LOL one century is a long time. Look back 100 years ago
today's army vs the 1900s version? LMAO

We went from a Z80 to a Conroe in less time FFS!!

Not just the weapons and tech has changed, but cammo, doctrine, strategy and tactics has too....

so the future according to EA we will be running and gunning and bunny hopping and pop-guning each other

I just don't see how in 136 years we can change our ammo so much that we go from brass casings to starwars laser ammo like some of you want. The bullets are different but I don't remember how exactly, in the demo the ammo for the guns you get just appears to be regular ammo similar to what we have now except for the sniper rifle because that bullet travels 2 miles per hour.

In 100 years we have gone from bullets and propellant encased in cartridges being fired from rifled barrels.......to bullets and propellant encased in cartridges being fired from rifled barrels; just in quicker succession.

The technology behind projectile weapons really has not advanced that much. It's still basically pushing a piece of lead down a barrel by blowing up something behind it. I agree with Strother. Laser based infantry weapons are still a long way off. Bullets, or at least similar projectiles are with us for a long while yet.

What Conscript said.

There will probably not be much change simply because it's not really needed. 1 modern day soldier has about the same firepower that a entire regiment of musketeers had back in the days.

Someone should make a game where a modern day soldier gets warped back in time and he gets to use his SAW against Roman Legions lol! Can one man with enough ammo hold off an entire ancient army?

I found out that there are actually admins on some of the demo servers of BF2142 and they are extremely anul(mispelled to avoid censor). But then again I was drunk and making fun of all the nerds talking.

that makes complete sense

This ******* shader optimizer never ends. Maybe better to remove the game.
