Things wrong with BF2142

[spliffted]

This is the official "shit wrong with 2142 that needs to be fixed" thread.

Post anything at all about the game that you think should be fixed, whether it be a bug or a problem with gameplay.

I'll start us off...


-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



- The Squad bug still exists from BF2. Only way to remedy is reconnect to the server.

- Serious issue using ALT+Tab with the program, I hope this is fixed soon.

- Excessive lag in Titan mode, particulary 48/64p servers. Best remedy would be to make the titans stationary once the shields are down.

- Not sure if anyone else has noticed this, but sometimes I spawn with the wrong kit. Also at random times all your unlocks will remove themselves and you have to reapply them, very annoying.

- IMO every time you join a server all your unlocks should already be applied, or you should be able to save your customizations to preload everytime you join a server and you can modify from there if need be.

- Bug with Squad Beacon sometimes not registering / squad members not being able to spawn.

- Bug with not being able to spawn on your titan (haven't witnessed this myself)

- Knife combat is a bit fucked, same as BF2 with some hits not registering ect.

- Mechs randomly stop working normally, and will start sliding/jerking around abnormally, fixed by exiting and re-entering the mech.

- Tanks turrets are WAY TOO underpowered, you can't kill shit with them.

- The air vehicle guided missile is a pain in the ass to use, and practically useless for bombing vehicles.

- Kits fall through the floor of the titan when you die, you can't pickup any kits - because they fell.... through the floor...

- Annoying delay entering vehicles, i've noticed this too.

- Negative points for TK too harsh?

[Fireblade]

I find when you jump in a mec it starts the slide funny then you get out in in its ok.

[Plasma]

I agree with preconfigs of unlocks. Pisses me off when i forget to add stuff.

Also everynow and then i select a kit and spawn with something else :/

[Lolo]

- Tanks turrets are WAY TOO underpowered, you can't kill shit with them.



WTF? are you serious?

[spliffted]

^ Yes, I mean the turrets on top of the tanks, not the actual tank itself. Heck I can kill people easier with the turrets on the jeeps. :/

Fireblade I covered that one. :P

soory, but you're wrong.
i tank a lot and the tanks are just fine as is

[spliffted]

hmm i dunno, I'll give them another try but from what i've seen it's bloody hard to kill people with it (unless they're low on health) when compared to say the turrets from BF2's tanks.

[KiLL3r]

i agree about the tanks machine gun is underpowered. it sounsd and kinda looks like a mini gun but does stuff all damage

[Smudge1]

Your talking about the machine gun not the main gun ?
If so I agree , it is harder to hit infantry ect than in BF2 but this at least gives the guys on foot a chance.

[spliffted]

i agree about the tanks machine gun is underpowered. it sounsd and kinda looks like a mini gun but does stuff all damage

Yup, on another note, that position 2 gunner seat in the APC's is awesome, it's like raining death on infantry - great for racking up kills but it doesn't seem to do any damage to vehicles, would be good if it did.

Sorry yeah turret was probably the wrong word, they're just mounted machine guns aren't they. Yeah they're crap.

[Fireblade]

The hover tanks are hard to move so make them stronger will balance the tanks on both sides

[Lolo]

Ah I see spliffted, yeah the .50 cal in BF2 ripped shit up, I guess the trade off with 2142 is that you don't have as much killing power but the gun remains stable even when the tank is moving underneath you......

ALT - TAB issues, I had same probs getting black screen or crashes. This was resolved by making sure my desktop res was the same as the game and now no more problems here

Not being able to spawn on the Titan, I've had it a few times, could just be me doesn't bother me as I just launch on to it with an APC and knife the dudes in the upper level covering the cargo bay :P

[spliffted]

Thanks Fubar, sucks if you want to use a different resolution to your desktop res but oh well 'tis good enough I guess.

Another one: Kits falling through the floor of the titan (bug, and a pretty gay one)

[Tiddles]

Some times the MBT won't move on a slight hill (The map with the titan graveyard) i.e. forwards.

[Captcol]

I saw somewhere that said refresh rate also affected this, so if resolution and refresh rate are the same in both desktop and game it should be sweet

[Arnifix]

The game has yet to give me a satisfying bj while playing. Other than that, it pleases me.

If you put the LCD on the floor you can just do it to yourself as usual while playing :jester:

[smegmacheese]

There seems to be a lot of delay for me getting in and out of vehicles....sometimes I find I stand there for a while spamming E, holding E before it kicks in. My ping is fine, and I don't have this issue in BF2.

Collision thing needs a rehash, like they did in bf2, if you are idling you don't squish dudes who brush you. Today I was sitting in a tank stationary, a friendly apc nudged me from behind which caused miniscule movement, and I squished a guy to the side of me (phucker punished of course).


I still don't like the neg 6 tk punish c/f 1 per kill, seems too harsh, maybe I just need to focus more on getting the extra points provided by obeying commands to offset this.

[nick247]

- squad leader bug
ie squad leader will suddenly not be able to be spawned on, as in no green dot

- squad bug
Your in a squad but you and only you cannot spawn on the leader

- kick from squad
Ive heard of a bug where hte squad leader drops from the squad constantly

- No tag bug
Ive seen only one incidence of someone with absolutly no tag thingy on them identifying them as your team, as in no name when your crosshair is on them

- Cant spawn on titan
Yup seen this on verdun alot

-----------------------------------------------------------

BUT

1) The tank minigun is perfect, its not meant to be some overpowering death gun that the .50cal on the jeep is

2) "the secondary fire on the btr should kill vehicles as well"........ffs have you ever heard of balancing a game, if i didnt know better i would swear you just wanted some invincible spam armour so you could spawn camp a flag without actually having to rely on your team..........yeah thats just what the game needs a piece of armour that kills everything and has no weaknesses

comeon think about it

[spliffted]

lol fair enough, the APC is perfect how it is then. Definately wouldn't it want it to be nerfed in any way.

[Tiddles]

I had one this morning. I had a field upgrad from the previous round(beacon) and it wouldn't deploy, but it kept coming up in chat saying that it is and it was still in my hand and not on the ground. Ive had a hard day.

this guy appears to be doing it wrong too :disappoin

[elemunk]

I agree with your list in the first post, but your wrong about these two.



- Tanks turrets are WAY TOO underpowered, you can't kill shit with them.

- The air vehicle guided missile is a pain in the ass to use, and practically useless for bombing vehicles.

[Tiddles]

New round...
Finished the round and it was on the titan that got destroyed.
Then the second round I encountered it.

[Lyesalot]

there is a bug with the squad beacon. At the start of the round when I hadn't put any down at all it was saying "squad beacon is now active" but it wasn't putting any down, no matter how many times I tried. I think it was the same problem as tiddles, as i remember I put it on the enemy titan the round b4.

[smegmacheese]

More annoyances:

From commander screen cannot see Silo numbers easily when any units are there. or vice versa. The two mask each other. A squad name pretty much blots out the silo....

Dunno if this was mentioned, using G to grab someones kit is very hit and miss...I have a lot of difficulty with it.

Tone down the collisions !!!! You are able to jump down reasonable banks without dying in this game, but if a car idles into another it's TK time.

What about a pointer to where supply crates are ???? similar to BF2, there's a zillion boring coloured boxes on most maps that look similar to supply crates.

Make an assign squad leader ability somehow, so you don't have to keep doing all the leaving and joining crap until you finally get it right, or have to make another squad. Though possibly this is meant to be difficult.....

Squad number tags disappearing when players are in vehicles, find some way to display both.

Back to telly =p

DID U BLOW THE LAST ONE UP?

if you dont, u cant put another one down

[spliffted]

The squad leader assign is an awesome idea. Why the fuck hasn't this been implemented already. :/

[Xt1ncT]

EA maintenance time on Tuesday evenings..!!!!! Fuck that annoys me :cussing:

[spliffted]

lol they have 'maintenance' times!? that's new.

I was wondering why the master server suddenly crashed.

[Cripple]

I've had continuous unstoppable firing in the walkers twice now with both the rockets and cannon (not at the same time though). Re-entering the walker doesn't solve it either.

And yeah being unable to spawn on the SL sucks :cussing:

[Xt1ncT]

ratshit.. so no bf for me tonight

[Hazard]

With the Squad Leader Beacon, as Q said, you have to blow it up OR you can go up to it and press G to pick it up (providing it's the one you dropped) before you can drop another one

[Arnifix]

That's what squadmates are for. Tell one of them to grab it when they spawn on it.

[Steady]

Wtf I don't understand. Theres nothing wrong with 2142 it's perfect.

apparently the times above are US, so in effect it is actually 9pm till 12am Tuesdays for us!!

:cussing: :cussing: :cussing:

Wont happen every Tuesday and wont take 3 hours just that the mainteneace will be done at some point during that time. With BF2 it usually lasted around an hour

[Captcol]

The alt tab thing works fine as long as you do not enter back into the game too quick, i have found that thirty seconds seems to be heaps of time, if you watch the task manager when you alt tab out you will see when the ram or cpu usage drops (can't remember which one) and then you can go back in....I have had no troubles doing it this way my system is amd 64 3200+ with 2gig of 400mhz if that makes any difference

[Captcol]

I have found the squad leader a couple of times, most of the time it was becuase the squad leader was too close to a wall or something, i think the same thing can happen with the beacon...not sure on that tho

Come on Richard.
It was in round 1 that I placed it on the Titan.
Round one ends and I marvell my score of 12.
Round 2 begins of same map.
I can't place beacon.
Get it now????

Also, i get a CTD when i pull out the beacon when im a squad member. LOL, just wanted to see what would happen.

Did you customise your kit when on the opposite side? What normally happens when you've been auto-swapped at the round end is that you need to customise your new kit(s), and if you didn't that could explain it.

Otherwise I don't know :bounce:

[Tiddles]

Yea i customised my kit, had to, otherwise i'd be running around without my unlocks.

[Fubar]

In titan mode sentry guns and claymores need to be removed.

Titan mode is becoming a campfest as more and more people get their unlocks

[KiLL3r]

its easy to get past sentry guns and claymores.

for sentry guns you just have to work as a team

claymores just use the defuser

[joshmaister]

its the shit man i love it ive got 20% of my kills fron using it

[Fubar]

If you manage to get on to the upper deck and drop down a hatch you have a 50% chance of surviving either the sentry gun or claymore or infantry waiting for you.

Then you have the same problem trying to attack the corridors.

If you actually manage to destroy the consoles you then have to get past the support, grenades, C4, claymore wall at the core door. Quite frankly its getting ridiculous.

Titan mode has gone from attacking the titans to just capping silos as its far easier

[nick247]

thing wrong: stat whores who just play titan all the time and run through the core when its being attacked droping claymores and throwing nades......get some skill

um i dont run thru core dropping clays and c4. sur ei play titan but wtf is point of playing boring old conquest. there a reason there a new gamemode there to be played

and nick how is camping the titan different from you camping spawn in conquest? I guess you only posted that comment because you recently got owned in a titan round?

[Xt1ncT]

Haha - just yanking your chain dude..!!!


and nick how is camping the titan different from you camping spawn in conquest? I guess you only posted that comment because you recently got owned in a titan round?This happens a lot in fall of berlin - blip was parking the APC near the uncap and gunning down anyone who spawned - which was sad seeing as there were no other spawns...!!!

playing Titan only one level of gay, playing titan only ever defending - another world of gay.

Xt1ncT: Sorry for inconvenience and loss of life.

[Crusafier]

another annoying thing, the collision/slide thing for jeeps is back, you know the classic *jump out of jeep on hill and be killed by jeep that is sliding at a stupidly slow rate*

[KiLL3r]

i think this needs to be nerfed a bit. i spent 10-20min hovering over enemy titan dropping people off. every person dropped i get 1 point. every 10 i get a badge worth 20pts

the next 2 pages that you cant see in this SS are all troop transporter pins lol

yeah you whore. you got a suprise yesterday thou when u chased me back to my titan and waited for me to take off again but instead got a drop pod on your head :rnr:

[spliffted]

lol Killer...

how do you hover man? I tried that but i couldn't stay still in one place, kept moving all over the place and eventually a gunship just keeps shooting me down because i stick out like dogs balls?

do you need a joystick to hover or something?

[KiLL3r]

lol Killer...

nah i just keep tapping W

sometimes im at 280ft sometimes im not watching and im almost hitting the titan lol.

i was pretty lucky all the enemy needed to do was hop on AA and id be a gonner.
