Which one do you think is better and why?

Personally, I think Battlefield 2142 is my favorite. Battlefield 2 and Battlefield 1942 tie for second. Battlefield: BC2 is bound to be my new fav though :D

I like Battlefield 2 best. I just never got into 1942 or 2142. Plus Battlefield 2 has a ton of awesome mods.

Battlefield 2142 i liked the most i think it had better ground combat and less of stupid nuke kill. Battlefield 2 still great. Battlefield 1942 i can't think that far back :)

I like 2142 the most because it has Mechs, titan mode, and other stuff. Then i like BF 2. I do not like 1942

BF2 because of all the awesome mods, but if you're talking vanilla, 2142 for sure.

BF2 is by far my favorite. I never played 1942 online as I was new to the PC then, and really had no clue what to do. 2142 feels like a mod of BF2 to me. BF2 was also my first game to play with a clan, so that was special for me.

I actually liked it a lot. It's funny though how Dice has completely forgeten it, by calling Battlefield 3, Battlefield 2.

Shame since Vietnam is actually a place where not many games have taken place in. It's like an untapped gold mine. Kind of like how WW2 was, well before that setting was raped to death.

I enjoyed BF 2142 the most. I liked the spin it put on things, the weapons and upgrades were truly awesome (engineer with antitank rifle FTW!), and the vehicles were just great...those two-legged mechs were so much fun.

BF 2 was pretty good as well.

And for some reason I just didnt plain like BF 1942...felt way too arcade

2142 is pretty under appreciated. It's much more balanced, faster and has a better unlock system. I played both BF2 and 2142 over 200 hours and I think 2142 is the better game.

Off Topic

You'd need jungles and forests similar to Crysis to make a Vietnam game work since a lot of the fighting were in the jungle or around firebases and rice paddies. Of course, there was also Tet and the resulting urban fighting.

Back to Topic

I never did play Battlefield Vietnam. I liked BF1942 with the Desert Combat Extended (DCX) mod. BF2 remains my favorite by far for online. But, I play more of BF1942/DCX (single-player and as time-waster) on the road because my laptop is too weak for BF2.

I loved 2142 and I hope to see a newer version after they roll out Battlefield 3. 2142 is a game I may play until the last server is brought down.

i got to say Batllefield 2 because Battlefield 2142 doesn't have so many maps ant it's all laser weapons that makes it a little boring while Battlefield 1942 is really fun to play with friends but it just doesn't add up today.

I like everything about BF 2, it has a superb atmosphere, while BF2142 has better gameplay, it just isn't the same, something's missing.

Battlefield 2. Battlefield 2142, while solved a few issues with BF2, added many of its own. Plus, that game is as close as any game has ever come to being a full priced MOD.

??? laser weapons ??? Seriously, play a game first before commenting.

On topic, BF1942 was awesome. I'd really like to see DICE brings back things like artillery and cannon emplacments. Bombarding shorelines from ships prior to watercraft landings was epic and just simply more fun having the commander simply call in an arty strike. Although I feel 2142 did the best as far as air combat. The aircraft are strong, but not so grossly overpowered. 2142 also the better unlock system. It actually changed how you played your class rather then simply give you a better gun.

Yeah, he should have said, laser sparkle fountain burst. The weapons were one of the bad things from BF 2142, but it had to be those weapons since it's a sci-fi game.

BF2142 has the most options but I never got into the whole sci-fi theme. BF2 is my favorite. BF1942 is way outdated.

I liked BF1942 a lot and I still do after BF2 and 2142. It's just too awesome playing that map with the bombers and fighter planes. None of this "lock-on" rocket ********.

And if he said that I still wouldn't know what he was talking about. All the weapons were projectile or missle based just like every other BF game. I really get the feeling that alot of people simply wrote off 2142 without ever giving it a try.
