Battlfield Heroes!

[Porter_]

I refused to get 2142 for a few months, and finally gave in. Ironically, it was more balanced and less buggy than BF2 ever was. I can't even play BF2 anymore because 3/4th of my deaths are from claymores, and no one uses teamwork. 2142 was about 10x better than BF2. More close-in battles, more action overall, better graphical effects, better maps, more cover and defilade positions, less nading and claymores, titan maps, better hit detection, better movement and fire system, etc etc etc.

And to all the tools that just think its a mod, by your logic BF: Vietnam, and BF2 were just mods of BF1942.

i dig both BF2 and BF2142. your post makes me want to reinstall 2142. man i had some good times with that game. i have zero desire to play BF Heroes, and i'm an FPS whore.

I tried playing 2142 again after COD4 and I just couldnt play long, the subpar graphics and unrealistic weapons killed it for me... I'm loving WaW right now, much more than I ever did COD4... I cant get enough.

I know one thing though... this game should not be compared with TF2. There should be laws against writing such blasphemy !

I dunno, for me this game is exactly like TF2. In other words /pass, I won't be playing it.

As for the BF series, I simply do not understand the lust for IO maps. If I want infantry fighting, I'll play a game in which the victor is not determined by who can press their "prone" key first. The vehicles were really the only thing that kept me back to the battlefield games. Throw in lame-ass cartooney graphics, characters running around in tu-tus that make you want to vomit and a consolized third person perspective without an option to change it = fail.

The only redeeming factor I am seeing with Heroes is that it's free. Couldn't say that about TF2!

BF2 is like that, and if you have a better connection to the server you win each firefight if you prone first. Also, if you have claymores and someone to resupply you, you are the best player in the server.

BF2142 isn't so much like that, crouching does assist aim, but the main factor in determining 1-on-1 firefights is your fire method (stutter fire), where you shoot (head), cover positions (everywhere in the maps), elevation advantage, etc. COD4 doesn't hold a candle to the gun fighting in BF2142. You can drop someone in 2142 with 2-3 bullets with a headshot, COD4 always required at least twice that for me, and there was absolutely no teamwork.

Never played 2142... Lost a good deal of faith in the series after some of the flaws that were present in BF:V and BF2. Had an absolute blast with BF1942 though, but I guess I can chalk that up to being a new and fresh injection into the FPS genre.

I am playing 2142 more than anything else atm. It is sadly the best fps online shooter out due to the size, vehicles and just plain ton of variables that the mix puts on your plate. You can play for a year and still have new experiences. COD series would be awesome if it managed to incorporate the BF setup of larger maps and vehicles. The tank in WaW is lol.

Battlefield heros is just a waste of time and money that should be put towards BF3.

GET BF3 DONE ALREADY!

GET BF3 DONE ALREADY!

I like all the BF series and im dying for this game.
Nothing beats the map, commander, squad play of BF2 and BF2142.
BF2 was one of the coolest experiences in FPS for me. I hopped on for the first time with my buddys clan. When you hook up with people who take the game seriously its a whole different experience. My job was a door gunner (something i always thought would be cool in real life). The guy who flew the chopper was an expert at flying. He would circle around an enemy base, dodge AA, and we would p0wn.
One of my coolest BF2 experiences was when i was on the ground fighting. I barely survived a massive firefight. I called for a "I need a Pickup" and got picked up by my buddies chopper. I had to secure the LZ with my SAW and layed down some major cover fire. He came in hot and extracted my from the high point of the base. I felt like i was in Nam. It made my get the chills it was so f'n cool.

Plus i like BF2142 cause it felt like the first game of its kind where you can board and take over a space craft. I wish they would have made some large spacecraft like battlestar galactica.That would be titz.

I hope BF3 is modern day. I hope they followup with BF 2143

Yeah, it sounds like TF2. ALL OVER AGAIN. Except this time by a less competent company who doesn't care about their userbase. Sounds awesome!

Ha. Better that than one that ruins a superb game by pandering to the crying userbase as happened with TF2, may it rest in peace.

It's exactly the same thing as COD: WaW....lol

I have heard same bitching about the game, yet I loved it. It was balanced, fun. People actually worked as a team and got stuff done. Weapons were cool and not overpowered by any means. Game felt whole lot different than BF2.
