List of things I did in Battlefield 2142

[Shurikane]

-Rode a pod down to the enemy silo, before getting squished by the chopper that got me there in the first place.

-Calling for a ride, before being run over by a friendly APC 10 seconds later.

-Fired a cluster rocket to a enemy and he survived. Enemy shot me once with his assault rifle and I was dead.

-Witnessed as an enemy chopper tried 12 times to board our Titan despite me and a buddy manning the top guns and taking the exact same pilot down 12 times in succession, within 3 seconds of his chopper leaving his protective shield.

-Killed several times by a player who set it to his game's goal to teamkill as many people as possible on purpose. I later slit his throat in revenge and he sent me a punish notice for the teamkill.

-Killed as the pilot of my chopper crashes into a tree.

-Killed as I enter a Jeep and the driver goes for a head-on collision with another Jeep.

-Killed repeatedly as I board a friendly vehicle and the driver heads straight into the ocean.

-Killed as I unload from the chopper onto the enemy Titan, before the whole lot of us gets shot down by that same chopper.

-Killed as I ask the chopper pilot to get me on the roof of the enemy Titan and he proceeds to ram into it.

-Killed as our chopper pilot bails out in mid-flight.

-Killed as the rocketeer riding alongside me in the chopper fires straight into the cabin, teamkilling 8 people in a single shot.



I uninstalled the game.

Multiplayer fps games really need a serious penalty for getting killed. The main problem with them is that you come back after only a few seconds usually. The only exception being that there's no respawning due to the goal being specifically to eleminate the other team. If there was a penalty to death, then people would stop acting like retards when it comes to vehicles. Also, said penalty should never aply to anyone teamkilled, unless they have already done it multiple times themselves.

The penalties should be pretty general for getting killed normally. Like lowered stats for instance. You move slower, can't jump as high, less health. That kind of thing. If you get yourself killed, you should not be alowed to use whatever you killed yourself with for at least 5 minutes. That includes both vehicles and weapons. If you TK 10 or more people then you'd glow a bright color making you easy to see a mile away and turn into a "bullet magnet", causing all shots fired at you to be instantly drawn to you.

One other thing I would like to see is wound penalties. Stuff like moving slower because you've been shot in the leg, and decreased acuracy from being shot in the arm.

It think it would make for a much more interesting game. You wouldn't have so many dumbasses just running out into the middle of a firefight trying to act like Rambo. You'd have to actually put thought into your actions.

And while that is all good and novel, the thing is no matter what game you play, even if such things were there. You'd still find people managing to be totally reckless nonetheless.

Oh frustration, thy name is noob

[Gryph]

That's the beauty of it all. The penalties on weapons and vehicles would stack. Thus eventually leaving them with nothing but a knife. By that point they'd be too anoyed to continue playing. It would weed out most of the morons.

The problem is, some people find it fun to piss into the wind so to speak and others like to be careful.

You put in too many guidelines and those who enjoy the game by being a bit on the stupid side will decide not to play at all.

Whatit really needs is for there to be a choice of the type of server you go on, 3 of them.

Those who play the game properly
those who play the game properly but also like to be a bit silly
and those that mainly want to piss about.

Thats why I like private games on XBox Live, its completely upto you what you do!

How much of this was cluelessness and how much of it was screwing around?

I play BF2 religiously, and what you played wasn't Battlefield 2142, it was the demo. Right now people aren't taking that all TOO seriously as it is just a demo... I do have it on my computer and i'll be getting teh actual game next week. There's a lot of idiots out there that do stupid shit like that, and I have to deal with it daily. That's why you want to find a clan like >NN<, the one that Faye and I are in. It consists of mostly ages 30 and up who want a courteous gaming environment. The admins keep the server under constant surveillence for morons who teamkill and steal vehicles or cheat. We don't allow cussing over the server typing channels to keep people from fighting over stupid crap and we update the Master Ban List with the most people of any server. If you want a fun gaming environment and wish to try it again, www.clannn.com. Did you ever play BF2 Shurikane? It's better than 2142 anyway.

[Shurikane]

Funny you mention NN, 'cause I registered just yesterday. I'm gonna give the game another shot with these guys before it comes out.

Let's just say I was impressed to see 12 Engineers storm the enemy Titan as soon as its shields were down. Split in groups of 6 on each side, three kneel down, three stand to the back, FIRE!!! BOOM!!!

[Hoth]

Yeah team work helps a lot. Like when bombing something from a plane in bf 2 and your troops know to stay outta the way.
