2142 Beta 1.40 Available for Download

[sxdemon]

So what about the little buton in the high left corner?

I wonder why all the official beta server are in russia, they are so laggy!
I wonder if they are only russian over there. If yes, man, russian are teamkilling everyone lol.

[wtf.panda]

I haven't played the beta yet....but I can't believe that they increased the RoF of the clark. That's just ridiculous. The gun already shoots fast, and has NO deviation. They had better add some sort of recoil, or some sort of deviation, if not; I probably won't play vanilla 2142 again.

Okay so what happens to my game when I install the 'incremental'? People in this thread talk of wanting to revert to 1.25 etc.. Also, I seem to be confused with this Highway Tampa business. You'd think the talk of it would be slightly louder, although no one seems to care that it's out. This patch gives me Highway Tampa upon installation?

Yes when you install it you get 5 multi servers all playing tampa, I just want to go back so I can play the other levels. Also this is a beta, like a trial version, it hasn't been "officially" released so thats why more people arn't talking about it.

If you make the mistake of just DL the patch without copying another file into your directory, you'll need to reinstall the game, patch back up to 1.25, and your all set. My advice, wait for the official version. Did I say that map was huge.

Also I recieved that badge for capturing the assault lines last base but did not get the unlock point, is it because it was the EU base not PAC? or it was not a northern strike map? Or are the servers just unranked?

You dont earn an unlock credit for just the assault lines PIN - wish you could tho

Yes you do, for your first one. I did.

Edit:

yea, the RoF is ridiculous. Dont get me wrong, I love it but it just seems a bit too much. And no there is NO DEVIATION. I was using it last night and it was stupid how much easier it is to use.....so much so that more then half the noobs on there were using it, very annoying might I add.

I seriously cannot believe they are increasing the Clark ROF. The Clark is overpowered as it is, if you have something that sorta maybe resembles the ability to aim, you can rack up the kills. I'm also glad it took them 3 years (counting back to bf2) to finally save kit customizations.

Tampa is a map that is somehow worse than Shuhia Tabia. Double Assault Lines on such a monstrously large map is pretty dumb because neither home flag will ever be capped. All this seems like a cheap way to distract people from the ETQW beta and upcoming release.

The guy babbleing about PlanetSide appearently never played PlanetSide.

The switch on the Jackhammer flipped it to 3 shot bursts which had a bigger cone due to recoil. of fire which really just meant they were less accurate.

The "choke" was on the NC MAX with a shotgun. It worked like real choke so the gun would be useful at different ranges.

You know that it's bad when the #1 shotgun whore in the world say's it's bad...


And yes, you are a whore

[Dartwick]

I think the shotgun should get some help.

Yes a good player can kick butt with it, but a good player can kick butt with anything.


For as bad as the shotgun is at medium to long range its much better than a Voss or Krylov up close. It should be.
