Yeah that is cool. This is one of the few BF games I skipped entirely but I will be getting it on Steam. For a reduced price and all patched up of course. Awesome.

If you think the controls/movement in Bad Company 2 are sluggish you won't like 2142. I personally do but it was always laggy.

At a discount price I hope, I haven't bought nor played 2142 or Vietnam, it'd be nice to add those to my veteran then I'll be at 100%.

This was a few years ago (late 06/early 07ish), whenever I got on a titan particularly it was laggy hell, may have just been myself though.

2142 is much more refined than BC2's controls and glitches. I don't know what you're talking about.

Just head to EA store and it's probably like 8$ or so. Cost around 10$ for me. This is the Deluxe Edition which includes Northern Strike.

But go for BF2142, it's far better than BF2 in every single way.

Oh and don't think it's a mod because.

It got new textures.
New animations
New models
New Game mode
New vehicles
New weapons
New rank system
New and somewhat unique weapons
Rewarding Squad play
APCs that make mince meat out of soldiers :D

If you played Battlefield 2 and went on to play 2142, you must have noticed 2142 feels like yourself and everything else is much bulkier. I like the game and played a lot of it, but it does seem like that to me.

I never mentioned 'glitches'? 2142 has been out since 2006 and Bad Company 2 is in it's infancy, of course there's glitches.

:/

The game for me felt exactly like a BF2 game in the future.

Bulkier? No, not what I can remember. It was still fast paced as it it still had the same movement style as in BF2.

Same engine you know.

Gumz , Dice patched out the ability to move Titans in game as a cure for a few years , more recently some servers have it running to move Titans again so I believe it's fixed , 2142 is an awesome game in it's own right , and the NorthernStrike add-on is icing on the cake to it.

BF2 just had a more appealing theme than 2142. 2142 is by far the better game though. Its painful going back to using the weapons in BF2 after playing 2142 for a long time.

A higher player count doesn't make it a better game, BF2 has way more balance issues than 2142.

loooool when is the last time you played 2142? I loaded that game up right before this beta came out and the controls and movement, while not horrible, are not nearly as responsive as BC2. Not to mention there are still many glitches left in that game that have been there since it was released...Not that that actually stopped me from logging more hours in that game than any other.

I just loved the fact that support weapons in 2142 weren't the absolute garbage they were in BF2. Loved the support class in 2142, just ahead of the medic. You can just imagine how pleased I am with the medic in BC2...lol.

I can't wait for this game to hit steam. I've been playing the BF series since BF1942. I always felt BF2142 was a bit more polished than BF2. Yes it has it's flaws but still a very enjoyable game.

Unfortunately I've lost my BF2142 account and CD box so I'll have to get it again. I'm hoping after it gets released we get a discount weekend soon, because I don't want to pay 20 EUR or more (BF2 currently has that price) since I already payed full price in the past. I'm still kicking myself for not buying BF2 on the new year discount sale.

Go, go DICE, release the 1.51 patch asap and get it on steam! :cool:

This is from their twitter page today: Niklas is back on BF2142, working on finishing v1.51 once and for all. Watch this space for more information.

I disagree. Bad company 2 is sluggish however, 2142 is the opposite it has fast movement and zoom. 2142 is one of my all time favourite games, the only downside is the fog present on all levels which reduces the view distance dramatically.

Of the classes that you can play in the game, I feel like the medic was overpowered version of the assault class. And the assault class itself is the most under utilized class of 2142.

I like BFBC2 class distinction better.

I like 2142, Though it don't have many choices of weapons per class, the weapons are distinctive gameplay wise.

Sad COD4:MW killed it in my region.

Battlefield 2142 really is a great game. I was even satisfied when I bought the Northern Strike booster pack for it... New maps, with a theme, new weapons, new vehicles, new gadgets. In some ways, BF2142 is better than what BF:BC2 will be. It certainly has features that BC2 doesn't. It's well balanced and the classes are well put together. It did have its problems though... lots of map glitches and lag while fighting on the Titans on 64 player servers.

I'm almost afraid to reinstall BF2142, because I might start playing it again instead of BF:BC2 which I've already pre-ordered and paid for and am looking forward to. :)

rich0984
02-12-2010, 04:15 AM

There's 2 ways by which I mean sluggish. Aiming down sights and reloading take longer than they did in 2/2142 which has slowed the pace down significantly for me. Secondly, spawn points are few and far between meaning I always end up a long distance from the action unless there is the option to spawn on squad leader. Obviously this could just be this level and the rush style of gameplay which I have not used before as BC1 was not for PC. I just hope there's some good traditional battlefield capture the flag gameplay.

Doubt it. The games are nearly 10 years old now. I don't know how much money they would make off of a game that's that outdated.

Highly anticipating 2142's release to Steam. All of my Battlefield CDs are all battered and bruised and the patches take very long to download and then apply to the game. Just about to purchase the BF2 collection too on Steam! The best thing about it is they are the best FPS games of its time and they're going to be cheap no doubt too! :D

Note to all BC players: these are the true Battlefield games - 64 player battles, proper Conquest maps (not maps that have just 3 or 4 capture points..), better squad systems (in my opinion) and commanders, great vehicle combat and massive maps! I recommend the old games !

2142 had so much potential, but the lack of content really killed it.
They removed so many vehicles, and the ones that were worth a damn went to waste because players who couldn't play would just kamikaze ground tanks/walkers with aircraft.

I did like the dogtag system a lot though.

I don't know, might purchase it if the community isn't totally destroyed like Battlefield 2's is.

I also liked the the unlock system with 2 trees for each class.
Even more than BFBC2's system.

Maybe I'll buy both BF2 and BF2142 if there's a cheap bundle during a Steam sale, as I already own both games including all expansions/boosters.

2142 is much more refined than BC2's controls and glitches. I don't know what you're talking about.

Not even close. Go play the damn game for a few hours and tell us that again. Controls are sluggish, game feels slow in almost every aspect. weapon system blows.


2142 was AWESOME for its time. Now, it sucks.

I bought 2142 (it's my second BF game) on last November 2010 on EA Store I play 3-4 times at week and I found lots of players on Assault Lines, Conquest and Titan.

My favorite servers are: Doorman is god (conquest) and TBG clan servers.

Latest patch is 1.51 that came just a few days ago.

However definitively 2142 is not noob friendly pretty hard at the beginning with all classes, kits, squads, orders, weird map symbols.

I think you need to go play the game again because 2142 is superior to BC2 in every respect except graphics and occasional latency issues. I seriously don't know what you're talking about by "sluggish controls" and you didn't even explain what you meant by the weapon system being awful. Whatever aspect of the system you're complaining about, it can't be as bad as Bad Company 2's stupidly large amount of redundant weapons.

I installed that new patch and reinstalled the game out of curiosity to see what the new maps were like and whanot.

10 servers total. Half of them 24/7 camp G. I went on the highest populated server and i recognized people that were playing from when i stopped playing almost 2 years ago.

Couple people were like: "Are you that Field_Boy that quit a long time ago.?"

Then i asked "why in the hell are you guys not only still playing...but you are playing on campG and not the new maps."

Some guy says "campG is timeless for me."

I don't know where do you live but I can only find just 1 Camp Gibraltar server.

I usually play Conquest on Doorman is god server or TBG Clan server (they added to the rotation the Northern strike maps + new ones).

Titan I play it through TBG or other servers.

Camp Gibraltar server is very crowded always but I avoid it also nowadays is more easier to find games on Northern Strike maps or Strike at K. than older Verdun (my favorite) or Suez.

I bought 2142 in last October but I didn`t start playing until December... I consider this game amazing very different the only thing that they missed is the lack of drones.

The walkers are fun, sniper really sucks. BTW with new 1.51 patch they improved some textures.

Bazajaytee personal BLOG post, posted today: Is Battlefield 2142 ever coming to STEAM? (http://www.bazajaytee.com/2011/05/04/is-battlefield-2142-ever-coming-to-steam/)

So I get this question a lot about what is taking so long bringing BF2142 to STEAM.

First there was the requirement of v1.51 on PC to be completed and released. Then, as some of you know from the forums, the plan was to wait for the Mac conversion to be completed before releasing on STEAM. However, the Mac conversion is taking longer than expected so this week the full version of BF2142 incluing v1.51 and Northern Strike went off to go through its process of being STEAM wrapped.

This is usually a pretty quick process but at this time I don’t have more exact dates as that will come down to Valve and EA discussions and agreements. As soon as I hear of a date that BF2142 will go on STEAM I will let you know.

Mac users, v1.51 including all the content is coming but there is no ETA on that yet either.

For those who have been asking, DVD and EA Store codes will not work with STEAM so you will not be able to redeem your code and have the option of downloading through STEAM instead of using disc or EA Store.

Bazajaytee is the DICE producer in charge of BF2/BF2142.

BF2142 was very fun, However i STILL Think that BF2 is alot more fun. You can disagree with me if you want to.

But thats just my opinion .. Today BF2 has more players then BF2142. Probably because some people like it more.

If BF2142 comes to steam i think more people will buy it, And that means that we get more players in BF2142 :D

Sorry to hear that. I bought it yesterday and at first it crashed on startup on my Win 7 64 bit system. I manually updated Punkbuster and it's now running well in compatibility mode with Win XP SP 2.

Gave up and bought it on origin. Have been displeased so far.

I've joined a few different servers and all of them have had aimbots on them. So I just said screw it and played anyway. Then after the aimbots left it was nothing but tards running around with c4 throwing it and committing suicide.

The game itself seems fun. Unfortunately, the players ruined it within 20 matches for me.

Also, random deviation is stupid. 3 times in those matches I was no more than 20 meters away and my awful luck made most of the shots miss despite aiming for center mass on non-moving people. Then they turn and get lucky shots and it's over.

They also basically noobified everything else from BF2. It's almost impossible to crash any of the air support.

I'll still try it again at some point, but I've been unimpressed thus far.

I haven't seen any cheaters in a few hours of gameplay and every squad I joined was working together as a team to capture bases and destroy enemy Titans. I've enjoyed the game so far.

The random deviation is a relic and annoying but you have to remember you're playing a 5 year old game that is a polished but not necessarily superior version of BF2.

Yup getting laid out by people that are way beyond rendering distance 4 seconds after a match starts is generally attributed to an aimbot.

Fact bro.

The only thing 2142 doesn't have over BFBC2 is player numbers. Other than that it's superior in every way there is from hit reg to game mechanics. It's why BFBC2 is looked at by an intelligent Battlefield player as a devolution of the franchise rather than something that adds to it. Destruction is cool but it brings it's own issues such as if you adjust map length it destroys balance.

I'm not sure what to think. If it were me and I wanted to play 1942 or 2142 I would just buy a copy from another source. I bought 2142 on Origin a few days ago and it's a good game, with a small but active community playing it online.

IMO, just buy it from Origin or Amazon if you want 2142. It's a good game and there is still a small community of people playing it but who knows what will happen after BF3 is out.

When will be released on steam, community 2142 revive! I don't understand that occurs to managers EA, release 2142 on steam will be the compromise for EA and players. EA still can present to game new life... Will not release - 2142 die forever!

I'm just about to install BF2142 from a retail disc, I've noticed that Steam is'nt responding to it. Will it integrate with Steam at all?

You can add the game as a non-Steam shortcut so you can use Steam to launch the game, but it won't be tied to your Steam account and you won't have all the benefits that comes from Steam.

Not likely. You may be able to launch it with the Steam Overlay, but it's definitely not on Steam.

Will it be possible to add an existing serial key of 2142 to Steam or something just to manage the updates?

I bought 2142 years ago and would consider playing it again if Steam would manage it.
(I was going to start playing again last year but finding the pages with the updates on was like a maze.. there was no direct link to it, I'd imagine adding it to Steam would make the update process easier).

2142 was the best in the BF series, BF3 is a joke in comparison and I only just bought that an hour ago. It baffles me why they decided to go the route of requiring a browser for every time you want to do anything... it's not a browser based game so it shouldn't act like one.

The real question would be 'does Steam overlay work with BF 2142?'. Of course what you asked doesn't work, cause there are no Steam services regarding 2142.

Any news on this issue

I've been searching the internet for any leads, still no news if 2142 will ever make it to Steam.

I read some articles though saying that it might come to Steam when the 1.5 patch is completed for the Mac.

I highly doubt the patch will ever be released though, EA doesn't care about BF2 and 2142 anymore. Log into BF2 and you will still see a "Preorder Battlefield 3, coming October".

I don't think we will see it at all.

There window of wealth has passed, there not gonna do it because there isn't enough money for them.

They have been doing this since the patch came out in February, "It will be on steam as soon as this is done etc" but you will keep waiting. Plus they have origin so they want you to use there own service.

Your damned if you do and damned if you don't by some users, you'll quickly post telling people to 'use search before asking a question' but when someone resurrects an older post to see if the question has been answered yet they immediately met with 'This is old news.......'

Irrelevant to the point, u stated "greediness" (instead of a dispute) as the reason why BF2142 isn't on Steam.

By definition greediness isn't a dispute and if EA were that greedy they would release it everywhere instead of keeping it Origin only.

Get your fact straight, BF2142/BF3 etc. are not on Steam and only on Origin because of their dispute with Valve not because of their "greediness"

Its not irrelevant, the reason crysis 2, dragon age 2 were pulled from steam was because ea wanted those titles to just be sold on origin because ea didn't want to share some of the revenue with their dlc. Steam has stated several times that they wanted bf3 and other ea titles to be sold on steam but with the recent origin being released they don't want to help out the number one digital distribution company steam. Ea titles are being sold on alot of other dd sites but the main competitor to ea is being left out. Clearly ea is greedy ....

Not true at all. both EA and Valve have stated that money is not the issue, its a dispute of EAs DLC distribution method. EA want their titles available on Steam but also want full control over the DLC distribution which they want to be handled by Origin (and yes, if you buy a game on Steam it does also appear in Origin too).

Valve say that their license clearly states that game purchased from Steam must have all patches and additional content delivered through Steam (prime example is BFBC2 which comes with its own autopatcher and et the Steam version still uses Steam to update).

You cant claim its over revenue as neither Crysis 2 nor Dragon Age II has any available paid DLC and yet both games have been pulled from Steam.

Actually they both have paid DLC. Crysis 2 has two map packs and Dragon Age II has several DLCs ie Legacy, the Black Emporium.

Just head to EA store and it's probably like 8$ or so. Cost around 10$ for me. This is the Deluxe Edition which includes Northern Strike.

But go for BF2142, it's far better than BF2 in every single way.

Oh and don't think it's a mod because.

It got new textures.
New animations
New models
New Game mode
New vehicles
New weapons
New rank system
New and somewhat unique weapons
Rewarding Squad play
APCs that make mince meat out of soldiers :D

LOL DID U JUST SAY ITS BETTER THAN BF2 IN EVERY WAY?

Yes and it was.

It was far more balanced and the classes didn't need to have 9 of them with most being useless with the exception of doing one thing.

Like why be Assault class with grenade launcher when you can just be Medic with grenades and instant heal medkits?

Along with lots of other problems that BF2 had that was just bad. Unbalanced weapons being the prime target.

The movement and shooting is pretty much the same as in BF2. But the Balance is so much better. No more 40 damage LMG known as PKM. This was in one patch turned to a sniper. I got like 1500 kills with it during that time. I out sniped snipers with it. It was insane.
