oh yes, the only game that actually kept my interest after Mech4 started to die off.  Planetside was excellent, but after a while it got annoying that they started issuing "special" weapons to people who had been playing for longer.  Especially the Uber sniper rifle.  Once you had that and got used to it there was no point in using any other gun.

The Demo is out soon so you can see but watching interviews and videos multiplayer looks really good.

With thr comments though on tanks etc. Take a tank give it two legs and walking around, its a very differetn mechanic to it and shooting plasma crap and all that is always fun :)

Playing the demo, the titan and titan mode gives a lot to the game but im not sure about the weapons, dam hard to control, need to get used to it i guess. You need a beast of a pc i think though, I just get by with it, but the demo is ment to be very ropey so you cant really tell.

Dont think I will get it right the way and let it mature a bit

I was about to download the demo, then I read the reason why DICE dont support widescreen displays.  Apparently they are too much of an advantage over normal 4:3 displays.

lol thats just stupid... if your going to get that serious over other people having an advantage you should go out and buy one :P

odd, i did not have to do anything on this demo to have it run widescreen and it does fine for me, odd.
But yeah battlefield 2 i hate it for that, its daft not to

The developers often say that they dont provide proper widescreen aspects because they consider them an unfair advantage. Heres just one example:

http://www.shacknews.com/extras/2006/090506_bf2142_2.x

Quote from: ShacknewsShack: Are you going to have widescreen support in 2142?

Kristoffer Bergqvist: Were not going to give widescreen users a higher [field of view], because that would be unfair for the other people without widescreen monitors, so the FOV will be the same.

Shack: But youll at least have native support for the aspect ratio?

Kristoffer Bergqvist: Yes.

Hahaha, another reason to avoid 2142.  It has built in spyware :D
