Alright kids, it's get-some-fresh-juicy-info time. We will in the near future hold a devchat with DICE, the developers of the new Battlefield 2142 in their channel #battlefield2142

I assume the game is familiar enough that it needs no introduction from me. What we want you to do is to come up with questions regarding the game to ask the developers. We want to have these questions as early as possible to give DICE good time to prepare some interesting answers for us.

So go ahead, come up with anything you want to know about Battlefield 2142 and post your questions in this thread! Feel free to point any Quakenet friends you have that might be interested to this thread aswell. The more questions, the better!

Will you stop patching BF2 now, when BF2142 is released or will we get more patches to BF2?

Ok, here's a long one!

BF2 is getting pretty shaped up with all the bugs and stuff, but this one has bugged me since the BF2 demo.

Whenever I stand still or circle strafe while I'm keeping my mouse in motion the graphics engine starts
to stutter, as you can see in this (crappy) demonstration: http://media.putfile.com/BF2ryckningar
(Pause to read the text, it's in swedish so you might wanna send it to the guys in Stockholm Wink )

Standing still and moving the mouse around = Stuttering.
Strafing while moving the mouse around = Stuttering.
Only walking/sprinting backwards and forwards while moving the mouse around = No stuttering.
Moving the mouse while in a vehicle (any vehicle) = No stuttering.
Freecam = No stuttering.

I can't really figure it out, but it seems that the stuttering only appears while you're running around on foot.

It doesn't have anything to do with either the FPS (above 200, still the same stuttering) or my computer (Core 2 Duo, 2 GB RAM, 7900 GT - other games runs fine).
Many people have the same problem and we can't seem to find a solution. We have tried everything imaginable, but nothing works.
I was hoping that you guys had fixed this annoying bug in BF2142, but nope, it's there to...

I (and several others) would really appriciate if you took some time to try and figure out what's causing this.

Thanks in advance and keep up the good job!

Will bf2142 be complete when its released, or will the players receive "once in a month" gameplay changing patches that make older players leave the game?

Did you consider the game be played as pure public game or did you have clan gaming in mind when creating the game. Especially with all the unlocks tied to the game did you intend the matches to be played without the most basic of unlocks or with all enabled for example? Having to play public to increase your usefullness in clanmatches just doesn't sound acceptable.

Will you add Spectators mode/improved demo features/etc someday if not at release.

Have you considered a option for server allow limit how many of each class is allowed on side, for example many clan players in paticular hate the horde of newbie wannabe snipers on public servers

Will the unlock weapons be much better in terms of accurity and overall usefullness like in bf2(many players tend to hate this "feature"), or have you made the gadgets the new "carrot on the stick" for public players?

Will bf2142 in your opinion have any chance of threatening CS's place in competive gaming?

edit:

Will you fix the laggyness of the demo while moving as inf. ?
Will you make battlewalkers less overpowered? For example by reducing the effectiness agains armor?

Dont forget we asked for questions, not for articles. So that would be "Are the stuttering issues on BF2 been fixed on BF2142?"

Battlefield is all about the rock-paper-scissors type of gameplay. However, with the large amount of vehicles in BF2142, what do you suppose the role of the infantry is? Is the infantry supposed to be the "basis" of the team or are the vehicles the main force, while the infantry complement the efforts of the vehicles and have special tasks such as assaulting the titan?

Hehe, yeah, but in case they don't got a clue what I'm talking about i found it necessarily to describe the problem as thoroughly as I could. Tongue

And, no, the stuttering is not fixed in BF2142. :/

I've got another question. How come there is no smoke puffs, like in BF2, when shooting at someone? I miss them...

Some Questions from our community:

1. Why won't there be Jets in BF2142?

2. How about giving some "basic unlocks" to the players already (f.ex grenades ect)?

3. Why weren't COOP, Singleplayer and Lan-Servers included with the Demo?

4. Will there be "Booster Packs" for BF2142? Will there be new Weapons/Maps/Vehicels included or even new gampley modes (f.ex more "objective based" modes)? Any plans about this?

5. If new maps were released with the boosterpacks and a patch for compartibility ist scheduled (as we saw it with bf2): How about to integrate the boosterpack-map as a "demo-map" for non-boosterpack-owners?

6. Will "Vehicle Drop" and "Inf-Mode" be shipped with the full bf2142? If not, will it be integrated later (with a patch)?

7. Why isnt there a possibility to spot -for example- "destroyed bridges","UAVs" or enemy mines with the CommoRose?


We and our Community are looking forward to some interesting answers Wink

here we go again:

8. A lot of BF2-issues got fixed with BF2142...but are still remaining in BF2. Why is this? Can we expect Bf2 to get even with BF2142 regarding this aspect?

9. Will you allow the "Unlock-System" to be fully configurable by server-options? (So competitive eSport can be really competitive with no "odds" for players higher- or lower-leveled as their matchopponent)

10. Are there any other plans to support eSport-Community - regarding this "configuration-direction"?

11. Will you reduce Makro-Abusing by not allowing inhuman high klick-counts per second?

Okay, I have a question.

What the hell are you doing during 'optimizing shaders'? Why does it take forever? Is there some really, really heavy static analysis going on there or what...? :-)

Sweet~ game!

Tournament BF2142:

Recently there was a special Clanmode for 2142 announced. I, and a bet of clanplayers, would like to know how the clanmode exactly looks like?

Will there be unlocks that are regular with the clanmode like better Stamina, Defibrilator, Grenades etc?

Short question.. or maybe a suggestion.
Will the demo be patched to allow playing in Windows Vista?
Right now all it does when you try to start the game is crash with an error saying it cannot find the file d3dx9_29.dll.
Pretty much meaning it doesnt want to run under Directx10.
I take it for granted that the full game will run under a dx10 only environment.
thnx

(19:31:26) (@BF2142) Dead asked: Why the switch from "nice extras" kind of unlocks in BF2 to "Essential" unlocks in 2142 such as Grenades, and revive kits? Should'nt people be able to enjoy the game to its fullest right out of the box without playing on Ranked servers?
(19:31:26) (@BF2142) [DICE]Demize99 answers: Sometimes, The Journey is its own Reward.

I can answer that a rather un-desguised way rather then the way you have just answered that question, its because you would rather make money from people on the need for more ranked servers then listening and watching what the gamers want, prime example? its called BF2. get a clue.

As you can see in the logs, none of the questions asked in this thread were answered in the chat. I find it peculiar that people are asked to submit questions here, but the questions don't seem to be put forward to the devs.
