Just got the game! Help/Hints

Rhine · #1 (**permalink**) 09-03-2007, 12:54 AM

So I went out and got this game. Of course I'm always a little hesitant when buying EA games because of a bad reputation of support and stuff.

I got the game installed and no problem, but it seems that I need to update. The EA websites bandwidth is abysmal and download that should take me 25 minutes would take me 4 hours. It seems that craig didn't reupload the update since the new website (Don't worry you dont need to I'm using fileshack atm)

What do I input for clan tag? Or am I not allowed to as seeing as you guys seem to be more competitive then every other division.

Anything I should worry about as far as migrating from CSS -> BF2142?

What to worry about? Hmm how about it takes a crazy amount of shots to kill someone. Random network problems. Stupid idiots. All in all though it's fun when you get some people that know what they are doing and work together. Have fun!!!

More than anything I'd say get used to squad play...even though you will be a n00b at first, try to get in squads with people who are cool showing you the ropes. There's not much as fun as a solid couple of hours with the same blokes in BF2142

hey Rine, well most of us play on the clan war servers most of the time
(well mabey not noobsFor ..)lol.
when you sign in theres a place at top for clan tags you can send friends request in game then just join a server off them.

Why Did You Buy This Fail Of A Game?

Because it was only 30 dollars, and it has mechs. FOOKING MECHS!

2142 is a ton o fun,we wear the sR.:. Tag. So put your tag on and join us your best bet is to add people to your buddy list so you can find them when they are on. add me if you want "K_Dog" Once you rank up a bit and get some unlocks the game gets to be a lot more fun

How do I get rid of the annoying punkbuster kicks?

Get the pbsetup from Even Balance's site and update your PB manually.

The mechs are great but they require a lot of skill to use. They make you think you're invincible but it only takes 1 well placed shot to bring one down. You gotta know how to take cover, be aware of your surroundings and be ready to put your shields up at all times.

Clan wars is intermediate to pro players. Joining there as a noob is instant frustration and hate.

Just start hopping on some pubs and we'll join you and tear it up.

Yep, got it to work reading one of the threads I searched for on here. So far I'm best with the rocketl auncher *who isnt*. I'm liking the Titan mode, reminds me alot of bf1942 which I loved.
