Im already bored of this game
I think EA is atleast trying to make things right this time buy having beta testing. For this to be somewhat bug free, we need to submit bugs.
I want to know where to go to submit bugs for this game if I come across any?
Tonight = Download Point of Existence for BF2 and more BF2142.
One thing I can say about BF2142 is that there aren't as many noobified noobs playing this game. NO ARTY!!! and guess what!!! not as many faggety 10 yr olds because you need a credit card!!! haha nooby 10 yr olds. Be prepared to get pwned when BF2142 is released. muahahahah I'm going to steal all your dogtags with some sweat Knifage action from behind!!!!!!!
There is only one map man. Everyone gets bored playin the same map...except maybe constant pwnage of the noobs on strike at karkand or Ghost Town!!!

Really feels like more of the same from BF2, the fact that people wander around the map going after different launch sites makes it feel like a gimmicky version of conquest.
The thing that makes maps like Karkand fun is the fact that they are designed in such a way that choke points result in a moving front with intense firefights. However, Karkand seems to be more of an exception rather than a rule for BF2 (why they dropped the supply lines mode is beyond me).
IMHO this is one of the things that made onslaught in UT2004 so much fun to play, there was always a united front. However in BF2142, the design of the titan mode makes it more about small skirmishes given that your teams have to fight not only to protect the titan but also to capture and defend silo sites. With only 16 players per team, you are often spread very thinly and therefore, no intense firefights on the scale you would expect in Karkand.
This is one aspect that UT2007 and Quakewars will dominate.

That's assuming it will work like that, which, as one poster pointed out in the thread on the instruction videos, is very unlikely to happen, unfortunately. I enjoyed the videos for quake wars, saw some stuff I liked there, such as wheels being shot off vehicles and such, but it left me with little hope that what you said would actually be the case

As if the devs care about fixing the bugs. The red tag bug in BF2 has been there since the demo. This is nothing more than a marketing strategy to get fileplanet more subscribers. Why else would the beta be a fileplanet exclusive? EA has likely recieved some sort of compensation ($$$) in partnership with FP for this.
I agree with you though that the BF2142 beta is probably a bug-ridden POS.

I'm sure you're right, to an extent, but saying the devs don't care is more than a little obtuse - why else has 1.4 been in beta for the last month or so? It's the last patch before they switch their attention to 2142, so they appear to be making every effort to ensure it is a good one. As for 2142, how do you know they haven't learned from their mistakes re: BF2?
Put it this way; anyone who participates in the beta, and then pisses and bitches about the retail release being buggy despite not having made any effort of their own to catalogue the bugs deserves a solid slap.

really? because i never got bored of Gulf of Oman on the BF2 demo or Wake Island on the BF42 demo.
IMO 2142 feels just like a mod (a poorly done mod), if it was $20-30 then i might consider buying it but probably would still pass it up. BF2 and now POE2 will easily hold me over until quake wars.

I don't get it. That's the point of a beta - to document bugs/performance and report back. What does open source have to do with the price of tea in China?

And I quote from EA:
"The email you will have received with your key contains all the information you need on how to get in and how to feed in your comments on the beta."
So check the e-mail you got your key in.

no sorry I don't have any idea about game beta's...ur telling me they actually expect you guys to
1. pay for a fileplanet subscription just to get a key
2. play a game which is obviously no improvement for a whole new game
3. submit bugs for an old engine that should have been fixed long ago (not counting new bugs)
4. pay for the game that you helped create
It would seem a little bit more logical if any of you thought it was remotely better *newer* than bf2
I was hoping for a whole new game

First off, I haven't played the beta and I don't have a FP subscription and I'll only play the beta/demo once it's released for free. The only point that is valid is #1. It DOES seem dumb to pay for a beta but it's EA's/GameSpy's choice and if you don't like it don't pay for it. Also a FP subscription gets you more than a 2142 demo. Not too tough. #2 is subjective/opinionated. #3 EA is still working on BF2 and a patch is iminent. Sure, they're slow but at least they are doing something to fix BF2. The bugs ARE less than when first released. #4 just see #1.
We ALL were hoping for a new game but until the final product is released we can watch it get changed provided the beta testers SEND THEIR FEEDBACK. Posting in [H]ardForum or Lord-knows-where-forum won't get it done.
Me either, hell I don't even own bf2 and was waiting till the new one came out to go near it. Personally, especially with the ss's and everything was expecting a whole new game, kinda pisses me off that it seems like an expansion.
There are no other games like bf2 that are as good as it, just now I am realizing how a good game is in the hands of not so good developer
But still, and you'll agree, no much besides little bugfixes will be improved which is good for the game itself, but isn't going to change much. EA isn't going to switch their whole goddamn engine when people start whining. No, many will just have to not buy it for anything to become effective.

Good point. If it's still crap when it's released it's our responsibility to NOT buy a crappy product. Until then... PoE2 mod.

This is probably a completely futile effort but - is there anyone out there with a Fileplanet account who isn't planning to play the beta? If so, could I have your beta key? Send me a PM if you would be interested. I'd love to give it a shot.
I wish they'd let Xfire host it too.

It starts with their leadership walking around with their fingers in their ears and thumbs up their ass(they have really big, flexible hands ok?) and that trickles down to the coders. What decent coder would want to work for such morons? So who's left? Well, judging by the patching process, a bunch of really drunk and stoned Matadors.

Looks nice enough, tbh. 'Tis only a beta, after all. Look forward to it (more so than quake wars after they ruined it for me with those instruction vids

It looks like fun. I'll have to try it out for myself becuase I gave up on relying on other peoples opinions because all anyone ever does is complain anymore. :/
