BF2142 Beta Opens [Sep 07, 2006, 10:58 pm ET] – Share – Viewing Comments
EA announces that beta testing of Battlefield 2142 will open up to another
10,000 testers tomorrow, with a paid subscription no longer required to test DICE's coming shooter sequel, though a
free registration is:
The Battlefield 2142 public beta period has been extended until Tuesday, September 12. In addition, due to the overwhelming response to the beta, DICE and EA have opened 10,000 new slots to the public.
The 10,000 new slots are available on a first-come, first-served basis starting Friday, September 8th at 10am PST. A free GameSpy ID is required to participate.
A new version of the tuning beta is also available now, which already includes more than 1,000 changes to the game based on feedback from the beta to date. Current players will need to download the new client, but no new access key is required.
The beta has been a huge success over the past two weeks, with more than 65,000 gamers participating, helping DICE secure a clean launch for the game on October 17th.
So, Better graphics and better physics are not a reason to buy a new computer to play a new game?????
No. Not if it's still the same old gameplay.
Then again, my dislike of the BF series has nothing to do with EA. I don't mind EA, unlike most people. I don't think EA ruins things, and it's easy to avoid their crap and only buy their good stuff.
I just think DICE is inept, and should be the crap you avoid. I thought the BF2 demo was fun for about five minutes before the gameplay mechanics started to feel off and annoying. I thought the full game was worse. The game was fun for getting in a humvee and running people over. I thought it sucked if you were on foot or in anything else.
EA = fine. DICE = awful.
