It's funny all these posts saying 'bugs or no bugs im getting this game'.. Has there ever been a EA/Dice game without bugs? No. So just go ahead and say 'even though it will be buggy, I am getting this game'.

I was just playing BF2, until it crashed to the desktop yet again. 3 games and expansion packs, and still buggy. Quake ET for me now, piss off, DICE.

Wow what a shocker...not a single 4:3 monitor to be seen in the EA booth. All the games were shown on 16:9 widescreen monitors. Does this mean that Batlefield 2142 will support widescreen? Nope. EA has no plans on including widescreen support on any of the Battlefield titles. BF 2142 was stretched and looked awful.

I asked a few Dice/EA people about this and they said that they didn't want to give people with widescreen monitors an advantage because they could see more than people with regular monitors.

So the flying troop cylinder pods, does the user control them in mid-flight or are they laser sighted or the like?
Is there a view out of them when you're inside? Anyone seen any footage of that? Man those look cool.

www.BF2s.com has an additional in-game video, it looks like the graphic settings were set to low/medium so it doesn't look that hot, and there's a write up with their opinions on the unoptomized alpha version they played.

SWEET! So if this comes out in January of 2007 in September of 2007 it will be possible to play a somewhat well balanced game and around Janurary 2008 they will finally fix some nagging bugs present since Beta.

I laugh at people that bought the expansions for this game and will give EA/DICE more of thier money, never again will I buy anything with Battlefield in the name no matter how much hype there is online

It looks good. I'm sure I'll be buying this, QW:ET and Gears of War when they come out this year. I'm enough of an addict to the online FPS genre that all of them will be getting my cash.

However, I do hope that we get more than conquest and this new Titan mode of gamelplay. A little CTF would be nice. But in the Community update they mention Co-op for the single player campaign, so at least one of my wishes was granted.

Parts of this movie reminded me of Tribes - not in a bad way. The bit where the rocket pods(?) were launching troopers up to the floating ship - reminded me of a lot of Broadside battles for some reason. Plus, I've been wanting to do infantry/mech combat since Tribes used to be big - I used to hope that the sequels to Tribes would pull in some of the HERCs from the Starsiege timeline. Very interested to see how it plays out in BF2142.

Bugs/no-bugs, whatever. I'd love it if they'd include a more robust bot system so I can play larger maps co-op or SP, but still I'll be throwing EA some more of my money when this puppy comes out.

This is the B-Roll fotage of the Trailer that was released already, no music in the background.

There was some additional in-game video shown on the gamespot e3 interview with the guy from DICE, showed the soldier customization screen briefly.

I'm sure looking forward to it this fall, ET might not beat it to release, the devs for ET said "hopefully before the end of the year"

I want to get beind one of those Battle Walkers and step on people.
