PC Gamer U.S. (May issue) cover story. I'll post some more info soon.

Also worth noteing: Exclusive HL2: Ep. 1 screens... it's looking preety sweet, they got a hands on.

-New game mode hinted at
-mech warfare central to the game


classes:

Recon
(cloaking ability, tracking device, emp grenades),

Support
(engineer, medic, engineers can deploy drones which fire on enemy infantry),

Anti-Tank
(will likely to able to fire missles to air/mechs and also launch missles to positions designated by Recon class players)

Assault
Get a badass gun, and grendes that double as proximity mines - as well as explode on contact when launched

Sniper
kills shit from long distances =o

Explosion effects revampted since BF2, Revamped squad systems: squad leaders can now place beacons from which fellow squad mates can spawn - these can be destroyed.

Physics system has been revamped as well, allowing for realistic mech style movements, and possibly be knocked over in certain circumstances, mechs sport anti tank weapons, anti personnel mini-guns on earch arm and of course the ability to squish other players underneath cold steel feet.

Artillery will of course, be back, Hoverships are now im place much like helicopters - gunships as well

Parachutes have been replaced by a technology Dice will not elaborate on.. they have stated however, that it is not jetpacks!

Features from BF2:SF have carried over such as grappleing hooks and different vision modes.
 
mechs? could be great could be meh
although at least with bf2 they at least have a very solid base to build on
 
So will this be 2142 to Battlefield 2 as Vietnam was to 1942? Or is it the equivalent of BF3?

Just another game in the BF universe, but it uses a beefed up BF2 engine.
 
i think its coming out to early tbh...alittle over a year after BF2, to early imo

Fair enough.

I hope it has more replay values than 2. I played that for a few weeks and once I was bored of the maps, it lost any excitement.

But mechs = more fun :D
 
Sounds good, thanks babyheadcrab. :)

Oh, and those HL2: Episode 1 pictures. What do they show? Anything new? You possible don't have a... *cough*scanner*cough*? ;)
 
I think it is going rock. Hover pods and stuff flying around with Chicken Walkers firing lasers at people. LASERS! Hrmm kind of like Star Wars Battlefront. :/
 
It was merely a matter of time. I'm excited... I'll probably be in the Airforce by the time it comes out.
 
should be good, lol @ the jetpacks bit, hopefully quake wars will give it a run for its money though, looking forward to that one too.
 
As of right now, the way BF2 looks, I think 2142 is gonna suck. Hope I'm wrong....
 
I'm not playing any BF games until I can get BF2 working without getting magic lag that comes from nowhere, my ping will be uber-low, my FPS high, and I still jump around and lag all over and get the "Network Connection Problems" bullshit
 
BF2 could be such a better game, but since DIce is now one with EA, I doubt we'll be seeing anything more than just another dried up cow. Or a dead horse. Or a flogged turtle...
 
those classes sound like they jumped straight out of Team Fortress.

well i guess somebody needs to make this game since valve refuses to.

The Episode 1 screens excite me more than the Battlefield news :P

Hear, hear.

Let's see scans! Or if that fails, some very accurate hand-drawn represenations. Or maybe in ASCII art.
 
Send the scans to Samon in a PM. Then he could maybe mass PM everyone with the scans "by accident" :)

kthx.

Dunno what i think about this new battlefield. I'll have to wait and see what its like.
 
This game -- every game -- would be better if it were more like Starsiege: Tribes.
 
hah, I bet they will copy FF:SW when it comes 2 the new paracgute tech.



ps:remember the green blob? I thought that was cool.
 
I saw this coming. Cant wait will be picking it up for sure.

I dont have a scanner guys, sorry to crap on the parade.

/Wipes crap off brow.

Well, shoot us some new info then, or whatever is in the article/screens :P
 
Crap, I was going to post this, but Oblivion got in the way! :P Just played it for like 2 hours, and I didn't even realize it LOL

Anyways, there is a video on the disc, It's roughly 40 megs... About half is the story and the last half is all gameplay footage.

Oh, and it's coming this Fall :)

I have scanner, but I'd rather upload the video first!
 
Samon: Alright, I'm hosting video on YouTube (uploading now... I'll post link when it's ready!)...

I'll get to the scanner now :)

Video of Aftermath? :O

Fall? :(

Or is that 2142?
 
hmmmmm, I am not that much into sci fi games. There are some exceptions I guess. And it is Battlefield after all. A yay from me then, but I am not terribly excited.
 
I hope so, because that would mean BF is fall and not AM. :)
 
Video and Fall date are Battlefield...

Video is uploaded and is currently being processed (give it about 5 mins)

Pictures are scanned in (both BF2142 and Aftermath for Samon ;) )

Now I Just need to rotate them all, save them in JPEG, zip them up, and put them somewhere... I'm not going to upload to forums (risk of copyright violation), and ImageShack will take them down...

I gotta eat dinner, be back in about 10 or 15 :) There will be presents when I get back, I promise.
 
lets hope they dont fu** it up
EA's buying out all of Dice right? :|
