'twas my first time ever playing BF, and :woot2: I couldn't stop!
Don't know what all the keys are doing yet, but boy this is addictive. I guess I've missed a lot by not joining the BF2 fest...
:doh:
PS
1. How do you pick up/use package that are parachuted? or that are on the ground?
2. How do you find and use grenades?
Played the demo with the OBC-lads at the LAN, seemed really cool and especially the Mechs! Hoovertanks aswell.
@ Le Rouge (did you play BF2 or BF2142???): I think you mean the supplycrates dropping from the sky?
If you stand next to them and your short on ammo, they automaticly get full again (takes a few seconds and you hear a clicking sound). Also the small resupply packages do the same.
You can select the grenades through 1-5 keys depending on your kit. I don't think BF2142 has grenades though (I only played that 15 minutes and was playing with the big guns).

I mean 2142. I think it resembles
UT2004, if anyone played it, especially the "nods" game play.
I never took the time to play BF2 (ashamed of that), as I thought it won't run on my machine. Anyhow, I got that supply thing, thanks. I still have some problems to understand:
1. How do you speak to team mates? (besides the 'q' option)
2. How do you choose to which team you belong? (they put me once in this "eastern" front and all I could hear was russian, which I am not fluent at...
1)Taking to your teamm8s, I think that would be v or b. One of them is to talk as SquadLeader to your Commander and the other one is to your teamm8s and Squadleader. Do make sure you're actually in a team then btw! (Press enter and join a squad).
2)In your optionsmenu you can select your language as in speaking language English only. Have a look around the options...
downloaded and installed but get error message "application failed to start because d3dx9_29.dll not found, try re-installing"
I've re-installed twice now with no joy:sad:
gonna try 1 more time before I uninstall and re-download
btw my 1st download was incomplete and wouldn't even start to install<_<
edit: at beginning of install I get "MD5Error: C:\Program files\Electronic Arts\Battlefield2142\demo\support\readme.txt"
Not sure what happend here but:
You need an extra file Blunt. A file called d3dx9. Bison had it at the LAN and if I didn't install that it wouldn't work.
I'll be on MSN this evening shortly so you might want to catch me there so I can send you the file.
re downloading now:sad:
Read my previous reply.
I'm getting d3dx9 as I type...cheers Duv
I think you're going to like it.
I only played it 15 minutes so far and was checking out some stuff but I', definatly going to buy it. A tip I got from Bison: Watch the intro movie! Loads of tips in there!
still no joy...
I extracted it to windows/system is that the correct place?
got it...it works!:yahoo:
@Duvel: I'll rephrase the question for a correct one (still learning...):
how do I choose which FACTION to join?
@Blunt: had the same problem; I DLed te latest (very recent) DX9 package. Anyhow, glad it worked for you, and now, on which server do we meet?
I had a 10 minute blast this afters on a random server...
I'll have another go this evening....
find me on x-fire (bluntblunt)
I've had it since the beta came out - it sux goatroap
Find me in the bar as I'm not giving more of money to these gits! <_<
with the above goat/vacuum comment in mind...
it reminded me of Planetside.:g:
it's not good to be reminded of Planetside<_<
I'll give it half an hour tonight before I say :byebye:
I tried my hardest to give it a go and like it...
...but I failed. :sad:
Whereas BF2 felt special from when I first played the Oman demo, this just feels cheap and thrown together.
Unless the finished game is significantly better than the demo (unlikely as release is ten days from now) I think I too will be giving it a miss.
1) BF2 was a new experience for us (mostly) CSers, being way bigger and more imersive. BF2142 does not have the same wow-factor as a result, but it would have had if it'd come out in BF2's place.
2) The demo has no unlocks, making the reduced number of classes feel very limited, and thus making the game seem less interesting (and making Titan assaults dull without grenades, and infantry vs vehicle combat a no-goer). A few unlocks'll make things more fun.
3) The demo map is pants, true, but the general consensus is that it's not representational of the general map quality.
4) Fine, give up on it now. You'll be missing out.

I think not :narnar:

Press enter aswell, there´s 2 flags above the squads and such. Select the flag you want to join )doesn´t work on all servers.
First thing that came to mind when I went on Titan mode.
'Tribes2'
Flying around in gunships and transports, attacking the enemys main base by destroying shield generators and such.
Without a full loadout, not even C4 for the consoles, it makes it a longish game, but I can imagine when all the unlocks are available that the rounds will go quite fast unless they toughen the things.
Single drops of Ammo and health are a good idea, if you drop a second pack the first one self destructs (not damaging).
Some sort on Anti-'Anti-Titan' system on the motherships would be a good idea, taking troops out of the assault to defend the main ship from inbound missiles would be good. At the moment you only have to defend the ship once the shields are down.
Although I was happy to be finishing in the top 4 or 5 players on most maps and I seem to have worked out most of the craft, finished as the top player quite a few times on a full (48') server.
I like the demo, but then again its new and I like to play on new things for a while before coming back to the old stuff.
We'll see.
I have cancelled my pre-order from play. The demo sucks like a big sucky thing... and I dont believe the retail version will be much better with the unlocks. BB hit the spot no wonder they got beta testers to agree to an NDA. The guys who did the POE mod have done a better job than EA. EA have completely screwed the BF series. RIP.
sadly...I don't think it's for me:nope:
Worried about tactical depth? Look at this list:

I was more concerned with this list:
all unfixed bugs in BF2 are in BF2142!
