Home : News : Battlefield 2142 : News Story

An interview with Marcus Nilsson, the senior Producer for the game has revealed a few new tidbits about the multiplayer browser and load times.

The interview is featured over at Computer Games Online:

"What changes have been made to the server browsing interface? Will players be able to keep track of friends in the multiplayer browser?

Yes, I’m pleased to say that we now have a buddy system to track your friends, and your favorite servers, with just a click.

Compared to Battlefield 2, how long will the loading time be for Battlefield 2142?

After the initial set up of the video card, loading a level will take about 20-30 seconds depending on your configuration.

How will some of the new player abilities such as cloaking and sentry guns change game play? What other futuristic toys will soldiers have at their disposal?

The toys in 2142 will do nothing but enhance the experience gamers have gotten used to in the BF series. The unlock system is an expansion of the rock/paper/scissors methodology which makes things more interesting as it’s a completely strategic decision regarding how you equip your soldier, and your squad. A quick tip: The sentry gun is a “must have” for any squad defending their Titan. Just remember it can be disabled by an EMP grenade."
