Battlefield 1942, while fun as hell, had some of the choppiest tech and netcode I've ever seen in a product. Somehow in Battlefield Vietnam this got much much worse, to the point that BF:V is still the only game I've thrown in the trash. BF2 came along and though the tech was significantly better, you can still see its oldschool BF1942 heritage in the hitscan/damage and general movement behaviors. The tech has improved, no doubt, but the core technology has persisted, and no matter how much people hope, BF2142 is going to share that same core code, and thus is going to have the same damn issues this franchise has had all along.
Don't get me wrong - I've put significant hours into all the Battlefield products, including 400+ hours into Battlefield 2, but every step of the way has been a love-hate relationship.

PC Gamer apparently gave this a 96%. Stand back, this is about to be the RTS of the decade, I suspect. Starcraft 2, should it ever arise, won't touch it. You read it here first.

As sad as it is, people are lining up for 2142 already like good little consumers. I just... don't... get it.

They used the term "highly anticipated" in both threads and I was amused just as much both times.

You notice how they keep trying to pound how buggy 2142 WON'T be compared to how BF2 is/was? Too little too late.

Honestly, I think Carmack's legacy will always be his technology work. Games... not so much. Most of the third-party developers that have based works on Id engines have made better games than Id themselves, imo.

Nice to see Danielle's name come up. I'd love to see what she could have done with the technology available today.

Can anyone who's tried this report whether or not they've fixed the crashes on joining games? This is driving my friends and I completely nuts.

some people just don't like the Diablo style of gameplay, myself included. To this day I think Diablo 1 and 2 were two of the most overrated titles in the history of gaming, but I also realize I'm in the minority.

The netcode in BF1942 was a LOT worse and I'm surprised this hasn't really come up here. I have to lead much less in BF2 than I ever did in BF1942, where I'd often have to lead someone by 1/4" or so on-screen just to get a hit. I lied when I said I never had problems in BF2 - when I first started playing the demo I couldn't hit jack shit because of being so accustomed to the lead distance in BF1942. It took me a while to get used to it and I still have some difficulty hitting stuff on the run because of it.

I've never had any problems sniping in this game. I'm patient enough that I usually hit what I'm shooting at and even if I don't get kills on every one of them, I get a kill assist and it disrupts what the enemy's doing. That's what a good sniper is supposed to do, not rack up 800 kills a round.
