Well worth the read

Great article! Very nice find Tigerhawk. Here are two points that I really liked.

 

BF2142.se is proud to present, first in the world, the new feature Network Battlefield!

 

Network Battlefield is that you can see, and benefit from, what your mate (in your squad) see. Here’s an example of how it work, with some theory involved.

 

You’re standing behind a wall, on the other side of the wall there’s an enemy, which you don’t see. If one of your squad members aims at the enemy a figure will pop up in your 3D map, same map as in BF2, that tells were the enemy is located. I think you understand of this feature can be used. But the fun part isn’t over yet. Depending on which kit your squad members have (independent of which member that sees the enemy) you will get different benefits. If you have a “recon” in your squad you will be able to se enemies from longer distance. If you have an “assault” in your squad you’ll see which kit the enemy is using. In case you have an “engineer” in your squad you’ll see is located in a vehicle, and if one of your squad member is “support” you’ll see the quantity of HP and ammunition. To sum up: The more different kits you have in your squad, you’ll have bigger advantage over your enemies.

 

It’s only the people in your squad that sees this in the 3D map; you still have to spot an enemy so that all in your team can see him/her. The possibility to automatically show enemies at the HUD (Network Battlefield) is a server property and it can be turned off.

and THE BIGGEST ONE...

 

One feature many people wants in Bf2 is the possibility to change your nick and keep your stats, is that possible in BF2142?

 

Yes, you will be able to change your nick and keep the stats!

Gator I love the first point. It supports the TEAM WORK type of playing that wins battles.

Roger that, Strobes. Its a very long article, but well worth the time to read it. It is very informative, and the writer is extremely candid. I loved it!

FUN FUN FUN.... I think Bf2142 will be better, at least better than bf2

Could Be we will have to see.

True, but from what I can see, and read ...its going to be a blast

Thats some great features, the more teamwork you use, the better things you get. Being able to change your name is a plus too.

As long as it's not the one I am already climbing in. First thing I want to do is step on impact!

You and everyone else

Great article! Very nice find Tigerhawk.

Thank you Gator When I read that I knew I had to post it. That's why I was still up so late.

looking foward to 2142, it looks like its going to be great.

Wow. I have'nt bothered to check this forum for long time as i figured bf2142 would be same as bf2 but different maps/player models/weapons...

 

Thanks TigerHawk and Gator for so much impressive info.

 

I stand corrected, in my seat.

 

It truly is something to look forward to. The knowing who is around cover that team mate can see is great and reasonable since with current troop technology of headsets, we would know this from team radio channel like in FA. Cool.

 

Next concern is minimum system requirements.

Heres some more info on bf2142
