EA has confirmed the release of an open beta of BF2142 this August. Has EA finally learned form the huge mistakes and bad decisions made with Battlefield 2? It’s openly called the buggiest game released, and EA hasn’t really bothered listening to the community for feedback. The numerous patches that have been released usually made more bugs than they fixed.
To release an open beta will certainly make things better for EA and swedish developer DICE. Bugs would be spotted early, and hopefully fixed. Since BF2142 uses the same engine and the same disastrous net code as Battlefield 2, with the lessons learned, it should definitely be a more stable game overall. If EA doesn’t manage to screw it up before launch.

4Just to say… DICE spent a long time working on new features and gameplay updates on every patch released depending on feedback given by the BF2 community. Also it is not EA that are responsible for the patches; they simply publish the game. (although I heard they’re buying out DICE X-D)

7hey if this is gona have as good gameplay as bf2 ill definately be buying it. yes i get pissed off when i get a random crash to desktop, list of servers freezes for a few minutes, etc etc. but i put up with all that shit because the game itself is bloody awesome. and if they fix ctd and the rest of it - sweet. if they dont, oh well, few more keyboards that ill smash up when the game crashes, but ill still play it.

8For some reason I always thought Battle Field was initially a console game, and then slowly it’s turned into a PC game… (or is it the other way around?) Secondly, where can I sign up to be a beta-tester for games like this. I am truely addicted to gaming… especially Online Multiplayer Gaming and it’d be nice to have some of my input in creating an award-winning game.

“Peow-peow Lasers shall pass through enemies without causing damage…(just like AT)”,
“In-Game browser will not show correct map/player details of the many UN-POPULATED servers…”
“BF2142 has been created to encompass the gameplay and style of previous shooter games, most noteably: COUNTERSTRIKE, and EA hopes that the lack of skill required to play BF2142 will mean less patch releases in the future…”

10“stick” is actually a clueless tool - lack of skill compared to CS:S? Sorry?
He must be at least mildly retarded.

11Stick, you clearly fail at making an argument and have obviously had a bad experience with bf2/1942, most probably related to your spastic nature.
Unlucky.

12This article really slates BF2.
The game has had lots of patches, fair enough, its not THAT bad. I’ve played it enough and had great fun. The occasional tv guided missle that fails to shoot when I fire just makes it even more hectic in a tense chopper fight.
Good Job EA
Oh yeah Stick u r a plum

13After 1300 hours of bf2 gameplay, I can confirm that yes it is the buggiest game I’ve ever played in my entire life… from 2 years old.
You’ll learn one day EA/Dice(Sweden/Canada)/Stick.

14All You Guys Have Problems With Bugs. Dont Forget Not Everyone Has Got A Dell Or Any Other Pc Company.. There Must Be Millions On Combinations Of Machine Specs.
I Spose They Cant Check It Out On Every Single Machine Before Shipping. I Just Wouldnt Work. I Believe If The Game Had No Bugs And Needed No Patches It Would Be A Bad Game. So Stop The Bickering .. Dice/Ea Great Job. Downloading Battlefield 2142 Open Beta :):)
Thanks
