Heroes is good fun, but definitely missing either a squad system with some way of convincing other chaps to accompany you to the next point, or equivalent.
I don’t count Bad Company as another BF, because it’s rather different. It’s nice that it has a single player, but still (bearing in mind I’ve only played the multiplayer, and it was ages ago at that) the multiplayer seems very… console-y compared to the PC versions of BF. Probably understandably. Also have heard rumour of a BF3, but I can’t source anything and so shall feel silly.
Finally, regarding the chap at the top who said he could get BF2 + all expansions for about 25$, it’s actually under £6 at a British supermarket website these days, if people feel like playing some before September and have lost/forgotten their account details (damn my memory). =) Damn good price for a great (opinion) game.

The BF2 one is out in beta form and apparently quite good.

Looks like new patches for both bf2 and 2142 are coming soon with a new map, heh they going to screw up the game just before the sequel comes out so its unplayable and you need a new game?

Titan mode was fun. But maps with no sense of existing as anything other than varying degrees of natural barriers and an upgrade system which even interfered with vehicle to vehicle combat.

Once you have the upgrades you feel like a king though. But before the newbies had fun toys too. Seemed like an anti second hand trade trick, something now with non refundable key’s being more standard shouldn’t crop up again.

DMJ, I’ve with you on liking BF2142. It was the first Battlefield game I ever really played for real, as I had only played the demo for Battlefield 2 and the demo for Battlefield 2142. Titan Mode was exhilarating, definitely one of my favourite game modes of all time.

Am I one of the few who actually liked BF2142? Titan mode was a genuinely interesting game type.

Oh, and: They are simplifying BF1942? It had less features than BF2! How much more simplified does it get before we come full circle and get back to Quake Deathmatch? Or “press this button and the game will play itself”.

Devolution of gaming, proof #345787

I’d buy a fully priced Bf1942 or Bf2 remake. This time with a good engine, the squad system without the commander superpower bullshit, and huge maps.

Good games don’t need that achievement crap to keep people playing..

why is bad company not a proper bf? I would class the next proper bf as one that is a full game on a disc which isnt free to play (heroes) or that costs $15 and has 3 maps (1943)

So then what is the “next proper BF?” Because right now there’s BF: Heroes, BF:1943, and BF: Bad Company 2. There’s 3 upcoming games that carry the name, and 0 games that are “real” Battlefield games. So maybe people aren’t going to be too thrilled with the situation at hand.
