Thread: To buy or not to buy...

I am considering buying BF2142. I just wanted to know if it would be worth buying now. Is the popularity declining? Any new expansions or versions coming out soon? Really and truly, will this game continue to thrive on ttp, or would I be wasting my money?

I could just about guarantee that you'll get at least a solid month of gametime out of it. From the limited information I have on the server stats, I can tell you that the place is packed during peak hours every single day. Weekends are obscene.

Really, I'd say it has (bare minimum) at least another 3-6 months of being that solid. I'd say you buy it.

I bought it and played it once. I'm not really into the futuristic thing. Plus, i found it for $27 at a game store in austin. Couldn't really turn a deal down.

It's worth buying. Popularity is not declining; TTP's server is going as strong as ever. It's pretty much BF2 in a different time period and some ingame upgrades that, while not huge, are very nice. More unlocks, squad beacon, commander stuff, Titans, etc.

So what do you think would shut it down in 8 months? I'm assuming you are estimating using the player stats that ttp has. Im not trying to be cheap, but my school schedule doesnt allow for work this semester, so I am trying to be very frugal with my money. Even still, the BF series is a game that requires months and months of gameplay to achieve medals, awards, weapons and so on. I just wanted to make sure I didnt buy it only to find that after my first rank up BF4532 comes out and everyone switches over. I guess I can have some faith, in that the bf2 server is still hoppin even after the release of bf2142.

You can get it for $30.00 and playing it on TTP is great. Play it anywhere else and you will get bored of it after a month or so.

I pulled down the QuakeWars demo yesterday and jumped on it for about 20 minutes and I can say that I won't be pulling anytime away from 2142 to play this one. Point is even though the game is almost a year old it still has legs. Hopefully a few more maps will see the daylight with the 1.4 patch which liven things up even more around here.

Now stop your dilly dallying and get yourself a copy!

It won't be shut down in 6 months, barring something huge (I.E. Patch 1.40 kills kittens). Look at BF2; it's been around ages and is going strong.

You will enjoy it, and it will stay. Its only "competition" at this point, of a similar genre, is Quake Wars, which is a joke to the sort of people that TTP wants. No voip means no teamwork.

Still waiting for "crapcast" to install internet for my computer in my room. They were supposed to be here this morning....they have yet to show up.

If your asking us whether it is worth buying then you don't want it. Just go out and buy the fucking game and you'll decide whether you like it or not, DAMN!
