I just had fun for a few matches. I had forgotten how janky it feels compared to contemporary BF games but the cool planes and tanks and Titans and mechs make up for it. Managed to storm the enemy Titan last match and it was cool as heck drop podding on there and coming out guns blazing. Good damage model too, soldiers don't feel like the bullet sponges from BF4 in non hardcore mode

it's like an 06 battlefield game, it's some decent fun but it's way slower paced and "stiffer" than the modern ones. i'd say only try it for the nostalgia feels.

theres cool poo poo though, like stealth cloaks and EMPs and big metal gear mechs

It's all about the Titan mode or w/e it's called with the massive base ships and drop podding people, and so forth. Also that two person mech ripped straight from Tiberian Sun.

Battlefield is slow paced AIDS for wussy clowns, in this gamer's opinion.

I fuckin love 2142. My first match my buds were like, omg orbital strike, get under this bridge, then we were assaulted by orbital cannons and I was in love immediately

however much it may not have aged well, the final fights for the titans are incredibly rad. i was just posted up in the hallway with my squad, hunkered down with two machine gunners, my shotgun attachment, throwing grenades and ducking behind a mini-forcefield support guys can throw down. i got like 15 kills holding that hallway...then when the titan finally explodes, it's a pretty fantastic moment, with everything going up around you and no way to escape. RIP

the titan mode was the most fun thing ever, especially when you were with a bunch of dudes who actually communitcate. Blasting through the ship like future SWAT made you feel like a badass.

Titan mode is basically CTF but instead of the game ending you get to hold out for a Hail Mary at the last second

Titan assaults were amazing. The carrier buses that have ejecting pods, hiding a respawn on the enemy titan, breaking through their defenses and barely snatching a victory

gently caress 2142 is good

seriously undersells how loving hardcore titan fights are

i would be insanely down to reinstall this if i could rock it with a squad on VOIP, i used to shred things back in the day as an engineer or assault

It's still super cool. Like some else said, it's be tight with a coordinated squad on teamspeak or something, I forgot how limiting text comms were in FPS games

really good conquest match, got like 10 kills with one grenade, super satisfying...then a rad tooth and nail fight for our titan, racked up kills in Blue Sector Corridor 1 with the shotgun attachment. me and a support guy set up a crossfire where he would lay into them with the MG and i would shotgun them, took out a few squads that way

if they remade 2142 in Frostbite i'd be extremely stoked

there are still several full servers on EST weeknights. game is really good, i'm trying to unlock everything for every kit, cus right now it seems the default assault class rifles are better than the alternatives. wanna see if that holds true for recon

angel's fall first seemed, like, really really bad when i tried it. i bought it and got thrust into this hellish world w/like 2002 tier textures and wonky physics and nonsensical gameplay...i returned it like immediately
