2142

Tue, 03/21/2006 - 11:35 — kebernet

A bit of buzz today about Battlefield 2142 and a trailer from DICE which, by the way is now officially controlled by EA, the Darth Vader of the video game world.

I wonder how 2142 will stack up to ET:QW.

RE: 2142

No one is sure what to make of this yet. Some say its going to be a BF3, some say a MOD for BF2, some say its going to be a console only game, and some even say its an april fools thing. The only one that sounds feasable is that it will be a MOD for BF2. Either way it should be fun, kinda has a Tribes feel. People have seemed to forget that Tribes did this massive first person shit waaaay before EA.

As far as Quake Wars... I hope it works for them(ID). Because (I hate to actually say it, but...) Doom 3 and Quake 4 tanked.

Well, D3 and Q4 maybe didn't set the world on fire, but I think it is tough to say they tanked.

I still think Q4 is one of the finest shooters made, personally.

RE: 2142

yes let me clairify... when I mentioned the word "tanked" I was referring to the online community (active players) and not the games themselves.

While the "Online Now" doesn't seem to be correct in all the games the "names in 31 days" i think does.

RE: 2142

True. Neither of them was really centered on the Multiplayer game, though. Not in the same vein as Battlefield. I suspect that the new Enemy Territory, though, will take its place somewhere in the area where Wolf:ET is, though. D3 wasn't ever really about muliplayer, and Q4s was really just an update to Q3s.

Looking at that list, I am surprised at how far down 1942 is... I still think Galactic Conquest and Desert Combat are very much worth playing. Hell DC might be better than BF2.
