Was this peak fps?

Most kids won't understand it, and I say this with no nostalgia goggles whatsoever- Battlefield 2 was peak multiplayer FPS. You may not like that, but that's what it looked like. We're 15 years past this and 64 player servers barely work. Where are our 128 v 128 Battlefield? Why did they massacre our boy?

Absolutely no guarantees. Very little work has been done here. But I'm interested, and hopefully others can get interested too some time.

Tons of people still play the Battlefield 2 demo online.

but why?

I can't believe how well this garbage aged, to this day it still is one of the best games I have played.

>last big multiplayer FPS designed exclusively for PC
>every game after it got downgraded more and more for console-babbies

Fuck consoles, man. Anybody who didn't protest against the consolification about 15 years ago: you guys are the reason gaming sucks now.

2142 was absolutely the best BF game IMO. just the map design, the commander actions, the class unlocks, the shenanigans with the vehicles, etc etc.

I always think of it and Enemy Territory Quake Wars in the same thought, guess they're just really similar. God I miss those games.

Yes. Due to 2142 not getting the Titans to work properly, yes.

Wake Island 2007.
I would still be able to navigate that map even with my eyes closed.

BF Vietnam was peak and nothing ever came close after

No, but it's still the best battlefield game.

Is there a current solution to play online again? BF2Revive was a magical time

was always servers when it came out. Pretty much when BF 2 came everyone migrated.

Daily reminder BF 2 was what EA used to test shit like charging people for maps (Booster Packs) and they went further in 2142 putting dynamic advertisements in the maps

when you heard this you knew you were getting a good map. When you heard the ching chong version you knew you were about to leave the server

>when you would listen to this over and over because it literally took 10 minutes to load the fucking map

WHY DID IT TAKE SO LONG TO LOAD??!

I built a PC with Raid 0 specifically to speed up my loading times in BF2. I could usually be one of the first 10-15 people on the map.

every ching chong map was too big for their own good and basically free kills for anyone good with jets. Wake Island the Chinks would basically lock you down on the battleship for 30 minutes

AH SHIT HERE WE GO AGAIN

Half-life 2

Holy shit, I remember I downloaded the demo back in the day, played for a couple weeks and then bought the game. Played a few matches in the full game and eventually went back to the demo and played that shit for 5 years straight, nearly every single day. Shit was comfy as fuck and I always played with the same group of people. Fuck man I miss those days.

Why don't we start a coalition and bitch like the WoW fags did until EA brings back BF 2?

lol dumbass

We really should. Anyone know anything about that?

Why do modern games have suck quick TTK? In BF2 you really had to earn your kills since you had a large amount of health which made the fire fights better? Now in every game you die in 1 second and 9/10 times whoever shoots first wins.

Short attention spans
Same reason why the commander mode only appeared again in BF4, and why destructible command structures like radar sites and artillery guns never came back either.

>he's coming right at me dedicated to killing me even if it means kamikaze
>pull out panzerfäust at last second by accident and blow him out of the sky seconds before he slammed into me

and thats how I fell in love with this series and was a devoted fan.......until consoles ruined it all

The one and only thing 2142 did wrong was start the trend of class consolidation and making them self sufficient.

>spamming nades in Karkand for hours as support and seeing people get absolutely assblasted

I hope you guys did this.

>tfw constantly had to divide my gaming time between BF 2 and Unreal Tournament 2004

The struggle was real.

If japan got some capable pilots in the start it was basically a US spawnrape match, f35s were shit compared to j10s.

I was the guy who got your capture point all the way in the back and you were the only guy on your team who noticed and tried to do anything and kept getting buttfucked by me

I was the transport heli guy
BF2 ha the best feeling chopper flight model, shit had actual weight instead of feeling like RC models

Wasn't it that the special unlock medic gun was objectively the best gun in the game and made the medic the best class?

There was that one MEC map that had low bridges at their spawn and it literally made no sense and was dangerous as fuck to fly under them but I did it every time with a loaded chopper

Yes, g36e or something. That burst was insanely overpowered in terms of accuracy.

>spams infinite grenades
>attrocious hitbox
>anything other than infrantry only is fucking retarded. Jet planes are broken as fuck.
I played this so much back in the day but god damn this fucking nonsense. The grenade spam was common in those days, CoD did it too. BUT WHY? It's extremely retarded.
It seriously made me stop playing because how fucking bullshit it was.
Only anger, no fun

I think to stop this I just played as Commander so I could call a UAV on a whim at my position

it was actually almost always better to crouch since the dive only extended the length of the knife but left you stuck on the ground for half a second.

it made shitters angry because they would always aim where you used to be instead of on the path downwards where logically the hitbox would be and so they were so fucking about it that they completely disabled going prone for the entire bad company series for years afterwards.

It was annoying because the moment you captured the enemies last point, all you heard was them respawning constantly and the ching song of grenades beingprimes

what? BF2 loaded so much faster than 1942. You just had shitty HDD or RAM.

>BF Vietnam and 2 they didn't even bother
>BF 2142 of shit drivable spaceships wtf....it's still wonky

How come they couldn't fix this?

Its been years so I dont remember it very well but I do remember my server eventually devolving into a dolphin diving fest, like every close quarters and sometimes even medium range encounters was just people spamming that shit. I do remember going prone though.

All I remember about Titan gameplay was it was literally one hallway
If you could get past that (which was hard AF) then you automatically win.

playing this game at home against bots was my life

>putting years of time and effort into something which takes a few seconds, when it isn't even realistic

Such is the life of high TTK fags

if you meant that rolling shit yeah sure but only shitters did that
it was only effective on stupid people who didnt know to aim on the lower part of the hitbox.
once you figured that out, it was free kills where the stupid idiot who dove locked themselves into a position over the maneuverability of being able to sprint and adada

I couldnt even get this shit to run when I was a kid since I fucked up the account creation process somehow. Had to play with the bots.

nah
medic patch tf2 was the best

I think Quake 3 was peak FPS. Still holds up, gameplay was simple with a high skill ceiling. Jump, strafe, crouch & shoot is all you needed.

I mean like this youtube.com/watch?v=ex5uZUcZTCQ

I remember a girl in highschool sucking my dick as I played BF2 on the PC. Shit was so cash.

Why can't they just make a game like this again, easy to learn, hard to master competitive games.

Sniping was really cool. Come to think of it, I think the red dot and hold + release to fire was a neat mechanic.

They did it's called fortnite.

>vanilla Q3A
>not CPMA
stop trying to fit in zoomer

everything was neat
>conc jumping
>the shit you could do with the engineer to lock people in spawns
>demoman bomb that kills everyone within 500 feet
>rocket jumping
>getting gud with the spy and blending in

Only one that sucked ass was pyro.

I remember sucking some user's dick while dressed up like a girl as he was playing videogames in highschool.

What ever happened to that free game where you could assassinate JFK? It has been completely removed from the internet.

I preferred OSP 1v1, but CPMA is ok if you like rocket jumping everywhere and not timing items.

You’re weird

I thought you meant when they did this stuff

Based. 2142 was the best multiplayer FPS of all time.

This is why bf2 was garbage after it being new.

JFK Reloaded, here ya go buddy
fileplanet.com/archive/p-16316/JFK-Reloaded-v1-1

it was peak "modern" battlefield
Soulless

Vehicle physics are hard, its whwhy helicopters feel better in gta3 than in gta 5

1942 and Vietnam are better but 2 is still good. 2142 was the last good one. Bc1 is where it really started to go downhill.

Anyway peak fps is duke3d/seriousserioussseriousserioussam/ut99/q3a

bf2 was a broken clusterfuck
the vehicles were so broken you had to play on infantry servers
where the garbage netcode and the trash engine combined into one huge shitpile

Why? Because learning movement techniques was too hard for your underage brain at the time? Remember, movement was a huge deal back in the arena shooter days, specially with unreal and quake. That only changed with the casual shitfest that was counter strike, the call of duty of its day. Movement in bf2 added a high skill ceiling to infantry combat that forced shitters to either adapt or get fucked.

This post is the epitome of "they hated him because he spoke the truth"

That's not 2142

bf3 was console trash

based pod rammer

>32 players
nope

fuck that shit just downloaded BF hub and will install BF2

BF2hub is still populated. Wish I could say the same for 2142.

If they won't remake 2142 I'll be mad

No.
Peak fps was Doom.
Original Doom.
If you disagree with this, you're objectively wrong, have shit taste, and you're probably underage.
