Great game ... if one survives the installation: /

Ahoy
I am Battlefield players are 1942 (ie the part of the so called: P), had all the parts and have these played very often.
Also most of the competition as Batman, quake, etc etqw already herumgegeistert on my hard drives.

Battlefield 2142 was something new and to this day, both in game design as well as during the game to keep its place as a great feature.
Man fighting in the (relatively) future, in the usual Battlefield manner to "capture the flag" -mässig organized missile launchers.
Either classic capture the flag to Tikets or in Titan mode to its own floating carrier.
The classic is explained well by itself ... take as many flags a and the more flags are taken, the more Tikets gets deducted the opponents.

The Titan mode is slightly more complicated.
Here you have a heavy troop transports in the style of, ca 80m, hovering above the ground more or less aircraft carrier-like airship.
The aim is to take many missile launchers at the beginning and so pieces off the sign of the enemy airship with each hit piece.
After a while, you can then board the enemy Titan, penetrating and off by controlled demolitions.
As are relatively close within the Titans hostile forces against, there are often violent defense or attack situations.

In addition, there hovertank, 2 persons combat robots and antigravity helicopter ... (although it yes then no helicopter or? ... It does not matter) ... so the aircraft such as helicopters look up without rotors.
And various normal, something visually jazzed weapons.

So far so good ... thinking of the inclined players.
However, that game is of DICE, which are adjacent to the Battlefield series itself is also known for its locally violent bugs, as well as its own indifference.
Appear the first week after was at times unplayable (ie not at all) because EA master server down or were AccountServer or game server or Punkbuster server or whatever.
Then the patches came.
And so the great installation disaster.
One must, in some versions, install the patches to date in a particular sequence.
1.20 about 1:40 on the add on Northern Strike, then everything previously already happened to the add on also to patch and then pre 1.5, to install 1.5 and 1:51.
An almost incomprehensible task, me is still not clear what is DICE has meant just that ... or at all.
Completely moronic work for someone who just wants to have some fun.

Cheater overran the game, so that after a short period of veritable "glitch" championships, to little more serious statistics everything was there.
Nurnoch really even Administered Server were somehow sure to nearly all other stand somewhere always an automatic firing device in a container or stone, a soldier lay in textures or inaccessible buildings or anything else.
That has with declining player numbers now largely set, although there are still plenty of servers.

Then the last patch.
1:51
All had waited and waited and waited ... and fell asleep, died, other games have started or the Milky Way populated.
Then after years (no joke) actually the good news on, now, more or less well-visited pages.
He's coming after all. A sad patch because you had to re-establish the DICE anything quite well but can not do anything right.
Had you installed the patch had to be in 2142 either reinstall or got strange error messages.

But what EA without current, new self-imposed moronic problems.
EA has its modern platforms such as Origin.
Previously Origin was once the EA Download Manager, EA Link or EA frills paperlapapp.
Data were partly adopted or partly maybe not, only the stupid purchased online games were also partly not accepted.
So it may be that you bought a game for example, 2010 Online, this but on Origin can not download again.
Or that you have bought, as Hardcopie game just can not register online because Origin only games which have been published after 2009 (thus not 2142) support.
The only way out of this mess via the telephone or online support.
There we learn that it would go on ... you'd have to account only (sometimes) pictures and games packaging and related DVDs and send via e-mail and support.
Because of the support can "digitize" the old games ... wow.
Since you already wondering what all this is supposed to oO

In short.
Very more fun shooter which unfortunately only now really worth it, because at least less join cheater.
Very strenuous installation which advance ensures that you simply anwirft something else.
Great game.
Schade Chocolate Dice.
