I do miss playing with Fidy, snow and verdant It's erm.... Very different from Planetside.. I'd say ~75% of the time I don't see the person that killed me... I don't know if I really like it, but it's fun playing with those guys. Plus you can suicide a fully loaded flying troop transport in like NO time... IT's awesome.

I've played the demo a bit, kind of fun, some bugs and lag issues, but let me know what servers you guys are on.

I don't know why you guys were looking for PS in a Battlefield game. It's a slower pacing but the action is more constant, and it's scope isn't an entire global conflict but just a skirmish. You have to know how to manage the map by controlling the points, and this entails combating, majority wise, vehicles. You can't jump out and fire, straffe, fire, either. And if you play 2dementionally, then you will just get out maneuvered in-game.
But I really like the graphics and atmosphere; they mix very well with the gameplay and concept. No, it's not perfect, but then again, I think we've all seen that PS didn't have to be perfect for it to be fun with the right kind of people.

Oh it's a completely different game Jban, for sure. Even with persistent character stats, they're still 15-minute skirmishes at best, and even though a good portion of the action is cinematic, it can get fairly 2-dimensional, unless you start playing in clan matches. PS will always be PS.

i played the bf2142 beta and that sucked pretty badly. There was serious lag issues and the infantry weapons were horribly inaccurate, which might have been because of the lag. any word on if any of that was fixed?

they are still pretty inaccurate.. cept the support gun which is very overpowered (you can kill snipers with it if you burst right..)

I didn't find the engineer gun to be inaccurate; it's just designed for close range. The assault gun has better accuracy, due to it being more of a rifle. I'm not sure about if you're expecting the bullets to go exactly where ever you fire?
If you join a green sever Bhop, it runs fine.
In terms of the [beta] being buggy... it was a beta? Again, I am not sure how to view this aspect. After playing Planetside for 3 years+ since its beta, I am immune to being frustrated with common game bugs, even Battlefield. PS was just one big torture of the senses, and now everything else, in every other game, just doesn't even come close to the PS I still play, in terms of unfixed bugs/problems.

I downloaded it and played it for like 5 minutes. My computer just isn't good enough to run these things smoothly, also I've never been too big of a fan of the battlefield series.
