WORLDWIDE PACT: DONT BUY THE BP AND THEN WE GET IT FOR FREE IN A PATCH!


(sorry about the caps but it may get things across better)

[CarbonFire]

NO

not a chance. Not because I don't have the money....but because I don't want EA to have it.

[Elinombrable]

Yes probably i will buy...i dont know what anti EA people is doing on this forum about an EA game....

[Kalo]

Oh i see im not the only one who thought that.

[The_Eliminator]

Ok so i am going to buy it :p

[Iwantcable]

I won't buy because the first BP for 2142 failed miserably. Hopefully you guys know now that it takes EA more than just 2 tries to get something right.

Not to mention I'm already limited on the servers because of my internet, and there will be even less for the BP.

[CarbonFire]

Yes probably i will buy...i dont know what anti EA people is doing on this forum about an EA game....
I think most of us are here for Battlefield, not EA. The fact that the two are tied together is unfortunate, but no way around it. Its the fact that EA's business practices work in direct contradiction to a healthy thriving BF community, which I think everyone here would like to see.

Let me reiterate my stance. I WILL PAY FOR AN EXPANSION PACK THAT OFFERS SIGNIFICANT CONTENT AND KEEPS THE GAMES SEPERATE. This is a booster pack (as far as we all know at this point), which means the vehicles/maps that are contained within are going to have a maximum usefulness of about 2 weeks.

If they were to save this for maybe 2-3 more months, make even more content and then release it as a full expansion (like Special Forces), I doubt as many would have an issue with it. I certainly would probably buy it.

Yeah, SF ruled :cool:.

[Elinombrable]

Expansions divides even more the community because they are like 2 separated games. And 1 new game mode,3 new game maps, 10 new unlocks, new features....i think its a very good content for 10$....y

[angelofdeath3131]

hell no. It is a plot to get more money and take from us gamers. They get money from the ingame adds. I have seen us consumers receive nothing for letting adds into our systems

[Shada]

A plot? Hahaha.


Yeah, I'll probably be buying it. It'll only be, what, a fiver? So long as I get to use the 10 unlocks in the default game I'm willing to pay that.

[onehitah]

Well im damned if I do and Im damned if I don't. I like new content and I'm happy to pay the developers for their work.

I just don't like that it will separate the community.

You never bought Tiger Woods 2007 did you ;)

Buy it just to see the whole hearted shoddy work EA are really prepared for YOU to accept.

I'm not an EA hater as such, in that I dont like to see a good thing turn to $hit.

[imlikeawarbird]

Why so much hate? And the constant complaining about bugs and ea is getting a little tired.

Maybe I'm lucky but I haven't encountered any bugs. I experience no titan lag. No crash to desktop. No losing my connection to the master server...

I get equally good performance and enjoyment from playing it on my desktop and laptop with no problems.

Anyway I'll probably buy it. As this is a booster pack and not a full expansion pack I expect it will be reflected in the price.

Its a shame EA didn't do what the guys who produced F.E.A.R did and make the entire multilayer free. But after all its only money ...

[old sch00l]

so when did you start playing BF, how long have you been playing 2142?

I guess not long :rolleyes:

[TWRAM]

I won't be buying it. Not because it is $20 or $10 dollars, because that isn't all that much. I never bought the boosters in bf2 and hearing about how they only lasted a few weeks, what is teh point of buying them? I also don't want to have to download it, I'd prefer a hard copy. I did buy speical forces and didn't really play it that much. I was quite happy with just playing wake island. The extra bit of content may entice a lot of people, but I would wait until they tells us more before deciding.

[Dibbly]

EA/Dice have stated NO new content in patches to safeguard adding more problems, so new content will be in the form of Boosters and of course that will mean $£$$$£$£$£$$£$£$£$£$£$£$$$$£$£$£$£$£

I will get it im a 800hr BF2 vet and 2142 needs more content as they are not comparable so needs boosting forum full of post bemoaning 2142 after only 2/3 months and Quake wars is just around the corner HOOORAYYYYYYYYY :D

[Cann0n-Fodder]

I think they know free content is where it's at. I won't be buying a booster pack just because I know the majority of people won't buy it (because they prefer free content), and I want to play with the majority of people. Watch....a month after release, the booster pack servers will dwindle down fast and everyone will play play the free content.

[Essenshizer]

As long as it's not over $30, I'm buying it. I just hope servers can go between all the maps instead of switching .exe's.

[jnick]

Normally booster can - at least in BF2.

Expansions on the other hand . . .

[MachineMadness]

simply put yes

[simjay]

I said it once, and I'll say it again. If the BP is a success, and the majority of servers are running the new content, then yes I will.

I don't know why so many people complain about bugs and glitches. I find this game near perfect.

Also, apparently the BP will contain 10 new unlocks. Won't that give players who don't buy it a disadvantage?

Agreed with all of the above, except

Its a shame EA didn't do what the guys who produced F.E.A.R did and make the entire multilayer free. But after all its only money ...
2142 is a multiplayer game... if they gave the multiplayer away for free, they give the game away for free, heh heh, 'cause the single player sure isn't worth a crap. ;)

Anyway, I'm buying the expansion. I've never had all the "woe, no servers running the boosters" problem in BF2. Haven't played it since 2142 came out, but up until then, never had a problem finding populated booster servers (though I grant you, not all of them were ranked servers). I don't expect things will be much different with 2142.

[Elinombrable]

Dunno but i will buy the BP...i dont matter :p....nah its a joke...it will give to the players more play posibilities but of course they wont give supreme weapons better than all the other ones.

[Erhardt]

If the booster is as well balanced as the original game, I doubt it. Those who buy will have new toys, different toys, but not necessarily unbalancing toys.

Plus you can always just kill a guy with the new stuff and grab his kit.

[GunHappyBob]

90% of the people who say they won't buy it will!

not 90%, but more like 40-55% of them.

[DaDDeh]

No I wont be buying it, I bought both boosters for BF2 for them to last a few weeks and most people returned to BF2, Yes boosters can be added to normal game but when the game switches to the booster maps people without get kicked seen servers go down to 8 players (after being full) when a booster map was loaded.

The BF2 boosters died very quick and the same will happen with most booster pks.

Free content is what keeps the game alive look at CS, CSS still going why? free content, valve make there money on expantions, hifelife2 ep 1 now ep 2 due, they don't release new maps ect for CSS and charge (booster).

[kilroy357]

Absolutely. I have all of the unlocks and I want more. :guns:

Prejudice is still a stupid way of approaching anything. The EA hate really is some kind of weird discrimination. Don't knock it until you've tried it! (Or in this case at least been given more information)

As stated in other posts and by myself I am going on what happened with AF/EF boosters I bought them and found myself back on BF2 after only a few weeks of playing them as did many other people who bought them, booster servers died as did mixed servers that ran BF2 and boosters.

I never gave a reason as I did not think I needed to repeat myself because of the many other posts saying the same over and over again. :)

So I am not knocking anything and have tried it, I don't hate EA after all I have bought most of the BF releases todate, BF1942, BFV, BF2, SF,AF,EF and now BF2142.

New Maps?! New Mode?! 10 more unlocks?! Of course I'm buying it!

[CarbonFire]

$10 for 10 more unlocks?! Of course I'm buying it!

Fixed that for ya.
I love the idea of new maps and new modes too. But when put into the "booster pack" wrapper all you're really going to have in the long run is 10 unlocks (hence the above edit)

Or play the same 3 Conquest or the same 2 Titan maps over and over. With less people. On like 5 servers worldwide.

Happy Gaming! :p

we are here to play battlefield and have fun, then EA with its business strategy bs comes along and rapes it and releases sub standard content for money

[Natt]

I don't think I even played all the maps in the BF2 expack and EF booster.
I wouldn't even consider buying it if it wasn't for the extra unlocks in the stock game.
As it is, I will wait and see, there were ways to get the extra unlocks without buying in BF2, maybe someone will figure something out...

[LahLahSr]

I'll do what I always do - look at an in-depth review and decide.

The one thing I find attractive is a new game-mode. Anything that can put a dramatically new twist on gameplay (and a hover-jeep with guns wont do that, nor will a slow-moving armoured and bristling-with-weapons-behemth) will be welcome - if done properly.

Only a review will give me the answers I need before making a decision.

[vbl]

For me it mostly depends on the release date in relation to ET:QW.

[BFsamchoc]

yes i will

[Sneaky Assassin]

I sure will buy it, more maps especially titan ones

[SonicPixel]

Yes. The money I've paid for the game has been well worth it and I'm ready for some more, please!

A lot of you dudes are real cheapskates. Your ranting on how it will "fracture" the community has done more damage to the so-called "community" than this yet-to-be-released addition to the game. BTW - this "community" is a fabrication. Don't believe the lie. This is a game. The community is who you play with and since it is a multi-player game, the community shifts and changes daily.

Get out there and kick some glutious maximus and quit your whining. For all of you vengence-minded individuals, let's get it on. You can find me on BandOfBrothers server. That is my community...

[gamefoo]

No...

[Mr. ADHD]

I've said it I'd never buy it....before...and I'm not going to say it now....

Probably will buy it.

[RavenRealms]

Do you whiners actually think that this small Battlefield community can do EA any harm by not giving them your money?

Get real.

They are so huge, that you are all just a minority. They make a lot more money from other games than just this one.

Exactly. People are delusional about things like this. Look at all the games put out by EA on the various platforms. You think this booster is going to make or break them?

Why do all you EA haters plunk down $50 game, and then complain when they offer expansions for a little more?

If you don't like the content, or don't like the idea of boosters, then don't buy it. However, you should not refuse to buy to bring down the EA giant. That is silly and delusional.

People whine about a few bucks, when they must have an expensive and powerful PC just to play the original game...

Anyway, I'll probably buy. It looks like fun.

[Vreki]

If it is 10$ I will probably just buy it a soon as it is available
20$ means I will evaluate it before I buy it like I would with a new game

[Deesies]

Nope. I'd much rather they make an expansion of the likes of special forces.

Doesn't help that play.com lists the RRP as £20 and that the biggest selling point of the booster (unlocks) are going to be available to everyone through field upgrades anyway :P

[whitehunter]

the only reason i am going to buy the NS is for the unlocks after i get those its dead to me

[Rick Astley]

I'm gonna buy it. Just got 30 euros from selling my BF2! :D Since 2142 i haven't touched BF2

[Drevor]

Am I going to buy it?
At 10€ for a download code at my local store? Sure why not. (hell, even at 15€)
At 25€ via Credit Card? I don't think so. When do they over there realize that outside the US not everyone owns a fricken Visa/EA/whatever. EC cards do the trick just fine ... oh and you cant just snatch one and buy stuff with it >_>

[Dr_Zyklon]

i will eventually, when i get a credit card. i really hope we can get the prepaid code cards people were talking about, so we can buy the card at EBgames Gamestop etc and then just come home type in the code in Ealink and happy fraggin'

My point exactly, why should others have access to what we will pay for.

[Senker]

Yes. for sure!
ten bucks is less than I spend on lunch.
Hell yes it will be worth it just to carry an additional unlock around.
Like SF.
The f2000 was a blast and the flash bangs were my favorite.
Even if we don't play the new maps much. I will love playing with the new weapons. They did say that they will be brought over to the new maps.
Just like the BF2 series. this alone is worth the ten bucks.
I have a great time playing this game.
More content, more exploration.
Bring it EA. I am first in line to shell out my hard earned ten smackers!
Release the damn thing already!

[(Undecided)]

I will only get it if it receives critical acclaim. (A.K.A. worth wasting time trying to get a stable connection to the master server.)

[Alaz]

I was about to stop playing BF2142 actually, it'd lasted a lot less time then BF2 did for me, I really was just waiting for the next FPS to come out.

This could not have come at a better time, i'll definately be getting it. I bought SF for BF2 and only liked it because of the unlocks, i hated all the levels and the way you couldn't use your fav guns when playing the SF maps.

Northern Strike however sounds like its maps are going to be pretty decent, and 10 new unlocks is always fun \o/.

[vaineh]

not buying

[xR3LOADx]

Here comes another Euro forces lol. No.

[mondo66]

I'll buy it for the unlocks and maps, just don't like the field upgrade idea for those that don't.

And YES!!! I will buy this BP, actually, I'll probably buy three or four of them if I can find a way to arrange it.

[mrchuckles]

Yup, I will buy it. The unlocks sound cool and the new conquest mode where you can't take the enemies main base until all the other flags are taken, very interesting. More infantry maps, sounds like fun.

I will say though that I was disappointed by the previous BP efforts from DICE/EA in BF2.

[[DBD]crowfoot]

I will buy it.

[Gongong]

I probably won't buy it because of EA's sick selling methods.
EA link so you can't get a disc.
Making us pay for half a expansion pack.
Rushing DICE so they can't patch up the game propertly.
Making the new unlocks available in the main game, but not equally to everyone, to make people buy it.

[mjrstiffie]

I'll more then likely buy it, but if it's more then 10 bucks.................... no.

[spork32983475938]

hell no..this booster is probably crap, in fact ill nearly bet on it..they wont even tell us what the unlocks are ..what the new stuff in it is ..no map details, no nothing really...would you go to some resturant and order the special not knowing what it is ?..i sure wouldent..and im not going to do it now...i dont know what there marketing people are doing but this utter crap and im so not doing it ..

Unless you include McDonald's, I don't think many restaurants publish their menu two months in advance.

I am sure that that information will be available before release, and otherwise you can find it on sites like this shortly after.

[Micster]

I'll buy. Not much money wasted, an I get a bunch of awesome stuff that works with the core game. I fear bugs that would come with the Booster however, so I hope DICE doesn't mess up worse than that time they accidently made the "Titan Crash" bug that required a hotfix.

[XM03]

I cant see this being like 'Special Forces' was, the game was okay yes, but the amount of servers actually running it after a month showed how much of a flop it was. No this is going to be worse then Special forces was, this is going to be the the whole Armored Fury days all over again, oh and less said about the EU army which never really saw the light of day on a modern battlefield the better. But all in all i will buy it, shame i will probably never get to play it on a server that doesnt ping at 999, its all well and good having an alternative to the vanilla option but if you cant play it then its pointless. This should come out in a patch format,Road to Jahaalalalalalallalalalalalalallalalbad style and be part of the main game.
