I've been enjoying BF2142 for the last while. Lots of servers, no bunny-jumping, low ping... fresh meat.
Anyone else play?
I almost didn't buy it because of the spyware rumor. I never saw a paper when I opened the box that others \"claimed\" they got and I hear that the windows patch disables whatever programs like that, that it installs. I haven't seen any problem so far. Good game.
Yeah, these newer games are hard on PC's. Especially over the network.
Quake 4 was unplayable over the network on my old PC but worked just fine in single player. Never saw a problem and it ran smoother than most of my other games at the time. Then I get a newer PC and Q4 runs fine over the network.
Battlefield 2 and 2142 are not intercompatible, so no it doesn't really count.
I sometimes play BF2142, but haven't for a while. Oh, and you don't want to play on NZ servers. Not because they're bad, just because you'll get owned with the latency.
