Whom loves how this franchise turned out? I still remember the old days of Battlefield 1942 days, which was amazingly good. Then Battlefield 2 made things intense and fun. But i think battlefield 2142 was a little too much and out of my league. What do you think?

I've bought each game and expansion the week they came out starting with 1942. Looking back at it now, they never topped 1942. I've always looked at BF as an arcade shooter and not a realism game and that's what I loved about it. Vietnam was just a joke when it came out. BF2 was fun for a while but they did too many game play changes to that game. Too many people complained about the lack of realism and they let them dictate game play, prime example being when they took out the ability to shoot while jumping. Then 2142 never felt right. I loved the idea of the invade the other teams super cool space ship maps (can't remember what those were called) but they never worked well. Not to mention all the other bugs with that game

Heck yeah. That was an amazing map. But back on the topic of the game, I got in starting with Vietnam and finally got 2142 a month ago. I must say, BF2 was amazing and I still feel it blows 2142 away, but it took FOREVER to rank up. I did adore the dogfights though.

I started with 1942, which I consider one of the best BFs. The expansion packs for it were meh, but secret weapons was pretty interesting for a little bit. BFV was REALLY fun, if you like the BFV graphics and vegetation, but want to play on 1942 with that, check out the BFV WWII Extended mod. Its the same game as 1942 just with the BFV engine.
Bf2 did a few things to imrpove upon the franchise. They added the commander, squads, VOIP, and more weapons. However, they went backwards with all the glitches they had (and still have) and the 1000000 hour long load screens.
Now this brings up to BF2142, the most recent installment in the franchise. They got a couple of things right and somethings really off in here. Lets start with the good: Highly customizable classes and load outs, tons of quick unlocks, balanced infantry classes. Another good idea was the Titan gameplay mode. I loved this because it focused the combat in one area and it became really intense with 64 people fighting over something the size of a cap point. However, the vehicles in 2142 were way unbalanced. If you got a mech with a supply crate, you would never die. Players could barely kill them unless they did suicide demo charges. The AT players didnt carry enough munitions to be effective against any vehicles. But atleast they fixed the long level load times.

wow you played 2142 more than i have. i hated it from the start, too much for me. i stick to bf2, i would play 1942 if i could find it. but i admit 1942 was fun from the demo up to the date. i love the planes dropping bombs the old skewl way. and will always remember wake island daily

BF2 took way to long to get upgrades which killed it for me.... Dont get me started on the planes...... I think I walked away one time with a 130-10 kills to deaths ratio..... Fly fast, Bomb, and Repeat.
1942 Was by far my fav but no one plays it any more....
Right now playing 2142 but its ok...... Like most said the walker is waaay over powered... But if you can find a no car/armor game its quiet fun.
I like the idea of not waiting months before you get an upgrade

True. I've played it tons, and I still don't have my Support guns.

I got all of them but my BF2 wouldn't update but I can play BF2142 with anyone
i admit 1942 was really good. but i think bf2 was my favorite of all time. even though it did take long for upgrades, thats what made me want to keep playing for more. and i sticked to one gun the majority of the time. i hate machine guns, just like DOD, so everything else just fell right into play. i also love how you can manipulate the rocket launcher.
fox, i cant wait either, i'm gonna get it for 360, i saw the trailer for it
