Hmm well i still miss BF1942. still the best in my opinion ๐
Yeah BF1942 had more patches but they added stuff and the free updates that they did for it.
BF2 patchs have all been bug fixes and not really added anything. and the free updates? oh the paid booster packs! lol
Also notice that each BF game we get less and less maps to play on. i mean come on its getting annoying now.
Sorry but BF1942 still and always will be the best of the lot. sequels are rarely better than the original.

Buffing up those rose tinted specs there m8 ๐ Bf2 patches have included two new maps and various additions such as vehicle drops. The unlocks brought in the weapon content which could have dumped in a patch and passed off as free content if they wanted. As far as i can remember 42 patches included maps but no other content (apart from giving the japs the correct guns ๐ ) And don’t forget the RtR and Secret Weapons expansions which people bitched like mad about when they came out.
Bf42 started out unplayable and ended up unplayable with the last but one patch (for me anyway – constant disconnects after 1.5) which kind of spoiled the experience for me.
I think, like Jonny says, most of the positive feeling about 42 comes from the online community that formed around it, not necessarily the game itself. If i played it now once the warm nostalgia glow wore off I would get frustrated by the boring flat gameplay, the lack of commander/squad structure, and the constant air rape which eventually spoiled every map with aircraft in it. Apart from Corel Sea which was awesome (well i liked it).
BF2 biggest fuckup? The server crash bug in 1.3 – inexcusable.

F A Wipers! Couldnt said it better meself.
BF1942 – Well here it all started! Good in its days, but as wipers said, rapage in the air *guadcanal, and that huge desert map, cant rem.
BFV – Great step forward, and as I think everyone agrees, a big improvement from bf1942, big thumbs up for EA, although they never fixed the temple of lag and which became a joke to a all whole played that map, well known issue. The M16 kicked ass.
BF2 – Well, me fav! The dogs balls, the awesome teamplay, the commander skills, lovely jubbly.
BF2142 – It will take off, people need to give it a chance.
BF1942 was one for the pilots but it wasn’t half as bad as BF2. Look at the most popular maps on BF2 – oh, no fucking planes. There’s a shock.
Alright, I’ll cut to the chase:
Battlefield 2142 is rubbish
Red Orchestra is rubbish
But unlike you whiners here I’ve actually done something about it and programmed my own video game (sort of) which takes the good aspects of each game and combines them to create an exciting and above all realistic combat simulation.
It’s called Battle Attack Commandoes and it’s based around an imaginary conflict that took place in South Africa in the 1950’s. As you can see from the screen shot, there is infantry combat combined with air assault in a believeable and realistic way.
I’m setting it up for download at รฦรโรยขรขโยฌร ยกรฦรขโฌลกรโรยฃ15 (which won’t be refundable).
