Posted March 22, 200619 yr This is the press release from IGN. Today, the company revealed -- via a Swedish press release -- that the next iteration of the Battlefield franchise will take place in the future -- 136 years in the future to be exact -- and will be known (perhaps unsurprisingly) as Battlefield 2142.

March 22, 200619 yr Author It aslo states that the game will use existing Battlefield 2 Technology and it is slated for a Fall 2006 Release.
March 22, 200619 yr have no fear guys, it also said dice canada would be working on 1.3, all should be good now. I see they are just passing around the job to make the next patch from country to country.
March 22, 200619 yr meh, I just got elder scrolls oblivion, I dont think I will need to play bf-anything for a LOOONNGGGGG time.
March 22, 200619 yr have no fear guys, it also said dice canada would be working on 1.3, all should be good now. I see they are just passing around the job to make the next patch from country to country. thats right... leave it to Canada to clean up the bugs... just like afganastan well if dice canada is like ubisoft montreal, then you should expect a clean game (ubisoft montreal put out splinter cell/pandora tomorrow and published farcry btw)
March 23, 200619 yr It aslo states that the game will use existing Battlefield 2 Technology and it is slated for a Fall 2006 Release. If you read the article correctly, it said that it will use existing Battlefield 2 >GRAPHICS ENGINE< technology. I've never had any problems with the graphics. In fact, they're quite beautiful. No worries in that department. I think EA realizes that they screwed up BF2. I doubt they will drop the ball like they did this time around --- it could be a VERY bad move for the company. As soon as people think your product is faulty, you can only get them to buy crap for so long.
March 24, 200619 yr Author ^^^ Lol, by the time they release the game the graphics will feel dated. Same graphics, same netcode, same problems.
March 24, 200619 yr Elders Scroll=Meh you = meh! . anyway, i wanna get that game . Elder Scrolls that is. this BF2142 or whatever can go somewhere else.
March 25, 200619 yr I hate to think that they are using BF2 GFX technology. Yes it looks good considering how much crap is going on, but even now they look a bit dated compared to other newer games (Source Games, MMORPG's like DnD:SR, Any other FPS, any game on Next-Gen consoles). Basically, BF2142 will be launching in late 2006 using early 2004/late 2003 technology. Look at where GPU's have gone since that time. We went from High end systems using 256MB cards to High End systems using 1GB-2GB GFXX cards, processors have gone from 2GHz 32bit 400FSB to dual core 4GHz 64bit 1600+ FSB, RAM has gone from PC 2100/2700 at 266 mhz to DDR2 PC4000 600-800MHz. Sadly enough, almost all the games we play are more than playable on the "Early" standards due to the time it takes to develop a game vs. the rate at which technology gets better. Basically, in just 2 years, the power of PC's has nearly quadrupled in some areas, and has gone up 10 fold in others. If PC games are going to keep up with Next-Gen consoles, companies like EA, Vivendi, and SOE are going to have to pump out some serious games. Seeing as EA is the only one pumping out games at a consumable rate (Vivendi seems to be sitting pretty firm on FEAR and WoW, SOE shows no signs of doing anything besides maintaining their current set of MMO games, even though they are completely revamping SWG to be more like *gasp* WoW... The game every SWG player tried to get away from. Irony sucks.), it means we have to hope they don't single handedly destroy our beloved computer market. Until Blizzard puts out StarCraft 2 (Who knows when, we all know they will, just a matter of time), Diablo 3, or seriously fixes some major problems in WoW, nothing worth a damn will come from them or Vivendi (Blizzard is a subsidiary of Vivendi Universal, as was Valve until they got smart). SOE sure isn't going to put anything out except for expansions to EQ2, while they try and revamp SWG to be more like the game the MMO community is slowly starting to hate more and more (WoW for all of you lucky enough to have not gotten sucked in). EQ2 is almost an exact copy of WoW now, it is almost disgusting, SWG is becoming WoW with player owned property and starships (Which adds depth, but it is ultimately the same crap). I strongly suggest saving your money you were going to invest into a new badass gaming rig and saving it for a shiney new PS3 and/or Xbox 360 and an HDTV. I unfortunately see the computer gaming market being only applicable to the super rich and small "garage developers". At least for a year. After that PC's will overcome consoles again. But with every new generation of consoles, PC's lose more and more people, as the cost of running a damn good PC and maintaining it's awesomeness is infintely more than a Console (Which is a one time fee, no constant upgrading to play that new game, also standardized platforms make game development easy and make the games run WAY better). That was my weekly rant. I will shut my trap now.
March 25, 200619 yr Well I am going to get it and I will report back to everyone on how it does. I believe some of us are getting a little out there on this matter. I am glad to see that EA is taking this game to the next level it is set in the future but the weapons appear to be some what relistic, whit a few twist of corse. This should be a good combo for those of us that like future style games and the current modern day stylegames.
March 25, 200619 yr Man that looks awesome! The video was cool. I want it now now now now now now now.
March 25, 200619 yr Video looks good. Guess i'll wait and see how the game goes. After all, i waited for SF to see if everyone liked it, before i bought it.
March 26, 200619 yr I just pray pray pray PRAY that cloaking wont be as cheap as the cloakers from Planetside. -.-
