EA cancelling BF2142?

Supposedly, EA/DICE listened to the fans for once. A recent poll showed that many people were against the release of BF2142, so EA scrapped the project...amazing.

EDIT: A quote from DICE's EP

Furthermore a decision was made to focus on supporting Battlefield 2 through patches and listening to the entire community instead of the crying sounds of pubnubs.

EDIT 2: /me is sad

[El Cid]

Haha, they gotcha :d

 

[Monkwarrior]

****...i hate you...and planet battlefield

I love you too

 

[KrazyKraut]

Actually i would support that move. Sad that it's just a joke.

 

[King Ragnar]

Yup shame it is a joke, because that game looks like a big pile of.......

 

[who]

i thought the game was a mint idea, i would have definatly bought it

since xbox360 has ghost recon the pc needs a good futuristic warsim.

cmon EA, make the game!

 

[SiFi]

except isn't Ghost recon a realistic near future infantry game, and BF2142 a sci fi action game with mechs? Not really that similar ;P

"so I will not be able to make my car payments on my Ferrari 599 GTB Fiorano vehicle"

Dear lord, we cant have that

 

[Tyr]

too bad, I was actually going to be impressed for a minute

 

[Amerikaner]

Lol its sad that for EA, integrity is a joke.

 

[2ltben]

Why don't people realize that we get sh*t information on this day?

*edit*
Ghost Recon is an Ubi-Soft game. If you don't immediately recognize Ubi, it's EA with business ethics.

yawn....

Never ever utter the words "realistic" in the same sentence with a title of a Red Storm game. The last one of those died with Ravenshield.

And I am really looking forward to BF2142, because this scenario fits the way the BF series is played best. Also, I really missed some good mech action since Mechwarrior 4

 

[spraduke]

mechwarrior rocked hard!

 

[takadi]

wow, only in EA is "listening to the community" an april fool's joke. I can imagine them now sipping their wine in their mansions laughing their asses off.

 

[FYROM]

Except that if anyone could screw up mechs, it would be EA .

Actually I hope they have some spider tanks like in GITS:SAC, that would almost get me to buy it.

I seriously doubt the mech combat will anything near as good as the mech series, allthough if im wrong let me know cos i too wouldnt mind some mech combat on a modern engine.

I just find mechs terribly inefficient. Main battle vehicles shouldn't be able to trip, and they definitely shouldn't be topheavy and on stilts.
