And from Heaven the lyres of the Angels fell silent, from its deepest Sanctuary, the Empyrean Rose shead its petals. The Thrones stopped their movement as the Heart of Creation fell still as well.

Yeah - maybe not as bad, but still bad enough...

Thanks EA for continuing your Borg-ish Assimilation routines!
We are EA - resistance is futile - your studio and employies will be assimilated...

Bah!

Man all I hear is how people couldn't give a crap about 2142 and how lots have already left BF2 behind. Their swallowing up DICE, was more than obvious to me. To me it's, Who cares?

XXXX: Which is beside the point.

The point is, rather, EA. Ergo - their aweful tendency to swallow up anything they touch.

It was a fair while since I cared about Dice in another sense that they are a very successful Swedish game developer - which is about the only pride I can pretend to give to anything arguably Swedish.

Thus the only reason I'll try 2142 is because of mechs - those wonderous walking mechanical battle gods... mmmm glorious...

But I doubt it will save a re-textured version of BF2...

Mechs?.. pfff. Who cares?.. DICE? Games made? Who cares...Again, pretty bloody obvious EA would buy em out.

the mechs in 2142 are sad.. they have chain drivn mini guys or w/e
dont you think they have somthing a little bit better on mechs in 2142?

they needed to copy mechwarrior or somthing.

Quake Wars, yeah that might run decent on my box. Better to me than 2142...I already bought that BF2 junk a while back, not gonna make another mistake...The best was 1942 and they should have stopped after that instead of these skin jobs and incremental lag.
