Does anyone else here not think that the first expansion is going to deffinitely have the USMC? I mean come on, the most powerful country in the world is not going to sit idly by while its northern half is frozen over and hundreds of millions are pushed south.

I know it's early but it's likely the only reason not to have the Marines running around now.

I think the Americas expansion (because of its obvious locale) is likely going to pit US/Canadian forces (what's left of the canadians after the enitre country is buried under a mile of snow) against everyone from Columbia, Cuba, and venezuela to maybe even Mexico.

What do you guys think?

Even "the day after tomorrow", which is probably the worst case senario, said the snow would stop at least at the mason-dixon line. documentaries state that the old ice ages stopped at about New York. But the US as a whole wouldn't be covered. Canada on the other hand is doomed no matter who you talk to.

Roger Smith

expansions, bah. from what i hear, there wont be a need to expand 2142 because the gameplay will be on point. sf was a great stand alone game but it wasnt an expansion. bfvietnam was a great game and needed no expansions.

EU includes the America's or whats left of it... im thinking IF there is an expansion it would be the 2142 version of the MEC... the middle east doesnt directly suffer much from the ice age... Assuming it hasnt joined the PAC already...

Im liking the scenario you put though how the US is pushing southwards... but yeah

Umm ya that makes sense...

Canada is the people.

They both survive not one or the other.

I also think the North American countrys would be civilised enough to discuss who gets what only livable area. In other words if the situation were reversed I'm sure Canada would be generous enough to give some of it's territory ;).

I think that the EU includes the USA Also i dont think that cuba, colombia etc will have tanks, jet copters, titans In the future.

Just goes to show how near sighted you are :).

Less than a hundred years ago if you were to mention that people would be travelling in huge commercial airplanes people would think you were nuts.

Sorry to say but if 2142 continues the vague story of BF2 the US would be long dead or something of a third world country. Theres no way it could survive an attack against PLA and a whole united MEC (also possibly Russia, including the also vague story of Special Forces expansion pack).

A United MEC? Do you live in the same world I do? Middle East is probably the most divided region in the entire world.

It all happened way back when the "Great Powers" (US, England, France) decided to put entirely different and conflicting ethnic groups together after the end of WWI and the Ottoman Empire.

They did the same thing in the Balkans and, well... we know what happened there.

REALLY?! The Middle East is the most divided region?[/sarcasm]

Dude I was saying IF it continued the story of BF2... And guess what, in BF2 there is a MEC, which stands for Middle Eastern Coalition, meaning practically every country in the Middle East United.

God knows what future the U.S. has at the moment but one things for certain if it did suddenly go to war with China, and a magical united Middle East, they would lose.

Canada's a country :P Buried in lots snow its dead. Besides... Canada can fit a bunch of people into the Territories/UP UP North... U.S cant just go to mexico... they dont like it. And BF2 has a story?

MEC is the ONLY option left... Assuming Russia,China,Korea,Japan and India make up the PAC... And US and Europe make up the EU... theres only MEC... Unless you do like South Americans which would be lame..

Doesn't matter what territory they like, they would need it to survive. Canada, U.S., Mexico and other countrys could divide the livable territory up equally. And there would be plenty of space - you can fit the current world population in Texas and have a smaller population density rate then New York city.

Yes, a very vague one as I mentioned earlier.

Yeah because having half the country frozen over and only refuge controlled by people who dislike them(some not all).. doesnt factor in at all.

America: Let us in your house its cold
Mid/South America: NO
America: Okay lets nuke them knowing we'd get half assed if they retaliate

End game: Both of them are bloody bruised and no where to live.

08-28-2006, 08:29 AM
A good 1 would be the Northern Conflict or the canadians and such who had to abandan ther land to the americas and EU didnt want to give it up(southern americas and such..)So it would be NC vs. EU fighting for northern and southern america. NOW u got an expansion.P.S. It could be for the russions to fightin wit teh PAC for the rest of Asia so NC vs. PAC also!!!Aha Im great!

zinith
08-28-2006, 09:53 AM
My guess is that if they bring any new factions in it will most likely be something to do with Africa, in one of the interviews a guys said that the EU and PAC are fighting over land in Africa. My guess is you'll have some kind of African coalition (howerver ridiculas it sounds) other than that i cant see many options.

America isn't there becuase they would own the world to fast and it won't be balanced. The realistic future shows Africa's population somewhere near zero with the rest dying of aids. The real PLA (China) would never unite with anyone they would invade and make them there's. The EU skins and voices don't match up w/ there nationality.

We don't need to add the USMC there already in most games, there needs to be the American Army as a whole, They can make there own aliance as i stated before. The United Allied Nations (UAN) made up of the USA, Canada, Greenland and Iceland, all Caribbean islands including Cuba. Castro will be dead by then and a pro-american govt put in place. America could have hover jeeps and APC's.

There's obviously no African Coalition. In 2142 the EU already occupy Africa.

Also how do the skins not match their nationality... thats THE most stupidest thing I've ever heard.

Also Greenland, Iceland AND Canada are frozen over by then... But I dont see why there isn't a war or some kinda push to South America... kinda stupid to have America and the European countries all going Africa, South America's huge too.

The next expansion could include a South American campaign...

you're wrong mate:

"By early 2138, the world's six factions were heavily fortified, ready to battle over the world's remaining land and resources. Expecting an invasion by the PAC into the agriculture-rich plains of Northern Africa, the European Federation concentrated its resources along the Mediterranean, ready to assist the Union of African States. A foray by two PAC battalions into Egypt seemed to confirm their suspicions, but the attacks were merely decoys, meant to distract the world from the PAC's primary objective, to destroy the military might of the EU's premiere units still located in Europe."

from battlefield2142.ea.com

So we have six world factions:

- EU, having lost Europe and trying to defend northern africa;
- PAC, having defeated EU in Europe and trying to conquer Africa;
- UAS trying to defend their homeland against PAC and maybe against EU;

the other 3 in my opinion are:

- USA + Canada, trying to conquer southern america;
- China + Jap, trying to conquer southern america and destroy USA;
- Southern American guys trying not to get a*s f****d;

Australia will be gone, and Oceania is never going to own an army. Nukes ain't gonna be used: everyone needs land and resources, why destroy them?

edit: why do you say EU is Europe and US? EU is European Union, EU+US would be North Atlantic Union or so.

I think PAC is old Soviet Union (Russia and other ex-soviet states), 'cause PAC general's name sound russian (General Yuri Vladomirovic...). China and Jap should try to conquer Southern america, the only land capable to host their enormous population, so they will fight US. Australia would be large enough as well, but ice is going to spread from south too, isn't it?

CrysisPwnz
08-28-2006, 08:58 PM
I noticed that it said 6 factiosn too and the generals were russian sounding... but it makes sense cuz russia would be the PAC and I figured the 6 factions combined into the EU and PAC...

And yes it is... but apparently doesnt go up from mid africa so all of north africa and north south america (lol) is sanctuary.

Well, 140 years in the future after most of the US has been covered in Ice, destroying its ability to produce weapons and machines of war, while South America has a moderate climate and has over a hundred years to grow economically and militarily, I'm sure nothing will have changed and we'll hav ea real easy time going agianst their full-sized armies with our twenty men with a half-frozen stock of M16s :P

ArmadonRK
08-28-2006, 11:31 PM
Evacuate, yes, but think of the factories, and the raw materials that would be lost. Producing weapons is going to be tough after a mass evacuation, and during an ice age. Especially if South America is not suffering from such problems, and has a standing military force to fend off American forces.

just to clarify some stuff China, japan and other various eastern asian countries are NOT involved in the PAC, Its been said numerous times in various interviews, in one of the E3 videos a dev hinted that maybe the more eastern asian nations would be included in an expansion pack.

As for the US, I believe it has been said that they are apart of the EU, or something. Go look it up on one of the oter expansion threads, people were giving some good explenations on what could/would/should happen in 2142.....

What do you think the word "pan" in Pan-Asian army means. Pan ios Latin for ALL, Middle east is Asia's team as well. I think it's more likely the southern half of the continents will strike, Africa and Australia will be tired of being invaded by the southern push and drive us noobs back north.



then come the aliens, oh Xenu the aliens.

Maybe fight for some of the thawed American cities whcih are nice and warm thanks to what's known as "Al Gore's Revenge" a device used to cause Global warming by Al Gore so people would stop laughing at him.

In 2142 for all we know Africa could all be united and be the worlds super power. South America could all be united and could give the US more then just a run for their money.

IT IS 2142. ONE WHOLE FREAKING CENTURY IN THE FUTURE.

Jesus 100-200 years ago saying the U.S was a world super power was unheard of. Can't anyone here accept the possibility that everything could be jumbled around? 136 years from now anything could happen in terms of which countrys are third world, and which are a super power.

Stryker
08-29-2006, 02:23 AM
If the game is gonna be interesting then the Ice age is going to have to be bigger then that map shown a few posts above.

Isn't most of American factories in the South, and India ? Plus this the future so Oil free tanks and cars. Africa is soooo poor not even in 400 years will they not have enough to defend themselfs not even if Egypt tried there hardest. Desert Countries need food imports there not getting anymore, so living in a desert place isn't a positive thing; unless you like to eat lizards ? According to te map above Europe hasn't been that effected from the ice age that much, the ice doesn't even cover london, only northern UK.

With the way BF2142 looks the map should be more like this. A real fight for your life kinda war.

I like the effort lol...

So if China, Korea and Vietnam etc. Arent with the PAC that its most likely they are the next faction, or the new MEC to continue the BF2 fad. China could probably produce huge transforming robots to kill us all!

We already know not ALL of asia is allied with the PAC... so there. And besides, if Africa does have power, than its most likely allied with the EU already, the way the EU fought at Europe already tells us they cant really fight, and to have a war on two fronts say against the PAC and Africans is complete suicide.

Im guessing right when the ice age started America's first priority was to descretly secure a spot in South America. Maybe a SF esque expansion pack in area's of South America where they could doo stuff...

Im guesing itl be just a weapon/vehicle/map pack or a special forces kinda pack... which are similar except special forces would have special forces teams. I saythat because EA/Dice tried to oppisitize the factions making PAC, faster but weaker and making EU slower but stronger, you know? So adding a new faction would be wierd...

But they were like, "So and So is not yet involved in the conflict".


Pretty sure it was China they said wasn't involved yet.

With the main topic in mind:

I enjoy these discussions a great deal, but at the end of the day I think they haven't ever said USA just rolled over and died, nobody said that in any of their stories... they just simply haven't included them because they've been the good guys in most of these games, and too right most FPS development companies are US ones, Dice is a sweedish company iirc and therefore reserve the right to spice things up a bit by for once not having the USA as the main guys, which i think is a refreshing change :)

I think we can find one answer in particular inside the two factions already presented to us. As it currently stands Russia is nowhere near the power house it once was, for it to have become the leader of the most technilogical faction in Dice's vision of the future is something that nobody would predict in the world we live in today, this alone suggests that Dice have come up with their very own idea for the future that defies us using real world logic and prediction to answer questions about other nations. A future set game truely allows them to say it is the way it is because they say it is so and i enjoy that.

Yeah so i think i've confused myself as well as others by now but meh, thats my 2 pence... and then some heh :p

CrysisPwnz
08-29-2006, 07:44 AM
Im guessing itlll be PAC, EU and China (and whoever) will be the main factions. Then like with SF they'll add America, South Americans, Africans... but not actually (cuz you know how they had spetznas but not actual russia, and SAS but not britain)

BF2142's greatest appeal is that it doesn't have lasers and aliens, its a unique vision of the future that isn't filled with light sabres and phasors... don't get me wrong i'm the biggest sci-fi watcher you'll find but i just find this a greatly refreshing change.

:D

id like to have aliens really, it would be cool

I would love to see Giant Elmos running around the battlefield with rocket launchers and MM9955's (Future M95) and TKing each other, then taunting each other "Elmo Knows where you live"

There is already enough futuristic crap games with aliens in them. They may not even exist in the real world yet they plague our games.. Damn them -shakes fist at aliens-

Cheers :confused:

I find it more realistic too.

Anyone see War of the Worlds? WOW awesome movie ending was crap, humans cant destroy the aliens so the aliens "forget" that they cant bloody breathe in out atmosphere. Don't you think that a race so inteligent in the technology ladder won't know they can't breathe here? i mean C'MON!

Actually it was the evolution of bactiera that killed them, they hadn't accounted for its effects on their biology. That was written a in 1898 if i recall correctly when the people reading it weren't the critics we are today, we expect much more these days in our fast paced world of entertainment.

Does anyone else here not think that the first expansion is going to deffinitely have the USMC? I mean come on, the most powerful country in the world is not going to sit idly by while its northern half is frozen over and hundreds of millions are pushed south.

I know it's early but it's likely the only reason not to have the Marines running around now.

I think the Americas expansion (because of its obvious locale) is likely going to pit US/Canadian forces (what's left of the canadians after the enitre country is buried under a mile of snow) against everyone from Columbia, Cuba, and venezuela to maybe even Mexico.

What do you guys think?

Actually I would prefer a return to BFV mapwise with China/Japan/whoever fighting over jungle terrain. It seems like all the maps in BF2142 cover grasslands and deserts. Give me some jungles to play in.;)
