Bit-Tech BF2142 Review

[[MyIS]Spawndemon]

We have another new review for you all today, this time from Bit-Tech (http://www.bit-tech.net/). They gave the game an 8/10. Take a look:

By reducing the classes it is now up to you how you will mould your characters. If you chose to spend your upgrade on unlocking the defibrillator (the resuscitator) or whether you choose a different path and unlock the extra ammo sets for the supply class are just two of the many options available to you. The choice is entirely yours, and there are no limitations placed on which update paths you choose. The idea allows players to cater their in-game progress to their own particular playing style. It works brilliantly and makes for an addictive gameplay experience (more about that later).

I Like this part:

Conclusion
One area that I have ignored is the controversy surrounding in-game advertising. A lot has been said about the spyware included with the game and I've decided to ignore it. Honestly, I didn't suffer any problems with the spyware, I didn't really notice any advertising and any criticism I made would be not from my practical experience but my ethical standpoint.

However, one issue I need to devote a paragraph to is the technical problems surrounding BF2142. On more than one occasion when reviewing the game the servers went completely offline, on top of that many of the people I spoke to complained that they lost their stats and unlocks due to server problems. I was hugely disappointed with the state of the game on release and it disgusts me that developers are being forced by publishers to release games when they are blatantly not ready. The problems are now beginning to subside but many gamers patience has been worn thin by the condition of the game upon release.

im glad someone else sees this besides just us server owners and makes a real public statement on a quite popular, respected computing site. All we need is more reviews like this and MAYBE someone over at EA/DICE will listen.
