I just build a new machine and am looking for some new games to play so I thought I'd pick up this game sometime soon. Just curious how good the pub games are and how often TWers play together. Do we have a private server or anything?

Ive never played with any TWer's but you find a good pub & it can be a lot of fun.
Its best when you find a good squad & you guys all commicate & get shit done.

Its a very fun game, imo.

Download the demo, see if you like the weapons and vehicles (hovertank, gunship etc).

If you've played BF2 then think of BF2142 as "BF2 Lite", Best Buy is going to have it on sale for $24.99 24th-25th.

wow I didn't know powdahound still posted here

It's rare to find an exceptional squad in a pub, but sometimes you get lucky. 2142 really shines when you play with friends and can communicate well.

:wave: Grief!

I was just playing the demo and must have had a really shitty team. People just spammed crap in Czech the whole time pretending they were Borat or something.

Never played BF2 so the HUD and gameplay is completely new to me. I'm also not a big fan of the missing support for widescreen resolutions...

BF2142 is the best multiplayer FPS out for the PC right now.

Sad maybe, but true.

Still can't get excited enough about the game from playing the demo. Guess I'll just keep waiting for ET:QW. :)

i saw a beta movie of QW , and it looks like........*drumroll*

BF2142 , but with Alien weapons....think HALO weapons with little gay creatures running around....

I'll stick with "semi-reality" thanks.

Looks like, maybe.

The gameplay will be different, though. We'll just have to wait and see how that. Could blow BF away.

The demo honestly does not do this game justice. It is sooo much better than the demo made it out to be.

Agreed.

The demo's limitation on gaining skills/gear was retarded. That's like giving a demo of Tribes without jetpacks.

I was reluctant to get it at first, but now I just can't get enough of it. it's an all around good game believe it or not.

Oh no! I bumped an old thread!

Yeah, I was reluctant to get the game too, but I've had alot of fun with it since I did.
