End of the Week: Clash of the Titans: Why Battlefield 2142 Needs a Sequel

End of the Week writes:

"Sometimes, when you play a game, you experience something so unique, and so different from the typical big games out there, that it lasts you for years. Then, when those years pass, you begin to wonder why that game hasn't received a sequel, or really just anything quite like it. For me, that game is Battlefield 2142, specifically the Titan mode."

God Titan was such an incredible game mode, though my computer was too bad to run the game smoothly once on the Titan when you have 64 people in a tiny space all running around shooting and stuff.

i agree.. I sunk about 600 hours into BF 2142 and it was one of the best multiplayer games I ever played. But, I get what you're saying.. it was laggy as hell once inside the titan especially when the defending team wud camp near the consoles and keep tossing infinite nades down the hallway. LOL

The game itself had huge bugs once you got onto the Titan (mega lag) that still hasn't been fixed. Still agree though it was a lot of fun.

I think bf2142 should get a remake after bf3 and Mirror's edge. It's the next logical step without milking or over saturating modern shooters, and it should give 343 Studios a run for it's money.

firemassacre5014d ago

battowfeewed 2142 should certainly get a remake.

AO1JMM5014d ago

I'd buy a sequel aka 2143.

nutcrackr5014d ago

Hell yes it does, 2142 is my fav BF game. Titan mode was great but was somewhat laggy, they fixed it by freezing the Titan. It would be less of an issue today I would guess. 2142 is so well balanced, quick and massive. If the titan was well defended you could always just capture the silos and have the missiles do the work, then they'd soon vacate the Titan.

2142 is my all time favourite BF game by a long shot, indeed Titan mode remains the most fun I've had with a multiplayer game.

Sure the lag was really bad on the titans, especially when the two titans got parked next to each other. However, I hated servers that stopped the commander from moving the titan, it completely ruined the pacing of the gameplay, especially on huge maps like Shuhiba Taiba.

For me Battlefield 1942 is my fav, and best overall. Would be nice if DICE remastered this in the new engine and expansions that came with it. I know it would sell a ton.

JEECE2466d ago

I don't think it would. As much as I agree with you on it being great (it's one of my all time favorite multiplayer games), I don't know that its systems would work in today's market. For instance, the class system is totally static; there are no guns artificially locked away that you have to "earn." I prefer this, but I feel like modern players who have no frame of reference for the pre-COD4 era of FPS games would think a lack of a progression system is boring.

Possibly you meant that something like this would be added, but by remaster I took you to mean changes in the graphics/physics/engine etc. rather than game systems.

Plus I'd be wary of them touching 1942 again after the disappointing 1943.

Hungryalpaca2466d ago

I’ve never liked he concept of every army using every gun available. I find it ridiculous. Seems only “hardcore” games use proper equipment per team these days.

XxINFERNUSxX2466d ago

Well, yes, graphics/physics/engine etc. They can also bring it up to modern standards, like how BF4, and now V will be like, with unlocks, progression system etc.

Battlefield 2 for me it was first large scale mp battles
when i first fired it up and my pc could run it I went and spent over £100 on keyboard just to play the game
Flying a troop carrier to the mainland with 6 pals in the back and one in a cobra alongside I got goose bumps.... happy days

Crazyglues2466d ago

They got it right, Nothing was better then Bad Company 2 and sadly since DICE doesn't know why it was so good we will never get a Battlefield like that game ever again.... For the first time ever I don't even think I will buy this one, Battlefield V just looks like a Battlefield 1 reboot...So I guess I'm done, it was nice while it lasted...

Modders bring Battlefield 2142 back from the dead, multiplayer working, featuring even custom maps

DSOGaming writes: "Back in October, we informed you about the termination of Revive; a mod that re-enabled multiplayer functionalities in a number of Battlefield games, including Battlefield 2142. Thankfully, a team of modders has figured out another way in order to restore multiplayer in Battlefield 2142."
