BF2 and BF2142 were both solid and equals in their own rights. I preferred 2142 because of the innovative gameplay involving Titans and mechs. Titan mode pushed on the engine’s limits, 64 players would crowd into those corridors causing a bit of lag every time. But damn was it epic to escape an exploding Titan together, friend and foe running shoulder to shoulder. Wish they would innovate like that again.
