BF2 Or BF2142

[falconrye]

If I want to just begin playing the Battlefield franchises, Which one should I pick.

Maybe list some benefits.
I am leaning towards 2142 because it's newer but I really don't know.

GONNA KEEP WAITING THEN!

Well I don't play but I tryed B2142 in a demo and it was ok, I also tryed a demo of BF2 and liked that better.

Made me think of COD4 with big maps and vehicles.

I'm not a fan of vehicle combat and large games like this.

In my experience people spread out too much, vehicles are fought over and usually a pain in the arse to use well, and too much running after you die.

I like small maps where I can get in your face, so COD 4 and RB6-v2 are my cup of tee.

You might try Frontlines or QuakeWars for your ticket since those are the most recent.
I hear QW is the better of them though.
OR BF Bad company that comes this month

I'm getting Gold Edition BF: BC.
Already have R6V2. Beat it on realistic and got Warrant Officer like first 2 weeks.
Soo many people play the Battlefield games, i just think that there has to be something to them that makes them good.
I hear QuakeWars is very similar to other FPS, and adds nothing new.
Also has low player base.

I loved BF 1942 and was even in a clan and got into some clan ladder match games.

Vietnam and 2 were /meh for me. I like the WW2 style/pace better. 2142 is pretty good, but I suspect that whichever one you play first will be your favorite. Play whichever one appeals to you visually, and make sure there are plenty of servers to join. 2142 is the newest, so it probably has the most. The gameplay is pretty much the same in all of them.

Thanks a bunch Winin.

2142 is pretty good. I liked 2 but after 2142 came out most people went to that.

I used to play 2142 but stopped for awhile. I just recently reinstalled but me and my RL friend used to be able to literally go into a server and change the tide of the battle for our team. Me and him would squad up and could just own anyone. We started playing on and off and if you still play you can add me to your F list and join me if we are ever on at the same time and we can squad up and own .

Bf BC is alot of fun from what i have seen when my son plays it. He dropped it like a hot potato when he found out that the clan support and match making was really broken and was not addressed 1 month past launch.

I've been feeling the star wars itch lately. I'm toying with the idea of reinstalling Star Wars Battlefront. I remember it was a very fun SW version of Battlefield.

Battlefront I and II were fun....I played the hell out of them with my son on the Xbox. II is better than I in all regards except for one thing: the Splitscreen. IMHO, split screen games should either A) have selectable which way you want to split (Horiz vs vert), or B) default to Vertical split when displayed widescreen. Having a horizontal split on a widescreen is terrible. That single feature makes us always resort to playing 1 instead of 2 when we want to play together.

Never played SW:BF1, but I loved 2 on the xbox.

And they just added Conquest mode for free for BF:BC! That game is excellent

[Winin]

I never tried them on Xbox. Do they run on the 360? I have the PC version of 1. Maybe it is worth tracking down a used copy of 2 for the big screen.

[Aberrant]

Yes, 2 is backwards compatible.

I haven't played in awhile, but the list of original Xbox games still played over Live has it pretty high. Like number 2 after Halo 2, so a decent number of people should still be playing.
