I have a feeling this release won't be very successful. It's too close on the heels of BF2. BF2 could still see a lot of success, but introducing a new re-make of the same game is only going to confuse the market. In fact, I just saw in the paper yesterday - BF2 is $39.99. This new 2142 game is $49.99.
Cannabilism ftw.
my problem with the whole battlefield thing... all of them are decent games, but i wish the setting would stay the same for a few so they could work out some of the annoying kinks with the gameplay rather than go into the future... which is imo the lamest setting so far...
