talk crap about EA instead.. revive and battlelog have crapped on me for years and I am glad they are gone. We run this just fine now on Gameranger and will be moving our players to a master server and combining with another community soon. I was part of the Dethklok fix from 2014-2016 after the shut down. We ran the game for 2.5 years and never received any emails or contact from EA. I also had petitioned them on behalf of our community by email to use their logos and graphics legally so they knew who we were.. revive was giving away 3 games and running Google Adwords on those pages.. Not the brightest thing to do in the first place and they should have known better.

[@airjerr]

I would have an interest in shutting down someone if they were profiteering off of my trademarks. Revive was running Google Adwords on the same web pages they were giving 3 EA games away for free.. AND as I said, EA never asked for the servers to be shut down and had no legal right to make them shut down the Revive Discord server.. This is in addition to the fact that the "email" they got was nothing short of a total made up joke by some dumb ass that has no clue what DMCA notifications from a multi million dollar company looks like.

They did not destroy anything.. Revive was run by idiots and "supposedly" got shut down because of it.. They were never asked to shut off the Master Server or Discord.. They did that cause they could care less about all the players.

[@lt.recker6610]

Why do you think they are idiots?

[@airjerr]

There are a ton of reasons. 2142 had 800+ players at 1 time on initial release of the Revive fix. It had not been tested properly so there was the most horrendous lag on the servers for the first month of the game to the point of unplayable and many people left right out of the gate. Then as time went by and populations diminished they would do nothing at all to try and curb the loss of players. I made many suggestions and was treated like I knew nothing and like a piece of crap that knew nothing about the game.. FYI I have 6400 hours just on 2142-stats website and 1000's more of game time and admin time spent from 2014-current to keep the game going (10K-11K hours total).. Instead of considering what I suggested I was treated literally like an idiot that knew nothing.. This is an addition to the fact they were running Google Adwords on a website that they were giving away 3 EA games for free.. Then when the end came, they left the master serve broken, servers were broken, stats would not tabulate anymore, new players got nothing for the last 2 months.. Revive even knew how to unlock everything and just didnt feel like giving everyone the unlocks even though the game was ending.. Revive never notified any of the BF2 or BF2142 players where to go once they shut down. Revive was never asked to shut down the master servers or the revive discord they just did it themselves abruptly.. For 2.5 years 2014 - Sept 2016 Dethklok had a master server fix. Battlelog and Revive hid this fact from many players in fact banning me from Battlelog for telling people about it. Then under conditions I agreed to move all our Dethklok players to Revive.. Within 6 months, May 2018 revive admin was saying things like "My hope is 2142 just dies", and "you act like I give a fuck". All while taking donations and getting per click money from Google Adwords.. So Me and 1 guy were able to handle it for 2.5 years and their team of 10 guys could not handle it for 6 months.. Yahh they are idiots.. They took over the game , dictatorshipped it up where noone knew anything right except them that frankly had like 500 total hours of 2142 game time and did not even play. Fortunately we have control of it now and are doing the right thing for the community.. Goto Battlefield2142.co for all the information to play in 2018 and beyond.

[@insane8235]

blue you are correct.

[@H3Vtux]

Because moving to another planet is completely unfeasable. There hasn't been a single realistic option found within 20,000 lightyears of the earth, and even if one had been found within the solar system it would be unfeasable to move even a slightly substantial amount of people there without breaking the laws of the universe. We're stuck on earth.

[@ryangrill7322]

I loved the Commander system in this game. That was one of my favorite roles to play, and when you had squads that actually listened to you it was so much fun and made it a completely different game. I wish 2042 had that. It's kind of dumb when you just get thrown into a squad, but there's no central commander directing squads and throwing down support abilities. That would improve 2042 SO MUCH

BDL30 why because cod did it who cares what setting the game is in. Look at bf1 everyone was hyped for a ww1 setting now a ton of people say ww1 setting was a mistake. A setting doesn't make a game good or bad im sick of this notion that future based fps games are bad.

It truly was the last real Battlefield, I can't say it enough. Every single one made for consoles (Bad Company and newer) absolutely pales in comparison. Sure some were fun in their own regard, but 2142 was the pinnacle of Battlefield core mechanics and gameplay. They took BF2 and perfected it. The futuristic setting may not have been for everyone (I love it), but they fixed the dolphin dive BS from BF2 (you had to wait a second before you were accurate once you went prone), and they did things like add points for following squad leader orders, which encouraged even more teamplay. Fast forward to 2042, not only do soldiers auto-heal, but so do vehicles, effectively neutering the need for medics and engineers. Any one can carry any weapon, so no need to rely on a well-rounded squad. No commander. 4-person squads with no ability to manage them. It's such trash compared to how it used to be. P.S. F**K EA for being so fkin greedy that they shut down the Revive project. What a bunch of a**holes.

[@medglaid8346]

you know what made me love the old battlefields its the slower paced gameplay ,with that the game encouraged teamwork tactical strategies but the need for speed movement in bf that started from BF4 until V , it made every one plays solo without even thinking about their squad , the squad is just a respwan point.

[@awesome9174]

10000000% agree. I can't even play the newer bf games because it feels like I'm ice skating with the sprint button.

[@RobotronSage]

''the squad is just a respwan point.'' Yup. That just about sums the ''battlefield'' experience ever since 2142 really. It's so pathetic that video game ''companies'' will try to go out of their way to copy other studios ''big hit title'', only to complain about copyright law minutae when they are literally suing their own customers....

[@Argacyan]

[@volatilesky]

Some considered the rocket launcher useless, but it was a misunderstood mechanic. Your rifle had a built in range finder - whatever surface you zoomed in on, it would auto show the range to that thing. With your mouse wheel you could adjust your range to that surface - this range was tied to the distance your underslung rockets would auto donate at. Someone behind a low wall or around a corner? Range to the wall, add 1 or 2 metres to the range, and air burst a rocket rounded over them. Many people were confused and frustrated by their rockets seemingly auto detonating on nothing (zooming while looking at the ground or nearby object). They never seemed to realise they had set their range in on something near their spawn, and then never resetting it. Edit: f for grammar

[@rksyu]

I played Titan Mode so much. I remember a game lasted about 45 minutes in the last part of breaching and destroying the Titan, because the whole enemy team bundled up to protect the central power core. We had the silos, but both teams just unspokenly agreed we'd end it on the ship. It was chaos. Guys dropping shield walls in the hallways, grenades flowed back and forth constantly, auto turrets, SAWs, and constant reinforcements flowing in via drop-pods.
