#74 – The One Without a Title

In Episode #74 we revisit a discussion sparked by an audio question from one of our viewers: Why do people play Battlefield 2 more than Battlefield 2142? Before you lynch us, we at least try to stay neutral and discuss the issue at all relevant levels. We then tackle another audio question dealing with our favorite and least favorite weapons in BF2 and BF2142.

After the mod updates, an old-school Battlefield 2 movie, Frappr Shoutouts, and mysterious unknown objects in Ole’s keyboard, there’s hardly enough time to give an update on the Bad Company on the PC petition and to pimp our swag. Have you bought a Battlefield Podcast shirt today?

    Cool show :)

  • owned4ursake

    I agree

  • Doug

    Chalk 2 needs to think through what he’s going to say before you start because at the moment he appears to be a right hand man that simply repeats Chalk 1 and states the obvious. Just an observation.

  • JudgementDay

    Yes, two thumbs up!

    QUOTE: “Chalk 2 ……”

    Wow, hope that’s not “New J(ive)” peeking-out from under the covers. …Just a comment…

  • http://www.tuxmedia.tv Ole

    I’m confused, what does that mean johnston21?

  • http://www.bklynboys.com Poco Loco

    Me too? Great Podcast.

  • johnston21

    I was trying to politly say that I hope the comment/”dig” towards Chalk 2 (from Doug), wasn’t coming from GI Jersey, hence New J(ersey) or New J(ive).

    In hind-site, I guess it may be best not to post such feedback. Please feel free to delete this and my previous post.

    Apologies…

    Thanks for the cast :)

    Ideas for the next show ?

    I’m new to BF2. I’ve just finished playing Brothers in Arms: Earned in Blood, which is used in the West Point simulation lab to teach tactics. Can real world tactics be applied to BF2 ?

    Hey guys great to hear that the bf bc sign up sheet is still growing.

    Ole here is a tip for the gunships in 2142. The missiles track, but they need some help so dog your target until you have a feel for his or her flight path and lead them with your missile launches. That really helped my air game, good luck.

    To Doug
    Chalk 2 needs to not think through what he is saying before he starts because at this moment he appears to be a podcast host doing the 74th show on one topic with one other host who also likes the game. They are going to agree on some points!
    I worked in broadcasting for a few years on air, it is not easy.
    I personally admire Hee for the positive attitude he brings to the podcast, and the game. And for having the guts to do a podcast in enligsh a 2nd lauguage for him I think, correct me on that if Im wrong.
    Maybe you had a bad day?I do not know. But for the love of … if you are going to hack on someone like that at least have the stones to not put “just an observation” on the end.

    keep up the good work guys.

  • http://www.tuxmedia.tv Ole

    Hehe, no worries Doug and Johnston21, I had a slow brain day that day ;) Hee is Hee and that’ll likely never change, and yeah, we do agree on a lot of things but he’s also got his own opinions, that’s for sure. Plus he does add to the lighter side of the show. But as always, we welcome all feedback and are always trying to improve :)

  • thundermanx

    my comment was on that show (happy) btw, what happened to Bruce, tip of the week, and top stories? i really miss those.

  • http://www.tuxmedia.tv Ole

    Bruce is no more, we’re all tipped out, and what top stories? There really aren’t any top stories for BF2 or BF2142 these days. We still do top stories, we just don’t turn tiny news updates into huge overblown top stories. We’re a lot more “down to earth” and “real” now, I think.

  • Snowstorm

    Nice going guys!

    I have now made it to the latest episode, and you were correct Ole, you did get better =) You now have a good flow going and a nice and relaxed discussion. I also like that there are a bit less mod news and more general discussions on the games. Especialy geme experiences and tips etc. It’s nice to hear how others play, what they like and don’t like, good and bad tactics, weapon and vichile use and so fort.

    I don’t now if you’ve taken it up in some of the old episodes, but I was wondering about the Sergeant Major of the Corps in BF2. Who gets it? Does anyone have it at the moment? Why all the mystery? Been surfing the net a lot these past days and theres realy not much info on that rank.
    Any thoughts?

    Once again, nice job guys, keep it up! The new donw-to-earth format is great!

    Nice pod cast guys, about whats better BF2 or BF2142, well for a start thier are totaly differet, you can’t realy compare them, its like COD:2 and COD:4 they are totaly different games, you can’t realy compare them. I have played about 600 hours BF2, and 300 BF2142. I have to say i like both, mabey BF 2142 is abit more fun, as its all in the future, why pods and hover tanks and stuff like that. Bf2 is all reality, which aint that fun. This is all my opinion. :D

  • http://www.tuxmedia.tv Ole

    Good idea Snowstorm!

  • Poco Loco

    Sergeant Major of the Corps i had gotten that rank along time ago. but now there saying it doesn’t exist anymore. i did not know that. right now im captain

  • Snowstorm

    This one is for Hee:
    You give the show a nice touch of spontanuity, or how ever you spell it in English =P

    “Go squad, go!”

    You never know when he’s going to mention the Spice Girls :)
