BF 2142 - WTF?

Had to share this, since this little 'preview' looks like it was written by someone that has no clue. To me, it's like he's reviewing the next 'Sims' game or something. Simple network game? "If there is any rocket science to this game at all, it is in customizing the look and feel of your own personal player" "'Strategy' for this game is something of a comforting illusion." "no more strategic depth than a raid on a campus dorm."

At least I HOPE he has no clue, or else this is gonna be worse than even _I_ thought it would be.

It certainly doesn't change my expectation that this game will suck ass.

Some of the points in this article really piss me off, but it goes into a lot more detail about the actual game mechanics of 2142. It's an interesting read.

One thing that comes to mind is Battlefield has finally been dumbed down to work with consoles. I almost feel like they are going after Halo with this one.....

Someone seems to have conveniently forgotten that BF42 shipped with three game play modes and BFV with two. The great thing about 2142 is that they are ignoring the calls for CTF and a supply lines style game mode and introducing this "Titan" mode which is essentially the BF42 Coral Sea map on roids.
