I starting this thread for Battlefield 2142 the sequel to Battlefield 2...

First, a Question for Redleg...

Will Milforums be hosting a ranked server for BF 2142 as it does BF2?

The game comes out tomorrow in the USA, friday for Europe.

Anybody have any thoughts, played the demo, or was part of the beta program?

I've been messing around with the demo. I not sure what to make of it I play Recon and frankly I think I prefer BF2 but I'll withhold final judgement. The problem with the demo is that the really cool things such as the unlocks and the player customization are not included so it doesnt feel like a major change. It feels more like a mod than a sequel. Snipers were always the gimped class in BF2 and with the bobbing rifle it harms us even more. I was also hoping we would get a PDW other than a pistol, but alas...

The graphics and sound are improved but are not stunning. I have only seen the one map (which stinks) but I hear there are others that are better (Verdun).

What I like: Dogtags. If you knife kill an oppenent you get his tags, very cool. Seems to be harder to score knife kills though. Airpower isnt uber-powerful, the days of 80 KPR are over. There are lots of anti-air assets from guns, EMP weapons, manpads, etc. Titans are powerhouses but slow, and I still have managed to sit in the 2nd gunners chair.
