Hmmm… but I’ve never been a fan of games with, like, laser guns and shit. Like Unreal, or Quake, or even Half-Life, with it’s ridiculous Alien weapons…..
I much prefer authentic weapons, as found in Call Of Duty, B1942, Medal of Honour <---- I refuse to spell 'Honour', 'Honor'...., the immense SWAT 4, and, of course BF2. Nah, don’t know if I’m gonna take to zappers and lasers and bloody ‘gravity guns’ and whatnot…. Give me a PKM anyday…… 8)
Legit found a good link from EA to register your BF2 account, setting it to Veteran status for BF2142.

I guess it depend upon how many people in XDC really like it compared to BF2.
My prediction is that the “universes” of BF2 & BF2142 are so different that people will treat them as completely separate games and so there may well be a call to have two servers. As Manslaughter said, future fictional weapons just don’t do it for him, and I kind of agree.
The game engines are basically the same – you could look at 2142 really as an expansion/mod pack on the original, just with a few extra bits like Titan mode and shields. There was a much greater leap in features between Bf1942 & BFV, and there to BF2 which really made each a genuine advance on its predecessor. I don’t think that kind of leap will be seen in 2142 from what I have seen and read so far.
BF2 is not that old, and patches are still coming out. I would not be surprised to see other expansion packs either, and so I don’t think Bf2 will die when the new one comes out.
Don’t forget i think soon as Forgotten Hope 2 mod hits everyone will be BF2ing with that mod 🙂
Personlly i don’t think 2142 will be as big as the old battlefield games, hell i still think 1942 was way more popular

I didnt tbink that BF2142 was anything like quake? and laser guns i dont think it has from the preview i have read
Fuck this space malarky, I would play start wars if I wanted that crap. All it is is DICE milking the fucking brand. They can suck the nuggets from my morning coil in this particular case

But it has “shields” – as in electromagnetic glowing things around vehicles. This is basically equivalent to having lasers and all that futuristic crap.

LMFAO 😆
Heard it all before with BFV and BF2. Some hardcore 42’ers said they’d never play ‘Nam and some of them never did. Some came back for BF2 and some disappeared from battlefield altogether. The games are always evolving – get rid of the idea that there’s going to be some game everyone is going to play together again – it aint going to happen folks.
I’ll give 2142 a go and if i dont like it I will find something else. As regards BF2 – great game but I think its run out of steam – adding content via paid-for expansion packs was a mistake imho – it’s killed the idea of mixing maps on a vanilla server so to have a full server its either all vanilla or all expansion packs. The lack of mods has also shorten its life – that was something that kept 42 going for longer. FH2 coming out after 2142 is a serious cock-up. It will end up being the preserve of hard-core FH fans and get little new interest. Sadly.
If enough interest is there amongst the paying members of XDC for 2142 on the server then I am sure it will go on – for a while anyway!

That will be the one that does not allow our = signs 🙁
Signed up as ‘Ruimte’ (Space in Dutch)
I think (having checked the features) they were keeping most guns as bullet types rather than zap guns for the exact reasons you lot raise, that it feels better to the gamer to be shooting bullets rather than zap guns that go whoosh.
I can’t wait for the game and will have it day one 🙂
